Predalian5 (WHAT HAPPENED??) New YouTube channel

For those of you who have already read what is going on, skip the first paragraph.

Hello. Now if you are a subscriber of mine, I have an unfortunate announcement. But if you're looking at this picture... then it should be self explanatory... but for info's sake. My account was Suspended. Now, as of April 26 I have no further information to provide. The previous entry I made with the Email is all I can offer. I have filed 2 appeal forms and nothing to show for it. My old network has completely abandoned me. But I'm a little happy at that. They had me locked in on a contract and they were taking almost all my earnings. So, thanks for that. You money grabbing, greedy, selfish corporation. I look forward to never working with you ever again, and I'm ashamed I tried getting my buddies to join your network. Anyway, so yeah. I have a 90% most likely reason as to why this has happened, but I will make no official announcement until further information has been brought to my attention... but honestly, by the looks of it; YouTube's well known fear of "Copyright laws" has screwed me over. Well what's being done about it now? Here's the breakdown

Currently, since I have no info on my old Youtube channel. I have brought my attention to a plan.

Phase 1: I simply cannot re-upload my old videos. I would but when I tried doing that YouTube questioned if they were really mine or not. Mainly because a few people have been re-uploading my videos. So please, do not watch their videos. I am the real deal. Here's my new channel

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcLuPusax8AyWqGnsWV_ZZg

K Universe is my new channel. If you've watched my Old videos my intro started with "Predalian5 Entertainment" and "K Universe Pictures" so here it is. Anyway. So that's phase 1. Getting to the viewers and letting them know what's going on.

Phase 2: Re-Upload and Make season 1!! 

I am Resounding all my old videos... kind of. Since I have the original animation file I am in the works of fixing some animations and re-sounding them. I even have a new intro with music and stuff. So anyway. Why did I say re-upload AND make season 1? well. I am going to re upload yes, but I will also be finishing old fights. This includes Giganotosaurus vs Vastatosaurus vs Tyrannosaurus Rex which was uploaded as an unfinished fight in my Sub Special. Anyway. If you see this picture I have named the main video "Jurassic Rage 2!!!" why? Season 2. I want to start off my new fights with a new generation of stick figures and you get a taste of them in that video. I will accordingly re-upload "new sticks" and re-name it "Season 2 trailer" (The video where the little Dinosaur says "I have completely forgotten my line" lol) so that's Phase 2.

Phase 3: 

After Season 1 is complete I will begin with the plans I had originally intended for my Predalian5 channel. I will begin new segments this summer. I have appropriated one of them already and it's gotten a good response. So here are some of them

- Behind The Scenes
Basically I just record my animating process and upload them. yeah... lol

- Commentary
So I'll play the fight, then play the behind the scenes segment in a little faster rate. The fight will go as fast as the script I make for the fight. I'll talk about what went into the fight, what motivated me, why I chose who won, Was there anything interesting going on? examples could be like Spinosaurus vs Vastatosaurus. I could mention that: "before I became better at animating, this fight actually only took me 2 hours to do. I remember that day clearly. I had just finished announcing my new stick figures and was testing them out. Especially since I believe I made the best Vastatosaurus Rex figures in Pivot. I'm not usually arrogant but it does look a lot better than others I've seen so far. Or rather, around the time. Because now people are better than me" something like that.

Wasn't that an interesting fact to know?... well... at least it'll give you something to watch. I sometimes go around YouTube looking for channels to watch lol

Time lapses: I will play the entire recording process within a few minutes so you can see how much time goes by while I animate.

Podcast: Before I animate the new fights I will upload a podcast of me and other animator channels discussing the new fight and who we think should win the next fight. Basically the goal is to give a full, un-biased opinion on who should win.

So that's all the ones I have for now. I will most likely try do more because I want to do more with my channel and provide a lot more content

Phase 4: Just... continue. 

If none of my new plans work I will just only continue in behind the scenes and actual fights. So please, give me feed back on the new segments, what can I do to make it better, give me criticism, Give suggestions. I really hope you guys will support me because I want to try and go full time into this. I know it's crazy but some people do this as a career

EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT!!

EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT

Currently, as of April 17th, 2015 9:52 PM. My account has been terminated. This is not a joke and I hope you have it somewhere inside of you not to joke around. Yes, My account was terminated. If you have liked or Favorited any of my videos you'll find that it's currently unavailable. I can't even access my account! I can't look at it, I can't watch my videos, the best I can do is log into my Google plus. I won't remove the rest of the thread YET. I might because this was supposed to be about updating my channel and stuff so If I start off fresh I might as well remove this. But don't worry. No plans are being made just yet. I do have an idea of what I might do but this whole thing is screwy. Now I'm sure you are wondering. "Why did they suspend you?"

Here's my answer: I know just as much as you do. I got am email saying I violated terms of service however I didn't do anything to warrant any legal action. That's all they said. i tried Email, My partner network, Youtube help, my google email, I have nothing. If there was literally anything else I could tell you I would. But I don't have anything yet.

Solutions?:
As I stated earlier, I do not have any plans yet. However I am considering one. I might just move everything to my Katol Steele account. That's all I have for now. Until I hear back from YouTube this is the best I got. I'll keep you people updated first! Also if you'd like to read the email here is it

My personal opinion: You probably guess that I am a little upset about this. I mean... I didn't do anything wrong. Personally I'm a little more upset about the fact that this was going to be the summer of vids! I was going to provide more content and the channel was actually doing really well. I was top 10 in my network, I was almost at 10 thousand subscribers!!! my videos has millions of views! I'm not going to get that back. Not for a few years anyway. Well, hopefully you guys will support me if this all goes downhill. Please help me rebuild myself if necessary. Thank you all for reading

Also please support me and subscribe to my second channel, I might re upload everything there

Major announcement and your help

(You can skip the first paragraph)

Hello. My name is Katol. I have worked on Pivot for a good amount of years now. I started from the bottom and eventually made my way to be known in the small portion of the Pivot community. The Dinosaur community. I remember the first day I was introduced to pivot. Me and my cousin went to visit my best friend and I saw Link on his computer. I was interested to see what he was working on. I knew it was an animating program because I would watch animation shows on YouTube such as eddsworld, and Super Mario Bros Z. In behind the scene segments, they would show what programs they animate on. I tried getting Flash and all that, but being a kid. I had no money. Anyway, I asked him what he was doing. He said he was animating a sprite on Pivot. He told  me about it and I went home and downloaded pivot. After animating a few fight scenes of stick men, I jumped into it like I've never jumped into any project before. After learning how sprites work, I decided to animate Godzilla fighting. I made a stick of godzilla which was... not so bad. But another thing was I already had intense interest in Dinosaurs and monsters such as godzilla. I also watched Jurassic Park 3 around the time I started animating, and Tyrannosaurus being my favorite Dinosaur, I was upset he lost in the Spinosaurus vs Tyrannosaurus fight. These 2 things are what set me up for the upcoming few years of my life, and is also what would build up to; Jurassic Rage.

Why did I bring that up? well. Today's post won't be about the next fight. I want to talk about something important. A... "jump starter" if you will. I know what this sounds like, I have not set up a Kickstarter/ Indiegogo/ Go fund me for anything. Not even a patreon account. But, that is one of the things I want to talk about. But first, I want to talk about my channel.


YouTube: I enjoy animating Dinosaurs very much, and I'm glad I can make stuff some people enjoy... Well... I did said "some" *cough* haters *cough*, anyway... After being partnered up on YouTube, I have learned that, Providing more content is... a good thing. I already have my main segment, Jurassic rage, and recently "Behind the scenes" But. I want to see what else I can do with channel. For those of you reading this, I was going to make a discussion segment where I live stream the next fight, make highlights and upload to my main channel. I'd feature other animators to talk with me to see who will win, and why we think they should win. The idea here is to give the best unbiased opinion and that will determine the outcome of who'll win. The main point is, I'm hoping new segments will work. I want to increase content as much as possible because animation isn't supported as well as it should on YouTube. Which is something I also wanted to talk about.


Does Animation have a future in YouTube?:
Well, from the way things are going. I'd say it doesn't. A while back YouTube changed how earning are done. Before, you'd get money based on views. That was a good thing because animation parodies often get a lot of attention for being creative and well thought out. It also didn't rely on how much they'd upload. Someone could upload monthly and get over a million views, and STILL make a decent amount of money. That however, has changed. Now YouTube's earnings are determined by "Watch time" and is also determine by how often you upload. People who upload daily will get HUGE earning, and as you know. This is near damn impossible for animation. Me being at the VERY bottom of the barrel in animating. All I can say is it's very discouraging. YouTube is kinda screwing people over with work that requires hard work (Not just animating) It favors people obnoxiously screaming at camera's while they play a game. Hell, People make TONS of money just for uploading game play. They can make thousands without even including a commentary. I mean... damn. 14 hours of work can make next to nothing compared to someone recording a play through of something like Halo. I now understand why people upload vlogs, behind the scenes, "the making of" etc. Recording a few minutes of work can be hours in real time. Just... pushing for more can result in "extra's" that look like not a lot of effort was put into it. So it makes content creators look like sell outs. It's just sad really. I mean, I'll still animate. For sure, but I don't even know what to do.

Solutions? :

For those of you who don't know what Patreon is, This is a site where you can set a monthly detonations to "content creators". Basically you're showing your support for the work you love watching or looking at. Now, originally I hadn't considered doing this. Because the majority of people I saw going on was people who made beautiful artwork on DeviantART, and has rewarded people righteously like Sakimi-chan. But then I saw that, people who just review movies and shows for some reason can still qualify for patreon. Apparently it doesn't matter what you're on there for, but as long as people support your work, then Bam. You're on. So I was considering doing this, as my animations are something that some people enjoy. Maybe people would like to support my work. I have no idea. I think after I open up more segments and get more attention, THEN I will. But, for you hardcore fans reading this on wherever I posted this, send me a Message on Facebook or YouTube and please, tell me if you would support my work. Even just 1 dollar a month would help me out a lot.

Anyway, that's what I wanted to talk about. I'm going to try do more with my account, and hopefully you'll be there with me. The more watch time I get the better earnings I get. Meaning more content. Keep your eyes on pages like this, hit me up on youtube, and subscribe

Re doing, once again

It surprises me to note that I've been busy.... I've ACTUALLY been busy lately.. HA! I usually don't have things to do, aside from my anime, University hasn't been bothering me with work. It's all stuff I can read and then put down on a paper and I'm done.My student film's been the busiest lately though

Anyway: So once again, I stated I'd be finishing some "part 1" videos and that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm quite enjoying this fight actually. The smoothness is what get's me... maybe a little too smooth. The walking out of frame in this scene's a little slow. While I purposely changed my animation style to give the Dinosaurs more weight and to give them a "large" feeling, this scene was... clearly shown to me, that maybe I should speed up a little more. Well as soon as they walk out I'll do exactly that. I know what I'm going to do to end this anyway

Well I didn't want to leave you readers of my pages in the dark, so you get a speak preview. So thanks for reading!

Upcoming Fight List!

So since I'm on break I decided to try be more time efficient and I'll upload more content AND even more behind the scenes, such as this picture. But before we begin the main segment I'd like to talk about the behind the scenes stuff first. I know it might have been a little boring, just seeing me change colours and all that fun stuff, but for future segments I decided to try and add commentary, where I talk about the animation process, talk about certain subjects (for example, during the Tyrannosaurus vs Spinosaurus fight, I could talk about what my opinion on the both of them are and what I personally think of the whole Spinosaurus hate) But I'm waiting on a better mic for that, But I'm also planning on adding a Beta segment where I use THIS mic and see if it works.

Now on to the main topic, So since I'm on break, I'm not going to waste time doing nothing, I will contribute to doing all the things I love. Like gaming, Designing, and all that. But I will be mainly concentrating on Animating and designing for my anime. Before I continue, I would like to say that the Tyrannosaurus vs Carcharodontosaurus fight is first because A LOT of people complain about who won, and who should have. So I will do an alternate ending segment for that one. I also might consider that one for other fights. But I don't know right now. So as you can see, I decided to continue the fights that I did a while ago. I actually have most of these fights started. I just need to finish them. Also, you may or may not have noticed the list says "Most likely" and the reason for that is, my animation fights are inspired by me thinking "man, wouldn't it be awesome if these 2 fought?" and sometimes my motivation isn't there... that's actually kinda why I don't want to do a "part 2" for the Carnotaurus vs Savage Dilophosaurus fight (Funny thing that just happened actually, I typed that in and thought "Hmm.. did I get that" and I looked at the picture I was going to use [before the one you see already] and I noticed I forgot to put it in AHA HA! So I guess that says something to me. I may or may not do it, but it's half way done already so I might as well do it) so anyway. That may or may not be the order in which the fights come out but for sure it's all these ones.

Alright thanks for reading, BUT. I would like to just talk about one more thing before I close this off. So, I mentioned before; the reason for all these behind the scenes things is I want you guys to feel like you're doing this with me, But it's also because of my partnership. Those guys help me out a lot and I'm glad that Bent pixels picked me up and now I get a little something for animating because you guys like my content. So, go ahead and apply to their network right here:

Hopefully you also will get joined up and get something back like I am

New fight and Important news

I'm fairly proud of this fight. It's actually kinda long. I usually do half that to get 30 seconds on my videos. But I still actually kinda cheated with this one. I wanted to re upload the "Tarbosaurus vs Ceratosaurus" video because of false copyright claims and I actually wanted to fix the ending... I ended up animating a whole video's worth to fix it up. So.... yeah, Lol. One thing tho, I tried to be all... "artsy" to make up for the fact that my videos will be dull. Which is what this news is about...

From now on my video's won't be as... "Fast paced" any more, Why? well, recently I've been I've been getting tons of comments and PM's about my fights being very "Unrealistic" and while people fail to realise these are PIVOT STICK FIGURE ANIMATION FIGHTS I apparently represent the most realistic and carefully calculated actual results of the fight if whoever was fighting came up... So... I guess from now on  It'll be slow. I'd like to make the update that my video's will be slow, and kinda not fast... like... really slow, and to anyone who liked my previous style. I'm sorry. But I honestly couldn't take it. Besides, people complain so much I wouldn't be surprised if the minority that represents the old generation of animators weren't even there any more. So yeah, old style gone, new one on. So yeah, the shift in animation isn't that "I'm not good enough" any more. It's just adapting to people's tastes.

well that's it for today and thanks for reading!

Moving on to other things (Update!)

As you're reading this you may be wondering what this image is for. Assuming you're as smart as you're supposed to be by now. I'm animating real animation. Now that's not to say pivot isn't considered animating. But this however is a much larger leap. Especially since it's anime

I know I haven't been updating at all recently but believe me. I've been pretty busy. I recently have started an anime company and trust me. It's not easy. I've been designing like crazy! and now it'll be harder considering that I put mega detail into it, also considering the fact that it's very time consuming. Not hard at all. But time consuming. I made a new intro with one of my character's hair blowing in the wind (As you can see in this screen shot) and that alone took me a few weeks. But then again I was away... well anyway. I think pivot definitely helped me a lot with animation. I mean, look how apart those lines are. That's all thanks to pivot!

But things will be harder now considering I was recently accepted into university and I hear it's going to be MEGA Hard. I'll try finish something before September since that's when I start. Recently I've been pretty busy with things... and some... stressful stuff. Like breaking up with my girlfriend. I miss her a lot... Not only that, I failed my Driving test. DAMMIT! (Why tell me to turn somewhere if I'm not allowed to? ASSHOLE!)

Well anyway. I'm sure what you're wondering by this point

A: are you still going to animate Jurassic Rage?
B: What are you working on?
and finally
C: Will we get any content soon?

A: Yes. Don't worry. I have not given up on the fanbase at all. I will try bring content asap and I'll try my best. Please be patient with me. I just turned 18 (Legal here in canada) and I have to do all this important adult stuff.... including having my wisdom teeth out soon (NOOOOO!!)

B: well... it's kinda a secret. We will upload teaser trailers via our website and our YouTube channel. I will also post one video on my channel to show you guys what I'm working on. This will be a long road.... but It'll be worth it. I designed the most detailed characters possible to give you guys the most well drawn and smooth animation ever.

C: You will get something very soon. I have most designs ready and I will try do as much as possible for you guys, and to those reading this. Thank you very much. It means a lot to me. That you guys try keep up with me.

As always. have an awesome day!

Update: oh! and also I’m looking for a new sounder! please PM me on YouTube, or comment on Facebook, or Tumblr!
