The fabled Behind The Scenes video.

Your video creation process is a role model for all youtubers. Paying attention to details, speach, sound levels, lighting. All thumbs up. Thanks

Going back watching videos I haven't seen. Really enjoyed the behind the scenes, really interesting to see how you shoot a video, didn't realise how time consuming it is. Love the 8 track format regret getting rid of mine and now they are so expensive to pick a working player up.

As a new patron I'm going through the exclusives and I didn't know this existed so thank you very much for showing us your workflow. I'm quite surprised that you don't use scripts as while the voice-overs don't sound like they're being read they I've always come across as very clean and professional, I see why now. Personally I would never be able to get through it without forgetting. Also seeing your editing style I wonder if the Contour Shuttle family of controllers would help by giving you some tactile feedback and fixed buttons for commands so you don't have to worry about looking at the keyboard. I use a ShuttleXpress while editing my crappy little videos in Premiere and it has made a huge difference despite not really having enough buttons. It would be interesting to get your opinion on the device too as a general review.

Appreciate that this is pretty delayed but I've only just become a Patreon of yours so didn't know this video existed. Sorry if you've already worked this out or been told but I may be able to provide some insight into why your upload slowed to a crawl for that last 30% :) Judging by your speeds it looks like you're using Virgin as your ISP and as such they're pretty heavy on the throttling if you breach certain thresholds.

Keep up the great work, I look forward to watching the rest of your content throughout 2018 :)

New to your Patreon so catching up on the back catalog. Short take: FANTASTIC! Thank you.

Thanks for making this video, it was really interesting to see the creative process in action! I've always wondered what was involved in making one of your videos, and now I know :-) Are you full-time on this now I'm guessing?

Enjoyed this a lot. Helps one understand how much effort goes into making a video. And also how much knowledge one needs to make a video look professional, as you do. Your fans appreciate your efforts. While they were not in this video, I do want to add an extra thanks for the puppets -- those scripts are priceless as you perfectly capture the ridiculousness (witnessed in their inane comments) of some viewers.

I only just got around to watching this but I'm glad I did. I work with Final Cut Pro X on a fairly regular basis, and just recently had a look at iMovie just for fun. I was very impressed with how capable it is. I could probably do 95% of my work inside iMovie with only a little extra effort. It's a really capable piece of software. Really appreciate the obvious effort and care you put into your videos. They are very much enjoyed.

This was a very interesting look into how you create videos -- working without a script creates more work for you, but it sounds better for the audience in the long run. I noticed you work directly behind your shooting camrea -- do you hunch over a lot? Does it create back pain for you?

It's always very exciting to see, how much work actually goes into making your videos.

Could you please make a behind the scenes video for the behind the scenes video? I'd like to see how you put this video together!

Although it has taken me a few days to watch your 'behind the scenes' video, it has been throughly entertaining and completely worth it. Thank you for your perfection👍

Although I knew that a lot of effort must have been put in by you in making your videos; I was honestly gobsmacked with the work and time from seeing this "behind the scenes" look at what you do. Thanks ever so much for producing really enjoyable content which my partner and I love to watch.

Fascinated by the sheer effort you put into producing your videos, your production standards are so much higher than most YouTubers and I think we can see why. Please don't stop!

Thanks for this very interesting insight of your work. It is astonishing how much time and effort it costs to produce high quality videos like you always do.

Hey.... Amazing Video... I have watched all your Videos and love your content. Today I was able to afford to become a patreon. I am so glad to be able to help support you with your Videos. I have started making my own Videos on YouTube. I'm visually impaired, have ADD and other learning disabilities so I always do things differently to most. But I found it interesting you make your videos in the same way as me. I don't use scripts. I shoot all my unboxing and B roll first. Then do my Intro and Endtro talking head bits. Edit then add in bits and finally Do voice over last... Due to my health I have recently lost my YouTube mojo. But hopefully I will spring back soon. This Video has kind of given me a push to and some motivation. Thanks... One thing I have almost wanted to ask you. Where abouts are you from ? I notice many times you have footage in Liverpool. But your accent gets me lost. I am from Wallasey, on the Wirral. As always... Thanks for Creating.... Sean Yem

I'm not one of the blokes who asked for this, but I'm really glad that you made it and that I got to see it. I don't normally skip around in your videos and did not find reason to when viewing this one, either; I found myself entertained the entire time. I appreciate also that you didn't edit out any of the mistakes, complications, or interruptions you encountered for the sake of realism, because this reveals a lot about the process. It's quite interesting to see that producing these high-quality videos is something that can actually be done by a single, real live human being if he really invests the time and effort. And that is a humbling revelation. Thank you, sir.

It was great seeing the behind the scenes of what you do. I really enjoyed the omni video itself, so it was fascinating to see what went into it.

I didn’t think I would be that interested in this, but I was wrong. Really interesting, and will be an eye opener for those who think that youtubers work for 30 minutes a week. I could relate to seeing the LEET on the watch. I don’t use an alarm, but I have a habit of opening my eyes in the morning with the clock saying 747

Thank you! Really appreciate the effort you go through. Your videos are indeed special compared to everyone else and you should be proud of the work you do. Not sure if you thought about it but these videos might be the best videos there is describing old tech many years from now. Keep it up!

Enjoyed that. Thank you 👍

Hi, Mat, I absolutely agree with Steve Rose above. Being a Patron has opened up a channel of communication I really enjoy and value. I wasn't sure if this was now your full time occupation or not. Based on learning it is, and because I really enjoy your work, I've chucked a bit more into the pot; long may you continue. I'll keep my eye open for any potential projects for you! :) SB

Thank you for allowing us Patreon patrons a peek into the creation of one of your excellent videos!

I also wanted to propose a (possibly foolish) idea for possible retrotech content. I personally would like to know if there was any tentative steps back in the 80's towards what we now call home automation. I daresay what technology existed was probably largely custom tech installed in the houses of Hollywood executives and aspiring Bond villains. But were there any failed attempts to bring this technology to the everyman? Just an idea.

Hi Matt, first I just wanted to say I think you're doing a bang up job with the videos. You've got a natural, easy style that people obviously appreciate. If I have one minor criticism, it would be that I think you spend too much time worrying about whether people will like what you do. That's to your credit, of course, but I'd argue the freaks and nitpickers are a lost cause anyway. Don't worry about the rest of us, we're here because we like what you do.

Yes, Matt, your videos 'do come across different to many other people's'! Yours keep me watching till the end, smiling at a forgotten memory and only interrupted by the occasional chuckle. Thank you for the insight into the hours you spend perfecting each one. You have a gift and immeasurable patience. I lose my composure just collating a few holiday clips in iMovie. Just an idea, but you should do a video of using iMovie. I learnt more about iMovie watching that than I ever gleaned from video tutorials devoted to Apple's app. Thank you again for sharing.

Thanks for the video! I really enjoyed watching the whole process. I am thinking of doing a few youtube videos on my DIY adventures and this provides some much needed context to the actual commitment to do so. I highly doubt I will hit a video a week (or month), but it seems a lot more feasible seeing you go through the process. Thanks again for your excellent content as always!

On the one hand, I'm interested in seeing the "process" behind these awesome, entertaining videos. On the other hand, if I wanted to see an incoherent, asthmatic man struggling with technology (also named Matt) all the time, I could just watch myself in the mirror. And then go have a nice lie down. Thanks for this! Your videos seem to increase in quality with each new offering.

Hi Mat. Thank you so much for doing this. This might sound odd but as a Patreon member I feel a proper connect and this video made me feel privileged and a part of the process. Reading that back it sounds creepy but I think you know what I mean. Anyway thank you.

I know exactly how you feel and am currently in that long process myself, though I haven’t quite found it yet. You’ve given me new hope.

Thank you for sharing this with us Matt, it’s eye opening to see how much time and effort goes into these videos. Like you, my health is a big factor in the work I can do. Can’t wait to see what’s going to be next, though do it at your pace. If I’m ever up your way with the Mrs, we’ll say Hello if we see you.

Don't feel too weird. I used to regularly look at the clock at 11:11, then it stopped for a long time, but it started again recently. It happens to many people.

Really cool behind the scenes video. Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for making this. I know that each minute of video might require 50 or even 100 minutes of thought, preparation, shooting, editing and so on. You made the process enjoyable to watch while giving us an appreciation of your style. Speaking for myself, I care very much about the creator of the video and even the issues you deal with health-wise. What you called "babbling" is more like actually being in the room with a friend as their thoughts coalesce. While this is not something I would like to see on a regular basis, I am so very thankful that you did is for us this time.

I really enjoyed all of this video so thanks for taking the time to put it together for us. I didn't realise just how much effort went into creating a video! Top work as always. James.

Thanks for this - so much work - but always a joy to watch. I really liked it... A questions, is this a full time job, or do boy have a "real" paying job on the side?

Great job. Thanks very much for sharing. I feel like I got a back stage pass!

quite enjoyed that, didn't appreciate quite what went in to the finished article. Next time you're over in Liverpool, would love to shout you a coffee, if you have the time

When I first looked at the playtime of this video I thought it's gonna be long winded. But I was wrong. That hour went quick and I feed indeed properly entertained. That was very interesting to watch.

That was extremely interesting. It's useful to be reminded how much work is required to produce these things. If the whole thing is put together well, you can easily forget that so much polish takes a lot of effort and time. Great stuff.

Well, I enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing this inside look. Plus teasing us in the process with news of yet more mystery packages showing up on your doorstep! Keep up the great work.

Hi Mat, I fully enjoyed watching this (as with all of your stuff). Thanks for making patrons feel special with this extra bit and sharing a bit of your life from behind the camera. I'm really glad you've been successful enough with this that you can create content for us full time!

Pavolv's doorbell again!

Very helpful to those of us thinking of starting up our own channel, knowing what areas to concentrate on (and avoid). Thanks very much for putting this out.

I'm on holidays away from home and lack of a proper internet connection, so I will not watch the video in a few days. (I've seen it's an hour long, that would kill my cellphone data plan). I also lack of English writing skills so I apologise if my text doesn't make any sense. I make videos for a living. Nowadays I'm focused on 3D VR videos, but that's not of importance. I usually see people that apologises for making videos and not having the skills of a pro. It's not necessary, the main purpose of audiovisual language is telling a story, and you do well. I appreciate the effort of making a good, tidy and proper recorded video, that shows interest in your work, but is no necessary to have pro skills. I don't want to make this longer, I hope I made my point. Really enjoy your videos, thanks for your work.

wait.. you are asthmatic too? damn man considering the littany of things you have to deal with I have to say it's wonderful you have such a rewarding and enjoyable hobby and can get the most out of life. (I am sure there is more you do that this but it still is really kool to see) . Also I just realized looking at the Omni in that screenshot thumb it totally reminds me of the new CPU layout for the Xbox X hehehe.
