Here's what's in the works.... (Patreon)

Welcome, new patrons! Thanks again for choosing to support the channel. Since the Patreon has finally launched, let's kick things off by talking about what's coming up in the immediate future.

The Next Episode

To start, for the last two months, I've been working on the next episode of New Frame Plus. It's a BEEFY one, and easily the most challenging edit I've experienced with this series so far, but I'm really happy with how it's turning out. Those of you with early access to new episodes will see

 it pop up in your feed very soon!

The Animation Exchange

This episode is scheduled to debut live at the Animation Exchange on March 19th. The Animation Exchange is a day-long event streamed live from the Twitch offices during GDC week. It features dozens of professional animators talking shop and giving demonstrations. It's basically a day full of GDC-calibur presentations, except it's free for everyone to watch on Twitch! I'll be there in person to debut this new episode and answer a few questions. It should be fun! I'll give more details in a later post.

But if you miss the live episode debut, don't worry! It will be released on the New Frame Plus channel very soon after. :)

Future Episodes

After that, it's back to making more regular episodes! I've had three scripts just sitting there WAITING to be made into videos. These include:

• an episode about Dragon Ball FighterZ, Guilty Gear Xrd and Arc System Works's amazing faux 2D animation
• a close-up study of Mario's cap-throw animation in Mario Odyssey
• the first episode of a new mini-series about the 12 Principles of Animation (which may sound familiar to those of you who watched this show back in the Extra Frames days!)

I'm excited for all of these, but I haven't yet got a release order in mind. In fact, that might be something I have y'all vote on later!

The Final Fantasy Project

I should also mention that Other Mega Series I've vaguely alluded to before. For the last year or two, I've been wanting to do a big series on the animation in the Final Fantasy series, from the first game to the present day, using it as a sort of history lesson on the progression of video game animation over the decades. I've been slowly chipping away at this project for a long while, but it's still in the early footage-recording and script-writing stages. It's tricky finding time for this gargantuan thing in the cracks between everything else, but I'm determined to make it happen. Some day. :P

But yeah, that's everything currently in the works for New Frame Plus! Let me know if you have any questions. I'll be back with more updates (and early access previews) soon!
