This is a dumb dumb dumb video, albeit the first video since Musical Chairs I've given a Patron-early viewing thing, something I should try remember doing more often. This is a very very dumb video. Watch it if you must, but I warn this is a dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb video.

Hoowee, it's Vivlog time!
For the first time since I got my fancy new camera I went to a convention, likewise I thought it'd be fun to record myself doing the rounds and having the fun... What I didn't expect was to end up with 4+ hours of footage by the time I got back, meaning I had a ton to edit and plop into a video. That being said, it is now done!
Videos of this length are not something me nor my computer is used to in any way, the render took 10 hours to complete and I rendered th...

Woop woop, so yesterday I started working on this out of nowhere and finished it a couple of hours later. Because of its spontaneous nature and the fact that I wanted to get my schedule out as soon as possible, it means I didn't send this out for Patrons a day early like I have done with the majority of my previous videos. I hope you will forgive me.
Anyways, despite the fact it's supposed to be an "Announcement", I had fun with it. Hope you enjoy this dumb goof of a video!

Hello hello! It's time for some news!
For those whomst read the past few updates I've made you'll know I've been working on a thing on the side, that thing being the second part to the Questria miniseries over on AntonyC's channel. As of the past couple of days, that is now finished and is watchable up above!
The majority of the animation of the above video was done by me, albeit the first minute or so was done by Antony himself. This is another one of those "Brony Analyst Collab" things...
2017-08-01 08:53:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey ho! Just a super quick check-in because I updated the "Goals" section of my Patreon.
Previously I had a $450 per-month goal up there essentially saying "I can regularly go to international conventions", but I took that down because it was rather vague and nonspecific, and I'd probably need significantly more than that if I wanted to regularly travel as per mentioned anyways.
I also wanted my $600 goal, the Trigger Happy Horses one, to be front and center, because I'd really like to c...
2017-07-20 09:44:42 +0000 UTC View PostWhoa now! Very impromptu update coming your way, as a week ago I never would have guessed that this is where I would be at today.
Let's cut to the chase: Due to a very very generous contribution by my buddy AntonyC, I'm going to BronyCon this year! Honestly due to the large money sink travelling overseas is for me I was going to skip out on BC this year, but now everything is basically set in stone for me to go. Likewise, if any of you are also going to that convention, feel free to say hi! Ta...

Hey hey, guess what time it is: It's "Man this song needs a music video, I'm gonna make one" time!
This project, like most, came off a whim of a point of a nonspecific time, and now it's a finished thing for people to watch and have fun watching.
A couple of quick disclaimers: First, no horses (blasphemy, I know). Second, this isn't the finished version of the video, I have some bits and pieces I want to polish first before I go making this thing public, but damnit I've been working for ...

Hey hey, spontaneous "I should probably make this video today" video today.
I always keep telling myself I want to make more quick easy short-term things like this so that I can keep content frequent, albeit I don't often have the drive or a good excuse to do so. This time I fortunately do, and I also used the opportunity to give it a little goofy 30 second sketch at the start to preface it too. Those are fun to do.
Anyways, enjoy the thing, music video hopefully coming soon!

So I guess these post-month updates is just going to be a regular thing now. In any case, besides my April Fools video (Which I hope all y'all enjoyed) I haven't uploaded anything the whole month, but that doesn't mean nothing has happened over on my side.
First and foremost, I'm halfway done with a sporadic music video I started a few weeks ago, that of which you can see in the above screenie as a quick tease. I'm certain that'll get done sometime this month, so I hope you look forward to tha...
2017-05-02 09:31:09 +0000 UTC View PostHello friendoes and friendettes; Super short update today.
First, updated the text over on a few of the rewards to make sure they're consistent with my current format (New endslate and all).
Second, I've updated the $10 and $30 tiers to not include the Patron-exclusive Skype group anymore. This is because it has essentially been replaced by the respective Discord server which not only serves the same purpose, but is fancier and has a better paint job, including public access and the such...

Hello and welcome to another new instalment of "New Viv thing!"
First and foremost I must address: Patrons did not get this video a day early. This is because I only finished the video today and wanted to make sure it got uploaded today (April 1st, for those curious... No specific reason definitely not).
But, as a compromise, I'm going to make the download of the song free for all Patrons. I'm gonna put it up for purchase on one of them music websites (Still deciding on which exactly I'l...

Heyo! It's me, Viv, with a couple of pieces of news.
I went and released this above video a little earlier today, and in the video I suggested perhaps adding a goal to my Patreon that would lead with a continuation of Trigger Happy Horses, and likewise I went and did that accompanying this post.
Trigger Happy Horses is ripe for continuation following the Danganronpa formula and all, and I've got ideas written down that I'd love to see go up and get finished on my channel. Likewise, I've ...

Today's finally the day.
A quick reminder for those who don't quite remember... This was originally a Christmas project, I thought I'd get the whole thing finished by December 25th 2016, something which was a gross gross miscalculation on my part, but it sparked from a stupid idea I had on the 5th of December (I for whatever reason committed that date to memory) where I wanted to make a Danganronpa parody.
The thing is, when I want to parody something I appreciate as much as Danganronpa,...

Basically, this is a complete repeat of last time: "The video I said was going to be finished by the end of the month still needs some work to be put into it", still referring to my now 2.5 month late Christmas project. Here's the good news: I was putting this post off because we are literal days away from its release. I'd say a week at the very most, an...

Mostly minor stuffs (Like changing how the images look, as they've added an in-built image thing in the tiers-section) and one major update, the inclusion of my new Discord server.
Quick lesson for those not versed: Discord is a text and voice chat service where you can go chat with people in groups known as "Servers". Very recently I've made my own and it's been filled with...

Hello friends and friendettes! I have some good news and bad news.
The bad news is that the video I had slated for completion back in Christmas is still not done. I grossly underestimated the amount of time it would take to complete it.

Hello everybody! I have some good news and some bad news to deliver:
The good news is that for the past month practically straight I've been working on a sudden burst of inspiration passion project that I thought would be really cool to do as a Christmas video, to sort of tie the whole year together.

Hello once again! After such a long time without any proper new animation, I return with... An advertisement? Okay, it might not be the most graceful return to form, but this is somewhat of a big deal and a long time coming for me.
Basically, long story short I was approached at a convention by Lunar Shine whether I wanted to get a plush of my OC made, and I was like "Hell yeah" and then we kept in touch, and after a long set of back-and-forths a plush toy of my OC was made, and it's purchasab...

The slog is over! Well, somewhat. This isn't an animation, but it's still a regular old dumb fun video unlike the majority of what I've put out within the past few months, and I'm glad to be back to doing it.
Next week is the end of University, which means going back to a regular schedule, which means more videos you guys totally deserve! The past while is easily the slowest I've ever been in video product...

Hello Patrons! Last month I didn't end up releasing much (The only things I ended up releasing were an episode of Vivcast and the above "Episode Review" video (Which was a thing I had fun with, go check it out if you want to)), but on top of that there was no new animation released. That marks this month as the first month I've been paid for but had no new animation to release, so likewise I feel I owe at the very least a status update.

Hello again! New video just went live and you're probably wondering why I'm posting about it again... Well, I reconsidered using the endslate included in the previous version and went and had it removed for the public version.
I felt like an endslate on such a short video kinda ruined it, and I'm pretty sure one big reason people liked my original old videos was because of how short and snappy they were... And if I'm going to have an endslate on one, for consistency's sake it's better to have ...

The ugly: I've taken down 26 of my older videos from my channel, due to unfortunate recent happenings.
The bad: This (On top of a couple other things) means that the video I had scheduled for today didn't end up getting finished. It was gonna be my first non-pony related animation thing, but that'll need to be pus...

One thing to note: In here I have an example of what my new endslate looks like, so everybody has context for the "Gold Patron" and "Huzzah!" tier rewards.

Hello everyone! This is first an announcement that Brony Polka Animated is a thing that I'm making, and second (And more importantly) that I'm making a big Patreon-related update.
First, I've updated my Patreon from "Per creation" to "Per Month". This is a change I wanted to make as per the fact I didn't want to charge for the above animation (As it is technically incomplete), but I know there are still definitely people who want to support me despite not technically having anything "finis...

For each of my Patreon tiers above the $10 tier, the idea is that I do a thing (Or things) personally for the person whom pledged the high amount.

However, not only is said list inconsistent and hard to keep track of, some people ask for alternatives, some peop...

Once again, apologies for this for the lack of Patreon exclusivity. I promise I'm not trying to make this a consistent thing!
