Pikmin But Really Really Fast! + Roadmap

AHHH it's a new video! First thing to note is it's a bit of an incomprehensible mess, at time of writing I haven't yet done captions but if you want to understand what's being said (Which for this video in particular is optional) come back once they're done.

IT'S ROADMAP TIME

Okay so I've got a plan in mind for the next couple months and want it laid out just so y'all know what's going on:

June: Stardust Crusaders But Really Really Fast (Might not be done before June's over?...

New video - Death Note But Really Really Slow

... ... ... ... ...death... ... ...n...ote

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Battle Tendency (Part 2) But Really Really Fast

WOW it's a new video!

So today (March 12th) is my Birthday, and as a birthday present myself I wanted to make sure I had this video done in time for it. Part of that present to myself was deciding last minute to make the video immediately public as opposed to giving Patrons 24 hours of exclusivity. Hope you all don't mind!

The previous JoJo video was literally the biggest hit my channel has ever had, which is why I'm as excited as I am to put this video out. With it I decided to g...

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Phantom Blood But Really Really Fast - And a couple other things

Heyo! New video out (And was intended to be out before January ended, that obviously didn't happen- Likewise this video was intended to be January's video). Chances are this will be a little confusing for those of you who haven't watched JoJo (I recommend it, it's a fun show), so I hope the moving colours are at least enough to satisfy y'all.

New developments have been underway the past while, including two videos I contributed to on two other channels:

Christmas Will Be Soon - A Lemon Demon Beat/Lyric/Music Video

I stayed up all night finishing this video off, it's now 7am. Not because I have a deadline or anything, I was just so jazzed about this video I wanted to show it off to the world as soon as possible.

This is the first video I've worked on with my new fancy computer, replacing the one I'd been working things out on for several years now... And wow how did I ever live without it. The process behind the development of this video was easier than it's ever been, and instead of restraining myself f...

New Way Out Lyric/Beat Video - Yes, two in one day

Hey again! So if you read to the end of last post you'll know I said it would have a sister-post, and here it is.

For clarification, these videos are essentially precursors to eventual future music videos, the intention being each beat and the timing of each lyric is carefully tracked and displayed, that of which I then use in the final video for timing purposes. Making these was pretty quick and only took a day or so for each, so I could definitely make more if anybody wants them, albeit only...

When He Died Lyric/Beat Video + Update post

...So this will require a bit of explaining. Let's rewind to about a month ago.

Shortly after stating I would be finishing Brony Polka Animated before the end of the year, I noticed I was getting a bit behind schedule, due to not only a bit of inevitable burnout, but also working on and wanting to release a third Viv's Spook Stories (That of which obviously hasn't happened yet, probably gonna make it a "Nightmare Before Christmas" thing now) and most notably due to a diploma course I've been w...

New Animation - Death Note But Really Really Fast

Uhhhhh so Halloween came early I guess?

I wanted to take a quick week off BPA to start working on something for Halloween... And ended up getting this done way way sooner than I was expecting. Likewise this is my designated Halloween video for the year (Because it's about death, so, like, spooky, ooooo), 

In any case this was actually really fun to make, I'm already looking into making more "But really really fast" videos like this one (Potential subjects include Kingdom Hearts, Und...

Brony Polka Animated - Part Two

Hey hey, so this might be a surprise for some of you!

Yes, for the past couple of months I've been back on full production for Brony Polka Animated, in preparation for AliCon 2018 just this weekend. It was extremely difficult to keep this a secret for so long but now that it's out there, here's part two (of three) of Brony Polka Animated!

Everything up to Sister Hate is completed for viewing, with It'll Be Okay done as a bonus too. The story behind that is Tubby Wubby Pony Waifu (The bit...

Big Things On The Way - Post-August Update

Hey! Let's cut to the chase: The past month has been super busy for me, so although I didn't have anything to post the entirety of the past month, I've got some exciting things on the way.

• First I've been putting a ton of work into my part in the new Bronies React (Coming... Hopefully this month on ACRacebest's channel). It's the most work I've put into a Bronies React so far, so I'm looking ...

Friendship is Confusing - Patron Exclusive "Lost Episode"

Hey hey, so if you've watched my 10 Year Anniversary video (Which I recommend you do so first), you might recall me mentioning the "Lost episode" I was gonna make Patron-exclusive. Here it is, "Friendship is Confusing"!

There's not too much to it, for all intents and purposes it was a test video, but considering it was a pony video I had made before I actually got big as a fandom creator, I think it's a neat pi...

Who is "IMMATOONLINK"? - 10 Year Channel Anniversary

Today is July 19th 2018, ten years ago today I created the YouTube Channel that eventually became my livelihood.

I wanted to give a retrospective and history on the ups and downs my channel has gone through, showing how my channel evolved over time.

Hope you enjoy!

Patreon Page Update - Minor Rebranding & Clarifications

Hey! So this update was somewhat long overdue, there were a few things on my page super out of date and I went and fixed/reworded them just now. Go double-check your current pledge tier in case you want clarification.

Here's a few patch notes, the biggest changes include:

• Every Discord Patron role is now completely permanent (If you're a Gold-Tier Patron for one month, even if you stop being a patron you'll keep the Gold-Tier Patron role). Technically it's always b...

Twilight in Wario Land 4 - Doors 3 Submission

Hey, it's a thing! This is a special occasion as today's video is a video that'll be exclusive to patrons for about a month, up until the final Doors 3 video gets released.

First, for those who aren't aware: Doors is an animated collaborative work where a bunch of animators get together to string together a set of scenes together, with each animator getting complete creative freedom with what happens from door to door. Technically this is "Pony Doors" which is a completely different series of ...

Birthday - Animation Insights

Wow how long has it been since the last super proper honest-to-god proper-ass video?

Today I'm releasing the first episode in a new series I'm calling "Animation Insights", essentially a spiritual successor to Vivcast. I know I'm a good rambler especially when it's something I'm really involved in, and I know many of you enjoyed my rambles in Vivcast, however I personally wasn't too much a fan of how disconnected from my usual work it was, and also its lack of editing made it feel kinda cheap ...

The Post-May (And April) Double-Monthly Update Spectacular

Hey hey! It's been a little while since my last monthly update, embarrassingly. I'd meant for my "April Video" to be posted super early May to supplement the April update post I didn't make, but that didn't end up happening due to... Well, honestly I had other projects in mind. Now that May's come and gone however, I notice it's the 2nd of June at the time of posting this and I didn't have anything ready for the start of that month either. So, here I am posting on my Patreon page to get words on...

Magic Trick Bonus Stuff (+How it was done!) - Patron Exclusive

Wow! It's a Patreon-exclusive video thing!

This video is essentially me detailing how I did everything, with some bloopers thrown in at the very end. Go enjoy that!

In the meanwhile I'll detail what's been happening on my end the past few weeks:

Between the date I released the Birthday music video and today, I'd gained and lost a job, due to a complicated set of circumstances (Essentially I did the best I could during the 3 week training period I had before proper work actually sta...

22 Cool Magic Tricks!

New video, go have a watch!

Nothing early for patrons because I only just got the video finished and I wanted this out for April 1st, however I've got a Patron-exclusive video accompanying it coming instead... Tomorrow. It's 6am and I've got some sleep to do first.

See you in a bit!

Birthday (Lemon Demon Animated Music Video)

It's my birthday! Let's celebrate with a new music video.

No early patron-exclusive time (Nor endcard) for this one, both because I wanted to make sure this was uploaded in time for the 12th (My birthday) and also because I felt an endcard would ruin the ending of the video.

...However I'm considering perhaps making a patron-exclusive behind-the-scenes type video for a future date instead. How does that sound?

Anyways, hope you enjoy this new surreal experience for your eyeballs. 2018-03-12 18:58:40 +0000 UTC View Post

The "Whoops February is only 28 days long" Post-February Update

It was an odd thing staying up until past midnight, casually checking the little calendar thing at the corner of the computer screen, and seeing that it'd passed over to March when I thought I still had half a week to make the changes on my Patreon page I said I'd do before the end of the month. Yikes.

With that being said, I do have some good news regarding the future, so let's quickly get into it.

First, the "Work for the dole" nonsense that had been eating away at my time and energy t...

Putting brain-thoughts together

"So, what now?"

That's a question I've had stuck on my mind for at least the past month or so now, regarding the state of my content production and my life as a YouTuber. It's a question that I've somewhat avoided asking myself for the past year, because I somewhat naively thought "Hey, everything'll just work out". Needless to say, that isn't the case, so here I am asking myself this question now.

Before I go any further I'd like to quickly clarify something: This isn't a d...

The Second Day of Chrasmas

Wow, it's been a while since the last Vivshort, hasn't it?

Surprise! It's Chras 2! I'm as surprised as you are, my original plan for the end of the year was to finish Brony Polka Animated... When I realised that wasn't going to happen in time I switched to a smaller-scale music video to do instead, which turned out to be a bit larger scale than anticipated... So next option was to make another Vivshort, and wow I forgot how much fun these were to make.

Way way way back when I used to mak...

A Super Secret Extra Video (And Post-November Update)

Hey hey, it's your friendly neighbourhood Viva here!

For the sake of because this is almost standalone, I'm posting this video exclusively for Patrons (At least up until the next Bronies React is done and finished (As this is a mini skit for the next Bronies React)).

For those unaware, Bronies React is a series I participate as a regular in, where a bunch of silly people make silly reactions and jokes and skits for an episode/movie of the pony show. I know from the title it sounds like o...

Scott and Manfrey - Japanese Dub!

So this is a thing I did for Japan Ponycon earlier this month, something I was considering posting early for patrons like I've been trying to do with most of my videos... Before realising that I don't think any of you would find any value in it. Maybe I'm entirely wrong and I do have Japanese speakers/readers here, but uuuuhh I'm willing to bet that's probably not the case.

At the very least you might find it entertaining that I don't quite know what I'm saying. I mean, I kinda do, I have stud...

Viv's SPOOK Stories... TWO! - Patron Edition

Hey hey friends!

As is tradition over here on the Viv channel I wanted to have a spooky Halloween video done for Halloween... However I discovered that my idea was a tad bit ambitious, so until I get that done (Likely mid-November or something?) here's Viv's Spook Stories Two!

This video I was probably gonna make public for non-patrons immediately (Because it's supposed to be for Halloween, and Halloween is quickly closing off), but because I don't spoil you enough (...And the video got ...

The Post-September Update - Brony Polka Animated's (Rough) Release Date!

And so another month has passed, likewise it's time I continue keeping you guys updated. So! What's today's topic? Brony Polka Animated!

It's been a while since I've restarted work on this project because of how insanely monumental it was from the beginning- Once I'd finally released the teaser I was super burnt out from the project as a whole. The "This will be released by the end of 2016" note at the end of the teaser was less a realistic goal and more a goal to give myself a deadline for th...

irma - the worst video I have ever made (early patron version)

this is a terrible video

this is a  terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible video

my moral compass requires that I state that I wish the best for those affected by hurricane irma, I mean no ill will and I can't begin to imagine the stress and labour many of you have to go through because of it. I hope you all stay safe.

...with that being said, here's my newest video, "irma"
