P.S. I highly enjoyed the interplay between the "two" of you, but I support your decision. I look forward to seeing new material from you besides just the Week in Review. ^_^
First thought is I'm really digging your animated Wilfred J. Pemberley, although I will miss the plushie talking if you make a permanent switch. So it's up to you 'cause I like the character very much. There are pros and cons to going either way. Using the plushie is easy, simple, and with the right puppetry techniques you can convey a lot but you miss out personalizing the character in a way that is truly unique that stands out from the other plushies like it. I don't know, maybe you could depending on how willing you are to modify the plushie and your sewing skills - not to mention is the plushie a collectible, etc. Animation is a ton of work and time consuming but you can personalize the character a great deal in ways you can't with a plushie. Anyway that's my chain of thought regarding the Wilfred.
My second thought is that this week I noticed that the feel of the written blog and the video blog felt closely the same. In some places they were word for word the same. Not exactly a bad thing, but not exactly a good thing either. Not sure what your aim is here. If "Gray" is one persona that gives critical, intellectual reviews of people's work then I when I sit down to read the written review I expect a different tone then when I sit down to watch "Wilfred" who is grumpy, snarky, and delivers his own brand of humor as he presents people's work. I guess my question is, are you trying to make "Gray" and "Wilfred" two different personas that run these reviews or have I made the mistake in my own head by designating "Gray" and "Wilfred" as two separate personas? I ask because to me Wilfred clearly comes across as his own person with his own opinions without apology while Gray will take the time to explain his reasoning. The other reason I bring this up is because I enjoy both versions of the review for different reasons. Since having been introduced to Wilfred I now read the review to see what Gray has to say and to learn from it, and then I watch Wilfred to enjoy the show.
As for the persona, I really wish that I had come up with the WJPemberley character before I started making Youtube videos. If I had, my channel probably would be named after him, and that would be the only persona you ever saw. As a content creator, I'm constantly trying to come up with a brand that people like, and it appears (at least based on the viewing figures) that Wilfred is a far more effective entertainer than I am.
Having said that, the problem with separating the content in the video and the blog is that it requires a lot of extra effort on my part. A week ago, I could handle it. But now that I'm committing to the new animation style, I have to direct most of my attention to that, rather than writing the two separate reviews. In the future, probably after this year's episode of Year in Review, I'll probably drop the blog altogether and commit fully to the video version. I've always wanted to drop one of them, and commit all of my time and effort to one, but I haven't really figured out which one to stick with. Having Wilfred around makes me more comfortable with making WiR video-exclusive, whereas before I was more comfortable with the written format. Time will tell.
As for buying the plushie... it would not, and could not, be the same as Wilfred. ;)
