Hello all! I'm currently recovering from an unexpected bout of food poisoning, so if this one's especially weird, you can blame it on that. I guess all food poisoning should be unexpected. If you are expecting food poisoning, I would strongly suggest not eating whatever you're eating.
Here are the posts from this month:
2023-06-29 21:31:37 +0000 UTC View PostSurprise everyone, here's my monthly video for June! It's a Patreon exclusive!
Normally, these posts are just bloopers/deleted scenes, but this one is the whole video! I wasn't sure if I was going to post it on my main channel when I started editing it, and sure enough, I felt the ...

Ohohoho we got ourselves a little collab video to edit:
come through and watch me edit my half of a vertical video intro to the video that was supposed to come out this month but might come out later this year!
2023-06-11 23:48:46 +0000 UTC View PostHello hello everyone! And a special hi to all the new free patrons who have joined this month! Welcome to your first official Progress Report! Prepare to be underwhelmed.
First off, here are the Patreon posts I've made this month:

We're writing WHILE we're editing! How exciting!
It's a little later than most process streams, but we'll probably be doing later streams for a while 'cause of my current schedule. This should be fun though, since you'll see what happens when I write the video based on what I can make out of the footage I have. Who knows how it'll turn out!
2023-05-21 21:27:23 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome to my Patreon!!!!
Technically, free membership opened on May 8th, but MAMMA MIA has this week been busy. So let's just say that free membership started today, and please forgive me for not posting about it sooner.
First off, I want to say thank you for even being interested in joining my Patreon! I'm super excited about having a free membership option. Mostly because I rarely use other social media these days, and considering how sporadically I post on YouTube, this will g...

it's a song about a bird.
I'm really happy with this one! Karen likes it a lot, too, which is always a major factor in whether or not I'm proud of it. So I'm extra proud of it.
(I didn't mark it out, but feel free to use the Goldfinch sound in whatever you want! It's literally just a goldfinch call. But rhythmic.)

Don't have a lot of bloopers from this video since it was filmed mostly in front of a green screen with a pretty solid idea in place! But I do have a good chunk of behind-the-scenes shots that I wanted to show you all! 2023-05-03 16:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post
Howdy all! Let's talk about what's been happening!
See the first picture above. That's what I've been working on these past few weeks, and it should be out next week! It's a silly video in the vein of "this song is not a metaphor," but this time it's about a bird that keeps tapping at my window (or did when I was making it, I fixed it so that way she doesn't want to fight her reflection anymore).
See the second picture above. That's when Karen and I ...

I always feel like I do too many songwriting process streams, but I guess the last one was in November, so I'm letting myself do another. Also, I need to make a song. So that's what we'll be doing.

Here's the full song! And of course, the very nicely exported stems from Jonah Scott, if you want to get a deeper look into how good he is at making music.
Also, you can listen to the demos! They're BAD! But hey, we got to something good eventually, and that's what matters.
2023-04-03 16:05:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt's here! The video is finally done!
I'm really happy about this one, and I hope you all like it, too. I'm gonna go on a little vacation now. Catch y'all later.
2023-04-03 16:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostLet's talk about this busy month!
A lot of editing. Obviously, I got "you look really tired" out, but the second video I had planned to be up in March isn't up yet. But IT WILL be up on Monday.
I also had to get a bunch of other stuff prepped for the next show Karen and I are pitching! It's a weird time to be doing it, considering there will most likely be a writer's strike in the coming months, but we've gotta keep pitching stuff or...

We're making a few fake websites to host my fake ads!
It's for the next video which will come out on April 3rd because that's when I set the music to go live, so if it doesn't come out on April 3rd that's a big ol' whoopsie.

The most important things to note in this post are Crunch_SFX.wav and Robot Noises_SFX.wav. Feel free to use them without credit in whatever you want. I'm most proud of them. The robot noises are just done with my mouth and a bunch of post processing. The crunch is my actual bones. Haha jk it's just me crushing a water bottle.

Who filmed three videos and still hasn't managed to finish/post any of them this month? That's right it's me!
The photos at the top of this post are all collected from three videos I've filmed. Let's talk about why each one isn't done.

Hello all! It's another video edit stream!
This isn't a video I'll be posting to my YouTube channel. It's a little collab post that I'm doing with Patreon's instagram, and it's the first time in maybe ever??? that I've edited a vertical video like this, so it'll be fun I think! Come see what it's like for me to do a 16:9 video, but not horizontally! 2023-02-23 21:08:17 +0000 UTC View Post
January is already over! What a quick month, huh?
It's been a busy month! Obviously, Welcome to the Neighborhood! came out, after starting it nearly 3 months ago (according to the Oct. '22 Progress Report). Sometimes you spend way too long on the graphics! And by sometimes I mean I will do that forever...
2023-01-31 21:33:22 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a strange song, as I'm mostly just speaking in rhythm, but I like the bass line/weird noises in the background, and I hope you will, too!
(Next month's vid should be coming with a much more standard song, and I'm pumped for it)
2023-01-17 17:35:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt's a weird, FMV-game-inspired video!
When I started working on this video, I wanted to make it look as different as I possibly could from everything else I've made. I'm not sure if I've succeeded as well as I'd hoped, but it was a fun time trying to push the boundaries!
I also got to spend ...

I will not be teaching you how to forge anything in this process stream, I'm sorry to say.
We'll be making some fake documents that will pop up in my FMV video that we started a few months ago! The good and bad thing about this video is that I can keep putting more weird details into it, so it's taking me a LOT longer than expected!

Welcome to the very first NEW YEAR'S EVE'S EVE'S CELEBRATION'S PARTY!
We'll be playing a bunch of games together, and eventually the night will devolve into a fantastic session of Karaoke in which I will inevitably lose my voice after screaming ABBA in the first 3 minutes! Come through whenever and leave whenever! This is your trial run for that fancy NYE party you're going to! P...
2022-12-30 23:30:00 +0000 UTC View Posti am a midnight gourmand, and you can be one, too.
Honestly surprised that the bloopers are only half as long as the full video. We filmed this four about 4 hours after I slammed an extremely large and sugary boba, and then I handed all of the footage over to 2022-12-20 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post
We are gonna edit the weird goop video!
This stream is gonna be mostly focused on the weird visual style of this video, which I'm planning to make similar to a visual novel/FMV/point-and-click video game just to add to the uncanny vibes. We'll see if we can do that!

Hello y'all! It's Progress Report Time!
... will most likely be a December/January video, depending on when it makes sense to upload, because it sure is a strange video
I have recorded the song and filmed it all and am working through the edit (you can see the the out-of-context stills above), but I sadly couldn't get through the whole thing because of two reasons:
it's this month's process livestream!
I'm a little late this month due to some other projects getting in the way, but I'm hoping to turn this video around pretty quickly after making the song today!

I can't believe we're already done with October
The Hee Bee Bee Gees videos are all out and I had a chance to take a little break last week after pushing real hard for many many many weeks! I went to Disneyland and found out that I stole my idea of a Vampire/Werewolf collaboration album from the Haunted Mansion (pictured above). Disney's lawyers are currently hollering at me through my windows and slipping lawsuits through my mail slot. It's a nightmare.
As was the case with AAAH!BBA, sometimes the more fun songs aren't the lead single. Anything that lets me do my worst Ray-Winstone-as-Growltiger-in-Cats-2019 impression is a hit in my books. Also anything that lets me dress up in my best Cats-not-2019-but-just-the-original-musical costume is a hit in my books. Maybe I just wanted to remake Cats.

I know what you're all here for: SFX_Screams.wav
4 minutes of me screaming loudly in my little office/studio space. Feel free to use these in whatever projects you'd like. My dream is to become the next Wilhelm Scream.
Oh and also please enjoy the full song. Jonah really went all out on these this year.
p.s. ignore the fact that the stems are all called "StayinAilve." sometimes you mess up early on and just have to commit to it.
