Low: The Early Years Of Strange Brain Parts

This Patreon exclusive video is jam-packed with goodies you cannot see anywhere else. Some of which has not been seen before. What was Strange Brain Parts like before the focus on comics? You’ll see plenty of examples of “lost media” that only exists on my backup drive. And I try to chart the evolution of the channel from bizarre videos, to movie and TV reviews. Finally, I end on the inspiration that led to a comics focused channel.

Stick around at the end for three unedited videos from the past.

There are a few production notes I’d like to add here.

In the spirit of the original videos seen in this look at SBP’s early, early days I decided to a more organic approach to recording the vocals. Ordinarily, I literally cover myself with a thick comforter to mute the room echo. I didn’t do that here. Nor did I do multiple takes, like I usually do. Instead, if I nailed it the first time, I moved on and didn’t do another take to give me a choice during the editing.

I did have another reason for this method. And that would be the ongoing accusations that my vocals are AI generated. I think that’s the main point of contention, because you’d have to be a moron to suggest the script or video has any AI content.

Anyway, I used this video to try a looser, more authentic (?) approach to the vocal track. But I wasn’t going to sacrifice quality. That needs to be said. I’m not sure this method adds more personality (because, you know, I’m a calm, kind of monotone person that has a particular manner of speaking to begin with) but it was only a slight downgrade to my usual set-up. To be honest, with minimal tweaking, I think the quality is pretty similar. I know audiophiles will hear a difference, but they’ll also notice the distinct similarity, too.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with this experiment. In fact, I’m thinking of adopting it for future videos. Mainly because it was done very quickly, which helps a LOT to cut down production time. And I think it does sound a bit more organic? I don’t know. It’s hard to make that call because, you know, it’s my voice and I hear it all the time.

Alright, that’s enough babble. Now on to Strikeforce Morituri…
