Every Video I Never Released (So Far)

I thought about April Fools Day for a couple of days and almost had something locked down, but I didn’t have enough time to film it. However, as I sat here this morning watching other YouTubers put up funny videos, I got the idea to release every video I’ve ever shot and didn’t publish.

I didn’t have time to really break it down beyond the introductions to each of them, but I think it’s still funny to see how much time and effort I’ve put into things that never made it to the light of day. It’s also a bit of a relief because now I can archive a lot of these projects and clean up my backlog folder since I finally did at least something with them.

There were actually a couple more that I deleted footage from or forgot to include so the real total is probably closer to 30.
