Update Blog - 10/23/21 (Patreon)

I don't always say this, but I think I put out one of my best videos of the year! I'll explain more in this blog, but it was an idea that's been simmering in my head for a while, and now that it's finally out and released to the public, I'm definitely am proud of what I did and it reminded me of why I love doing my job so much. Haven't felt like that since finishing Animation Lookback: Walt Disney Animation Studios +. I also did other stuff at the same time, so here's what's been happening during my week.

- Released my Top 10 Weirdest Animated Films: Remember when I put one of the goals on Patreon that I would make a special Top 10 if I reached a certain point? This was the one that I had in mind. As many may point out, I used a similar approach to what I did with my Alice Through the Looking Glass review where, every time I pop up, something unexpected happens, but I took it to a whole new level with the use of my green screen. The result is one of my most creative videos that took me weeks of discovering new movies, making the perfect list for it and crafting the video itself to look like one crazy adventure. Some personal favorite effects I made in there were the intro where I snap and my background shattered, the start of #8 where I played with the audio, #7 and #6 where I literally suit up and become Deems Taylor and #4 where I made a mini version of myself sitting on my Blu-rays. I really hope people will enjoy this list as much as I did making it, because there's a part of me feels like this is one of the best examples of who I am as a YouTuber.

- Working on the next AniMat's Classic Reviews: Admittedly, this one took more work than I thought. Not only because I produced an AniMat Watches based on this upcoming review, but the review itself is going to be a big one. There is A LOT to dissect on this one, so the script ended up becoming nearly 3200 words long (my average script for a review would be around 2500 words). But I think this will really pay off because this is the kind that opens up a lot of possibilities to not just analyze, but to slip in some jokes as well to make the video more fun. At least with the next one coming up, this will be a review that I'm sure people don't want to miss. As you're reading this, I also got things set up for the one after that, but I won't get into that one until next week. There's still a bit more reviewing work to do, but I'm confident that the end of this year will feature a lot of great ones that can cap off 2021 on a strong note.

- Currently working on my review of Ron's Gone Wrong: Let's be honest, there's not a lot of hype for this movie (mainly because of a bunch of big ones that's overshadowing it, including the release of Dune), but I am still optimistically curious to see what this is all about. The trailers actually do a nice job presenting something that could be wholesome and the reviews from critics have been genuinely positive. Who knows how this could turn out, but that's what I'm about to find out and work on now so that my thoughts can be clear and put onto a video.

So that was my week of reviewing and putting out a big Top 10. I've been on a pretty good roll so far, and I'll do my best to keep it up for the next week. There's still more to be done, but I got the energy to take 'em on one by one. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
