- Hey folks, Danny here from Noclip.
We've already had a really exciting 2019
filming docs on games
like Astroneer, Hades,
Mortal Kombat, Telltale,
and of course Hitman.
We hard at work on a
bunch of new projects,
including an upcoming
documentary on Creative Assembly
and the Total War franchise.
But before we take our bold new steps
into the latter half of 2019,
I wanna give you three
reasons, that's right,
it's our first list video.
Three reasons why the best possible thing
you can do right now
is help support Noclip.
First up, more videos.
If you signed up to our Patreon right now,
you'd not only get access to our Discord
and future Patreon-only videos,
but also three years worth of videos
that have already been made.
Stuff like our hour long
travelogue in Tokyo,
how we filmed the Half-Life documentary,
our PAX Panel,
and even a tour of John
Romero's game collection.
A bunch of edited behind
the scenes documentaries
going all the way back
to our very first project
on Rocket League.
So next time you watch
one of our documentaries,
and are bummed that you're
gonna have to wait weeks
for us to publish another one,
just remember that you
are literally clicks away
from watching me dancing with
random Japanese salarymen
in Akihabara.
Number two.
Keep us ad-free.
It says it right there on the intro,
crowdfunded video game documentaries.
We don't do promotional
work, sold content,
or even run ads on these videos.
Well, apart from this.
This is kind of an ad.
Since day one, being ad-free has been
an important part of our mission.
It helps keeps us honest,
makes sure we don't get
tempted into making click bait,
and allows you a better viewing experience
without any pre-roll ads or, even worse,
ads in the middle of the documentaries.
However we recently found
out that as our channel
has continued to grow in popularity,
these days we're basically
leaving enough money
on the table to pay for a junior editor.
So if you want to help us
out, support our mission
and maybe even hire somebody to help make
more ad-free videos, then
please consider supporting us.
And finally, to help us grow.
Over the past three years we've learned
a lot about how to stretch our budget
to really get the most out of our funding
to hire people in the right places
and even to edit a lot faster
than we were at the beginning,
but we've kind of reached our limit.
If we wanna get to the next stage,
to hire people in key
places to help us edit more
and to make the
documentaries of our dreams,
we're gonna need more funding.
A 15% increase in
funding would get us back
to where we were the last time we asked
for funding in October of 2018,
but if we got closer to a 33% increase,
it would fundamentally change our company.
We could get our own studio,
so we could film more stuff,
bring on more people to
help make our best work yet,
and get the docs out a
hell of a lot faster.
If you've been with us from the start,
you know we're in this for the long run.
The mission has always been to make
an archive of ad-free documentaries
that will last the test of time,
so if you wanna be part of our success
to help this channel,
which didn't even exist three years ago,
reach its full potential,
then please, help us out.
Go to patreon.com/noclip
to join our community
and get access to bunches of bonus stuff.
Or if Patreon isn't your thing,
you can always become a
member here on YouTube,
subscribe to us on Twitch,
or buy a t-shirt on our store.
Thanks so much for supporting our channel.
Thanks for watching our
work and really, sincerely,
if you can help us out
in any way financially,
thank you on behalf of myself
and everyone here at Noclip.
We're working incredibly hard
to make more video game
documentaries you love
and believe me when I say
the best is yet to come.
I hope you're enjoying your summer,
or winter, I guess, if
you're in Australia.
Thanks so much for watching this,
and we'll see you on the channel. Cheers.
