Update Blog - 11/27/21 (Patreon)

As Americans were having their family reunions and eating their Thanksgiving dinners, I was having one of the most stressful weeks I had in awhile. I pulled a smart move to put out that warning at the start of the week to say that I needed more time to make that Encanto review because I felt dead exhausted after completing that review. I still did some other work on the side (including a voice acting gig in the middle of the week), but this was honestly intense.

- Created & Released my review of Encanto: Turns out that I had a lot to say regarding this film. In a very rare occurrence, the review itself ended up being just over 20 minutes long. However, that also came with a serious challenge on the editing. I knew that repeated clips has often been a problem with my reviews and I have considered for a while to find alternatives to work around that. However, considering the length of the review and what limited materials I had to produce this, I had no choice but to experiment and test if it could work. I hope use of images will help improve things top make the reviews easier to watch as people listen to my analysis. I know it's minor compared to what I have to say, but I'm just always looking for ways to improve my content. Anyways, long story short, I love this movie. After 5 years since the last original animated musical from Disney, this is a great comeback of that classic format. Highly recommend to check it out on the big screen before the year ends.

- Started writing on the Top 5 Best & Worst Animated Films of 2021: Now, I know what you're thinking, "Mat, isn't it a little too early to start this list, especially when not all the animated movies of 2021 hasn't been released yet?" I know, I know, but it's always good to start early and update the list while you're in the middle of working on it when a new release comes out. During the week, when my work does not include making the Encanto review or the podcast, I started writing the script for the video while making both lists at the same time. Admittedly, it was tricky to remember and shortly summarized what I said in my reviews before, but it's already looking pretty good so far! I got a feeling that some choices may be controversial, so I'll emphasis that this is MY list and be transparent that it's all based on my opinions. However, I know there is still some hype over this video, so I'll be doing my best to end this year with a bang!

And that should do it with my week of pressure caused by making a review of Disney's latest animated feature and have it released ASAP. I'm so glad that the weekend is finally here. I couldn't be happier that the weekend has finally arrived. Now I can relax and don't have to worry about rushing videos out as soon as I start making them. I hope you all enjoyed the Encanto review and that the image experiment helped make the review better to watch. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
