August Process Livestream!

hellllooooooooooooo everyone! it's been a while!

STREAM WILL BE HERE
TOMORROW AT 4PM PT 

I finally finished filming this health insurance video, and I'm starting to structure it together, which is what this video will be about! I filmed about 110 gigs worth of footage for this thing! Ahahahaha oh boy it's a real beast.

July Progress Report!

Welcome to the first time I have posted a progress report solidly before the last few days of the month! It is because I have bitten off more than I can chew!

JULY VIDEO: IN PROGRESS!

So I have been working on this video diligently since last month, but the vast majority of that work has been on the script. Currently, the script is ~4000 words long. To give you a little context for that word count, most of my Unraveled episodes floated around the 2500 word range...

Blending a QTE! | July Process Livestream

Howdy, y'all! It's time for another process stream, which I am somehow shoehorning into the final hour of time I have available before I gotta go away for a little bit!

STREAM WILL BE LIVE HERE
TOMORROW @ 4PM PT 

We're blendering again! Blending! Blenderrreererering! Although I'm still finishing up the final edits on my Health Insurance script, I know that this joke will definitely exist in it, so we're...

JUNE PROGRESS REPORT

Just under the wire, it's my progress report for June! Not a ton to show you today, since most of it is still in the scripting stages, which is why I have posted a photo of me hugging my Uncle's dog very tightly at the top of this post.

THINGS I DID IN JUNE:

• finally finished RGSS (and posted a bonus tiny video for fun)
• celebrated my grandma's 90th birthday (and got to hang out with a lot of dogs)
• did a couple voice things that you won't hear about for yea...

research & scripting | June Process Stream

Hello! We're gonna do a VERY WEIRD process stream tomorrow. I have no idea if it'll work! If it doesn't, we'll just swap over to making music, which is always a safe bet.

STREAM WILL BE LIVE TOMORROW HERE
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 2PM PT 

I have a new video in the works for July, and it's pretty different from the ones I've been making recently, namely because it involves research, a concept I haven'...

KARAOKE NIGHT | June Goofy Livestream

EDIT: The stream is still live on YouTube for now, but if/when it gets pulled, here is the link to the Vimeo backup!
PASSWORD: encore

LET'S SING

STREAM LIVE HERE AT 5PM PT 

(this stream will inevitably get muted/pulled from youtube, so if you can't make it live, I will upload it to vimeo as soon as possible after the stream!) 2022-06-25 23:31:00 +0000 UTC View Post

the woes of a parking attendant | Behind the Scenes

hahaha surprise, it's a new tiny video that took about 3 hours from conception to publish!

not surprisingly, I don't have much in the way of BTS footage, but I do have the four takes it took to get this thing filmed, most of which I had to not use because Karen kept laughing behind the camera:

YOU CAN SEE THOSE TAKES HERE

RGSS | Song, Stems

after so, so, SO many months, RGSS is finally here.

thank you for your patience and please enjoy the final song (and I sincerely hope you like the weird chorale break as much as I do

RGSS Behind the Scenes

It's a new, nonsensical video! I had originally planned to release it after Hats, but then life got in the way, so I'm finally releasing it now! There is no deeper meaning to it, though you can see how it was formed in the behind-the-scenes video below!

making a NEW TYPE of HIB song | May Process Stream

Hello all! I've just come back from the little vacation, and I'm ready to write a new song.

LIVE HERE TOMORROW, MAY 24TH, AT 2 PM PT 

I've had an idea for a new segment for my exercise stream, which will also include exercise. Tomorrow, I'm gonna make the song for it. And you can hang out with me while I make said song and tell me if it makes you feel like exercising.

there is a rock in my house - Song, Stems

hello hello, here is the full song and all of the stems for "there is a rock in my house"!

This video has made me start practicing the recorder a lot more. I'm getting pretty good at Wind Waker's title screen music.

there is a rock in my house - Behind the Scenes

Hello, folks! It's a new video that I wasn't really sure I wanted to post!

Since it's another weird one, I don't have much in the way of bloopers or deleted scenes, so instead, here's a long post on how it came to be:

This video is another strange departure from my normal style, and to be honest, I made it more for myself. I was feeling extremely rough—a mixture of burnout, and sadness, and anger at my burnou...

doing some editing! | April Process Stream

Hey hey hey it's almost the end of April and I'll be editing a video!

STREAM WILL BE HERE
TOMORROW AT 2PM PST 

I'll be working my way through RGSS, which was the song I made in the last process stream. I don't really know what I'll be editing tomorrow, though, since I've been going back and forth on what I want the visuals to...

April Progress Report!

Hey everyone, we've got a progress report before a video this month, and that is because:

I am very much feeling the fabled burnout.

If I'm being perfectly honest with myself, this burnout has been creeping up on me ever since we started prepping for our move back in autumn. Kind of surprised it has taken this long! I've been making videos for years now, and while there have been moments of feeling sluggish and frustrated with my work, it's never been quite this bad.

For a...

PATRON SURVEY & March Progress Report!

TLDR: If you'd like to help me make this patreon better, it'd be wonderful if you filled out this survey!

I'll start this message off by saying, hey, whoa, I'm super glad that so many of you seemed to connect with "i wish that i could wear hats." It's always strange to share something you created with a large audience, but it's extremely strange to do that with something that's more vulnerable than yo...

building a song structure! | Mar. Process Stream

hello all! it's late in March, and i'm building the next song. come join tomorrow and watch as i build it!

STREAM WILL BE HERE
TOMORROW, MAR. 22, 3PM PST

the fun thing about this song is that i do not need to worry about lyrics. so we're gonna get weird with it.

songs with videos without videos | the spotify album version!

Hey folks! I know you could technically download all of this music in the other audio posts, but since I've just released this album on Bandcamp & Spotify (and all the others), I figured I'd upload them in album format as well!

And here's a big ol' version of the album art, which I mad...

i wish that i could wear hats | Song, Stems

here's the whole dang song and stems! enjoy the many phasing parts that i probably could have just recorded once and then vocoded to be different pitches, but instead decided to record all of the takes separately!

THE MAKING OF "i wish that i could wear hats"

haha whoops, i made a strangely serious video!

as a result, i don't have much in the way of BTS vids or bloopers. so instead, i thought i'd walk you through the entire process of how i made this video, from idea to lyrics to music to filming to editing!

A (long overdue) PROGRESS REPORT | Feb. 2022

Hello folks! I've been meaning to make this progress report for about two months now! Oopsie!

It's been a hectic start to the year, as I've been trying to catch up on:

• My videos, since I've been scrambling to get them out earlier in the month.
• My writing work with Karen, since we've been working on more projects and are trying to get our own scripts in front of the right people.
• My taxes. Did you know that when you quit your job and have multiple streams of...

Breezy Slide DEMO

I know that these posts are usually filled with the actual song/stems from the video, but as I mentioned in the Blooper post, Louie gets to have the proceeds from the final song (which can be found on his bandcamp)!

So instead, I wanted to post the little demo I sent to Louie when I was writing the lyrics to his basic track. The final song sounds VERY different from the original demo for a few major reasons:

Breezy Slide Bloopers

Louie and I finally made another song together, and this time we could hang out in person.

This was probably the most fun I've had while shooting a video in a VERY long time. I guess that's pretty easy to do when the video is just hanging out with friends and filming silly dances while wearing fantast...

Color correcting a video | Feb. Process Livestream

We're gonna color correct the HECK out of this video!

LIVESTREAM STARTS TOMORROW
FEB. 10TH AT 3PM PST 

This'll be a fun one to color correct, because it's super '80s and cheesy and silly! And just as a heads up, I'll be color correcting in Adobe Premiere, even though I keep watching videos about DaVinci Resolve and am extremely tempted to learn more about it. I really don't have time to completely learn...
