Hello wonderful person! This video may look a bit different and there's a reason for it: I'm not in my studio right now because...it got flooded and I lost a bunch of equipment So instead of sulking about it I decided to take my son for a short trip and record videos on the go I'll try to improve the quality a bit as I'm testing different lapel mics, but hopefully it won't be too bad Stay wonderful and more exciting videos soon!

Respect Anton. A child, a flood, a wrecked studio and work down the drain while hundreds of thousands of subs expect their science content. You the man! Hope it gets sorted.

We were never here for the production quality, it was only ever just a bonus. Thanks for not letting this stop you!!!!!

Don't worry Anton you could use 2 tin cans and a string to record your videos and we would all still watch. Sorry to hear about the loss of your equipment and recordings but either way we will all be here to watch your content, Take care wonderful person!

Everything looks and sounds fine, Anton. I am sorry to hear about the flooding but I am glad it was “just” hardware. I’m sure you’ll be back to normal before you know it. Take care and God bless.

I get sad often and don't feel like I'm a wonderful person, but when you say it, it makes me want to be better. Thank you for what you do Anton, you are truly a wonderful person.

Your camera is so clear. I’m not used to seeing you like this. It’s uncanney.
