Dien Bien Phu, Revisiting Operation Pedestal - Upcoming Videos!
🕑 Added 2024-02-14 15:23:55 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
Hope 2024 is treating you all well. Here's some quick updates on the videos that will be coming out over the next couple of months
Vietnam Series Episode 3: Dien Bien Phu
This video was originally slated for last autumn, but I postponed work on it after the first two videos in the series performed poorly. I wasn't of a mind to leave the series unfinished, so have been working on it in the background recently, and we're now into the animation stage.
We've been working on some upgraded visuals for this battle, really trying to drive up the quality on our coverage of land battles as well as the naval ones.
The exact release date on this video is still TBD, but I anticipate that it will be sometime in March.
Operation Pedestal
In recent months we've done a few videos covering events that did appear in previous (very old) historigraph videos, giving them a fresh coat of paint and bringing the animation up to our modern standard.
The next video I wanted to look at for this is Operation Pedestal, about the August 1942 convoy to Malta that fought its way through at all costs.
Here's the original historigraph video on the topic: https://youtu.be/0inR2jRW_P8
What struck me though was that at just 9 mins 43 seconds I didnt think that original video really did the event justice, so have embarked on a pretty comphrensive research and scriptwriting process, with the aim of writing a much fuller account of this remarkable battle.
This will be possibly two vidoes, with a release date probably in April, and I'll have more to share on this once we get into animation stages.

Such a shame the Vietnam series didn’t perform as well as hoped. For many, including myself, there is a blank spot in the history of Vietnam between the end of WW2 to the begin of the Vietnam war. Looking forward to part 3.
