My Chair Early Cut
Added 2025-06-17 21:40:02 +0000 UTCPatron,
Here is the early cut of My Chair.
This is what my entire life was dedicated to for the last eight months - and longer. I quit my job for this!!!
Only a few changes remain before the final upload, but this is pretty much it. I wanted to get it out to you as soon as possible, so, there is still no score, which is being worked on as I write this. I don't think the absence of music detracts much, though. Also, there's an incomplete animated shot near the finale that needs to be polished. If you want to wait for the final, final version, feel free to do so.
This cut cost $6 for free members. (On iOS it totals to $9 because of fees, so buy it on the computer) To those that purchased this, thank you. Your contribution will go toward repairing my camera, which gave out last month during a late night shoot. I greatly appreciate everyone that supported this project. If you were a longtime paying member who recently switched to the free tier, shoot me a message and I'll give you access.
I must also thank Thomas Mammoth, who animated almost all of this alongside me. And my lovely Kate, for living with the hell that I created. Theeb, for the incredible 3D animation. Julian and baby Magda, for the adorable voice acting. Noah, for the shepherd tone. Kevin, Haakon and Connor for being my friends. Mutti, Poppa and Elli for all the thrifting.
Most of all, thank for supporting me in making this. Let me know what you think, and please do not share this with outsiders.

2025-08-16 07:30:22 +0000 UTCThere's something genuinely scary about the way all those chairs enter the room. This should teach everyone to be more kind to their furniture.

Tutu
2025-07-10 02:48:13 +0000 UTCI'm trying to figure out the underlying meaning behind the drawing version of you is and what that represents in regard to your artistic career. I feel like there's a lot being said here that is just begging to be interpreted.

2025-07-04 02:42:20 +0000 UTCAt several times in this short did I audibly gasp, the insanity, no hold barred, was such a delight to see. I feel like I was freeze-frame-analyzing every shot I was so enthralled by the detail. Really, really, great stuff Eric.
