Update Blog - 2/27/21 (Patreon)

Well, this week was a lesson for me to not go overboard with working on big projects. Otherwise, you end up with a bit of a burnout and reset a bit of your priorities so you can put yourself back in shape. I still did a good amount of work, but I still gotta remember that I must take care of myself and make sure I'm really good so that the videos can be really good. So, with that said, here's what's been going on.

- Released Part 15 of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +:  Regardless of how people may feel about the movies in this part, I knew that this part must be an epic conclusion (even though this is not the last part of the series). I will admit that revisiting them myself with a new perspective of learning the behind-the-scenes stories of them is honestly refreshing after continuously seeing the constant hatred that some parts of the internet has over them (especially on Ralph and Frozen 2). Haven't felt that since rewatching the first Frozen when the hate on that was mainstream. I will admit that I was surprised to find that they made the sequels out of pure genuineness of making a new story with these characters instead of executive orders, but at least for me, they did come out very well and learning what they went through and the point that they want to make with them (rather it be Ralph's message of going through change in friendship or Frozen 2 giving the ending Anna and Elsa deserve) gives me more of an appreciation for them, even if they're not the best that Disney offered in the last decade. But what I am proud of the most with this is the epic finale where the music of Into the Unknown fits perfectly with the tone to conclude Disney Animation's library. This one's been real fun to make, but now there's just one more to go before we say goodbye to this story.

- Writing the Final Part of AL: Walt Disney Animation Studios +: I'm not gonna lie, I may have jumped the gun by doing this. Nothing will be wrong with the video, I promise you that, but immediately jumping from one part of AL:WDAS+ to the next was not the brightest move for my own well-being. As I went into the script of this one to write the honorable mentions, I might've gotten a bit of a burnout in the middle of the week without realizing it, especially when adding in the responsibilities that will be in front of me like some upcoming reviews that are coming soon. That's when I knew that I gotta step back and just focus on them for now and put the priority on this lower until I don't have anything else left that needs to be worked on soon. I did manage to write one big segment for this (even got time to record it too), but for now, as happy as I am to have made some advancements, I'll have to put it on the side so that other projects and especially myself will be more important to fix.

- Working on some Upcoming Sponsorships: This is just a little heads up of what's gonna be coming in the next few weeks. I got contacted by a company to go and collaborate with them to add a sponsorship for one of my upcoming reviews and, as I'm writing this, I just might have received another one, so I'll wait and see how things will go with them, but what they offer is actually quite interesting and I personally believe that my viewers and people like you might benefit from. So, again, this is just a quick heads up that I did this week that you might see some minute-long sponsorships popping up in a few upcoming videos.

- Currently working on the review of Tom & Jerry (2021): Now that I've set my priorities and put the last part on the side, as you are reading this, this will be my top priority to work on, and yes, I will be reviewing this movie. Like many, I have definitely enjoyed watching the Tom & Jerry cartoons when I was a kid from the original MGMs up to Tom & Jerry Kids. I don't know what to expect from seeing this movie and I received a lot of mixed feelings from watching the trailers, but the only way to find out how this movie will be is by watching it myself. So, as I always say, let's find out...next week ;)

So that's what's been happening during my week. So the lesson to take away from this blog is to remember to take care of yourself. No matter how much you love doing what you do, your well-being should be more important so that you can be in better shape to do more of what you love to do. I'll remember to try that next week so that I'll be better than ever to get to work. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
