Just wanted to say a couple things about my sort of "format" change as of late, since I'll be releasing a new video within the hour that's another "at the bench" type. I hope everyone's enjoying these, but I did want to make it clear that I'm not pivoting entirely to this style. I'm still making scripted videos that I shoot at my studio (editing one right now, in fact) but I realized a few weeks ago that there are enormous quantities of things that I'd like to show to you that just can't sustain that kind of formal creative process. After a couple years of frustration with this, a few weeks ago I tried shooting an off-the-cuff video about something I _knew_ I couldn't script out. It worked, and it was so much easier than I expected that I just went ahead and shot four more in rapid succession. That's why my bench in the new vid will still be a mess, in fact - I cleaned it up two weeks ago, but I'd already recorded three videos before then. I also hadn't really fully worked out how to shoot this kind of video, so I'm still missing focus and stuff, but trust me - I get better at it. :p I'm a bit worried though, if I'm honest. I never know if anyone really comes to my channel for the production values, if that makes sense, and while I don't intend for these new videos to be "lower quality", you can tell there's less _effort_, because there just isn't room to fit it anywhere. They're just simpler subjects. And obviously, with these being so much easier to make, I'm more likely to post this sort of video than my usual style, and that makes me worry that it looks like I'm giving up and phoning things in, and that's not it at all. Every one of these videos is something you _wouldn't have seen if I hadn't shot it this way,_ and plus, I've been on a weekly release schedule for longer than I ever have before. Neither of those seem like bad things, but you tell me. Put simply, is this making you want to see my channel on your homepage less? Lemme know, and thanks for watching.
