Future of Chadtronic for 2018? (Patreon)
Content
I thought instead of a video post I'd do another sort of blog since you all seemed to really enjoy the last one I did. Don't worry though; plenty of videos will be continually posted here in the future. Let me fill you in on my short term plans and long term plans for 2018.
I had a blast this holiday season; I surprisingly was somehow able to make all the holiday videos I had planned in a very short time. Didn't think I would be able to do it, but I did. The Halloween videos were more spaced out, I made one video per week, but with the Christmas videos I was able to make all three videos in ONE WEEK. Again, not sure how I was able to do that. Just planned things out very well I guess. Not sure how I'll tackle holiday themed videos for 2018, after doing the same thing for 2 years I feel like I should try something new in place of the holiday videos, do something like a Zelda month, just something different. Not sure what. I do enjoy making the holiday videos, I may just make more again next year but do them in a bit different style? Not sure.
Now that the holiday season is coming to an end, I feel I do need a break. After all in December alone I uploaded 5 videos. Which for me is a lot. I plan to take a small hiatus in January and return as normal in February. I still have plenty of ideas for videos; I just need some time to sort out and gain some progress on some side projects I've got going on. I'm actually halfway into the process of remodeling my basement into a 2nd studio for videos. I'll continue to make my reaction videos in my same room but I'll be relocating where I film toy videos into this new 2nd studio. Currently the toy videos are filmed in an upstairs bedroom in my house. Honestly, when the move is complete you might not even be able to tell I'm filming in a new room since I anticipate the background will probably be the exact same.
As well as filming toy videos in the new studio I've also got space set aside to continue working on my "secret project" that I keep teasing. Before I had a small room setup for the project, since then I haven't worked too much in there, it's become more of storage room if anything. But with the new space for the project downstairs, things should move along more nicely, production speaking. I'm sorry I haven't yet told you what the project is, still not quite ready to reveal what it is, maybe spring of 2018? That's the current goal anyway. If I had to give you one bit of information, just know that it's an independent thing, and not really tied to Chadtronic in anyway besides the fact that I myself am making it. That's about all I'll say for now.
You all saw the launch of my new merch in November. Glad that finally happened. Very happy with how everything turned out. I want to release some more merch next year, including a plush! Originally I wanted to make a plush of Greg but now I'm not so sure. I might actually make a plush of myself? Haven't decided yet. Let me know what you think.
I'll probably be reserving most of my time in January to finishing my basement and working on my secret project, I thought maybe I would have time to work on a short horror film, I seem to keep putting that off for some reason, I really want to do it. We'll see. I'll slot that in for production if I come across the time for it, which I might not. I do for sure want to setup some sort of new horror universe next year though, at least at some point. I think that would be something fresh and fun for the channel.
It'll be nice to creatively recharge this next month, I hope according to you I made some good videos this year, I've got some crazy and silly videos lined up for 2018 that I'm sure you'll enjoy. That's about all for now!
