Update Blog - 4/22/23 (Patreon)

This was a time that I got things done. Not only did I decided to finally let go a very long-awaited video so that people can watch it, but I also worked hard on a video that I really put my heart into, especially when it's primarily for the people who are the closest to me. I believe it was the kind of week I needed to get through so that I could have some weight off my back and move on to some new stuff.

- Released Part 5 of Animation Lookback: The Muppets: After a few weeks of delays due to waiting for the approval of the sponsored plug, I decided that I can't leave people on hold for this much longer, especially when I made the promise that it would eventually arrive. Unfortunately, the YouTube version is still on hold because I have to wait until they send me the links for the description, but there is a good chance that it will be publicly released on Monday, so there will soon be a conclusion to this whole ordeal. Anyways, back to the Part itself, this may debatably be the best episode of the series yet. I was finally at the point where I can go beyond Jim Henson and continue the story of The Muppets, and now this can be seen as its own thing instead of any comparisons to other works like Defunctland or the Brian Jay Jones biography. But also, I wanted to emotions to really hit and for the projects that I was talking about to really have the spotlight, especially when I was discussing about Jim Henson's death and focusing on some fan-favorite films like The Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island. I know the wait for it was much longer than planned, but I hope it was all worth it because I was very proud of what I did with this one. The next parts will be hard to to what I did with this, but it will be very fascinating to see how the Muppets' story will continue from here.

- Editing my Vacation Vlog: Even though I came back a few weeks ago, I was reliving my Walt Disney World vacation through editing this video. As you know, I put a lot of effort and care in my videos to make sure that they come out the best, but this one stands out in the way that I put in a lot of love into this because I wasn't just doing this for those who watch my videos such as yourselves, but I'm mainly doing this for my family. Those who were a part of my vacation and contributed to create some unforgettable memories to help strengthen our bond. At the very least, even if YouTube's algorithm will not care about this, if my family loves it, then that's all that matters to me. This did end up becoming longer than I expected, as the video will be just under 50 minutes, but I've done my best to compress that whole week into this one vlog where it will be like you've joined me on the adventure.

- Starting the next Special Vlog: After creating that very unique video, I decided to get working on...well, another unique vlog video XD However, I'm not doing this because the Vacation Vlog inspired me to do more stuff like that. This was something I've been planning to do for months. In a way, this will be a sequel to a video I've done a few years ago. However, there will be an extra component that will lead to the final result of what I want to show you with this. I still have some work to do, and I haven't even started to create the video itself. What I've done so far is filming and then I have to put this all together next week. You'll see what I mean when this will come out later.

So that was my week of letting things go and move on from the things that I held on to for a while. Part 5 is no longer caged by the wait of sponsorship approval and I don't have to keep looking back at my time at Disney World so that I can move forward with that Disney spirit in me. I'll be ready to get some new work done, but until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
