I recall saying I'd probably put something together resembling a slate for the year around this time; just had a week where I was able to plan for other videos and such so I did organize some ideas together. Based this off a template put together by animator Kevin Parry; pretty simple framework: you split projects up by 1. how long it'll take you to make and 2. who it'll appeal to. Some of these could lean into either category but I did my best to place 'em well.
In my head, I paired up Q1 and Q2 since the former's almost over and the latter's reliant on some carryover and maybe catching up on some current topics. Q3 is obviously stacked; those are things I know I could knock out fairly easily, either because I've already been plugging away at them for a minute or because of techniques I've picked up the past couple of months. I'll probably start releasing those in July. Q4 are the big doc type stuff I've been too intimidated to finish when i wanted to lol There's only like two ideas from that quadrant I haven't outlined in any sense.
Left a spot for PaF content that was always planned to go there but might be expanded a bit. I didn't wanna abandon the fun ideas I came up with so Imma just wait to do 'em in the summer. Obligatory video about the revival incoming post 5hr doc. By merit of getting everything out on the mark, I've failed spectacularly, but I think I've finally been able to tap back into peak content brain. I've been feeling whatever force allowed me to upload like I did in 2020 and early '21, so I'm thinking it'll come in handy moreso in the summer. The last couple videos especially I've been able to break down a couple barriers and make stuff I was proud of technically and conceptually while not succumbing to a suffocating production timeline. Even with the stagnation I've been in, realizing that I make stuff that I 100% would've wanted to watch all along is a huge weight off my shoulders.
Plan rn for the current stuff is to get through S4 and break until the five hour doc is done. I do wanna do the character analyses next week and maybe one or two more episode reviews since I've sitting on some audio. Otherwise my focus is on the season ranks so I can drop a master cut. I don't wanna seriously work on anything else until I can do that at least. S2 is 2/3rds of the way there. S3 is in editing too. S4... soonish I hope. For summer, the ratio of Phineas stuff to everything else should be 1:1. That's it for now. I recognize I'm not great at Patreon; I've always been quick to switch work on ideas, concepts, etc or put stuff down for a while if I get into something else. That's part of the reason why the rewards aren't super reliant on me producing specifically for this platform. I do appreciate y'all being patient w/ me; most of y'all pledging already know me personally and were likely getting some idea of what I was up to independent of what I put up here. Nevertheless, I'm keeping whoever's here in the loop.
