Stuck (Blog) (Patreon)

Hey guys, before I get stuck into the update this week, I'd like to give a huge thanks to all the new Patron after the boost in promotion recently. Really awesome to see and I really appreciate it, cheers guys! Hope you're enjoying the extra stuff so far, hopefully there can be a lot more to come soon.

--------------------------------------------------------

Productivity and Main Content) Last week was the first week literally all year, I've actually had time and motivation to get shit done. Along with finishing off Call of Duty, getting the Patreon video and shooting a bunch of testing episodes, I also got script 4/6 finished for the series coming later this year. Unfortunately, things have slowed way back down again which is scary. Right now... I'm nervous this series just isn't gonna happen due to the time it's taking to get done. And that's frustrating for me because it's not an underestimation of the work load, it's life shit getting in the way, getting the mood down and making it hard to work. Thankfully, I've almost got script 5/6 finished, I just hope I can keep up some pace this month.

I was upset that I couldn't have used my super productive week last week, to work on more main videos being reviews and Top 10's. Despite the setbacks, I've got all the time and patience in the world right now for editing, I just don't have anything aside from testing ready to be edited. Again though, I DO have a Top 10 ready to be filmed! It's a combination of two previous lists I've made and I'm stoked with the variety in the selections, which you may know, is always something I fuss over with those videos.

I've also finally landed on an idea for the next review episode! It's something I've wanted to make for years now but just never felt ready to make it. Now there is a related video I'd like to make first but can't due to the requirements, but it's not really important which video comes first. So I've decided to start stockpiling the hardware as I come across it here and there, with the intention of making that second video in the future, as it'd be a great episode!

Stuck on the Balance) I'm worried the testing content is hurting the channel. Those videos have been doing well since Hawktober last year and people have really got into the series. However, the lack of main videos this year due to me working on so much other stuff, isn't working for me right now. So with that said, I'm going to do my best this month to get some main videos up. BOTH that Top 10 AND the Review. Thankfully, the Top 10 is halfway done and the review should be easier to produce than normal.

My plan for that is to film it like a game testing episode, with natural reactions. The taking those experiences, structuring a script to fill in the gaps and then, I won't have much else to film. It'll also make it for a less complicated edit. I'll do my best, no promises, might drop early in April yet but right now, I am gonna try super hard to reduce the testing content for more main videos! As for testing, I'm planning to get that over with as quickly as possible just so we can have a break. "The heart grows fonder in absence" ~ Someone

It's just the balance of content I've been struggling with this year, so it's time to get on top of it!

-------------------------------------------------------- 

Closing Thoughts) So yeah, hope that all makes sense and sets the scene for where we're at right now. My personal goal this week is to have scripts 5 and 6 finished, so that I can begin the revision process and start filming! With that series being filmed on weekends, I'll have my weeks back for regular content production... that's hope anyway. But that's do it so if you have any questions, especially if you're new here, please don't hesitate.

So until next week, thanks for reading and I hope you have a great fucking day. Cheers guys! Gonna do my best to have that Top 10 ready for next week. :D
