Looking to revamp Patreon - What would you like?
Added 2022-10-02 09:46:54 +0000 UTCHi friends. I'm looking to relaunch the Patreon with some new offerings and I thought I'd ask those of you who have been here supporting the channel what types of things you'd be most interested in? Let me know and I'll keep you posted, really excited about this!

I would recommend Boone Loves Video on YouTube. He also has a Patreon.

2022-10-28 16:35:43 +0000 UTCI'd love to see a video on your research process.

2022-10-27 21:45:40 +0000 UTCWhere it would be the best place to learn animating maps with Geolayers? I recently bought the plugin but I didn't find a full course on that or full tutorial from beginner to advance. Any advices would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Alex
2022-10-18 17:36:58 +0000 UTCI would echo what Taylor said above. Learning opportunities about your process would b much appreciated.

2022-10-14 16:43:29 +0000 UTCI would definitely love to see at least one in depth video on how one of you goabout editing your videos…finding music, SFX, b-roll (like how you find historical footage and news clips, etc.) and animation choices.

2022-10-11 18:27:59 +0000 UTCI’d love to see how the process for thumbnailing and coming up with titles goes. For instance: when / based on what do you decide if thumb + title = good?

2022-10-11 06:07:30 +0000 UTCA few ideas on how to add more value to this Patreon group: Monthly Q&A videos are a super easy one for you. Debrief after each video — directors commentary type of thing. Any BTS content would be great: - Video topic selection - narrative / choosing an angle for the story - pieces of the project that didn't make it - how you collaborate with your team My #1 request would be that I'd LOVE some sort of masterclass on scriptwriting (or maybe that'll be your next bright trip class 🤞)

2022-10-09 11:03:56 +0000 UTCI wonder if there are English subtitles in the Visual Storytelling class. I asked a question by e-mail a long time ago, but I didn't Korean subtitles will be difficult for the new content, but I hope English subtitles will be included. I want to know the timeline of after effect. I think I can get motivation and inspiration from seeing many layers piled up. I wonder how to get old news videos, videos, and photos.

2022-10-08 05:40:22 +0000 UTCFor BTS, I’m more interested in systems and methods and collaboration than “how to animate” stuff. Vlogs like “Here’s how we capture ideas” and “Here’s us debating on what idea makes it through” and “Here’s what my deep work blocks look like”. Also love the idea of “raffling” something from the video off to Patreon. Also like the idea of a team reaction or debrief video and extended cuts

Ryan Shields
2022-10-04 14:50:04 +0000 UTCExtended interviews are great - I would prefer it be a little edited though. Maybe a special version on "why some topic get thrown out in the making process" or "topics that got in but get really debated for the team." (for higher paying Patreon, not me...)

2022-10-04 05:12:18 +0000 UTCBiggest thing for me is BTS and process vids. What does research look like? How do you distill information into interesting story? How do you edit script or validate ideas? on so on
Chad Barnier
2022-10-03 23:06:12 +0000 UTCAfter each video, I'd love just an unstructured debrief with you & the teammates who helped drive it. How did you choose what narrative to focus on? Were their any parts you ended up cutting & why? What were some of your thoughts behind creative choices? As a fellow video maker, these are the sorts of things that make up great work, but that I rarely get a glimpse into outside of my own personal process.
David Mora
2022-10-03 17:27:42 +0000 UTCOh I like that idea of long unedited interviews! Also: I don't mind paying for an adfree version of the video you post on YouTube. Depending on the price of course.
Randy
2022-10-03 15:44:21 +0000 UTCMore map animation!! Or maybe a behind the scenes on your latest Ukraine video, how the maps were compiled and how the animation of a war timeline in maps was made
TheReal Mark
2022-10-03 13:07:58 +0000 UTC- Maybe add polls here where we can vote on the next idea - We already see the video on YouTube, and you send us the structure here already. How about film or start sending us the process of how you come up with the ideas and the research you do? - Behind the scenes of working on an idea. So we don't only see the end product (The structure and the video on YouTube) - but rather the research, the phone calls... - Discount for an online workshop on video journalism that happens once or twice a year
Ahmad
2022-10-03 07:32:04 +0000 UTCthese are GREAT ideas - I love the idea of sending something from a video!

2022-10-02 20:31:29 +0000 UTCI think the best Patreon-ers are the ones that create a sense of community around it. My proposal: you already have a community built around YouTube/Instagram/etc. Treat Patreon as an inner circle where you can go for advice (or at least describe it that way publicly). Where you might do a poll on Instagram, also post here and ask. Then in the video, "I asked my community on Patreon, and they wanted to know more about...". Give the sense that this is somewhere to be involved in the channel (even if it's superficial). Or take a page from the Brady Haran playbook: send us random crap. At the end of a video "I'm going to randomly choose one of my patrons on Patreon and this map is going in the mail to them" (if you can bear to part with it). Or post extended cuts, or segments that got cut for time. Consider a Q&A with the people we don't see: editors and researchers. Screen capture the animation process and post a timelapse.

I would pay more money to enter side by side with you on how you drew your conclusion. -You could possibly create a Discord Server for a central location to Communicate with members

2022-10-02 18:49:53 +0000 UTCthat's a great idea!
Johnny Harris
2022-10-02 18:20:01 +0000 UTCQ&A videos where only Patreon subscribers can submit the questions. This would create a great feedback loop because in each video you get to plug the Patreon subscription.
Simon Owens
2022-10-02 18:03:32 +0000 UTCYes, sounds good!
Sophia
2022-10-02 17:39:56 +0000 UTCThinking of some bts vlogs that would showcase our process and the team - someting like that?
Johnny Harris
2022-10-02 16:29:20 +0000 UTCgreat idea!
Johnny Harris
2022-10-02 16:28:59 +0000 UTCWe're working on translating now! :)
Johnny Harris
2022-10-02 16:28:37 +0000 UTCBehind the scenes. Show us how you make the videos.
Stuart Shaffer
2022-10-02 15:40:31 +0000 UTCI would love to get to know your team. What does Tom Fox look like? Who are the other people working closely with you? Short introduction videos would be nice!
Sophia
2022-10-02 15:30:14 +0000 UTCTo flesh out @Babak's suggestion, if you made a post here every time you uploaded a video, we'd have a place to comment on it. Easy peasy.
Peter Sturdee
2022-10-02 15:23:03 +0000 UTCI'll second the long form content idea! Especially the long un(or lightly)edited interviews.
Craig Albert
2022-10-02 14:14:15 +0000 UTCA Q&A podcast. You take a few questions and shoot from the hip and answer them. Easy to produce and you already have an outline for content. I’d be interested in your your thought process on life, work and creativity as well as where you’re headed.
Andrew Dawson
2022-10-02 13:49:50 +0000 UTCAlso, translating ur videos and Bright Trip courses to Arabic will expand ur audience as well
Ezat
2022-10-02 13:25:25 +0000 UTCGreat 👏🏽 But answering the DM very important too. I’ve send a message two months ago with an idea but i didn’t get any answer.
Ezat
2022-10-02 13:21:55 +0000 UTCScreen shares of the animation process in Adobe After Effects. Like you did when you launched this patreon.
Maxim Horssels
2022-10-02 12:33:03 +0000 UTCInteresting! I'll think on this, thanks for sharing
Johnny Harris
2022-10-02 11:35:03 +0000 UTCPersonally, I would like to see some sort of Q&A here, for example, we can suggest some topics or give you feedback/criticize things that we see in your reports, personally I gave up writing comments on youtube because it's like a black hole and 99% it won't be seen by the person that I wanted, so it would be great to use this platform in a way that I/we can share our honest feedback after a video/report is released
Babak
2022-10-02 10:53:48 +0000 UTCYes. There are sometimes only snippets of interviews in the videos, but one can hear the expertise of your partner and would like to learn more of them. Edit: Uploading uncut interviews wouldn't be so much extra work for you and we could benefit from it a lot👍
Matthias
2022-10-02 10:01:22 +0000 UTCAh interesting - would extended interviews be along those lines?
Johnny Harris
2022-10-02 09:58:13 +0000 UTCI'd like to see further investigations or information which may got cut out of the episodes for the sake of the length of the video
