I don’t usually spend more than 2 hours at a time, so if it’s a detailed video like Unbroken, it will usually take about 1-2 weeks. …
AB: My video “Elite Gymnastics- Why do we fall?” is the most watched on my YouTube with around 600K views! That one is very similar to Unbroken, both of which I made because I heard the audio tracks and was immediately inspired by them. …
