Update Blog - 6/4/22 (Patreon)

It's a new month, so it's fitting that I try out new things. I finally got to finish up some work I've had pending for a while, so that means that I have to start looking for new projects to get into and invest my time in as my next big video(s). There were certainly a lot of challenges I had to face with these videos, but I'm confident that they'll turn out great. And, as proof, here's what I've done this week.

- Released my review of The Bob's Burgers Movie: Making this review turned out to be more complicated than I thought. Not because I haven't seen the show, but because of how little materials there are to work with for the video. I'll say now that The Bob's Burgers Movie is my biggest movie surprise of the year because it was such a great and funny movie. However, the most they had in terms of clips online were a couple of 90-second trailers and a few short clips of the movie. Technically, there are plenty more from people filming in the theater, but their quality is just a joke. I'm glad I made that change with the Encanto review where I'm featuring images during the review so that I don't reuse the same clips again and again so that they don't become annoyingly repetitive, but this was a case that I had to do the most that I could do, especially when there's more to talk about as a musical (well, that's also debatable with the few songs it has). Overall though, I"m glad I got it done and I'm happy to have watched the film. Really funny and great stuff.

- Finished Editing the next AniMat's Classic Reviews: After several pauses from other reviews and other stuff outside of videos, I finally got done with the recent batch of ACRs. This week, it was mainly finishing up with the editing and mainly taking care of the revisions. This one, however, required more revisions than usual because of how one of the next ones coming up will be a little more different. I even had to do some trimming because some parts felt like they were longer than necessary and make sure that everything can be consistent and well prepared for its debut. I won't say a word about what I had to do on this that requires extra work and make several versions to know what are the right ones to present, but I can confidently say that the next reviews I have will be a bit more...unforgettable than others.

- Watching and Writing the next Special Review: After all of these videos that I had to work on and get them ready soon, I realized that I need to get back on some Patreon requests that need to be cleared out. One of which is a little more special than usual where I need to watch a special movie. This one makes sense because it's a kind that I've reviewed before and is celebrating a big milestone this year. However, this one is a little more different because I know I need to do some research beforehand before actually watching the main course to fully understand its context. It's no biggie, since I reserved some time to watch some extra content and then I came in with full knowledge. As you're reading this, I've seen all that I need and I'm currently writing the script for it. There is a chance that I'll need to have this done soon and release this by later this month, but it'll be like a start for me to catch up with one of the biggest franchises out there.

- Started the next Top 10: At the same time that I started that special review, I also decided to begin another big project with a new Top 10. This was an idea I had in the back of my mind for a while and I decided that I'm curious enough to see how deep this rabbit hole goes. Admittedly, I didn't do a whole lot on this one because of the time I needed for the other reviews, currently putting my focus on the special review and have that done, and I started this just in the middle of the week. What I have done is doing the research and crafting the list itself. I've only done a small bit of writing for the script. However, this will not necessarily be a high priority project, since I'm planning to have this be somewhere in the summer. So, I'm only going to be working this a bit at a time while I also do other videos that need to be done sooner like reviews and AL: The Muppets. However, I know this will be the start of something fun and maybe this can give me the chance to make something more entertaining out of this.

So that's been my week and how I started my month of June. By the way, since we are at the start of pride month and I am aware that some of you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, I'd like to say that hope you'll all have a wonderful month embracing who you are and may you always love yourself even outside of June. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
