Cutting it Fine & Getting Your Feedback (Blog) (Patreon)

What'sup peeps? Man that was awful. Time to delete the channel I guess.

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

6-Parter Progress) Last week was both good and bad for the project, I'll go over the bad first. One of my actors doing a bit part for one of the episodes had a family emergency to deal with, so we had to postpone that shoot back to this upcoming weekend. Thankfully everyone was ok, more of a scare blown out of proportion than anything else. But onto the good news, the day prior to that, I had a BIG session with my cousin helping me film that was incredibly productive... meaning that's another episode 100% filmed (excluding a couple B-roll shots I may or may not even need to pickup yet). Which is AWESOME!

On top of that, Episode 3 of the series has been FULLY EDITED, minus the scene we needed that actor for. But that's ok because once it's filmed, a single session will see that video complete. So really, that's 2 out 6 episodes essentially filmed, with the other, much shorter Episode 1 we finished last week, ready for editing! I only need 4/6 videos fully finished by the end of this month which is when I plan to start uploading them. So in short:

• Two videos fully edited (for the most part)
• One more video ready to be edited
• Only 1-2 shoots to have the 4th episode filmed, ready for post-production

It's totally doable. Problem right now is the gamble with weather. This time next week is actually cutoff for filming these 4 episodes so it's a bit nerve racking, but I'm trying to stay optimistic on that. IT IS DOABLE THOUGH, that's the important part to remember! I hope you're all excited to finally see the payoff for months of inconsistent uploads, delays and exhausting days slaving over this one. It's definitely a passion project to say the least, something that hits quite close to home for me!

Tony Hawktober) I'm still just playing games ahaha, trying to anyway. It's getting there though, I've got 10/17 games COMPLETED and I'm currently working my way through game 11. So slowly making progress there. As soon as these are done with, live streams should be back in full force. It's just important that I get through these ASAP as along with the 6-Parter, I need them fully played through by the end of this month, ready for pre-production and scripts.

General Patreon Updates) So I've got a couple notes here I just need to get across to you:

• CTR: Nitro Fueled Behind the Scenes Blog post is on the way. I just haven't gotten around to sorting out an outtakes video to go along with, including stuff all through the year. I figure to save flooding the feed, it'll be better to include the Early Access for that within the same post. ETA: Either the end of this week or next week!
• July Podcast is recorded and Cal is being a massive legend and putting that together, so hopefully by the middle of next week, you'll see that here!
• **Possible New Patreon Reward on the way**

In case you missed it in the latest video, the CTR: Grand Prix Episode 1, I'm looking into offering some channel merch again (because it was such a GREEEAAAT idea the first time *sarcasm*) and I'm hoping to also, offer some discount codes for those on the $5 reward tier! I'm not entirely sure how that will work yet but it is something I've wanted to add onto that support level for a while now, I'm just finally finding the time to get around to it. Right now, the Tony Hawktober logo T is the main thing I've got, this area really isn't my strong point so I am open to suggestions. I'm thinking maybe some more of my video game based logos that say 'Square Eyed Jak' but I'm not entirely sure.

I'd like to try and offer something that both represents the channel, but also doesn't requiring explaining to someone what it is, if you get what I mean. A lot of channels offer stuff that I'd be embarrassed to wear, which is why I'm leaning more towards logos and general cool designs, as oppose to references to videos. I dunno. Like I said, it's not really my area so I'm fully open to suggestions. If you have any questions about it as well, please don't hesitate. All of you are one of my best resources for figuring this kind of thing out, as you represent the portion of the audience who this type of item and level of support is for. :D

Closing Thoughts) Well that about does it for this week people. Big project is on the way, finally. CTR is behind us and it's onto Hawktober, merch and all. So until next week, thanks for reading and I hope you have a great fucking day. Cheers guys!
