Hello! I finished this quick one well in time for thanksgiving. It took three weeks; one week for making Gobbles, one week for the set, and one week for filming. Not too bad. I'm going to post a green screen lesson for you soon. That was by far the biggest challenge on this one. Keying out green when there is yellow, red, black, and blue in the screen was incredibly difficult!!!!!
I uploaded a new video to the channel. This one is a behind the scenes look at how the Fox Witch stuff is made. It's a little over 10 minutes long, almost doubling the length of time my channel has available. My goal is to try to get monetized on YouTube. I need 4,000 public watch hours and 1000 subscribers. I think the watch hours will come naturally over time... but 1000 subscribers?! That's a tall order. I have confidence though. Each time I see a 10 year old kid unboxing a flashlight with 110K views, I feel okay about it.
To date, I have 37 subscribers and 12 watch hours. Not much you say. But think about it. I've only been live for a few months. My channel only has 7 videos with a total of 12 minutes of watch time! My longest non-making of video is 2:36. Most of them are only half a minute long! Think of how many times people have to watch such short little videos to get 12 hours!!! So I'm looking very optimistically about this!
The next thing I'm working on is an 18 second long thanksgiving day message. Once everything is done being made (puppet, set, lighting) I hope I can crank out one or two more for the month of November. The set is literally going to just be fake autumn leaves from Hobby lobby or whatever I can find, with a blue background. If it takes two weeks to make (it's November RIGHT NOW!!) then maybe I'll just do two videos.
Anyway, it's fun doing all this and I guess I'm thankful for having all the time in the world to do this!
Stay safe! Stay Healthy!
