  1. In regards to 'animation'. I do not know the work or costs involved in producing animated videos. I do know that software isn't cheap. And learning curves can be long. I imagine that producing a quality animation is not a small task. * "Incredible Victory", Walter Lord's retelling of Midway was one of the first mil-history books that I ever read. That was in 1975. And to this day, I still can't "see" that complex battle. Until I found "The Operations Room" here on YouTube. "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnZJt7yQw5IztVwe-Dscd-Q" I've found a few channels that attempt military animation. This channel produces the animated content I enjoy the most. His video on Midway, "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HkBW7X7LaU" , answered ALL my questions. And for the first time, I could SEE it...the entire battle. It is a beautifully produced video. * I find it impolite to discuss other channels on Drach's (or anyone's) forum. But Drach is very open in this regard, inviting other content producers to participate here. I apologize if this mention seems out of place. I should also point out that The Operations Room has produced 2 dozen videos in the span of 1.5 years. Quite a bit less than Drach. So, I'll assume that producing 'animations' is not a quick or easy thing to do.

  2. Ironic critique. I strongly agree with your assessment that you don't need 'eyes glued to the device'. But your ears. They MUST be glued to the device. The writing and editing demand it. Aside from the jokes, every sentence is only nonstop facts. Nothing is superfluous.
