So, where did your generosity go this year? (Also, THANK YOU!) (Patreon)

Hi everyone, and thanks once again for your continued love and support throughout this horrid year of uploads from my channel. Whether it be the kids catching COVID, the PC problems, anything else - you've always been here, and that blows my mind. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope you enjoyed the final video of the year - I wanted to make it my absolute best yet, and by the response, I think the general viewers agree with my own sentiments!

Anyway, this post is going to be a huge compendium of video-related production costs that you have all helped fund throughout the year. I've already done a post like this earlier in the year around the time the PC was breaking - but having a more in-depth look at exactly what you have all invested into with my channel for the WHOLE YEAR I thought would've been a better indication on how much you've all helped, and how much your support means to me. As I've stated before - all Patreon funds are kept in a separate account for me so I know exactly what I can use soleley for video production - and with all your generosity, from the start of 2021 until the end, this is what your incredible kindness has helped create.

• 1x High-end gaming PC for streams ONLY (not including the costs related to everything breaking!!!)• 1x Upgraded office PC for smoother/quicker editing• 1x Video effect plugins and transitions for Vegas Pro• 1x Paying my incredible animator to make the 'I'm Sorry' storytime video• 1x Paying my other incredible animator for the newest version of my video intro• 3x New IIYAMA monitors• 1x LG Monitor for Cerys' new office space while making Patreon-only videos• 1x Logitech 2.1 speaker system for Cerys' office space• 1x Portable outdoor pop-up green screen (useful for car window shots and things)• 1x Total conversion of my garage into a sound-proof green screen recording space (including small foam egg box panels, plasterboard, heating, new power outlets etc)• 1x Giant green screen with installation costs• 4x Upgraded green screen lights (they were from Amazon, not sure what the brand are!)• 2x Kinoflo Diva-Lite 31 LED lights for indoor camera work• 1x Westcott Ice Light 2 for portable camera lighting• 3x Shure MV7 microphones for stream guests/live recordings for appearing on other channels• 1x Elgato Wave 3 microphone for solo streams• 3x Rode NGT3-B microphones for camera work/VO• 6x Weighted microphone stands with counter-weights• 4x Replacement pop filters and shock mounts that snapped• 4x Acoustic panels for my office VO space and green screen sound dampening• 1x Retrotink 5X upscaler to replace my old OSSC• 1x GOXLR Pro mixer for streams• 1x RME Madiface Pro mixer for VO• 1x Replacement 1080p 60fps webcame from Logitech• 1x Sony A7 MKIV DSLR camera (preordered)• 100+x Props/makeup (mostly blood) and costumes for the jokes that need them, along with storage needed to keep them all• 100+x Hours of work for Olly to man the camera during every video• 50+x Games that I've needed to buy in order to point and laugh at them in videos• 4x Paying staff at Beefy Boys restaurant for appearing in my Jesus video (yes, they knew I was coming - they just weren't aware of what I was going to say or do!!)• 1x Paying an artist friend of mine to redesign my entire merch collection (it isn't ready yet, but the bulk is done!)• Tonnes of memory storage items, whether it be SD cards, micro SD converters, USB flash drives (including a stupidly good 512gb one I'm using all the time now!), etc• Countless cables for countless reasons. Audio, microphones, HDMI, component, extensions, USB, the lot• 1x 4tb 64gbRAM M1 Max chip Apple MacBook Pro 16'', with 1x magic mouse, 1x magic keyboard, 1x Thunderbolt 4 docking hub and 2x thunderbolt 4 monitors (preordered). These are actually the most recent costs to the videos I've made so far, and I decided to finally dip into the world of Mac specifically for video editing - since Vegas Pro has been nothing but miserable for me recently with getting videos finished on time. Crashing, lagging, breaking, corrupting, the lot. If there was a main cause of reasons for my 12pm-8am work days sometimes (especially the final 4 days of the Jesus Games video), it's dealing with Vegas issues. So yes - going into 2022 - I'm changing over to an extremely powerful Mac system with Final Cut Pro, which I've heard runs unbelievably quickly, and should make video creation an absolute breeze......once I get around to finally learning Final Cut Pro, of course.

And there you have it. This is what your incredible contributions has helped fund over the entire year - not including everything else from the year before - and I'm absolutely certain there's a million other little things I'm missing. I didn't count things like consoles/controllers/accessories etc, since even though used for business, I also do like playing with those things in my spare time (whenever I have it!!). I really can't thank you all enough for what you've allowed me to experiment with on my videos, and if you've enjoyed any of the videos this year, please know that it's due to YOU that they were all possible. I feel like I'm getting gradually better and more comfortable to do whatever I want with every video that comes out, and I hope you agree with how I feel on that front. Thank you. Happy Holidays. I don't know what else to say. You all fucking rock. Love ya. Have an incredible end to the year, and I hope you enjoy what I have planned for February 2022 onwards!
