1. From a past blog post on The Advanced Apes:

    However, when the JWST (successor to the Hubble Space Telescope) is launched in 2018, we will be able to directly detect exoplanets within 25 light-years of our star system. This means that if Kopparapu and others are correct we are going to be able to see images of other earth-like planets in the 2020s.

We'll also be able to get a better understanding of what astronomers currently call the "dark ages" which is a period between the release of the cosmic microwave background radiation and the first galaxies/stars.

2. We have a audio studio recording the sound - but if this one is the best than the sound production is getting worse - because this was the first video we made!

3. Creatively I do the research/writing/storyboard - I discuss this with Lish and then she takes over - asking questions and getting some feedback throughout the animating process - but mostly she just creates her vision of what the script inspires! Then we record the audio last.

Frankly on some videos the audio effects are a bit overwhelming. I don't remember precisely but a few weeks ago I remember thinking the sounds effects were way overdone and it distracts from the main point. I'll try finding the exact clip that made me think that when I get home.
