#Modern Neuro Video Essay - Any help or idea is appreciated

Swarm, I have a preposition. This is an entire essay, but PLEASE hear me out.
I saw something in the comments of a reaction video today (call it slop if you want idc), and it made me realize that literally no one has made an overall history of neuro-sama since N3rdiness did back in May of 2023.

By all accounts, this is an amazing video. The problem is that it's outdated. When people try to find something like an introduction to Neuro, the first thing they find is an account of what Neuro was nearly 2 years ago. Since then, as you all know, she has progressed SO FAR. You'd think that someone, anyone, would make another full documentation of neuro's progress over the past few years. You'd really think so.

So here is my proposal. I decided that I will try to make a full 1+ hour documentary on neuro's full progress, from the osu days to the recent subathon, and maybe more if it takes like 5 months to make (which it probably will.) The reason I'm saying all this here instead of just making the video is that I don't think I can do it alone. I've never done a video like this before, and certainly not on this scale. With my editing skills, I don't think I could do the project justice myself in less than a year. The only relevant things I'm good at are scriptwriting and voice work, and that doesn't cut it.

Swarm, I need some volunteers. I will credit anyone who works on it within the video itself but I'm unable to do much else in my current situation.

I'll definitely need at least one editor and maybe more on standby for when the script is eventually finished, and I need a few longtime Neuro enjoyers to help me do research and make sure I don't miss anything or accidentally spread misinformation.
I also would like to maybe have an interview with vedal at some point but that's a lot less reasonable and not entirely necessary.

Updates
SCRIPT HAS STARTED (still need editor for when it's done) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hCf2fV6blUCa4nwn3BN4hSMwBPfyY_7xHX7-zHK4ZA0

#

Note: I will do anything I can to make the editing workload easier, even if I'm bad at it myself.

mild mica
#

What do you need help in gathering? I don't edit too often but I can help with that too along with collecting video stuff

tropic canyon
mild mica
#

👍

mild mica
#

we should probably "continue on" from n3rdiness's video so we don't repeat ourselves btw

Hi, if you still need help I can help you with the cutting, I'm not a pro at cutting either but I can do a few things like small graphics and overlays

I feel like the history section of the vtuber wiki page can help https://virtualyoutuber.fandom.com/wiki/Neuro-sama#History

Virtual YouTuber Wiki

Neuro-sama (ネウローサマ) is an independent English-speaking VTuber who streams on Twitch. Her most remarkable feature is that she is not a human streamer herself, but rather a complex of programs...

#

it has links to sources too

mild mica
#

yea

worn wave
#

“if there’s gonna be a video essay it should be structured like:

  • what is Neuro and what does she do
  • why people like Neuro
  • history of Neuro
  • who is Vedal and how he effects streams
  • why a human cant provide the Neuro experience”
mild mica
#

I think that structure works well but the last one should be changed more to "why Neuro is unique to any other AI/human streamer"

worn wave
#

that’s probably better

#

also i don’t think it’s realistic (or good) to go for a 1 hour essay, it might be better to aim for 30-40 minutes which is still long but removes some possible fluff

mild mica
#

I think we should make a script first

#

before we decide on length

#

that way it kind of gets us most of the way there

worn wave
#

it might be better in our favor to swap “why people like Neuro” and “history of Neuro” (assuming we use that structure) so we can transition between “why people like Neuro” and the Vedal section

#

we also need to figure out what things we’re putting as history

mild mica
#

yea

worn wave
#

the best things we should put are:

  • V2 debut
  • Evil introduction (keep it brief)
  • V3 singing voice
  • experimental intelligence upgrade #1
  • subathon
  • intelligence upgrade #2
  • loosened filters
  • iteration 18 (or 19 if we’re being specific)
  • V3 debut
  • subathon 2

then we can wrap it up by covering the possible/near future like: Neurodog, concert, and automation.

mild mica
#

hm

#

so wait are we still "continuing off" from n3rdiness' video?

worn wave
#

i was assuming we’d do our own version of the stuff he covered

mild mica
#

he pretty much only covered v1

worn wave
#

i was thinking we: recover what N3rdiness covered -> new stuff i listed

mild mica
#

ok so let's split the script into 2 parts

worn wave
#

i also don’t think we should include much Evil history and that we should keep collab partner stuff to the Vedal segment (since they mostly came from him)

mild mica
#

the recap from old vid -> new stuff as mentioned above

worn wave
#

yeah

mild mica
#

we should really put it into some document

worn wave
#

probably

#

honestly when i talk about collab partners i mean those like cerber, toma, layna, and ellie (not really a collab partner but important)

#

since dougdoug’s big it might be worth mentioning him

mild mica
#

maybe

worn wave
#

and teletriccatSUS

mild mica
#

how should I split it?

worn wave
#

yeah this basically

opal obsidian
#

Will this also go over the fandom that evolved around her or just Neuro herself

#

Also what about Evil

sleek jacinth
#

i just read that the plan is to do a 1 hour video but i think thats a bad idea since i saw a lot of people passing by long videos reactors and non

opal obsidian
worn wave
mild mica
opal obsidian
#

Ok

#

Makes it simpler

sleek jacinth
worn wave
#

no people are definitely fine with watching a longer video

#

spliting it into two parts also just seems unnecessary

tropic canyon
#

Hi

#

I see you guys had a lot of ideas

sleek jacinth
tropic canyon
#

What I was gonna do is to mention n3rdiness's video, do a basic overview of what he went over, maybe 3-5 minutes, and then go on to what happened since then

worn wave
#

that seems good

tropic canyon
#

The script structure is good

#

I think I'll make my own though, because this is going to be mostly my video.

#

The commenter setup is also a good idea

#

I'm aware of the concern of making a video "too long" for people to watch but unless it's like 3 hours people will watch it. This is the swarm we're talking about.

mild mica
#

if you can provide a script then we can work out the kinks and all that

sleek jacinth
#

i think the video should be also for tourist and trying to catch them just making it for the swarm wouldnt bring anything new

tropic canyon
mild mica
#

👍

tropic canyon
#

Maybe edit it down later for an introductory 20 minute version with less depth

#

Release both at the same time

#

There's an audience for either one

worn wave
#

Intro
what is Neuro and what does she do

Part 1
N3rdiness recap

Part 2

  • V2 debut
  • Evil introduction (keep it brief)
  • V3 singing voice
  • experimental intelligence upgrade #1
  • subathon
  • intelligence upgrade #2
  • loosened filters
  • iteration 18 (or 19 if we’re being specific)
  • V3 debut
  • subathon 2

Part 3
then we can wrap it up by covering the possible/near future like: Neurodog, concert, and automation.

Why Do People Like Neuro

  • many reasons
    Who is Vedal and how does he effect streams
  • who is Vedal
  • Vedal’s first appearance
  • how Vedal manages the channel
  • Vedal’s increased channel importance
  • how Vedal elevated smaller vtuber/befriended them
  • Staz
  • Vedal making friends and growing closer to Neuro
    Why the Neuro experience is unique
#

this is basically how i think we should structure the video

tropic canyon
#

I like to keep things more chronological personally

worn wave
sleek jacinth
#

what if the structure starts with simple blocks and then the video builds on top of those so its not too overwhelming saying too much at once would make people just forgetting everything i think

tropic canyon
#

I plan to go over pretty much everything of any significance at all, even if briefly

worn wave
#

we can just leave it to the first 4 parts: intro, parts 1-3

sleek jacinth
tropic canyon
worn wave
#

the other stuff would be good to give people better perspective though

tropic canyon
#

I will start script work when I get home in ~11 hours. Feel free to leave your ideas here while I'm gone.

hollow wadi
#

YES PLEASE MAKE THIS I'VE BEEN THINKING THE SAME THING FOR SO LONG "Why isn't there any full documentary about her??!"

#

this is much needed, i commend the efforts

#

🫡

tropic canyon
#

Btw this does not happen without at least one good editor

opal obsidian
tropic canyon

feel free to suggest things if you want

#

when the organizing part is done i'll need some help with getting exact dates, finding clips, fact-checking, etc

#

script access has been updated to commenter'

tropic canyon
#

chat what do i call section 4

normal dagger
#

No clue

tropic canyon
#

first half of 2024

normal dagger
#

How many sections do you WANT to have

tropic canyon
#

the section after will be the second half up to the subathon named the golden age of neuro or something along those lines

normal dagger
#

Lol

tropic canyon
#

and then there will be another of the subathon. it was just that crazy

normal dagger
#

Dude

#

Neuro got on news sites from that subathon

tropic canyon
#

and one either before or after that subathon about the shenanigans of the swarm

#

and the vedalverse

reef oak
#

any idea how splitting up editing will work? i can volunteer for some but schools school

tropic canyon
#

different people can edit different parts of the video or smth

#

someone else can put it together and polish it

reef oak
#

ok ill throw my name in the hat for apart of that depending on when it is then

tropic canyon
reef oak
#

uhhh is this like a chapter about the future or her friends or something?

reef oak
#

Just like notable moments in 2024?

tropic canyon
reef oak
#

2024 overview might be a good working chapter name

tropic canyon
tropic canyon
#

it doesn't matter i'll find one later

worn wave
#

when you finish coming up with the structure i can provide some history, the Vedal stuff might need to be from someone else but i know almost everything about Neuro and Evilneuro7

#

can also give some perspective as a Hiyori era fan

tropic canyon
#

having someone like you on the project is a big help

lunar bluff
#

I was thinking the exact same a few weeks ago when I saw those reaction vids, I was open someone would have made a 2024 recap before the subathon, but no lol.

#

I had a few ideas that I'm trying to remember now.

#

I think it was mostly her music in the background with, it would have started with pieces of that video.
I had an idea for how it ended but I can't remember.
I think I thought something like the DDLC song while credits roll.

lunar bluff

Hey everybody. We have more Neuro Sama by popular demand. I didn't know anything about Neuro, so going into this blind. Thanks for watching and enjoy.

Any thoughts on the script structure so far? What did I miss?

#

And should I reorder anything

worn wave
tropic canyon
#

Most of it will be chronological, but certain aspects like the "Swarm and the Vedalverse" chapter will be it's own order

#

It'll be chronological within itself but not spread across the rest of the video

worn wave
#

the voice segment should also probably be removed beyond a passing mention, voice stuff starts during Hiyori era so it might derail the video a bit to go in depth about it

#

there were also two distinct intelligence upgrades, the first one was an experimental that was used during the subathon and revealed to us a dev stream before and the second one was the version we ended up getting after the break

#

should probably also mention the streamer awards nominations since they’re pretty big

grizzled pivot
sleek jacinth
#

also i would mention ironmouse canvas bao and filian since they are big streamers and have appeared a few times

gritty reefBOT

You have unlocked new role

This video is now way more likely to be finished

rather than putting all the songs in one segment it’s better to spread them accordingly since it’s mostly chronological

tropic canyon

i just put all official cover where neuro or evil sing with a human

chinatown blue is the exception

i also did some writing about Evil’s origins but i could do some more elaborating since there’s stuff i didn’t mention

tacit knot

just popping into here to say its probably best that if you cover the ban to not go into specifics

tacit knot
# tropic canyon tos or smth?

more like its something better worth forgetting about
its something we would rather not brought up in the discord. I don't speak for vedal though, especially for stuff outside the discord.

for INSIDE the discord, it most certainly DOES break our rules. Making more than a passing mention or going into detail can bring a lot of negative attention to neuro.

#

Its something i think we all want to avoid

tropic canyon
tacit knot
#

I would requestyou do not mention the real reason, and instead go with the stated reason from twitch

if you must

as i’ve said, i might need to add some stuff here but this covers the bulk of early Evil

If you have questions for anyone that I might interview, send them in with the format below

Any question about anything at all related to neuro or vedal is on the table. Questions can be asked to anyone or everyone; I will do my best to reach out to anyone who has questions asked of them. Anyone can submit as many interview questions as they want. I need quite a few. It also doesn't matter if the question has already been answered before. Not everyone has seen every interaction these people have ever had.

For (Interviewee) - (Question)

Examples:

For Vedal - How does neuro communicate with the Minecraft ai
For Ellie - How many hours, in total, would you estimate you spent on neurodog
For Everyone - How often, if at all, do you forget that Neuro isn't a real person when you're interacting with her
