Developing a new concept (Patreon)

Hey guys. For the past two weeks I've been stuck in hotel quarenteen, so I've taken the time to experiement and flesh out a new concept. I really like the look of classic stop motion, like in Beetlejuice, or the original King Kong. The janky pose to pose action has a raw charm to it.

You can see a test video attached. It was shot on my phone under the overhead bathroom lighting.

I'm weighing up whether to develop this into a new fully fledged character like Nox, or just submitting it as is and just rolling with the raw experimental aspect and seeing where it goes. Let me know your reactions, it'll help me decide what to do with it :)

On the Nox front, I'm finishing up a big project, which is a collaboration with someone many of you will know. Your support so far has helped me to invest in some high end camera gear and lenses. You might have noticed a sharper image in the last two Nox releases. I'm also setting up a dedicated space to leave a green screen and set perminently available. Production has gotten so much faster lately, it's pretty encouraging thinking about the opportunity after the release of the next big Nox video.

On the Patreon front, I'm still deciding what this space is going to be. What's the best way to entice viewers when I launch? Is there demand for people to see real me? Or do they want to interact with Nox? Should the Behind The Scened be geard towards creatives, or more broadly the general public? Potentially the most lucritive options are the tried and true reward tiers; a credit at the end of the video and access to private discord.  Part of me thinks it could be fun to develop a psuedo cult on here, for playful and villainous online shenanigans. But I dunno, that could go sidewise. Lots of things to weigh up, let me know what you're interested to see.

Again, thank you to you all for the ongoign support. I know these updates are infrequent on here currently, so I doubly appreciate it. The ongoing monthly payments has taken the edge off considerably. It's a load off knowing that my creative work is no longer dragging my bank accounts into the red. You've helped to lay the foundations. It's given me a lot of leeway to plan for the next phase of Nox.
