I am excited to announce a new weekly series of videos!
This Week on Newgrounds (or TWONG for short)
I have debated making something like this in the past, but got stuck trying to decide on a cutoff of what should/shouldn't be included.
Instead, I decided to just dive in and make episode 1! Now I'm hoping to receive some feedback from you guys. Do you like this how it is? Should I take out some things? Include others instead?
Let me know! I would really appreciate the feedback.
Cheers
Hmm. I think you can start with a question like: Who will these videos be catering? I don't know how interesting it will be for the people who are unfamiliar with newgrounds finding these videos on youtube. Vice versa, when you make these for the people here the information is already pretty much available.
I'm just going to do a suggestion here, but is it an idea if you make something centered around animation and additionally music etc. in general. Like what if choose to present the weekly top 5, which usually features quality content. Go a bit in depth about them, maybe pm the particular artists asking for addtional commentary from them or collect some info from their social channels.
Also maybe like butzbo mentioned, an interview or anything else that's not necessarily only relevant to the particular week. Or better something that even fitting to the subject of that particular week. So if like now there's a animation tournament going on, asking someone who won the past NATA to deliver commentary on entries and their experience on events like those in general.
Also I wanted to say something about the video not coming across very lively, then I read butzbo's comment on the lacking of background music. I agree, it needs some of that. Maybe you could try to arrange the use of featured ng songs from the same particular week of the video. That would be dope.
I actually had a music track in the video, but cut it out because it wasn't a very good fit. I ran out of time to find a new track to replace it. I'll be sure to include it next time.
I'm excited about the possibility of interviews and such. But the series might need a few weeks to find the appropriate tone and all that. I'll make sure I am confident in things before I bring other people into that whole mess.
Thanks for the feedback!

Wow, great that you could begin this new project!
I llisten to a few animation/videogame podcasts, and every once in a while I wonder if there could be a Newgrounds focused one; and this seems like a good start in video form!
Nice you could make a video edit of the awarded works; I'm not exactly sure about the best way to do it, but it would be interesting to have a bit more of comment on the awarded submissions.
Also as you mention it , it would be cool to have a segment of announcements for projects by people who has gone through the comminity, maybe even some brief interviews.
Oh, and a bit of bkg music from the AP would be nice too :)

Commentary on the top 5 submissions, and bg music from the AP are the two things highest on my list! You'll for sure see that in the next episode.
Thanks for checking it out man! I loved Dog Box Collosseum :)
