Catchphrases (WIP Video)

Here is the WIP of the upcoming video! Obviously missing many elements like animation, but the bulk of the essay is all there!

Hope you enjoy it! The final version should be out early next week!

Catchphrase Script!

Here's the script for the upcoming video. This is the editor version of the script, so it contains my directions and links for everything going into this video, as you can see IT'S A LOT!

This will also be a collaboration with fellow video essayist La'Ron Readus from Readus101 to help give the video some American perspective!

Say The Line Bart!

I'm turning my attention now to the next video which will be all about CATCHPHRASES!

The topic is turning out to be quite meaty! So while I'm finishing off the script, what are you favourite or notable catchphrases. And do you know of any interesting anecdotes surrounding them?

Exclusive Content Podcast #09 - feat. Rik Bowley

Due to Christmas, Covid and Cloudy, this podcast is both late and lacking in a special guest. So I bagged an EXTRA special guest - my son, Rik!

So consider this just a bonus episode and we'll be back to more grown-up guests next month!

The Changes To Cloudy (lessons in essay structure)

So as you may have noticed with the Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs video, it is VERY different to the WIP edit I had shared before.

This is because I felt the video lacked structure and appeal.

When conceiving the video idea, I felt it resonated so much with 2022-01-19 12:33:50 +0000 UTC View Post

Following the latest video, here's a 9 minute vlog where I go into more (and unscripted) detail about my personal struggles with validation and self-esteem.

WIP: Seeking Validation With A Chance Of Meatballs

Hey all! Here is a WIP draft of the next video for you to check out! It's missing elements like the end card and animation, and there's still some parts to finish up, but it's pretty much all there!

Let me know what you think!

Seeking Validation (With A Chance Of Meatballs)

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs is one of my favourite animated movies and digging into this movie more made me realise a lot about myself. The constant need to seek validation from others. It's something I've struggled with I think my whole life and this film made me realise some hard truths. Yes, this movie where food falls from the sky like rain.

Attached is the script, we hope to get the video made in the next week or two! 

Happy New Year!!

Exclusive Content Podcast #08 - ANNUAL EDDACHE REVIEW

The year is at an end, so let's look back on the last 12 months of Eddache videos and learn some lessons from them, so I can improve the channel (and myself!) going into 2022!

Health News

Apologies all for the delays to some Patreon perks, such as updates, the podcast and commentary etc. This week has been rough with some health issues, particularly as my son has been diagnosed with covid, but also an entirely separate bug has knocked me out of action. It's all a bit grim, but hopefully in the coming weeks I can catch up with stuff.

What Is Goofy (WIP)

Hey all! The turnaround on this video is almost as nuts as the video itself. Here is an early rough WIP for you to check out! (with an excellent thumb chosen by YouTube)

It's missing animation (which you can actually see now over on our discord, it includes some Patrons YouTube comments pop up!), the end card with Patron shoutouts etc, plus other edits and refinements.

Scrapped Jackie Chan Script

As I had to scrap my original idea for a Jackie Chan script, here was the script I began.

I imagine I will pluck out what I've done here and put it into a new script for a different or broader topic so you can have the privilege of seeing it here first! 

Note, this is an editor version of the script, where it also has timecodes for the editor to use and areas colour coded.

What Animal Is Goofy?

As I mentioned in the last post, I had to scramble together to make a script in a couple of days, who here is a rather batshit script about what animal Goofy even is! Because it turns out the answer isn't as obvious as I thought it was (but, to be clear, he's definitely NOT a cow).

EDIT: Oh, I should add, this is an editor-version of the script, so you can see all the directions I'm providing to ...

Is Goofy A Cow?

Hey all, so lets get some Eddache updates!

Production has begun on the next video, but it took some wild turns.

For most of the month I have been looking at the back-catalogue of Jackie Chan movies. I grew up watching these films with my dad and my brother and the step ladder fight is one of my all-time favourite action scenes. So my plan for the next video was going to be an analysis of how Jackie...

Buzz Lightyear WIP

Here is a WIP of the next video! I'm worried about how much I lean into the Lightyear stuff at the start as it affects the topic of the whole video which is more about the character study of the toy Buzz rather than anything to do with human Buzz. So I will probably rewrite and re-record segments this week. But you can enjoy how it looks for now!

If you're interested in the production and what goes into the editing side of this, here are the notes I shared to the editor:

Buzz Lightyear: The Toy Without A Story

For the next Eddache video, I've decided to look at Buzz Lightyear. And literally as I was writing the script, like the day I begun it, the trailer for Lightyear came out. How strange!

This is an analytical look at the Buzz Lightyear character, what he represents, his pivotal role in the movies, why does he have no character arc and what this could mean for his upcoming human counterpart.

IMPORTANT: Change In Patreon Payments

Hey gang! 

As of tomorrow (November 1st), I will be changing the way Patreon charges Patrons.

Instead of charging at the end of the month for the month just passed, it'll be paid in advance for the upcoming month. So for example, if a Patron joins now, they could in theory access everything first and then be charged for payment later. Now, they'll be charged before accessing the content.

What does this mean for you existing patrons? Pretty much no change. You still have...

Cooking With Eddie (Complete Collection)

So during Tom's "Last Week" series (I'm going out on a presumption most of you know what that is!), I was called upon to do a guest spot where I vlog my day. I struggled to figure out what to fill it with and included an attempted parody of "Baking With Layton" (by Daniel J Layton). I basically filmed a lot of shit and Elliot employed some YouTube Poop tricks to make it fun and watchable. So when another guest spot arose some months later, I repeated that formula, editing them myself inspired...

As you probably saw in the script and WIP video, the video has gone through a lot of changes. So I break down the different versions of the video's intro and why it kept changing before landing on the current version.

So is Casper Dead or Not?

An early Halloween treat! This video went through a LOT of changes, you'll notice a lot differences between this, the script and the WIP posted earlier this week. And I'll break those down for you in later updates.

For now, enjoy this strange thing about a ghost boy who may or may not be actually dead.
