Hmmm... I've got a bit of a dilemma and I'm pondering how to resolve it.

This week I unpacked the archived footage for the next Arma bullshittery, did some basic editing for Fishing Planet & Farming Simulator. And for a full horror episode of Outlast. And I quickly spotted a problem. The length of many of the videos I have to work on is drastically different. 


Normally I'd just go "no problem" and put the short footage back into storage and wait until I recorded more with the clan 'some day' to reach that average 10 minutes (after all, I'd only have time to release one video a month before I was full-time anyway). 


Now though, since there's lots of time to edit, and some games might not see a 'some day' from ZF again,  it would make more sense to release these shorter bits between larger bi-weekly works. For example, if I'm spending 2 weeks working on an 18 minute Outlast video, a brief 5 minute giggle of me and Cyanide playing Fishing Planet could be put in the weekend in between.


The problem is: you'd be pledging the same amount for a really long or a really short Youtube video. And that doesn't sit well with me. Some of you are very generous in your donations. Nicolas for example is donating $100 per episode. And LazyBoy is giving $75. I'd frankly be mortified to ask that for something as short as 2 minute video. And then Youtube commentors would be quick to assert I'm selling out and deliberately chopping up content for the Patreon $$$


A single flat monthly thing seems more...sensible to me. I'd still focus on making as many videos as possible in a monthly period (aiming for 10 minutes). But won't feel so bad about releasing shorter videos in the downtime between really big ones.


Please tell me your thoughts below.
