Epic(?)

I'm late to the party what with being away from my computer for a while, but I'm down with a long video, and with it counting as two.

A Person

Very reasonable. Set it up how you feel is best.

Mark Nocent

You have the agency, O creator!

Annalisa König

Sounds absolutely reasonable, in both regards.

Robert Griffith

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!

Valentyn

Hey, if you think it will work better this way, then yeah, definitely do it!

Jovan Ristic

Totally fine with this.

Evan

I trust your judgement.

Deran Wong

If the flow of a 20+ minute video is better than splitting the video in 2, do it! Unless an intermission really feels right.

MrFlaco

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.

Zachary Clemente

I would 100% watch a 20+ minute video from you.

Alex Bradley

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 :)

Stuart Gorman

a) seems fine. I watch 30+ min videos semi-frequently so it's not a big deal to me. It just means I probably won't watch it right when it comes out as I'll have to find the time, but I usually do so within a week. b) I honestly don't count how many videos you release or how regular they are - I just watch them when they show up - so I won't notice if you count it as two videos or not.

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.

Jason Parker

a) Sounds great. Looking forward to seeing something deep. b) Not at all. Go for it.

Kevin McSharry

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.

Aaron

Don't care even a little. Do what makes you happy. 😊

Oscar Barda

a)Awesome b)Neupe

Malcolm

Yeah, that sounds good for me

Josh Duff (TehShrike)

Works for me!

Eduardo Lavaque

I like longer vids. If you think it needs to be longer to get across better, go ahead.

gomollusk

Ok, phew. By all means, go for it. Seems like you've said a lot about this being an exception and not a precedent.

Ian Danskin

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.

Ian Danskin

The Patreon is set to charge only once a month, no matter how many videos I put out. So no double-charge!

gomollusk

B). Does that mean i get charged extra this month or that June's payment will also go towards the same video?

gomollusk

A). I'm really looking forward to it.

AV

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.

Alex Hambrock

Nah. Make it. Count it as whatever you need to

Cameron Petti

Yeah, I trust your judgment. If it wants to be a half hour, I say go for it.

Perfectly happy with a longer-form video and having it count as two videos.

Jules Chatelain

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.

dro

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

NewGender+

I'm okay with one extra large equaling 2 so long as its quality content

Hank

I find an extra long video acceptable.
