AVATAR UPDATE
Added 2017-07-19 17:01:20 +0000 UTCEpisode 19 is exporting. Will be uploaded on here in about an hour or so. Episode 20 is being worked on right now. Well I guess it's not really being worked on right now since I'm taking time out to write an update instead of working on the episode to get it done faster. Well here is the update anyway hope it helps.
It is my hope to have episode 20 done tonight. HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
^^^^^KEYWORD: HOWEVER!!!!!
however: I CANNOT JUDGE HOW LONG THESE TAKE TO EDIT. It can vary with the style I edit with from 4 to 6 hours and I will NEVER rush these out. So if it possibly comes out in the late AM just know I AM WORKING ON IT IF I DIDN'T GIVE OUT AN UPDATE. I still plan on getting Book 3 up this week.
Not trying to yell just emphasizing certain points so there is less confusion and arguing today. Thanks for your patience thus far.
We are in the process of hiring an outside editor to help me out since it is still only me (SURAJ) that is full time.

2017-07-20 08:28:57 +0000 UTCAs much of the hype there is for the finale, its important to rest well and take as much time as needed :) Loving the quality of the video u put out and all those small cute closeup edits :D

2017-07-20 07:26:30 +0000 UTCI think the solution would be to stop promising or even Suggesting what days the videos will be out. Its better to have a surprise than a disappointment. But an extra editor would be helpful for us $10 patrons

2017-07-20 02:34:52 +0000 UTCWow, the response to this has been overwhelmingly positive and civil. Glad to see it. Anyways, I agree with most of what's already been said. Take your time, Suraj. I'm a bit of a perfectionist myself and I'll be damned if i allow sub-par work of mine to be seen by mortal eyes. lol One piece of advice would be to try not to make any solid promises about delivering things at a specific time, at least not during this stage of growing pains. A teeny tiny (a few sentences) update if something takes longer than expected should suffice for most people. And if it doesn't...well, that's their problem. Keep up the good work, dude!

2017-07-20 02:12:35 +0000 UTC"I still plan on getting Book 3 up this week." Clearly said he wants to get it up this week still, just won't be tonight

2017-07-20 00:51:08 +0000 UTCi'd rather have them taking their time in editing and stuff than getting rushed unedited tired reactions. So i don't mind book 3 being a week later than was told.

2017-07-19 23:42:50 +0000 UTCSo no season 3 this week then? Honestly dude just stop promising shit. There's a lot of work to do and id say no more announcing. Updates like this are great, but the inconsistencty has affected the channel in a bad way. You just have too much to do with not enough backup. Until you get more help, just dont do promises. Its better to have people wait and hype than promise and be let down every time.
2017-07-19 23:09:12 +0000 UTCYou the man Suraj! Thank you for never rushing these, it wouldn't be right ❤️

2017-07-19 20:00:49 +0000 UTCAppreciate your hard work, dude! I'm just exited its on the way, that hilarious editing it so worth the wait 💙

2017-07-19 19:56:23 +0000 UTCMy main man, instead of promising to get somethings here just say you will try, because it's getting annoying when you come to expect something because of a "promise" and not getting it. Just stop promising stuff. Anyways thanks for the hard work.
2017-07-19 19:01:55 +0000 UTCTake your time editing takes longer than most think
2017-07-19 18:54:17 +0000 UTCHOW DARE YOU DELAY MY SHOW I'VE SEEN ALREADY. NETFLIX WOULD NEVER DO THIS! /s if that's not clear.

2017-07-19 18:43:49 +0000 UTCThank you for the update Suraj, you don't know how important it is. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

2017-07-19 18:24:11 +0000 UTCI think the issue is that their patrons skyrocketed and now they're just going through growing pains. Also, at the end of the month right before payment was due, many people dropped their pledge and then resigned up a few days later to avoid paying. So the number that you see might not be what they are getting moneywise? And before anyone else can go full time or before they start hiring anyone they need to make sure that the income is stable.

2017-07-19 18:19:50 +0000 UTCIt's all good. Take as long as you need, just let us know if it will take longer than expected.

2017-07-19 18:12:33 +0000 UTCThanks for the update. I was just wondering under the $1500, $2000, $3000 and $5000 tier pledges, it was said you could support a small team of editors, 2 full time and a couple part-time. Are you able to do that? It seems like everything is put on you, with your actual work and that's super stressful for you!

2017-07-19 18:07:58 +0000 UTCFirst of all, you guys are putting hard work and passion into what you do and it still baffles me how much work and editing you guys get done in such little time. To me it's fine if the episodes get uploaded on the channel later than certain people expected. It takes a lot of time to edit it properly and thumbs up to you guys (especially you Suraj) for sacrificing your time to get this stuff out to the fans. Keep being awesome! :)
2017-07-19 18:03:08 +0000 UTCThank you for the update Suraj, I have plenty of Normies content to watch to keep me busy until you get the new videos up. I'm sorry that you've had to deal with some harsh Avatar fans. Most of us understand it's just you & you're working hard to balance this with your other obligations. To my fellow Avatar fans, constructive criticism is fine, but being rude/mean isn't. It's strange how many fans of the show never learned the lessons of balance and compassion that the show taught us. Seriously, take a lesson from the show and learn to unlock your chakras. Nothing is promised, not in life, not even the schedule. This isn't HBO, this isn't Netflix, this is just a group of people who are doing the best that they can. They have other obligations besides Avatar. Other shows they react to, like Game of Thrones which just premiered and Suraj probably spent hours editing. Beyond that, Nahid and Rana aren't around often and if they want to use their time with them this past weekend to film/binge more Avatar content instead of editing episodes, I'm okay with that.

2017-07-19 17:54:11 +0000 UTCwell we watched episode 20 live with you so skip that and give us season 3 episode 1 first lol

2017-07-19 17:35:37 +0000 UTCI hope the people who are very critical are using the same energy to show appreciation

2017-07-19 17:18:30 +0000 UTCbetter to see an update and know that he's working on it than bitching about where the video is all the time. He just said he's working on it, cut him some slack he works hard for this.

2017-07-19 17:06:23 +0000 UTCCan't wait to see book 3. Your editing is awesome so NEVER rush it, just like you said.
2017-07-19 17:05:57 +0000 UTCSuraj dont stress it. We love how the editing is done and we wouldnt have it any other way. All your work is appreciated man :)
2017-07-19 17:04:38 +0000 UTCit is a little frustrating being promised next wednesday then constantly seeing updates, dont get ma hopes up next time

2017-07-19 17:04:31 +0000 UTCTake your time, your work is always appreciated!
2017-07-19 17:04:00 +0000 UTCThanks for the update! It's better you take your time and make em good. I think people were just upset in weeks past because they didn't know what was going on. Keep it up homie
2017-07-19 17:03:55 +0000 UTCHave you thought about using final cut rather than adobe premiere? Since you use a Mac, the exporting time should be cut down tremendously.
