NOTE: Youtube is currently BADLY delayed on 4K processing. If you particularly want to watch this at full res, patrons have access to a raw, high-bitrate 4K download (16GB)

This video is long because explaining why I did this, and the specific choices I made, requires explaining all the problems I encountered in two years of video creation. These are problems you might also encounter if your aspirations go the same way mine did.
