So as thanks for charging with no video here's an unreleased short film we have been showing at festivals around the southeast. It is maybe still my favorite short I've ever worked on. I am very proud of it. Password is WWRT. Please don't post it anywhere or anything like that obviously. Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Hey I'm going to go ahead and charge y'all for the video. I'm gonna try to get someone to upload for me tonight and if not I will be home tomorrow and will do it ASAP. I'm gonna see if I can show y'all one of my unreleased short films in the meantime, working that out now. Thanks so much. Sorry about this. Might try a different platform for early releases to prevent this in the future lol

I haven't tweeted about it or anything but I'm at a film festival in North Carolina this weekend screening our film What We're Reading Today! so I physically can't do anything about recutting and re-uploading the video. I'm gonna try to get someone else to upload it to Vimeo or Google drive or something but I don't know how that'll work out. So I might have to charge without giving y'all a rough then get it in Monday night or something. It's very frustrating and I feel bad but I also didn't do a...

I filed a dispute, so fingers crossed. It's for a ~37 second clip in a 39 minute video lol

Don't know how long it'll take to upload but I have a ~39 min rough for the Burnham/Repeat Stuff video done. HOPEFULLY it'll upload by like tonight but my internet is awful. If it doesn't upload by Monday I might have to charge before it does but I don't think I'll have to. I had so many technical difficulties making this one but I got a rough I'm proud of done and I really hope it's uploaded soon haha There are a lot of little changes I want to make and it's def a potentially controversial vid...

I'm (obviously) a big Cicierega fan (he made Spirit Phone, the only album I've ever reviewed haha) but even outside of that I thought this was cool- he and his friends have this new series called Ernest Roulette where they watch Ernest films and discuss them. It's similar to Best of the Worst only it's less adversarial and more affectionate and sincere. I really dug it and was sad it didn't have many views so I figured I'd link it around generally and more specifically on here because it fits pr...

Wrote a lot more for the Repeat Stuff essay and might talk about how I love the aesthetic and design of the music video and how "Satanic pop monster Burnham" would make a great horror villain and on a whim decided to design a fake horror movie poster based on the idea. Iconography from the video in the form of the severed pig head and illuminati symbol and the pig's eyes being his demon eyes. Gave him faded background demon horns and he's standing in a huge pile of hearts. Our printer is out of ...

So I don't know much about the technical specifics or the industry standard specifics of this overall, but I've seen a lot of times where someone who worked on a music video will have an upload of that video on their personal vimeo account as part of their portfolio far separated from the youtube upload that has millions of hits or whatever. Vimeo is a more professional website and to my eye (and from quick, very unscientific googling) it seems like vimeo compresses videos less. Or, sometimes, v...

I was going to review/analyze the FMV game Late Shift but the script got longer and longer and the topic broader and broader so I decided to hold off on it for now. I really enjoy Sweet Home and decided it would be fun to review. So here's a review of a Korean horror webcomic!
I need to tighten the edit up, put in more examples of images, screen recordings, and maybe cut repetitive lines and redo any times I really butchered the Korean language, along with maybe add a gag at the end about how ...
2018-08-30 11:33:42 +0000 UTC View PostHey! Writing a script on the game Late Shift, FMV games, and "interactive storytelling" in general. Shooting for a 10-15 minute video with this one. My internet was out for like four days so I got slowed down a lot but I do want to at least get an early release version out before the end of the month. We'll see! Thanks for the support!
2018-08-23 10:42:41 +0000 UTC View PostWHAT???? AAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Thank y'all so much! I'm a little bit floored right now! And very excited because at 600+ vs ~340 that gives me a lot more breathing room at around two videos a month. Thank y'all for the support!!
2018-08-18 13:23:57 +0000 UTC View PostWow! Thank y'all so much! I'm floored at the influx of support!
I just wanted to note that I'm pretty much always working on longer-form videos but I also do short and simple game and movie reviews here and there on more current (or relatively current, ha) media. I honestly just write if I feel like I have something worth saying and write until I feel like I have a complete thought/video. Sometimes this ends up with a 3-5 minute review, sometimes the reviews (like the Hereditary or Spirit Phon...

Gonna have to re-edit this to escape copyright gremlins uuughghhggh Other than that the VO montage at the end is unfinished, the volume mixing needs to be evened out, I'm redoing the end credits, adding more subtitles, doing better book visuals on the David Mitchell bit, censoring Jacksepticeye saying "dick", and other very very small changes. But it's 99% done. Any corrections or notes this weekend would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I have several more people I'm still getting stuff from but I thought this would be a fun/quick update video. Here are some examples of the voice work I've been collecting from people. Glad I thought to do this because it adds so much to it and people are funnier than I am and have readings I hadn't even considered haha Might get a game review out before the end of the month? I dunno! Work continues on fake friends 2 as always.

two quick clips of Graham and Devon (who those of you who watch our short films would be familiar with) doing youtube line readings for me for fake friends 2
the subject matter is daunting and depressing so I'm having fun with this one where I can aha
2018-07-11 07:23:17 +0000 UTC View PostBeen making headway but I've fully committed to getting a bunch of friends to do voiceover for most of the weird comments at the end of the video and getting all that done is going to take some time in a way that's out of my control. But I think it will be really fun. If you keep up with youtube stuff or my short films especially you'll probably recognize some of the voices! I'm getting them to read off bizarre/horrible stuff lol.
I was considering getting the rest of the rough 99% done and ch...

I'll probably put this out next week just to space stuff out. It's completely done though! Gonna try to get the next Fake Friends out by Saturday night but we'll seeeeeeeee

Final edit on the Hereditary review/hybrid video essay and review/whatever is about 1/4 to 1/3 done. I think it'll be 20-25 minutes long? I want it to be less flashy than my other reviews but I still want there to be visuals/movement so I am working on simple motion backgrounds for it. Just stills or promo images from the movie with a little bit of light/movement added. These are rough but I'm having fun/trying to do something different (like the sketches in the DnD video).

Woo! Already charged so I won't be charging for it. Thanks y'all!

-Did some sketches and shot some goofy live-action stuff for the DnD video
-Wrote a long/personal review for Hereditary to record soon and wrote some of a review for Subsurface Circular
-Am getting some VO work from friends for the next parasocial video. Have been working on editing that too but at this point don't wanna rush it
-Also lots of work on short films and etc
Thanks for the support!!

I needed to get SOMETHING done this month so here's the start of a new video essay series. I want to fact-check some stuff, get permission from people I show in it to use their images, and do some quick drawings and film some goofy short stuff on my phone. But the vast majority of this is done so this is closer to an early release than a rough. I had debated charging twice for the parasocial ep cause it's so long but I didn't feel comfortable doing that so I finished this most of the way to cha...

Hey! So I will probably try to get one or two short reviews/essays in before the end of the month because this project got completely out of hand but I still have bills to pay. I know this series is what everyone is waiting for though so I figured I'd do something I don't do often and upload a VERY rough version as a "thank you for your patience" and as a preview. Here's a look into my editing process! Some segments are basically done and some just have VO and no visuals or music or clips (idk ...
