Discussion: Replacing Episode 7
🕑 Added 2021-03-19 16:47:10 +0000 UTCHello wonderful patrons!
As im sure most of you know by now, for some reasoon the video files of Montana and I watching episode 3x7 of Korra for some reason are not openable, and say they are 0kb. This means we effectively dont have a reaction for episode 7.
As a result, Episode 8 will come this sunday, as episode 7is kinda filler and can really be shown after episode 8 with no issue. The issue then becomes filming episode 7 again and turning it into a video by thursday. I don't have much time to film, super busy, and I have an AOT youtube video ready to go right now. So, here is the question. Should I:
A: Rewatch Episode 7, comment on things from a already having watched it perspective (Think "oh I loved this part! Baby skybison moments are always my favorite"), occasionally using our audio from the original watch over footage of the episode.
B: release AOT thursday to give me more time to film, it won't matter if I miss 1 thursday Korra premiere and post another video instead
Comment if you have other suggestions! Just know I do have every part of our original episode 7 reaction except for the footage of Montana and I visually (we have the audio and screen record)

hey maybe watch ep 7 again after finishing the season, that way it's more enjoyable to watch as you won't have literally just watched it + things will be different in retrospect

At least it wasn't 8
Not Amused
Honestly I’m glad it wasn’t 8 that got missed.

Don’t stress! You can always take a break and we’ll be right here when you come back
Artiom Parygin
Oh no! This is literally my most favorite episode of all show...

*audio with the channel image. So, ...option C? XD
Marta Baez Moya
You could just put the audio next to the channel image. If you want to delve more into any observation or analysis, you could add it, but the idea is that you do not work as much in the edition (like a podcast). Furthermore, the idea of "re-reacting" seems forced or strange to me. I'd rather hear your original reactions than see you reacting to something you already know

I've been there, tried working 60 hours a week and putting out 7 YouTube videos each week. I wish I could say it gets easier. People will understand if you have to take a moment to breathe. They me be upset and whine at first, but most people are compassionate at their core.

Honestly so stressed out rn about everything
Christopher Johnson
I think podcast is the best option right now given the circumstances.
Ashley Blue
you could also just release the audio here on patreon i'd be totally down for that
Rory Fitz
Peter would they be? I don’t mean with the actual words they’re saying in them, just a cartoon bubble with like a dot-dot-dot over who ever is speaking. And if that was also too much then just having the cartoons there would work too
Emerald Phoenix
Option C: Do whatever is less stressful for you and Montana
Peter Film
The word bubble cartoons is alot in itself haha
Rory Fitz
Peter if youre talking to me I don’t think it would take much more time than usual, I’m not saying to animate the cartoons, just have them there as static visual elements. Assuming one of the YouTube fixes is that people sitting semi in front of the screen helps to avoid copyright issues. Also it wouldn’t be in time for Thursday with this option, and the extra editing might replace any meme-adding that would normally happen. Idk it’s just a suggestion, I’m happy with whatever we get :)
Ashley Blue
honestly i would be fine if you released episode 8 on sunday and then episode 9 on thursday and just keep going like that. And then release episode 7 whenever u get the chance to do it well.
Brandon
Darn! Not gonna lie, I absolutely LOVE when you guys flip out (in a good way) over sky bisons let alone baby bison and this episode was filled with them! A re-watch wouldn't have the same reaction so I would settle for an audio of the reaction and I'd just sync it up with the episode on my end
Peter Film
Yo are you Tryna kill Kenny with workload haha 🤣
OmegaTheRed
I'd be completely fine with that. I personally think either would work. Because on the rewatch you can probably add more thoughts to it since the first time you're taking it all in while coming up with comments on the spot. Also B is much better for this.
Rory Fitz
What if you edited it with your cartoon avatars “sitting” where you would normally be and then put in a little word bubble cartoon over whose talking to give it a visual aspect? And if you stop the episode you can have your little cutscene with just you guys as usual but it’s just the audio with the drawing versions of you in place of the usual video version?
Peter Film
There's a few ways you could edit it without new footage and it not be a huge deal for YouTube imo. Depends what you have time for.
shady07
I’d prefer that over a rewatch of the episode!
Peter Film
It would be a much more difficult editing process, I've done that before and it's alot of posting and removing constantly to get it right. And without the dynamics of them reacting it's not as interesting/fair use friendly to watch so I expect Kenny wouldn't want too/have time for that.
Letts React
Would a podcast of the episode reaction work?
Rory Fitz
Since I’m not part of the AOT yet (as I am waiting till you guys start again from the beginning) obviously I want korra Thursday but I voted option B because I don’t want there to be extra pressure on you guys to refilm and adapt an episode in such a short amount of time
Dan Sullivan
If you have the audio could you possibly just use the screen record/reaction audio and just that? Obviously you’d have to fill some dead space for a YouTube version so you don’t get copyright struck, but I don’t think hearing the reaction without actually seeing it is THAT big of a deal. At least to me
