The first medieval movie criticism for ages
Already it's been hit with a copyright strike, which leaves me in a dilemma. I could appeal, risking having it taken down, but if I win I get to earn money from it. So far, I have won pretty much every appeal of this type, using the 'fair use' defence, BUT if I lose and it gets taken down, then that won't please my sponsor. I could wait a month to get the number of views required by the sponsor, and then appeal, but by then it will have earned most of its money already. Thanks to you, though, it sort of 'earns' me some money. Thanks. At least I got a free chair out of it.
Yes, I know that the picture quality is poor. Possibly, with my new computer, there is some way that it could be improved upon. The pictures are good enough to get the points across, though.
If this does well in terms of views, then possibly I'll do more. They take ages to edit, and the risk of a copyright strike is always high, even with New Line Cinema, which is more forgiving than most. I shouldn't have agreed to have this sponsored, though, partly becau8se of the copyright problem, which I didn't think about until it was too late, but also because an advert in a video as short as this is so much more intrusive.
Still - we suffer into truth. Who here knows the writer I just quoted?

Hahaha! Glorious! Especially the bit about the dramatic charge, one horseman slips slightly, they all die, haha This did get me thinking, who was it in reality who actually designed each castle for the lord of each area, and did the mathematics of it all, in such an early age? Castles seemed sophisticated and mathematical for their time, I would like to learn more about castle engineers and architects themselves. Also, I am a history-loving medieval-obsessed LOTR-loving epileptic with a broken spine and the need of a new chair, so I do believe I am the target audience for this video
Copyright claim, aye? That was my first thought when I heard LotR's music during intro. On a technical note. I understand that the copyright claim does something with ad revenue, but what about donations, thanks, super-commemts or whatever they are called?
