How long did it take you to make this video?
Short answer: Too Bleeping Long (well over 100 hours as I had to remake this)
(I started in around December and research before then)

What software/equipment did you use to make this video?
After effects, Illustrator, Premier Pro, Audacity, Yeti microphone,

Believe it or not this is in a nutshell compared to the amount of research that went into this
Obviously we've simplified some events just for the sake of time and missed people and events that can be covered in other videos

Do people still read? Eh if your reading this then yes.
