Hello and welcome to a much belated post, greeting the start
of 2015 e.g. “The Future”
2014 was a great year for our videos, probably one of the
best. There was a nice steady stream of content, I think about 15 videos spaced
out over the year, with most receiving pretty damn great views. My videos now
typically go into triple figure digest, which is a lovely improvement over last
year, when I was lucky to get to 100 on something. I’ve even had two videos go into
the 2,000s so… yeh that’s lovely.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not some kind of crazy view fiend,
It’s just that when you spend a lot of your time and energies making videos, it’s
crazy lovely when people see it and enjoy it, which is why I’m a little
invested in the views and comments over on YouTube.
Now I usually do a little behind the scenes round-up type
post after a video goes up, and I’ve been neglecting that slightly since ‘The
Dalek Invasion of Squid’. So I’m going to start trying to update here whenever
a new video comes out, as well as going back and writing stuff for last year’s
videos. I May even start a diary type thing on here, little updates on what I’m
up to and what kinds of videos we’re working on. So yeh… I’m basically fishing
for content to beef this blog up a bit. But hopefully, it will turn into
something readable, and slightly entertaining.
I’m not going to do a whole 2014 summary like I did for
2013, just because I haven’t really got the energy, instead I will pick my
favorite video from 2014 (no offence intended to the other videos, I love you
all.)
Dr Who Fanfilm AMAZING
When thinking of my pick of favorite video, I would have to
say Fanfilm AMAZING for a few reasons. Firstly in the actually crafting of the
video I think it’s one of my funniest, and I really dig the editing on it. I
think I managed to nail pretty much every joke, and it’s one of the rare cases
where I watch the video back now and can’t see anything I would want to change.
The other big reason is that it feels like the start of
something. Originally intended as a one-off sketch it’s sort of captured my
imagination, as well as being loved by a lot of its audience. This positive energy around it has let it
naturally turn into a series of sorts, with a sequel released the same year, a
third in the works, and a Multi-Doctor story planned with other producers of
terrible fanfilms. It also got me talking said producers of terrible fanfilms,
who are all lovely crazy people and it’s always a fun time to chat with them.
So anywho, hello 2015! You can expect pretty much more of
the same, sketches, Squid, AMAZING fanfilms, and blog-posts. I’m not making too
many plans because I’m really excited to see how things develop. What will be
the next sketch to evolve into a series? What background characters will spark
into their own, warranting a video with them as the focus? What series will die
a horrible death in development hell? This is exciting. This is the adventure.
