Patron Update: Animating the Battle for Trondheim
🕑 Added 2018-09-14 15:09:47 +0000 UTC Hello all,Hope everyone's Friday is going well. Just a quick(ish) update on what I am currently working on.
As mentioned last week, I am doing two final videos on Norway 1940, and then I might try and stitch together a 'Full Series' video once its all done. The first of these is focusing on the battles in central Norway, which were targeted at gaining control of Trondheim, for both sides. This video is now well into its animation stage, and I'm anticipating a release next week (Monday-Friday). How far into next week it ends up being will depend on how smoothly the final stages go.
Looking beyond this video and the Siege of Narvik concluding episode, I am currently developing a script on the Maginot Line. You probably know that one of the most enduring cultural tropes about WW2 is that the Maginot line was a useless white elephant. I am not sure I agree, so that's what the video will get stuck into. Not sure when it's likely to come to fruition- it might be as a 'bonus' video of sorts in between the two Norway videos.
If anyone has any books on the maginot they think I should read, do let me know. So far Lloyd Clark's Blitzkrieg and Horne's To Lose a War are forming the backbone of my research.
Thanks for your ongoing support, I love you all.
Josh
