Hey everyone! Happy New Year!

I just wanted to let you all know that the first big project you will all be seeing from me this year will be my Prince Zuko tribute. It’s coming along well and is clocking in just above 10 minutes. There’s still a lot of work to do, but I’m excited to continue and finish this project since I’m such a big fan of The Last Airbender.

The next project will be Star Wars related and more updates will be given soon!

Thank you so much for con...

The HFP Course

Hey guys, I was wanting to ask you if you'd all be interested in an official editing course exclusively here on Patreon?

I've been thinking about making a series of videos designed to teach people how to use an editing software, but more importantly, how to tell stories with it. It's something I've considered for a long time and a lot of people have asked me to do something like this throughout the years.

What do you guys think?2024-12-06 16:06:21 +0000 UTC View Post

My Next Tribute is....

Prince Zuko, one of my favorite characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender. I think his story is one of the best redemptive arcs ever written, and really up there with Anakin's story.

This tribute is currently in early development and I hope to finish this by summer's end.

Stay tuned!

Thank You

Hey guys! Thank you all for your support on the channel and for checking out my first official Remaster! The Chosen One is a huge reason this channel became what it became today and I have all of YOU to thank for. Thank you for joining me on this journey and I hope you all stick around for the ride into this new era of the channel.

I'm still deciding which of the tributes I want to focus on next that I have lined up. I'd like it to be a tribute I can get done fairly soon. I'll also be p...

It's Coming...

This tribute gave life to a channel that remained dormant for 8 years. From 2017 and on, I had some of the most rewarding creative experiences of my life which impacted so many people in a positive way. This year, I intend to begin again and create a new era for the channel beginning with a remaster of The Chosen One.

Within the last few years, I lost my way and struggled with my creative drive. I feel like a lot of our lives changed drastically since 2020. It was a call of reflection...

[Update] The Chosen One (Remastered)

Just wanted to let you all know that the tribute is going great so far! Been in a full time job as of late so it's been challenging to find some time to progress the tribute so it's been slowly but surely so far!

I'm super excited for you all to see this because it not only adds to the original but it also features a new rendition of the Tessa soundtrack used in the original tribute which elevates Vader's climactic redemption.

I will be sure to share a peek if possible when it...

Life Update

Hey everyone, it's been awhile.

I wanted to update you all on where I've been in the past month(s) and why I've once again fallen into the trap of life and delays on my original plans.

First of all, I'm doing alright and I'm healthy which is great. I recently went on vacation out of country into what was probably the worst vacation of my life. It involved me catching Covid/Influenza B/the common cold all at the same time. It also involved the violation of my privacy, bad food, dec...

The Sound Mix Update

The Sound Mix is going well and is 60% done! The reason I’ve been taking more time with this is because of YouTube’s horrible compression system when uploading videos.

To put it simply, if your audio isn’t cleaned up well, YouTube will do it for you when you upload which usually results in loss of quality both visually and audibly. So I’m going to make sure everything is the best that it can be before I announce or post anything.

This is how the timeline looks and I have ...

[First Look] Andor & Erso | Why We Fight

Here it is! I'm making this "first look" available to every single one of you no matter what tier you're in. The reason for this is because you guys have been patiently supporting me during some of my slowest years I've ever had in video production, and I wanted to say thank you for that. Either you guys forgot you are still subbed to this Patreon or you are some of the most loving fans ever! Haha I'd like to think that you're the second one.

This is the first 5 min or so of the 11 min ...

First Look Coming This Weekend

Editing is Locked! Currently sound mixing and polishing the audio. For those of you who are still with me and supporting, you guys are the real ones 🙏🏼

Thank you so much for your support and your patience. I really can't wait for you guys to see this one!

May the Force be with you, Always.

Release Update

Aiming for a late August/early September release guys. Thank you all for your patience! My career outside of HFP has taken a positive step forward which has meant a lot more work for me and less time in the editing bay, but I have slowly but surely made progress with this amazing story I'm excited to share with you all. The video will clock in just over 10 min.

This is a first look at the poster I will be releasing publicly very soon with an official date attached to it. There is no dat...

Andor & Erso Tribute Progress

Hey everyone! Just wanted to show you all what the timeline is looking like so far. I'm about 65%-70% done with the tribute and am looking to really push my progress this weekend so that I can release this within the next month. We'll see how it goes! Don't want to say a date until I'm at 100% :)

A Holiday Update :)

As the months rolled on after the release of Ahsoka, the initial creative burnout I experienced took awhile to dissipate. After that went away, a new challenge arose, and it wasn't anything that came from external circumstances. It was internal.

I began to struggle with my own focus, creative drive, and procrastination. Aside from the changes I went through with school and a new job, the free time that was left for myself was spent gaming or watching these unfinished projects over and o...

What it truly means to make a Montage. (What I do as an editor)

Hey everyone, hope you've all been well. I've personally been ok with very little time to edit due to my new full time job and me being back at school. As a recent film major, one of my readings deep dived into the art of the montage and where it first developed. 

This particular passage spoke to me on a deep level because it revealed a true definition of what I do as an editor. It helped me assure my own artistic identity which gave me a significant level of comfort. ...

Man of Steel - First Flight (John Williams Rescore

Had a lot of fun with this one. Still have some tweaks left to do but I hope you enjoy!

Yeah I think I might do this...

This is a little outside of my plans.. BUT

I'm thinking about making a new Obi-Wan tribute inspired off of the new content we're getting from the new series. It will combine the best of both the Kenobi tribute and The Chosen One tribute.

I have the music decided, and I think I have something pretty interesting here. What would you guys think if I revisit these two characters?

Almost done.

Alright guys so just so you can get an exclusive look here, this is where im at. As you can see there is a blue and orange marker on where im at with the audio clean up and the end on the right side. 

I'm nearing completion :)

It’s Almost Here

Im so glad I’m actually saying this. The edit is done, I just have to go through the whole 20 min video today and clean up the audio.

My anxiety levels are extremely high due to fears of things going wrong as they have had to me for such a long time, but I’ll be working my ass off to finally complete this and put it up for you guys.

Apologies I couldn’t finish this earlier so that you guys could see it first, this has been one hell of an edit.

The Title

Good morning guys, thank you for all of your kind messages regarding my Grandfather it really means a lot. I know that he'd want me to keep going and continue working on the things that fulfill me, so the show must go on.

So this morning, I thought I'd ask you guys once again to chime in on something; the Ahsoka tribute title. Which one sounds better to you? I took the liberty to set up a poll below showing some of the titles I was thinking about going with and I wanted to know which on...

A True Artist

For the last year and a half, my Grandpa has been battling cancer. He, like my grandmother, was an artist, and a true painter. He was also stubborn, passionate and rebellious (a little too much for his own good. Which I definitely got from him). But most importantly, he loved his family, nature, and his community. As a young adult, he worked at a Brazilian production company as a professional illustrator. I always imagined he’d get along with other iconic illustrators like Jack Kirby.

2022 Sizzle Reel (Official Early Viewing)

Here you go guys! I hope you enjoy it! This is a little taste of what's to come. I will be reuploading this publicly in about a week or so with an ad attached at the end that I'm still developing.

I also have to see about the encoding of this video since Youtube's compression of the video didn't come out great. 

Let me know what you think!

Stay tuned later today :)

Gonna be finishing up this sizzle reel exclusively for you guys later today! Just have to add some finishing touches and clean up the sound.

I’m glad to be finally back editing more frequently!

Some new Announcements :)

Good morning/afternoon/evening guys! Just wanted to hop on here and give you guys some new details on what's to come within the next 3 months. On 3/1/22 I will be posting this Youtube short (on TikTok and IG reels as well) and also post a 2022 Sizzle Reel (here exclusively first, then publicly a week or so later) to show you all what's to come this year. 

I'm keeping it simple. 4 videos. Ahsoka included. If i can meet those goals I'll be happy. Now, for the release date for Ahsoka....

Trying again

Hey, thank you. Especially you. Thank you for your support in spite of my misgivings. Thank you for your compassion and understanding. Thank you for sticking around even when I didn’t deserve it. You guys are the real ones.

Although I still have some rough patches to get through, I’m starting the year off where I left off. Although my plans have failed, the objective has not. Only this time, my own health will come first instead of my videos. I hope you stick around until then. And ...
