I was once worried that I would end up with a week where I had no videos prepared for that time, like seriously having a deadline looming over me hard. But this week, however, I felt like I put myself back on track and now got a bunch of videos prepared for the next few weeks and even end up creating some work that turned out to be much better than expected! With that said, here's what's been happening with my week.
- Created and Released AniMated Watches Trolland: I don't often make this statement, but this is honestly a strong contender as possibly the worst animated feature I've ever seen. Maybe even more than Where The Dead Go To Die. And funny enough, this was a bit of a last-minute decision on what I could do for an AniMat Watches and I ended up going with this after discovering that I can't watch the English versions of Video Brinquedo films anywhere (at least for free or that's available globally). I never thought an animated film could legitimately go this bad though. Sure, it does give me tons of materials to create a good AniMat Watches video, but WOW is this bad! In fact, it's one of those movies where it's really hard to find what went right with this feature.I think the only good thing from this movie is just Dick Van Dyke's performance because he's Dick Van Dyke. He's possibly the only guy that's TRYING in this movie! Hope you guys enjoyed my experience discovering this, but it's hard to shake it off after witnessing that the bar can go even lower than you can ever imagine. By the way, on the day I made that video, I created not one, but TWO AniMat Watches! There's this one and another that will possibly be coming soon, so keep your eye out on that one ;)
- Released my Interview with Matthew Senreich (Robot Chicken Co-Creator): This was an opportunity I never thought would happen! Guess Adult Swim appreciated my JJ Villard interview that they're willing to let me help promote some of their bigger works, including one of their most popular shows, Robot Chicken! It was quite a journey in itself going through this interview because I have to talk with Matthew on two separate occasions. The first time went well, but then the video files of the interview got damaged and could only get part of it. The second time was to quickly get the rest of the questions done and then go and put it all together. Part of me did wish the mess up didn't happen, but it was still amazing to get to talk with one of the creators of a big show I use to watch in my teen years. It was a real honor talking with Matthew and I hope there's more interviews like this to come!
- Finished Editing the next part of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: I always want to make sure these parts are the best they can ever be, so I spent a lot of time in the revisions of this one. Not only because I had to add some more info on some of the movies I would be talking about, but mainly because, when I recorded the narration, I had a cold, so there were plenty of lines I had to redo because the mic didn't pick it up correctly or my voice sounded too raspy. After I did my fist full review of the video itself, I spent hours just redoing some lines and re-editing the video itself to switch some of those bad recordings to put in the new ones. The result is now a lot better and once I get the animations from Logan, the video should be ready soon. Surprisingly, like last time, this one also turned out to be quite a long one and even surpassed 45 minutes! But it's all worth it for another great part to see how I'll be concluding the Disney Renaissance.
- Starting another part of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: Since I've already done some AniMat Watches and put myself back ahead of schedule, why not already jump straight to the 10th part to have more time developing some big ideas with this one. I've got the fan favorites of the 1990s out of the way, so it will be interesting to see what I will be faced with with the 2000s movies. Sure, they're not as big as the ones from the previous decades, but I know they got some big stories to tell with their productions, especially with tons of research materials to go through like 50-minute or even feature-length documentaries on the making of them. So far, I'm only starting the script of it, but it will help give me something to do for the next week or two. Now that I just finished part 9, I'm going into the 2000s.
And that's the big week I had with watching some really terrible movies and taking another big step on the history of Disney. Now that I don't have to worry about making videos to release them soon, I can move forward with more confidence that I'll have the time to execute some big ideas for some upcoming videos...that and keep myself healthy so that I don't get sick and end up making some long revisions afterwards. So, until next time...
See ya later, dudes!
