Patron Update! (April 2019) (Patreon)

Hello everyone! It's time for a monthly patron update.

Upcoming Episodes

I'm currently hard at work on the next episode (which y'all voted for a couple weeks back): How Has Pokemon's Battle Animation Evolved?

I'd normally hope to be editing the video itself by now, but I actually had a bit of trouble getting the script nailed down. In addition to just being a BIG topic to research, this is the first time I've made a New Frame Plus episode that is essentially a franchise retrospective. It took a few rewrites, but I think I've just about got it dialed in, and I can't wait to get started on the video itself!

Once that episode is wrapped, I plan to get started on the first installment in a new 12 Principles of Animation mini-series. After that, I'll jump to either the Dragon Ball FighterZ video or the Mario Odyssey Cap Throw topic, whichever feels right. And fortunately, most of the scripts for these episodes are already nearly finished, so the downtime between releases should be considerably shorter! 

On the whole, I'm not currently satisfied with the pace of new episode releases. Thanks in part to the long production cycle on that last episode, we went two whole months without a new video, which is way longer of a gap than I would prefer. So for the next couple months, I want to try to get videos released more frequently, at least once a month. That's the goal, anyway. :)

PlayFrame

I don't know how many of you actually know about our other channel. PlayFrame is a daily Let's Play channel I run together with my wife, Carrie. I just started stumbling my way through Sekiro, but we've been playing a pretty wide variety of stuff over there. Kingdom Hearts, Dream Daddy, Night in the Woods, Stardew Valley, Demon's Souls... We've been having a great time with it. If you're interested in some more casual content from us, go give it a look!

Anyway, time to get back to work on that Pokemon script! With luck, I'll have a WIP render of the next episode ready for previewing soon. Thanks everyone! Have a great April!
