Update Blog - 2/1/20 (Patreon)

It was quite a long wait since last time, even to the point where the questions of its return began to rise quickly. But now after all the mess from the first month of 2020, at least I can help brighten things up by concluding this January with the return of Animation Lookback (and more to come).

- Released Part 4 of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: I originally scheduled this to be released last week and have this week be The History of Escape From Planet Earth, but even with the weeks of work that I already put in the part, there had to be some touch ups to be done to make it perfect, on top of waiting for Logan to finish some of his animations for the part (which I was surprised to find that he brought in some extra help for some of the segments). But now I can happily conclude that those troubles are in the past and I can finally show everyone the long-awaited comeback of ALWDAS+. This was also a pretty big part as well as it covers the final animated features by Walt Disney himself and there's a lot to talk about for them, especially when it involves Sleeping Beauty, the creation of the Xerox process and The Jungle Book. But the biggest part I knew I had to get it perfect about all else was the tone of the ending. That was probably the first thing I edited for the part to make it as emotionally shocking to leave a very strong impact. Overall, I feel like this is one of my best parts so far (including some great surprises from Logan's animations) and the wait to have this come out is worth it. I can happily say that Animation Lookback is back for 2020!

- Writing & Recording the next part of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +:  Now with Part 4 officially out and people are now more familiar with what's to come, I can say right now that what I am working on right now is indeed Part 5, featuring Disney's animated films of the 1970s. The progress on that so far is that I good amount of the production done, including finishing off the entire script and did all the recordings I needed. All that remains for me to do next week is to put it all together in editing. Although, I will say a little funny story with this is that, while I was researching and planning for which movies to talk about, I somehow forgot about Winnie the Pooh, which is one of Disney's biggest franchises and took me 2 days for both researching and writing that segment alone. So this is a little heads up to say that Pooh will take a good amount of the next part. With what I've done, it's looking good so far and I can guarantee that you won't have to wait as long for this one like you did for Part 4.

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $25+/MONTH: I will have my first episode of the Super Secret Patreon Exclusive Q&A Show ready and released for Monday the 13th. If you have a question you'd like me to answer for the show, message me and mention that it's for the Secret Q&A Show.

- REMINDER FOR PATRONS $50+/MONTH: This month's Discord Chat will be happening on Thursday the 6th, and Sunday the 9th and both at 2pm EST. Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.

So that was my week of ALWDAS+, both in terms of releasing this week's video and working on the next one. I feel like after this month, I finally got my videos and their schedule back on track to promise people that I will have some awesome things to look forward to. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
