[SpaceboyA55]

wednesday because if you do thursday than you have the same thing as film riot and i like to have my film making shows spread out though the week.

P.s. why do you have your seat belt on?

[thefrugalfilmmaker]

@SpaceboyA55 Ummm... I have no good reason for this.

[MaximAvs]

Another informative episode!! As hard hitting as your videos are, I'm not sure you need to wear your seat belt through it! HAHA

I vote for Thursday!

Sean

[thefrugalfilmmaker]

@MaximAvs Hey, safety first! :)

[Trethero]

THURSDAY!

[hnatkowicz]

Thursday.

[TheSabotFighter]

@thefrugalfilmmaker Psst...! Because to be frugal is to be safe!

[cchrysostom2]

+1 for Thursday.

[mrphotographyperson]

Agreeing with @SpaceboyA55 wednesday for the spread!

[adamspartan]

Honestly, it's all whatever is convenient for you, man. Wednesday or Thursday. It's all good to me.

[hwugh1]

Thursday. As you have two seperate "productions" going on plus life/school/job. Permits the dedicated time for each production process with that all important "breathing room" needed so one doesn't burn-out. I'll be patient until you become an "official" Tuber and you can say good-bye to your day job. That'll free up what...40 more hours or so??? 8-)

[einartorkelsen]

safety first i see

[oyvwilmarbjo]

What program would you pick for editing on a mac? the sony one u recommended here works only on windows.

[SYZ]
