Can't wait to hear what you want me to build!

Hey Film Worlders,

Micah here. So, tomorrow's episode will not be able to be on how to do the Annoying Orange effect in Blender. It's been a really busy weak for me and was not able to do it, but that doesn't mean you'll be without a good episode... I'll be showing you how to do the "dream effect" in Kdenlive! And I thought of a really fun skit to demonstrate the effect.

Also, BIG NEWS! After much thinking, I've decided to start a Film World Q&A show. I'm thinking Tuesdays to be the upload days since Sundays 
are for Premier Prep. Also, I need your questions. So there are 3 best ways to ask them,
1: Twitter: @Micah_Pendleton
2: Email: filmworld96@gmail.com
3: Comment on a video

I look forward to hearing your questions!

Thanks guys, I can't wait to start! I also need a good name, feel free to recommend one. I will also be sharing other's videos and news and such.

Till next time,
