Update Blog - 8/17/19 (Patreon)

When life gives you an opportunity that can make things beneficial for you, you can afford making some slight changes to your plans. I thought this month's big movie review will be for next week, but its weird schedule release made it so that this Friday was more of a special surprise. 

- Released my review of The Angry Birds Movie 2: I don't know what made this week so different or why Sony decided to schedule this in the middle of the month instead of Friday like every other movie, but it ended up where I found a screening on Tuesday and decided to go with it. It gave me enough time to make my review and have it be ready for not just Friday, but also for the Patreon preview on Wednesday. Kinda weird, but hey, at least it got me to release my review earlier than planned. Anyways, back onto the movie, some people say that this movie is better than the original. For me, I say...maybe, but for the most part, it's about the same as the first. However, keep in mind that I feel like the first movie was okay with some funny moments and loved the animation. Same goes with here. Yea, it's got weak writing, but it did entertain me at some point and for the kind of movie it is, I don't think I could ask for more than that. I mean, it's the second Angry Birds movie. This could've easily fallen in the same pit as movies like Ice Age and Hotel Transylvania did, but this one narrowly escapes it, so it could've been much worse. But what made all this worth it for me was the short Hair Love. If you have to go see the movie on the big screen, then at least do so to see the short. They may have only distribute it in the same style as the MCU Spider-Man films, but it's easily one of the best things under the Sony Animation banner.

- Recording, Filming & Editing AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: This is gonna get a lot bigger than I thought. In the Summer Vlog, I stated that I will not make a part of this series over an hour. Well it looks like that vow has to make me change things up with how things will be sorted out. It took me an entire day to record all the voiceovers, filmed all the parts that had me on-camera and make sure I can edit them just right to make things perfect. So with all that done, it now gives mea good idea of the approximation of the length of the first part. Originally, Part 1 would've covered all of "Disney's Golden Age of Animation" from the beginning to Bambi, but that's already too much. I have to cut out some parts in order to keep the length less than an hour. Now the running time could be around 45 minutes or even 50! As for the editing, I've so far only taken care of the opening and soon will go into the actual history aspect. It's taken me longer than I thought, but this is where I have to have my perfectionism to good use to make this among my best videos. There's still a lot of work ahead of me, but I can't wait to get into it!

 - REMINDER FOR PATRONS $50+/MONTH: This month's Discord Chat will be happening on Sunday the 18th and at 2pm EST. Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.

So now that I got that movie out of the way, next week will be when things will go back on schedule...unless another animated film wants to pull off another weird surprise. Nah, that ain't gonna happen,...will it? Anyways, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
