Update Blog - 10/5/19 (Patreon)

It's very rare that this happens, but I get to give you all a very special Update Blog on my birthday!!! I've still got plenty of things to tell you regarding what I've done this week, so before I start off my spectacularl weekend, let's talk about what I've been up to.

- Released my review of Toy Story: Since I've went through all the sequels (two of which I've reviews this year), it's pretty much inevitable now that I get to take a look at the one that started it all for computer animation. It's honestly been quite a while since I saw the first one, but watching it now, especially after recently going through all the sequels, I have nothing but admiration for this movie, and this is not to mention its impact in our modern culture and in animation history. While the animation may seem dated by today's standards, it's the story and the well-crafted characters that make this movie feel beautifully timeless. But it's not just the major historical significance that made it so legendary, but it's just really good and a lot of fun to watch. Need a good time? Just pop in Toy Story and you're all set! And the best part is that nowadays, you got options! 1, 2, 3, 4, you can't go wrong with any of them! What better way to start this month off with something that's as monumental as this? Unfortunately though, I don't think I can say the same for next month, since I'm gonna be reviewing Ice Age: The Meltdown. I'm not immediately saying that this is gonna suck, but...it sure ain't no Toy Story.

- Released my Thank You vlog with my Silver Creator Award: The timing could not be more perfect than this. Just yesterday, I got my Silver Creator Award in the mail and it completely set me up for something I've wanted to do since the milestone finally happened: Make my thank you speech. Admittedly, the award is smaller than I expected, but I do feel like it looks way better than the previous one that they distributed before. I've gotten a few people and groups I wanted to shout out for this (including you, the patrons), so now I feel satisfied about how all these 100K festivities all fall into place in time for my birthday and close to the channel's 10th anniversary. All I need is my verification badge and then I should be all set. Now the only thing to figure out is where to put my award :P In case you haven't seen it yet, you can check it out right here. 

- Finished Editing AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios + Part 2: With the finishing touches and revisions in place, I can happily say that I've finished my job with Part 2. Considering that this include some of the 1940s films, there were some parts that were honestly tough in terms of finding the right clips to present what I'm talking about. I even had to make some change of plans and re-edit some scenes because some clips are pretty much mythological where not even the Internet can help me find it. It can be a bit demotivating when I can't have it go as planned, but I still persisted and keep going to make it in the best shape that it can be and I think the final result looks great to present the first of Disney's dark ages. Now with this part done, I can move on to working on some smaller videos.

- Preparing for a couple of Reviews for next week: I'll say right now that I will be taking a break this weekend to do plenty of parties for my birthday with family and friends. However, before getting into that and while I had some time after finishing the 2nd part of AL: WDAS+, I prepared some of the upcoming reviews I'll be working on. I didn't watch anything yet, but all I've done was write the introductions and collect all the files and clips I so far need to make them, so once I jump into 'em, a good chunk of the work will be already done where I don't have to scavenge for materials and all I have to do is create the reviews. I think the timing will work out great where I'll have my weekend break and then I'll jump back to work feeling more refreshed than ever!

I know I've already said this plenty of times right now, but once again, thank you all so much for the years of support and let's all use this energy to make my videos better than ever! Oh, and one more thing. Even though today is my birthday, I left you a little surprise on my Patreon. Go see it for yourself. I'm sure you'll like it ;) So thank you so much again and until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
