Evil Chemist Tries to Kill His Neighbors

This is the pilot episode of a new series we're trying out where we dramatize some of the true stories I've been telling.
This is a dramatization of the true story where Tampa Florida chemist Xuming Li tries to poison his upstairs neighbor Umar Abdullah.
If you like this pilot episode, we can make these in addition to my daily short-form illustrated videos. These dramatizations are not a replacement for my normal daily videos. I REPEAT: These dramatizations are NOT a replacement for my normal daily videos. They are in addition to them.

I had a noisy upstairs neighbor who I did speak with about the situation. They allowed their kid to ride a tricycle on hardwood floors in the condo after “quiet time” (9PM).

[@hunghillary]

Opinion time of someone not very qualified to give it: I love this! This is solidly entertaining. It's a really cool spin on the way you tell stories. It's not too long, not too short. It's captivating. It's a story I've heard already from you, yet I still had to watch the whole thing. Only criticisms are that it feels a little clunky. Probably because it's a new project. Pilots are always a little rough around the edges. I'm not sure if it's the pacing? Going from dramatic and dreary tones and then to your animated and lighthearted narrations? Either way, I think this is awesome and I hope you continue tweaking the formula and growing the series!
