Box Peek April Update (Patreon)

I promised monthly updates on Box Peek going forward, so of course this one is on the final day of April. Since the March update, I edited and premiered Episode 1, I've finished the edit on Episode 2, and Episode 3 is still kinda far from finished. I'd say 30% done. Turns out Episode 3 is pretty nuts from a production standpoint.
That means I'm officially away behind schedule. With E3 and And For That Reason coming in the next months, the dream of spring 2018 has become the harsh realization of summer 2018. Despite all this, like last month's update, I'm not feeling too discouraged.
When Episode 1 re-premieres this summer, it won't be much different from the video you can see on YouTube now. I've made tiny changes to edits or audio, but really most of the improvements will be made to future episodes. When I'm this far back, it's important to shrug my shoulders and accept something that's Good Enough. At the same time I'm also humoring my bad habit of making some parts needlessly complicated. There's one shot in Episode 2 I made by accident, and I thought Hey this looks kinda cool, and now I want to do it more often and it just takes way more time.
It's a tricky balance that I'm still not good at. The good news is that I'm generally happy with the end products and that there are parts of this show that still make me laugh.
The old plan was to get two episodes done in April and three in May and I think now it's best to hope that I can finish Episodes 3 and 4 by the end of next month. Also, while the plan was originally to bank six episodes before premiering, I'm now thinking it should be eight. We'll make the adjustment depending on whether I get better or worse at finishing episodes on time. Whatever the case, look forward to another update probably on the last day of May. Also let me know what you'd like out of these posts. I think this ran kind of long but if you'd like more in-depth production talk I can get into that too. As always, thanks for your patience

Love & Respect,
Kyle
