Some Changes (Patreon)

Once a quarter or so, I sit down with myself and dig through my channel's process of making videos, and assess what works, what doesn't and what things I should try. 

So in the last few months, I have moved to a twice weekly video schedule I like a lot. I also changed to live action content filmed at the Youtube space.

So here are things I like and don't like about this setup:

Likes:
-Weekly schedule
-streams
-quick step

Don't like:
-Encoding pipeline blocks
-Having little forewarning of when I get studio time forcing me to binge write a lot of scripts and end up producing a few I am not happy with
-My scripts feel too much like lectures, and had some points of big drops in viewer retention.

So here is a list of things I am going to stop doing:
1. I will stop relying on the Youtube space to make my videos. The space makes my schedule too chaotic, and I want to give myself more time with each script that it allowed.
2. The proper Thursday step back video, I am going to do a return to voiceover and motion graphic style. With the way things were working, it wasn't saving me a ton of time, as the video footage added a lot of bottlenecks in my process.

Here is what I am going to try and improve on:
1. Improving the writing of scripts. Giving myself more time with the subjects.
2. Improve the storytelling angle of each script. This means making sure there is a real story structure, an emotional voyage through the story, and going in more focused on the one big takeaway. I don't want to move out of being educational, but I think I went too far in that direction and want to entertain as well.
3. Return to motion graphics to get more visual aspects to the videos, as well as more visual gags I used to love doing.

These changes should start popping up in May. I hope you all like what you see when I get there. If you have anything you'd like to recommend I stop or start doing, I really wanna hear from you.

Cheers!
