February Production (Patreon)

(I'm posting this early this month because we're in the midst of a LOT of work and wanted to update it to show. Next month a lot of previews are going to be coming out! There's a couple post-script notes at the bottom of this post which you guys should check our, regarding questions you guys might have about content and something we wanted feedback on!)

This post is for the sake of upkeep regarding what's been recorded/written this month, and other things that have been in production actively, and noting business expenses regarding the channel. 

Posts like these will be made at the end of every month, and only be charged posts if a considerable amount of writing/pre-production was done. If we did not do enough to warrant a charge we will still update you on our costs and give news.

Written

• Bleach (S) Abridged episoded 25 and 26 are complete, with episode 27 being redrafted heavily and episode 28 being worked on.

• Fate Unlimited Blade Works Abridged episodes 3 and 4 are complete
• Fate Apocrypha scripts are now being drafted(this will not conflict with UBW)

Recording

• Bleach (S) Abridged episode 25 & 26 is being recorded for and will soon be completed.

• Unlimited Blade Works episodes 3 and 4 are being recorded for.

Production

• Production on Digimon Adventure Tri Abridged Episode 5
• Casting for Fate Apocrypha
• Bleach (S) Abridged episodes 25 & 26.
• Digimon Adventure Abridged episodes 8 & 9
• Talk with Bryce Papenbrook & David Vincent for content regarding the "Unlocked" platform & app. Exact details are under an NDA.

Production Costs

• $500 in studio upkeep costs, and costs for Patreon services like Google Drive, the Creative Cloud, etc(our pre-amps broke suddenly, requiring replacements)
• This month in particular saw a lot of sudden financial needs for the channel... ! Luckily it is all to facilitate the content we're working on, so it'll all turn into content for you guys shortly!

P.S. We're entering into a HUGE phase for content production. Given that and given that a lot more content will be around for previewing, Aaron and I wanted to pose a question(which we will revisit officially next month if this is overlooked): how do you guys feel about a possible fourth major preview post every month? Aaron and I are both working full time now so we can work on a lot more content(in terms of minutes) and it would help us both stay ahead bill-wise, and we'll soon have a surplus of content to get into your hands. I want to know how you guys feel about the possibility? It would mean larger quantities of preview content for you guys during periods of heavy editing, and the same amount during periods of normal editing.

P.P.S. For those wondering where Bleach is, it's being worked on as normal. Unfortunately we currently have 2 copyright strikes that will take several months to resolve on our channel. While they're there we can't post anything that would trigger a strike. While being produced, you Patrons will still see all of the episodes as normal(Digimon Tri as well) but they won't go up on the main channel until it's safe.

During this period we will lean into working on UBW a bit more than usual, since it doesn't cause copyright issues on YouTube. Normal activity will resume once the strikes expire. We're going to do our best to show you guys here on Patreon the usual rotation in the meantime.
