Epic(?)
Hello folks,
Here's a wrinkle: this Patreon pitched the release of videos at 10-15 minutes in length, and the script I'm working on now is shaping up to be something like half an hour. I have a personal rule that says "don't go over 20 minutes unless it's warranted," which is why I've only gone over 20 minutes one time. I could trim this script down, but I kind of really like it? But long videos also take longer to make.
So, two questions:
a) how do we feel about this?
b) would you flay me if I counted it as two videos?

Very reasonable. Set it up how you feel is best.
You have the agency, O creator!
Sounds absolutely reasonable, in both regards.
Now you have me curious as to what awesomeness you have in store for us that needs a half hour of breathing space. Looking forward to it!
Hey, if you think it will work better this way, then yeah, definitely do it!
Totally fine with this.
If the flow of a 20+ minute video is better than splitting the video in 2, do it! Unless an intermission really feels right.
I have no problem with this idea. Long form criticism is always a joy to sit down and watch, and if a single video is best at keeping it cohesive then so be it. Best of luck.
I would 100% watch a 20+ minute video from you.
a. .The more important thing is that your work is something you're proud of; if there's no reason to split this piece in two, don't :) b. unless we get charged per video, I don't know why this matters at all :)
I have confidence in your art; you'll make a good video whether its 3 minutes or 3 hours. I also don't have unreasonable expectations of output: I know that making good videos has a time cost for every minute of video. Each video does not take a set amount of time to create, but I do expect a reasonable amount of time making video content every month. Even if it takes 2 months to make a really long video, that's fine.
a) Sounds great. Looking forward to seeing something deep. b) Not at all. Go for it.
Since its not a per video pledge anymore I don't really care about video length and I'd actually be excited to see different kinds of of videos that run the gamut of lengths. Shorter 2-6 min videos would be cool too here and there if you've got something interesting that wouldn't stretch to fill a regular vid, even if they were less polished. Whatever the material dictates. You do what feels right to you.
Don't care even a little. Do what makes you happy. 😊
a)Awesome b)Neupe
Yeah, that sounds good for me
Works for me!
I like longer vids. If you think it needs to be longer to get across better, go ahead.
A). I'm really looking forward to it.
B). Does that mean i get charged extra this month or that June's payment will also go towards the same video?
as a person who spent a great deal of time trying to get a video down to under 20 minutes and then gave up, I say go for it. I've never known you to waste my time.
Nah. Make it. Count it as whatever you need to
Yeah, I trust your judgment. If it wants to be a half hour, I say go for it.
Artistically ... the material tells you what length it wants to be, and I always respect that. I would have no problem with counting it as two videos.
I love longer videos if the length is needed for the ideas. If you split it into 2 videos does that mean waiting till next month to have the full concept of the video being explored? Cause having to wait a long time in between two videos that are meant to be a same topic would be painful
I'm definitely not splitting it in half. If I don't do a long video, I'll either trim it down to under 20 minutes or release it in multiple parts all at once in a single playlist.
I'm okay with one extra large equaling 2 so long as its quality content
I find an extra long video acceptable.
