I had to cancel the course (Patreon)

Hey gang,
Behind the scenes, things weren't going too hot for the course. It was just too many hours filmed to really edit, and the footage had issues like weird noise, shakiness, etc that we thought we could deal with because we've done it before, but not on this scale.
Creating a 25h+ thing is different from a 20min thing in terms of editing. Programs crashed a lot. Renders take hours, and when they go wrong, they take the same amount of hours again. Computers crash more when handling big files.
I want to let this experience and disappointment sink in, and come back to making a course at a later date. If this did anything, it was giving me a crash course in how to make a course, and how not to lol.
Sorry about this, those of you who looked forward to it. I spend about a month of my own time on it too, and stressed out about it a lot haha. Too bad.
When i approach it again, I have to make sure to go by the KISS rule (Keep It Simple Stupid) a lot more. Don't count on fixing shaky cameras in post - put the cameras on proper stands. Don't film obscene amounts of footage, even if it's full of good nuggets.
Etc etc etc
Anyway, I hope you all are well. I'm looking over catching up on all the stuff I had to put to the side while working on the course lmao. Music video is still in the works, as is other stuff. I'm actually feeling quite good about letting this monster project go, even though it was a LOT of wasted time I learned a ton :)
Hope the start of your weeks are better than mine haha!
