It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Truth be told other than posting videos I stopped using Tumblr much over the past year because I was spending too much time looking at cool images instead of working :x Productivity is up, pictures of anime memes is down, but sacrifices must be made.





ANYWAY I thought I would chat a bit about format for my videos. I recently started doing live camera stuff for my videos, because drawing was taking up too much time and I started to get really burnt out on it. I actually intended my videos to be that way from the start, but awful lighting and sound in my house in the rooms I can actually record in was an issue.





Annnd it still is! I kind of hate the room I record in now, the sound is good but it’s not much to look at. Setting up in there takes a long time which has made recording a chore, coupled with having to do it super late at night when everyone’s asleep and such (my bedtime has also gotten earlier due to work!).





Last week I was on vacation and recorded some videos while I had the downtime, but again there were lighting/sound issues so they’re recording only. I can make it work without having to do a million drawings, but it also encouraged me to go look into using game footage to make up some of that extra time.





Originally I started doing the drawings because I couldn’t record my own game footage. However I’ve found a reliable source that I can use from the internet without having to steal it! I shouldn’t be nervous to use it, but changing halfway through a series is kind of nerve-wracking, especially since I just did the same thing with the live segments.





It shouldn’t feel weird at all since 99% of channels would have been using game footage from the start. I kinda like being different, but I don’t want that to get in the way if the videos could be better.





My goal, always, is to find ways to make more videos that are better quality and more efficient. I think if I mix footage with some drawings for jokes or just anything I happen to want to draw, it might be best and easiest on me. Then we’ll do real footage for videos on broader or weirder topics.





I’m lucky in that my subscriber base is tiny, and especially for KH which isn’t a hugely watched series it’s not a big deal to make changes, but I still get nervous. I don’t want it to be too weird to go through the series as a whole, even though it already is since the early episodes are impossible to understand >.>



ANYWAY I just wanted to sound off and let you guys know where my head is at. Just writing this made me feel more confident about going for it. If you have any thoughts let me know!
