Moving Forward with the next big projects! (Patreon)
Content
Before I write anything else, thanks so much everyone for the outstanding support! I'm blown away by the success of that latest animation!
Now, let's talk about how I'm going to manage animated projects moving forward. I'll be entirely honest, I don't really have it in me to go back for another 6-8 months of work on an entire animated short, so I've decided to change my approach into something less daunting.
From now on, I'll be making the big projects in chunks, hopefully with a monthly release (might move to bi-monthly depending on the results and general public reception) and then all edited together in one big "final cut" with title card and credits and everything once it's all finished. This way, $5 patrons will have more regular content while still allowing for me to take on big projects.
It'll also save me some mental energy as I'm always a bit overwhelmed doing each part of the production process for the entire short at a time (As an example, character animation alone was over 4 months full time of work for Cuddle Demon)
Right now I'm still mostly taking it easy for the remainder of april and setting things up for working with a new schedule. I also need to figure out with the sound, the title card and everything else how to make it all work with monthly releases.
Thanks for taking the time to read! Next project will truly kick off in May, stay tuned for that!
