Mansion Basement Cover
Added 2016-05-29 05:36:04 +0000 UTCHey everyone. Thanks again for the overwhelming support here on Patreon!
I'm super conflicted about something and I'd really like to ask something important. I'm actually finishing up recording for the Mansion Basement cover from the Director's Cut of Resident Evil. This was the reward for the second stretch goal I reached on Patreon! For those who haven't heard the original, take a listen:

Now I have planned to do stuff around it and I've put a bunch of work into it, but here's the thing.
I'm on the fence for charging you guys for this one for a ton of reasons.
The reason I'm against it is the cover is a bit shorter, probably less than two minutes and it's kind of a joke cover. I have certainly fleshed it out in a cool way I'm proud of but I'd hate to charge you guys for a cover that's a bit, well silly. Also I haven't yet decided how I feel about charging for videos that are stretch goals.
The reason I'd LIKE to however, is I can see how many people's payments process and be able to hand out the rewards to the people who have paid very soon! Alternatively I'll have to wait until July before I can see all of the payment processes after the Game Over medley releases since Patreon pays out by month. Also I put probably just as much time into this cover as I do others, as well as this being ironically probably the most difficult single song I've had to learn and transcribe.
I just really want you guys to feel good about supporting me so I'd like to ask your permission before doing this. Please let me know in a comment here or on Discord your feelings and whether or not you'd feel comfortable about it. I'd also be happy to share the work in progress if you are also conflicted. Thank you guys so much for everything!

2016-05-29 09:59:44 +0000 UTCI can't speak for everyone but I think it's safe to say that the majority of people who have chosen to support you know that you may be prone to make some more jokey videos every now and then. I think most will understand and just want to support you making music no matter what it ends up being. Tldr: stop being so fat and just do it :D

2016-05-29 08:15:11 +0000 UTCWhen i discovered your channel, all i could do was appreciate all the effort, time, and patience you put into each video (i still do). So since i finally found a way to support you, i'd probably pay for almost anything you put out.

2016-05-29 08:03:18 +0000 UTCI agree. All I wanted to say was just mention in the previous comments :) I will help you Jules. I wont let that happend that you have to break up making covers becouse of that stupid money. I don't wanna see you as a cashier working for a big fast food restaurant :D

2016-05-29 06:42:05 +0000 UTCI concur. I am happy to pay to support your music and you clearly described this as a stretch goal :)

2016-05-29 06:36:44 +0000 UTCI agree. I have no problem being charged for this. I'm supporting you to continue your creativity and the decision to support you is based on all the varied content I've seen from you over the past few years. Similar to what Michael Lang said, I also wouldn't want to discourage you from trying something because it "wouldn't appease the shareholders", to use a corporate analogy.

2016-05-29 06:15:29 +0000 UTCBeing able to make videos exactly as long as they should be is important. It doesn't matter if it's 2 minutes or 20, it's using up your time and your time costs you money and I want to help provide that money so I can keep getting these great videos, no matter how long they are. And I especially don't want to discourage you from trying something different and interesting just because it might not be "long enough" to warrant charging. Obviously I can only speak for myself, but I'm more than happy to get charged for that kind of content.
