How the US sank the worlds largest battleship

Hey,

Last year I stopped posting because I wasn't happy, I wanted to put more effort into videos but realised that over-engineering DayZ was actually making the videos worse.

The next video will be DayZ but am just playing the game now, as I originally did, without trying to make some epic adventure. Am recording on the Frankies Hideout server that DayZ Aftermath are hosting. It’s geared for recording but has a good admin team behind it, a great mod-set and sticking around could be worthwhile as it will likely be whitelisted for regular players in the future.

Anyway! To solve the unhappiness, I figured I would put a lot of effort into a War Stories video because effort into those kinda just enhances them. Problem was, last year I knew no 3D and I knew that I wouldn't be able to show what I wanted to show without an OK knowledge. A few photos over gaming footage wasn't going to cut it.

I could see that it was going to be a lot of work and that there was no way I could do learn it at the same time as posting content - It turned out to be a ridiculous amount of work. A lot of this video was made with Unreal Engine / Houdini and Houdini for me had a really hard learning curve.

BUT! I have an OK knowledge now, and am looking for people to help who have skills in:

Thumbnail Design (matte painting, compositing and 3D knowledge as well as 2D photoshop skills) - After Effects Animation (of the style in the video) - 3D Scene Setup / Lookdev (doesn’t matter if you use Blender, Maya, C4D Octane etc.) - Project Management - Assistant Editing (Premiere Pro)

Hopefully this should let me focus on getting DayZ content and writing / storyboarding the next Story videos. Send me an email if you have Degree level knowledge of the above (portfolio essential), have initiative, are organised and always hit deadlines.

Will be posting at a rate am able to finish things now. Sometimes it appears stuff isn’t being done, but I wasn’t happy with things before and feel can get a nice blend of quality Story videos and gaming content now.

Thanks for sticking around, I do appreciate it, because it is strangely very stressful not posting! Catch you in the next video!

Frankie

If Frankie starts making some consistent history videos, I’m ALL for it!

This, this is the greatest type of content I will ever gorge myself in, let's plays and gameplay videos have burnt out on, but History? Man, history will never get old to learn about. The mistakes of our past haunt our futures and the mistakes we made must never happen again or may God have mercy on us all.

Great content man, it's good to see you back in action. We've definitely missed you.

Frankie is literally a pillar of my childhood it makes me so happy to see him again

When the world needed him most, he returned.

As a 23 year old man later this month, I am quite proud to say that you are a Hero of my childhood Frankie, thank you for everything your gilded hands and voice produce for us.

The Japanese naval officer corps sent the Yamato to die, they knew the war was over and they didn't want it to fall into Allied hands. Removing the CAP was a tell, the cruiser that developed "engine trouble" was along to make sure the captain did as he was ordered because he knew they were sending the Yamato to die. All of this was discovered after the surrender and is being taught at Annapolis.

I have been thinking about your channel for the last 6 months or so, missing your content and the nostalgia it brings me to rewatch your old videos. They brough me a lot of joy during some hard times. Im very glad to see you back, Frankie!! I hope youre feeling better now and making content that YOU enjoy furthers that happiness.

NOTHING in this world gives me more nostalgia than hearing Frankies voice... I'm so glad you're still with us mate, genuinely so happy I saw this upload! Keep being awesome, as always mate!

And the legend has returned ❤

Oh my goodness, just hearing your voice brings back so many memories from when I was younger. I used to love watching your adventures! I'm turning 25 tomorrow, I remember watching your videos when I was still in high school. Good times!

This is the best video regarding the sinking of Yamato I've ever seen. Great detail, and humor! Thanks so much for making this.

Every time Frankie randomly reappears after a long hiatus I have the best nostalgia flashbacks and get excited for whatever content he chooses to post

Dude, WOW. The graphic production on this is genuinely insane. The passion’s evident.

Frankie, from the bottom of my heart, this was one of your most excellent videos. I have watched you since Arma 2 and I don’t care what kind of videos you make. Your effort is astonishing, and I wish you nothing but happiness in your journey as you continue to make videos (hopefully😀)

I think this is the most comprehensive video I have ever seen on Yamato and her last battle. Thank you for creating this.

Frankie there is no one else like you. You hit that nostalgia button that no other youtuber can. Glad you're doing better. We're here for you!

When a creator makes a video that they’re truely invested in it shows. I’m glad you’ve decided to go in a direction that makes you happy Frankie ❤

Wow, wasn’t expecting this from you, Frank. This was excellent. Would love more like this.

Frankie this is one of the best documentary videos ive ever seen on youtube. incredibly well done, i didnt expect a video like this from you but bloody hell was it good!!! please make more like this one!!!!
