In 2022, the author posted a video titled “Recreating the Netflix intro with $30 worth of yarn,” which gained over 50 million views and caught the attention of Netflix and David Fincher. However, the author admits that the video was mostly a lie. The timelapse of animating and the end result were both fake, and the cost of the yarn was also exaggerated. The author originally intended to create the video using stop-motion animation but quickly realized it was too difficult and opted to fake it digitally on the computer instead. They justify this decision as problem-solving and being flexible in the face of challenges. The author reflects on the importance of honesty and not manipulating the audience for views.
