Update Blog - 5/2/20 (Patreon)

Wow, we already went through an entire month of this pandemic. Really goes to show how time flies when you don't notice it. The good news is that this could mean this whole thing could possibly end quicker than we'd expect (at least, if we still have the capability of thinking optimistically). Anyways, I felt quite good with my work this week and manage to do a lot, even some surprises that's been a long time since I've done one of those!

- Released my new Editorial on The History of Cats (2019): It had been months since it bombed at the box office and months since this idea was on my mind. It's the true reason why I went and watched the movie and bought the Blu-ray (which was surprisingly quite helpful for making this video) and for me personally, I think I'm quite satisfied with the result. I've had some fun unique ideas I wanted to try out with this as well like opening up with a musical number, but this also came with a few challenges. While I remember I did a poll on social media regarding future Editorials a while ago (this got the most votes), I tried hard to have this be different from Lindsay Ellis' recent video that discussed the same subject. Admittedly, I did even use the video as one of my sources, but I did my best in order to deliver my own unique spin to the story. Guess I've built up a lot of anticipation in my head about this project because I always love doing these History Editorials, but now that it's officially out in the world, I hope people do enjoy it and that this can be a nice additional piece to the discussion about this Cats movie.

- Created some new AniMat's Classic Reviews: What's probably the main thing I've done with my job this week was making some new ACRs for the future, and a good thing too because the next one is coming next week! It's been interesting to go back and reviewing a couple of movies because the two I looked at are vastly different from each other, both in terms of style and quality. I won't say which is which, but they're both surprises where one was more of a downer than it should and had little to do in the first place, while the other I find to be shockingly good. Absolutely not great, but it's like it's better than it should debatably be. At least I am glad that they are done and got those out of my system because the next video I'll have to work on won't be on for another few weeks, so I don't have to worry about looming deadlines anymore.

- Created a new AniMat Interviews: Here's something I haven't done in a long time! Before, the people I've interviewed were mainly for projects and documentaries that I had to promote their crowdfunding campaign. This one will be a little bit different. I've always wanted to do this with my channel, but I'm gonna be promoting an animated project that will be premiering very soon. I won't say who it is or what the project is just yet, but I will say that the interview was a lot of fun and it's the kind of content I hope I can make more of with bigger projects or even major animated features because that would be epic! Anyways, this one will be coming out next week and I hope this will be a signal for studios that I can offer a service that can be quite useful for them!

Well, that's been my week and how I concluded April. I know many will have major mixed feelings about that month in particular, but let's hope this new month will help make things shine brighter...that is if people don't end up screwing themselves over because of their incompetence and impatience. Let's hope for the best, so until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
