Update Blog - 9/11/21 (Patreon)

So, last week, I went through the craziest Labor Day weekends I had yet, mainly because it was the time I had to do the most socializing in years, including a family dinner, a funeral and a party with friends. It was quite an overwhelming experience (especially during the pandemic), so it actually feels refreshing to just get back to work and advance my projects. So, with that said, let's get onto my week.

- Released my review of Gulliver's Travels: It may not be the most known vintage movie out there, but it was still interesting to give it a look regardless. There's no denying that this is a Snow White cash-in, but it does have its own merits that make it fine on its own. In fact, I was honestly surprised that it was pretty good for what it is, even when it does have a hint of that dated nature and play up the emotions to the point of making Disney look subtle, but that animation is fantastic and really enjoyed Gulliver as a character. Just like Mr. Bug Goes To Town that I reviewed years ago, it's one of those old films that don't get much attention from people, but for animation enthusiasts, it's an intriguing watch for the sake of witnessing animation history and see how the creators of Betty Boop and Popeye make movies. But now that I just left Lilliput, it's now time that I head into another mythical land, but this time, a lot more mainstream with Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire. I know this is another fan-favorite, so we'll see what I'll have to say with this one and if it can go as well as Treasure Planet.

- Filming & Editing the next Top 10: While the Labor Day weekend was crazy for me, that didn't mean the madness stopped there, because there was a lot of work that had to be done. After my weekend, I did get time to work on those voiceovers so that they can be set for the video, but then the real work began when I had to do the filming. Oh, do I have some crazy plans with this one, which required a lot of green screen effects and even a good amount of costume changes. Now that I'm editing all these together, that'll be another big challenge on its own, because executing them all and removing the backgrounds and adding extra effect will take some time. It's like a complex puzzle that only I can solve because it's all about putting my ideas onto the computer. In fact, I can say now that it took me an entire day just to edit the whole intro just so everything can work correctly. This could take me another week or 2, but it'll be one of those projects where all the hard work will pay off.

- 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 20th. 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 Tuesday the 14th, and Thursday the 16th and both at 2pm EST. Let me know if you're not available for either so I'll organize a quick chat.

And that should be it for my week. I'll admit that things are starting to look up for me and I feel excited about what I'm working on, so I'm definitely doing something right for myself. I'll keep at this to working on this Top 10 until it's finally ready to amaze everyone! So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
