April update (new video very soon!)
Added 2020-04-26 04:09:20 +0000 UTCOkay, so, lots of stuff behind the scenes to talk about, or at the very least prep you for what's coming. Let's get to it-
- I dragged my feet a lot on the next video because I wasn't happy with the writing, but tried my best to push the project to completion. I have a finished draft of the project and I want to try my best to get it out before the month is over, which I can't guarantee as I feel like there's still some slight voice/writing tweaks I want to make, but I'm hoping they're not extensive and I can stay on track (otherwise it'll be two videos next month.) If you're interested, it's a video about a certain monster movie revival.
- I have a draft of the Saul/El Camino video nearly done, now that Saul has ended season 5. This is going to be a very different video because it's not a beyond pictures or a beyond words, more of a general thoughts piece. Plan is to see if that could be a more regular thing, potentially also for patrons. Guess we'll have to see what happens.
- Polished a third draft on a popular video game series and finished a first draft on a less popular video game series. Still some footage to get for them, but should be done with that relatively soon.
- After many drafts, finally made one for a Spider-man movie video I kinda-sorta like. May change it yet again but I think all the points I want to make are in there, i'm trying to not let it be terribly long because I really don't want to waste anyone's time, nor dwell on it needlessly. The challenge is great because it's forcing me to make my thoughts as clear and tightly articulated as possible, so I hope that will be a net benefit.
- I eased off on the comic book retrospective to focus on these short term projects, and am glad I did. Looking forward to going back to that with fresh eyes and tighten it up, especially with other projects already so far along in the pipeline.
- In all the drafting, I still haven't gotten that sodding Q and A edited. It's not even a hard job! I let this next, relatively simple video get the better of me for a hot minute there, and felt like I needed to make sure I had enough good videos in the pipeline for definite before focusing on stuff like the Beyond Words. You should be seeing a bit more of me now this next video is looking spicy.
So, lots of videos on the way, and once I've got the last couple of those close to editing, i'll start looking at the next batch of ideas, had a lot of things both old and new come to mind while drafting. Trying to think of ways to, as Mick Gordon puts it, change my process to change my outcome, get better videos done more frequently and maybe better rewards for you guys if possible. Thank you again for your support and patience, especially with YouTube ad rates down hard during covid, and do let me know what you think of the new video once it's up!
