WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING?

[@bepsi6204]

PATREON=SHOWUSTHEFOOTAGE

[@sirBrouwer]

Some suggestions for the patrion: £1. Give you a thank you. £5. Still a thank you but if you keep it up for at least 12 month you will receive 1 xmas card from the hat crew. (Can be automated.) £20. A sticker notification on a office wall. £50 a mantioning in the video with in the credits. £100 your name will be linked to a item with in the office that is off importance for a video. £150.000.000 a date with Trott.

[@yantivity956]

sirBrouwer maybe a birthday card instead. That would mean a less concentrated delivery

[@jackrichards2]

I think more money so they can make more cool Vlogs and Car stuff. Alot of people keep comparing them to Top Gear. Lets make it happen!! Or a scrapheap challenge type show where they get welders to and designers to make them crazy cars that they design crappily.

[@sirBrouwer]

could also work.

[@blocksnstuff14]

[@Rhaelyx1]

You should do a Tesla vs. Trabant drag race. One car is the epitome of luxury, innovation, and cutting edge technology, and the other is a Tesla.

[@TheRealDerohneNick]

I'd love the full on drone footage, especially, if you could give non-commercial usage.

[@jrcbroolz]

Top tier: Receive a lock of genuine Trott Hair.

[@sirBrouwer]

jrcbroolz no top tier gets a date with the lads. (£190.000.000.000,- pp. for minimal 12 month straight excl. Travel expenses and all)

[@MrAntieMatter]

They better put a user cap on that or else you might suddenly see Trott without hair one video.

[@jrcbroolz]

....#ShaveTrott

[@tabithagonzalez5652]

I love all of your guy's content, from the vlogs and GTA playlists to the House Party clips! Keep up the great work!

[@paytonkerkes]

I really like that you guys do these types of update videos to keep us in the loop about what is going on. It shows that you guys appreciate your fans.

[@fionnburrows2639]

[@yutwob]

Hat Films are the only youtube channel I would donate to. If it helps you guys continue making content, with the possibility of even better content, I'm all for it!

[@julianarrieta7620]

2:22 Creggle with the sick burn

[@iLordNoob]

The most successful patreons I've seen, when the creators already produce a lot of content anyway, always have a £2 or 3 pound tier where you aren't offered anything but supporting content already being created. I would become a patreon in that tier and would be happy knowing it just goes to helping you produce content and make occasional vlogs, I feel like a lot of people would also be happy to do that and would free you lot from the burden of fulfilling complicated and time heavy patreon rewards that dilutes your video content.

[@ctulhuone]

one of the goals on patreon should be you guys in full cosplay

[@ctulhuone]

Owl this time it has to be sexy hentai babes

[@ashleighcollins8207]

ctulhuone Cosplay? Nah mate I'd pay for full drag dude. For all of them. Including Craig.

[@jameskilgour387]

Ashleigh Collins Especially Craig

[@EarthQuakeGaming9000]

#DropKickSmith

[@alzar197]

top tier, Craig comes to your house and sings happy birthday even if it's not your birthday

[@nikeeweston]

The walking away as they chat is genius, god how I love them all.

[@liamheatherington4157]

Trott: I'm not holding the camera *cuts to trott holding the camera I love hatfilms

[@Jofuish]

Why does this stuff remind me so much of top gear

[@bryanhenderson8155]

Three twats making a career out of their absolute twattiness.

[@kazumrah8944]

Everything they do is so top quality it could be a weekly tv show????

[@CLBellamey]

I was going to suggest them doing a top gear style show as a patreon thing... like they buy as shitty car each with the money and have to go on a long journey with it

[@jascalvt]

Still don't understand how you guys don't have over a million subs. You deserve it so much!

[@chrisnight2376]

I would accept Craig as a fourth member of Hat Films

[@Doomcraftian]

You should make a patreon award where you post vlogs every few days (like really low quality wondering around the office ones, just showing you like, fetching drinks and food and stuff)

[@saulmackie5988]

You boys are looking good! Thanks for the content as always

[@minor_edit]

Good evening and welcome to a night of the trotts

[@PierceArner]

Craig with that sick "Trott" burn. 10/10 - would edit again.

[@mechagoblin8768]

Can we have Hat Gear/Yog Gear/Trott Gear.

[@tatyboy1337]

Top Hat...

[@SolstaceWinters]

Trotp Gear

[@PiousMoltar]

Gotta be Top Hat

[@ryanontheradio8590]

Brit'N'Birb except they have to be fair and not script cars to break down like the Tesla Roadster

[@WonderlandHarls]

I can't wait for all these vlogs to come out!!!!!! :D

[@everythinggamingnow]

damn double 1080ti's, what you guys doin?

[@elizanix]

Honestly, I think a solid patreon bonus would be to give a monthly discount on Hatfilms merch. Its a minor thing, but I think it would be interesting.

[@MistressCha]

You might look over at some of the Patreon stuff and the tiers that Phil Defranco does. He's getting a lot of support on his and the stuff he's giving to his subs there is nice and top notch. Doing a lot of town halls with subs, then doing things like limited posters and mugs. You'd of course have to get with Mike to merch all that stuff for you. Poor Mike, I feel like I'm making more work for him. But as always, we'll support you lads whatever the case may be.

[@kipandcop1]

Definitely would support patreon, any behind the scenes stuff would be great reward tiers

[@megablablahblah]

Good things I've seen other content creators doing on Patreon is stuff like tutorials - talk us through the creation of a video from start to finish, or how to use AfterEffects, that sort of thing - and 'thanks' in the form of a list of patrons in the video description as a mini-shout out. Very high-tier donors (say, £20 or more a month) might get a verbal shoutout in the video itself, or access to PUBG or GTA livestreams - which I suppose you already do with Twitch subscribers.

[@ziksy6460]

I feel like Hatfilms are the only guys in Yogs who are still trying new things

[@QuadSmod]

Smith has lost weight, trott has new hair and Ross got an umbrella.

[@animeducky9]

They're literally becoming the next gen Top Gear

[@fauwrn]

How about for patreon..... #SHOWUSTHEFOOTAGE

[@Scammell555]

Having a monthly HatChat as a reward would be sweet

[@sam123safc]

What about a some sort of pass to play in your online games like when you's done pubg zombies or GTA online on a live stream

[@Jounzey]

Just look at Craig's tormented face! He still hasn't recovered from editing the House Party videos...

[@willruth2465]

Wow, I go to that place all the time. I've seen Lewis, Duncan and sjin but none of hatfilms unfortunately

[@simongodfrey4756]

I love the look Smith gives Ross at 8:22 ... just the biggest stfu uou pleeeeb ever.

[@3cheersforbullets]

I'm super excited for all this but REAL LIFE GOLF??? and a patreon thing could be suggest video ideas??

[@r-mur]

Personally, I like the idea of a Patreon account. I live in Australia and can never watch your streams because they start at 1:00am Friday morning and I have a full-time job that has me working from Monday - Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm. I miss a lot of quality content in your streams and a lot of the banter that we all love. It upset me a bit (even though I know it was tongue-in-cheek) to be called a fan-lite because of where I live and my work situation, especially since I've been subbed to you guys since your early Minecraft days and have watched every video daily as you upload them. I love your content and know that with more money, it will only get better. You have a very real respect for your fans and I know you won't disappoint us. My only request is this: if you do start a Patreon, make the lowest payment value quite small. I think you will find more people will support you if it is a small amount. Better to get a little bit of something than a lot of nothing. Keep up the great work guys! We all look forward to more great content! (Also, shoutout to Craig, who has taken a lot of pressure off the boys and allowed them to focus more on their content rather than filming and editing.)

[@cosymonkey4572]

Patreon yus :) Never used it, but you guys/the yogs would fo sho get my money. Given me lols for the last 6 years :)

[@payableondeath7]

£200 patron tier: Smiffy gets dropkicked into the river

[@arizonias9]

Instead of offering rewards, you should use the extra money to hire editors. These editors will help ease the workload, and you guys can do some cinematic series! Basically, I just want Stunt Lads back. Another channel, Neebs Gaming, are doing this exact thing and so far it works for them. It's worth a shot So basically, instead of rewards, guarantee us that the money will go towards higher quality content. That should be incentive enough for us viewers

[@reidderdevanis2508]

Call it the Yogscars

[@SCYAJ]

Would totally support a patreon, especially since you guys have already been providing free high quality content for years. Maybe have a tier for watching certain videos a day early or something. Or have a higher tier where people who donate to it can suggest a game for you guys to play, and randomly choose one to do? Honestly even if tiers didnt exist I love the current balance of vlogs and playthrough and that's good enough.

[@mentalflyer402]

How about a reward were you do podcasts again and patrons get to see it few days before you upload it

[@jamesmyers1647]

Would love hat chat to come back more frequently

[@chrissythekid0907]

I'd be happy to support a Patreon as much as I could (basically nothing) anything that helps you guys out is worth it in my books

[@GSXPR0D1GY]

Thanks Craigle

[@bluedusteyes]

Not gonna lie, I'd be okay with those three as the replacements for a proper Top Gear reboot.

[@emilygriffith4037]

5:48 something about that seagull captivates me

[@nortonrobey4021]

Love you guys

[@bunyan1446]

As a student and a long time fan I hope that if you do commit to patreon there is a £1 option with some even really small benefit as I would love to support you guys even with my limited income.

[@theformalmooshroom9147]

They should call it the golden lobes and have the award statues be golden coloured ear lobes.

[@awesomeaartvark]

That's a hilarious word Craig, nice choice, haha! And oh yeah, haha, I almost forgot about the America trip, those sound like fun too, can't wait! I don't actually have any ideas for the Patreon thing though. I believe I'd be able to contribute on Patreon, though I'd probably do one of the lower tiers, since I've already spent a lot this summer, haha. But I still think it's a pretty good idea, I feel like a good amount of people would be willing to support you there, regardless of the rewards!

[@holymonicle6537]

THANKS CRAIG

[@linuschilvers4086]

Patreon reward: GTA gameplay video filmed from a drone flying in the office. no edits but to switch cams you fly to the other screen!

[@Scardrone]

Dual 1080Tis!!??!!

[@jamesthompson2065]

delicious

[@FlurAhFlur]

They have it mining Zcash overnight apparently

[@A_Beached_Whale]

Wouldn't two 1080ti's in SLI be very inefficient cost-wise? I was looking at performance charts for the 1080ti's in two way, three way, and four way SLI as compared to using just one 1080ti, and, the performance increase was abysmal considering its performance to cost ratio when in SLI.

[@d2factotum]

It would depend what you're using the cards for. Yes, for playing games it probably won't make much of a difference, but for stuff like video creation that can make use of every CUDA core you can throw at it, it's worth it.

[@UltraSargent]

Yeah, I'd support you. I've watched for you years, you must be doing something right.

[@7DB97]

Ross with the casual £50 t-shirt

[@Yesidoplaytheguitar]

"The Yogscars" I'll walk myself out...

[@SGz_Eliminated]

Guys just do what Sjin did with the Chilliads thing and play some of those GTA races with your patreons. They'd love it and you guys can just stream it for a few hours. Win win all around.

[@noah.2B]

patreon would be cool, honestly even without any incentives I'm sure a lot of us would just be happy to support you with a little bit every month

[@crouton7109]

Hatfilms, I would love it if you did a fan meet up or something similar. I live close by and I'd love to meet you all without traveling up to London or Birmingham.

[@nuss5555]

If you want honest feedback on the patreon there are quite a few good examples online you can learn from from Philip Defranco to The Great War Show. I just thought I'd throw you my 2 cents: 1. Definitely plan everything out before the launch, because it is hard to roll out new perks afterwards as most people will just watch the patreon announcement video to decide if they want to donate. 2. It would be a good idea to have continuing physical perks that add value to each tier (like a new shirt or a sticker every three months). That way you do not lock off content behind a pay wall. You could even make these designs exclusive as an added intensive to join the patreon. Of course keep the bottom 1-5 dollar tier open for those to donate who do not want perks. 3. If you do want to lock content behind the pay wall, please chose something like "Behind the Scenes" that real fans will be willing to pay for, but will not take a lot of time and work away from the channel content. 4. Even if you think some reward tiers are too high, make them. There are crazy hatters out there who have a bit of spare income to throw your way if it means more video goodness.

[@ToxicBassUK]

If you buy tickets Smithy will open his eyes

[@josephbrittan8067]

5:50 Damn Smith, looking like he about to rangle some of the brutish oxs and make'm perform the hockey cokey 😍

[@norske5000]

Hatchat has to be a goal on patreon.

[@andrewpennington2389]

I can't believe that Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Pratt, and Pewdiepie get along so well

[@WafflePrince]

I occasional show my bro your videos, and every time he says to me: Why don't these guys have a show? We both agree that it should have been you three taking over top gear. One day... one day

[@rukey4855]

No pressure but you guys promised mini golf irl!!!

[@GrouchyGander]

Smiff! Open your flockin' eyes! No wonder you don't know how you got to castle park, your eyes weren't open!

[@MadeByForce]

I will gladly support you guys on Patreon :)

[@pez2401]

Top tier= Hat Films in FULL drag

[@SolstaceWinters]

Trott's shirt is the most epic ampersand I've ever seen.

[@Wolfencreek]

Can't go as I have to give a months notice to book time off .-. RIP

[@toby6407]

That crocodile on the left of Ross at 1:31

[@saulmackie5988]

Will happily be involved in patreon!

[@buscentral900]

Patreon could give access to a special Discord rank, get to play games with you, a special Discord voice chat session where people could ask you questions, add you on Steam, and name in the end of your videos or in the description. That's usually what KZbinrs do on Patreon

[@ThePlasticKnight]

You make me wanna live in Bristol!

[@Sebbir]

Yog Gears is happening!

[@07Meredith07]

If patreon means more travel vlogs sounds like a good idea to me

[@DJsquare3]

Give them $500 and they will play minecraft again for 5 min.

[@dreamcrusher112]

Just bring back Hat Chat as a regular thing for patreons

[@rennadonis5447]

You don't need rewards for people to join the patreon, people will do it anyway to support you guys we don't want any rewards, do don't worry about iincluding them. If you have none it's fine. Otherwise, yeah, make it like small stuff that doesn't require your time and can be automated or outsourced or whatever

[@sirBrouwer]

Renn Adonis like for 190.000.000.000 a month for 12 month minimum you will get 1 date with Smith. (Travel costs and all are still for you)

[@Tsakeli]

I think Patreon requires incentives

[@eDWICHt]

Fully agree. The only patreon I support at the moment (That Pedal Show - Check it out if you're an electric guitar nerd.) has no rewards, as well. And to me that's fine. I'd happily spare a fiver each month for whatever they're going to use it for, just because the lads have provided me with free quality entertainment for years now and I'd very much like them to keep on doing so.

[@Jegorex]

Tesla vs Trabant dragrace?

[@epc2224]

I'm happy to pay if it means better content like you've been doing this year.

[@juangnrnminecraft]

Dear Smith, trott, and Ross, It´s very simple, whatever you do, we´ll follow.

[@RousedPotato]

3:02 I could just hear the toy's sound!

[@FreakyLoserJiruu]

People love art but hate paying for it. It's a fair trade guys. You want more art/well done art... and when the artist *asks* for you to become a Patron- you freak. Why? Patreon will guarantee a budget per month. AND you as a Patron have the option on how much you're willing to spend per month! You won't get charged more then you want to. You only want to give $1 per month only once. Done! Having a set budget helps you plan for things. Budgets are a GOOD thing to have- they're necessary. Please start one Guys! I will gladly pay you for you art per month. I trust you and the quality of your work. I also trust that you won't abuse it and "thing" every little video. A couple of things I've enjoyed from artists I support are one time signed things like a poster or post card. Also, people seem to love mugs. Just putting that out there. All the best Hat Films!!

[@alfies98]

Just for a little background for everyone hating against patreon because of the trips they go on: A lot of the internation trips will likely be paid for by the company theyre going to visit.

[@timmityok8722]

Nominate Smith for best virgin-adult-male's reaction to a sexually explicit video game. For that last House Party video.

[@Stroyer123]

The "Dave! " is the only fitting name, surely
