Final version is now up for everyone!
I've edited the previous post to contain a .wav of the 'goodbye horses' song for backers. Thanks again to Zoe Blade for working on short notice to make it!

Hey you!
Here's the backer version of Climate Denial: A Measured Response. The next video is definitely absolutely no take-backs Night in the Woods next time. It was meant to be before this but I hit a stride with the research I was doing into this and couldn't stop.
Please find enclosed Zoe's goodbye horses cover. :D

Hey folks!
Here's a bunch of stuff I cut out because it wasn't relevant and the video was already too long!
Please find also enclosed, Nina and Zoe's cover of Dare they made for the end credits, including versions without vocals and without drums!
I'm working on the Night in the Woods video now, but as I mentioned before, after that I'm going to start giving $10+ patrons the ability to vote on the next video from a list. Just as a preliminary check, please leave a comment le...

Hey folks!
Every five or so years, I become briefly re-obsessed with the 1986 Transformers movie in an attempt to reclaim my childhood and stave off my fear of getting old and disappearing into the cosmic emptiness of death. This is a video about that, I guess.
This is a style of video I don't think I'll do very often, unless people seem to like it. It's a bit more loosely scripted and personal than normal.
I ad-libbed for like four hours so there's a bunch of stuff I have s...

This is a segment of the Woke Brands vid I removed, all about the guy who tweeted the picture of his razor in the toilet.
I went back and forth on whether to put this part in the video for ages - in the writing stage I looked deeper into his channel, found stuff I could make fun of, and wrote it down just in case. A lot of it felt unrelated to the video's theme itself, and I feel like I've been very bad with long tangents lately. In an early draft of the video I had a stronger theme of ...

Just a reminder that Woke Brands is up for the public now! I'm actively checking for people who should have been in the credits but weren't so I can chase up Patreon about it. In a sec I'm posting something I cut out of the vid, and also a higher-rez, slightly edited recording of the editing stream :)

Get in here!
If you miss the stream a high-rez archive will go up later :D

Hey folks!
Here's the backer version of the next video, about recent progressive commercials and the way they channel the culture of social media. This version doesn't have music and I haven't added the credits yet, because I'd like to add those things during the next editing stream to show how I select and edit music and sound effects, and to make sure I have everyone's name right. The stream should be at 8:30 PM UK time this Wednesday, and I can't wait to see you there!

2019-02-19 04:53:09 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy. I've just finally figured out how to plug Discord server stuff into Patreon, so hopefully if you're a Patron of mine and your Discord is connected to your account, you should automatically get access to my Discord and a role in it. It might not though, because managing this is hard, lol. If you can't get in, let me know and I'll try to figure out what went wrong.
Coming soon: An update on future videos, some more changes to the Patreon, and a post-mortem of the, uh, amazing thing...

Hiya!
Here's a collection of things I cut for time or other reasons from the Flat Earth video. Some of it was in the backer edition, but some of it was cut even earlier than that. Some parts are very unfinished, and comes with explanations for why it was cut.
I leave a lot of stuff on the cutting room floor and don't normally like showing this much because it's like, uh, you're my backers, I want the extra stuff you get to be good and not just the stuff I decided wasn't good...

As some of you may know, I gained access to the Sonic The Hedgehog Curry and recorded myself eating some a few weeks ago while working on the Flat Earth video. Since I finally finished that I got the chance to cut this together. I also streamed the eating process - that version is still on Twitch with a live chat for now, but I have an archive synced with the better audio from my camera mics I could up...

Did you like the background wallpaper in this video? Well, here it is! Should be an attachment to this post. There's also a version with a silly instagram filter over it, and a little avatar I made for an alter-ego I posted under while gathering info for the video, Sobeklover88. None of that stuff came up in the video though. I cut so much stuff out lol
Got some bonus videos coming up soon, and a quick announcement about changes to Patron tiers and stuff - but I'm gonna wait until after...

Hey there,
Just to say I'm gonna livestream me watching my final draft of the video and making notes / the last edits and taking notes from the chat in like, maybe an hour? The last draft's rendering right now!
E: Thanks to everyone who turned up! Final video is rendering!

Hey folks! New video! FINALLY!!!!! AAA-
I will do another proper post about how things are going when it's not 3 AM. What matters is, please check this video out! I plan on setting the final video to premiere around New Years', and I've got a few changes I already want to make, so please don't hesitate to let me know what you think.
I'm really not sure if I'm happy with the music yet, so please lemme know if the soundtrack is a good set of choices and if it's balanced properly. 2018-12-28 03:20:54 +0000 UTC View Post
This was originally just a mistake when I tried to dramatically slammed down the phone for a scene, which would then cut to the opening titles.
But now I think it's funnier to end the scene like this and then cut. lol

Hey folks! Working on the Flat Earth vid (I'm working on this and Death Note at kind of the same time, hopefully I get one or both done during the rest of this month!) and I couldn't decide between two prop masks I was thinking of using, so I thought I'd get you to do my art direction for me lol
Leave a comment letting me know what you think!
Also attached is the example of how awful my lighting and colour balance was before I fixed it in post. Lol I just put the camera down and hoped fo...

Hey pals!
Sickness update: My sickness is gone but I got a lot of mouth ulcers (I think they're called canker sores) so i can't eat too well, but the pain isn't too excrutiating that I can barely talk or swallow, so I can finally record vocals again.
The video I mentioned doing a stream for isn't quite ready for that yet - it's gonna happen in a later video now and not the one I'm currently working on. So it's still happening but a bit later!
I work on a lot of videos concurrently,...
2018-11-26 19:38:06 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
First, just wanted to briefly apologise for not making many videos this year. I did a lot of travelling this year to get footage and do research for stuff, and because that means getting on lots of planes full of potentially sick people and being in countries with BRAND-NEW pathogens, I've been sick a lot as well. I'm just coming off being pretty wiped out by a bacterial infection, still pretty sore in the head region, and I'm really annoyed I've been too disoriented to work...

It's finally here!
Gosh some of this footage is from nearly 11 months ago. This has been a heck of a busy year for me so I'm glad to finally have this thing out the door and focus on the next stuff.
I'll post an update on those soon when I have more of a handle on things. I got wicked sick in Japan and I still haven't even unpacked yet lol

Here's the early-access version. I haven't put the credits in yet but they'll be in the finished video, obvs.
Tomorrow evening around 10:30PM UK Time, I'll be doing a stream for all $10+ patrons where I make the final touches, add any changes based on notes people have here (please leave a comment telling me what you think and what you'd like me to change!), walk through some of the more complex parts of the edit, and take live suggestions. I hope to see you there!

This is a quick bonus video about a piece of art that meant a lot to me as a teenager, and also relates very much to Lovecraft.
I'm not a very sentimental person, or maybe I secretly am and just try hard to pretend otherwise, but I think the Lovecraft video in general was an emotional experience to work on, and it reopened a lot of old memories I hadn't thought about for a while, and I had one of those 'wow my life has taken a heck of a turn in the past decade' moments as I found myself starin...

Hey look, I found a title.
Thanks so much to everyone who contributed notes and advice to this project. I'll put up a higher-rez copy of the BTS stream we did last night later this evening :)
Hi there!
The new video, whose title I'm still not sure about, is just processing over at YouTube now.
I'd really like your feedback on this one before it goes up proper, so please comment below with any notes you have. This is one of those videos that's very personal and relates to material I'm very close to, so I want to take as many notes as I can before it goes out the door to the public. Also, I kinda sorta come out of the closet in this video, which means I have a bit ...

In a few days there'll be a special patron-stream with Shannon and Eric to discuss it, and also I'll try to put out some of the making-of stuff that got shot in the process of making all this. I'll post here when we have a date/time.

Paul put out a pseudo-response to the people making fun of his soy video for being so demonstrably wrong, and as the prime fun-maker, I also came under his sights. This vid is a response to that and also some of his newer, even more obviously-false claims.
This is the dry run for a new series of videos doing shorter fact-checking of certain videos by the YouTube clown-gallery or ideas shared generally across the politically-incoherent branches of the net. I have several in mind already but if ...

I figured some folks would want versions of the slow-mo shots without text over them, so here we are! There's also some other bits and pieces I thought were fun.
In case you haven't seen the diet aftermath yet, it's over here:
Finally, it's up properly! aaaarrgh
Expect a video about the soy boy diet itself asap lol

Here's the backer version of the Soy Boy video. This is going up for everyone else once I finish editing some bonus stuff I can put up with it, along with a piece about the Soy Boy Diet itself, which ended up not even getting a look in in this video because there was so much other stuff to cover! I'm not going to charge for that one, since it's really just a part of this project that started needing more room.

As many of you have probably noticed, the credits for my videos are really long now. I get a lot of comments noting that the video is over but there's still 5-6 full minutes left of credits as I read out the name of everyone who backed me $10. I've been thinking about what to do about this for awhile.
Firstly, I want to note this is only a problem at all because I've been supported so massively by so many more people than I'd ever expe...
