Update Blog - 9/18/21 (Patreon)

Sometimes, it's best not to let out your work immediately after you finished it. It's always best to save it up at a later time to build up the hype and, when the time is right, prepare to present it in all of its glory. That's what I did with this video and what I will do with another big project coming up and hoping that all the hard work will pay off. Speaking of which, this is what happened this week.

- Released my Editorial of How Chicken Little SAVED The Walt Disney Company: Believe it or not, this was a video that I made months ago. In fact, I created this before I did the Nostalgia Critic video. The reason why I did this is because, when working on AL:WDAS+, one of the most fascinating facts I've learned is how Chicken Little played a critical role in one of the most important deals in modern Disney history. If you think about it, the most important move Bob Iger did during his time as the head of the company was the first big deal he did to bring Pixar back when the relationship was nearly destroyed, which set his legacy to buy more and more major companies to grow the empire. Much like what I did a year ago when I made a seperate history video on Disney's Florida animation studio, I wanted to highlight that moment and show how Chicken Little was the ultimate decision maker. Some may claim that I'm just repeating myself at this point by talking about Disney Animation history again, but I love it and can't get enough of looking into every part of it. Who knows? Maybe one day I can be included.

- Editing the next Top 10: On top of the other duties I had to take care of (including some extra Patreon work), it has been an intense week of working on that next Top 10. The good news is that I finished the main editing of the video, where it's all set up and is mostly complete with a confirmed running time of nearly 45 minutes. However, that doesn't mean it's finished and ready to come out soon. I still had to do some revisions. I've honestly spent around 2 days already on making revisions to making sure the video is perfect and polish any minor issues with the visuals or the audio. The toughest part was fixing up all the green screen effects. I'll say now that I'm doing much more than just the typical Editorial video and some shots were required to be more complex. That's why it was quite tricky to make sure everything can look good and that the green screened part don't look either out of place or just messy. I'll still need to do some more revisions before it's ready to go public, but I think I'll take a break so I can focus on other projects to take care of. But for now, with what is done, this could be one of the best videos of the year. I am not joking.

- Working on a Special Review: There's a lot of projects that are coming up soon that I need to do and I'm going to need the time to make sure they are done. That's why for next week, I decided to do something a little different, and no, this is not from a request. I originally thought about doing another AniMat Watches, but then I thought about a couple of things I've recently saw that I figured, why not talk about them? I don't see many people get into discussions about these, and they are prominent on a certain streaming service, so why not do a special vlog-style review like I use to do with the Muppet Vlogs and talk about those. There's just a lot to say about them and why not try it out to have the discussions going? This is just a little heads up regarding what's to come next week and even if it's not a major video or something that isn't elaborate or scripted, I just want to try it out and see if people can still enjoy it as much as my regular reviews.

So that's been my intense week of work. It was quite a lot to go through, but I think it will be worth it once that Top 10 comes out next month. I might consider to take it easy starting next week and not go crazy with working, but again, I just hope all that hard work will be worth it. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
