Working on Patreon and Youtube

Hey guys! Happy June! I hope you guys have had a wonderful week and a restful weekend. I was supah busy this week with finishing up Patreon rewards for the end of the month, vet trips, and oil painting.

What I did this week

I'm a little bit stressed because firstly, my older bunbun needs to be neutered; he has a tumor as I found out from taking him and my white bun to the vet for a checkup, and therefore I'm taking them both to get neutered tomorrow morning. My older rabbit is 8 years old, so I'm a little worried that he'll be okay after the anesthetic and surgery, but  fingers crossed that everything will be okay. All the vet visits and surgery is gonna put me back $500, so I'm a little stressed about continuing to save money for college/long term, but I'm continuing all the work! This time of year is always the worst for me, so I'm just gonna keep pushing through.

Another problem that I've been noticing is that my filming camera (I have the Canon 60D) hasn't been performing the best for me. My past couple of videos have been slightly fuzzy for some reason, so I invested in a Panasonic Lumix G7 (I rented one for a video project a couple months back and really liked the video quality) so I received that on Friday. I used it for my newest YouTube video and I'm really pleased with the quality, yay! I've also been watching lots of studio vlogs of way better artists than me, and I'm hecka jealous of editing skills. I really wanna get better at video production, so I'm trying little by little to improve, but it's super difficult for me. I'm gonna scour Skillshare for some good editing videos since YouTube doesn't have what I've been looking for. 

Oh! And I would like to share some more of my face on YouTube or here on Patreon, so I'm thinking about how to do that. Would you guys like for me to do a Patreon-exclusive personal Q&A for you guys? 

Also, I'll be sharing some of the full-time process videos for my past couple YouTube videos that I haven't gotten around to sharing. I tried to export the full, real-time video for today's oil painting, but the file was way too huge and wouldn't fit in my laptop's storage, and the only way to get the file size down is to make the video 720p instead of full HD. I don't know if I should compromise the quality. :(

MOVIES

Rewatching The Departed (cause it's such a good movie?), The Office, the new season of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (which was way too short!!), and some Chopped and Worst Cooks. Apart from The Unbreakable Kimmy, I've just been running shows and movies in the background while I'm working. 

MUSIC

Nothing really new. I've been playing Andrew Belle's new album a couple of times through, as well as listening to songs that I've recommended in the past two weeks. The 1975 came out with a new album, but I haven't had the opportunity to listen to it yet! I'll let you guys know my thoughts as soon as I do.

Take care guys! :)
