UPDATE: *Feedback Requested* - Starting a "Livestream Show" (Patreon)
Content
Hello! First of all I want to say how truly grateful I am for your support of the channel. If it weren't for you I would be seriously evaluating the future of the channel and likely considering scaling back while pursuing other opportunities. Because of you I am instead asking myself, how can I make the channel better and what can I do that is uniquely me and perhaps not done in the reaction space.
First off, I am likely moving away from including tv shows on the channel for now and focusing on my 2 movie reactions each week. I will still react to Obi Wan Kenobi, but I will combine 3 episodes per video so it is 2 extra releases on the channel instead of 6. After that I will evaluate if any TV shows will be included at all.
I know that I truly enjoy live-streaming and I am wondering if I could create a more polished and consistent version of "CNR LIVE" for the channel and I would love your thoughts on the general idea and what you would potentially like see included most.
My Idea: Revisit great films and do a more fleshed out review, trivia, what I've learned and how my opinion has changed since initially viewing the film. I would also feature comments from that video and potentially bring in other reactors who have done that film and get their input and add a nice conversational element to the stream.
It would also be an opportunity to give updates on the channel (such as content, strategy, analytics) and spend a few minutes chatting with those who tuned into the broadcast.
I would aim to have it feel more professional vs a casual let's chat stream (I.E. video clips, screen sharing, overlays, putting comments on the screen.)
My thoughts would be to do it on Mondays at 2:00 PM EST
I would like to kick off the show July 11th with Jaws since it was my first reaction, I would show a clip of the moment the shark came up on the boat, discuss the films cultural impact, trivia, behind the scenes. Show my reaction to quints speech which I hadn't included, maybe have a guest as well.
I would also likely do two test shows prior to that one this month (May 23rd) just for patrons and one public on June 6th to try and work out some kinks and promote the upcoming show.
QUESTIONS FOR YOU: (answer as many or as few as you'd like)
1. What are your initial thoughts to the idea?
2. What elements (I mentioned or your own) would you most like to see in such a stream?
3. Are there any parts that don't thrill you?
4. How often do you think I should do the stream? (daily, weekly, twice a month, once a month, don't do it at all! ) [btw I'm not doing it daily, but feel free to suggest it if you want😉]
My planned release schedule on a stream week would be a Monday livestream with a Tuesday & Friday reaction release.
Ok, thank you in advance for your feedback. I am so grateful for your support as I continue to work to make CNR a great place to re-experience your favorite films.
