Update Blog - 11/7/20 (Patreon)

This is honestly one of the most intense weeks I've ever had in my life. And yet, at the rate it's going, if it keeps up, then a 4-year fascist nightmare could finally be over. It's crazy how it's still going as of this blog, but it's most important for the process of democracy to be done right and that every vote counts, regardless of who the vote is for. But to keep your mind off of that, here's my week of video-making.

- Released my review of Treasure Planet: Kind of a funny coincidence that I just talked about the history of this movie a few weeks ago in AL:WDAS+ and now it has its time to shine for me to review it. One thing I can say now is that this is much better than THE Treasure Planet! However, like I said, it is just good. Not great, nothing anything special, just good. I can definitely tell that there was a lot of ambition going into it to develop a unique Treasure Island adaptation, but it's just that there are a few essential elements that end up falling short. Not to mention that, at the time, Disney hadn't figured out yet the right blend of action-packed adventure for the adults and fun-filled comedy for the kids, resulting in another Pocahontas case where two tones keep clashing and not blending well together. But again, it is still good and well one for what it is with some admirable animation, great moments and a surprisingly underrated character with John Silver. I had my fun with this movie, but now I can fully move on from the planet and move onto my next review, which I'm sure will be highly anticipated, The Nightmare Before Christmas. It'll be right on time for the holidays, so this will be one review with great timing on its side.

- Finished making the Special Series Review: To be honest, on top of the stressful elections, it was also hectic with my organization, since for some videos, I required some extra material in order to continue with some of these productions. However, there are some things that were harder than I thought to find in a store or some orders on Amazon got delayed. One of them was an essential prop I needed for my special review. Last week, I finished the editing portion that I needed to do with the clips over the voiceover. All I needed was to just do the camera parts with me and the prop and it turned out much better than I initially thought. I've finally put all the pieces together and I think I'm set with a new fun review to deliver next week. Granted, it's been a long time since I've reviewed a series instead of a movie, so don't know if people will think I've explained my thoughts enough, but at least I'm happy with what I've done, so let's hope you guys will also enjoy what I have in store soon.

- Working on Part 12 of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: Now that I'm fully getting into this new part, it does give me a clearer idea of how this one is going to be and I think this could end up becoming the shortest part of the whole series, mainly because of the little info that's out there regarding the movies I'll be talking about. However, I know the big highlight won't be any of the films that will be brought up, but rather, what happened between those films that opened up a brand new chapter in Disney's history. Funny enough, since they're not as well known, it as honestly tough trying to find the behind the scene stories about some of them. I even scattered around stores to find their DVDs and Blu-rays with not much luck. Ultimately, I had to order them on Amazon because their bonus features are only there and nowhere found online (at least I can also take them directly to use in the video). As you're reading this, I'm just about to finish up writing the script and even did some recordings while waiting for those Blu-rays to come. This and the Series Review were pretty hectic in trying to find stuff for either research or as props, but at least I can give my wallet a break for next week.

So that's been my crazy week of stress, driving all around to hunt for stuff, spending and progress on my work. All I ask is if next week, things can be a lot calmer and that I can just relax and do my work in peace without looking for extra stuff. That and the sooner they announce that Joe Biden wins, the better. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
