Pumpkin Cowboy | Song, Stems

Howdy howdy howdy!

If you watched the stream two days ago, you saw me writing these words as I uploaded all of the stems and songs!

Jonah really knocked it out of the park with this one. I sent him a very simple melody tracking and asked if he could make it sound like it was a Cowboy Chorus, and then he made this beautiful thing (and even doubled all of my vocals to fill it out)! He's the best.

I'll be honest and say that I don't expect this to be one of my more popular videos, but similar to Teaching Jake, it's one of my favorites, and I'm overwhelmingly glad with how it turned out. They say the only ...

Hello everyone, and welcome to the first process stream of 2022!

TL;DR — This tier is now getting streams where I show you my process for making videos. The stream will be live at this link tomorrow at 3 p.m. PST

One Year on Patreon - Thank You!!!

I'll attempt to keep this succinct, but knowing me, it won't be. So TL;DR: Thank you all so very much for your support.

On December 28th, 2020, I became an independent creator. I had been thinking about giving it a try for a while, but with the pandemic and finances and generalized anxiety about "making good stuff," I didn't think it would go super well. Regardless, I planned things out and figured ...

GOTY Songs, SFX

Not a lot of homemade music in this video, but at least I got to make a song for the sexy/sad Moreau.

As always, feel free to use anything labeled with SFX in your projects!

Progress Report: Twitch + Cowboy + The Next Horror

As of 30 minutes ago, I am officially done moving into my new place. The vast swath of cardboard boxes was just picked up to be recycled, and 95% of the furniture is built and placed where it should go. I can no longer procrastinate by saying "Well I'll just build this bookshelf instead of filming anything."

Don't get me wrong, I do need to build that bookshelf. But I'll just do it on the weekend. I need to make stuff. Here's the stuff I'm making:

AAAH!BBA | All Songs

hello here are all the songs from AAAH!BBA.

I will post all of the stems as a separate post! I figured it would make the most sense to put all of the main songs here, and then if you want to hear just the stems, you can find them in a secondary post. That should be up by tomorrow!

PROGRESS REPORT: Moving + October

Hello folks, I am exhausted.

I’m currently writing this post while sitting on a box, waiting for our movers to get here to pick up all of our earthly belongings. Turns out that having one month to find an apartment on the other side of the country and then pack up all of your stuff so you can go there is really quite a lot.

It’s sad to say goodbye to this place! We were only here for a year and a few months, but there were lots of memories. Here’s where I ate a slightly squ...

this song is not a metaphor | Song, Stems

Hello it is a new song and all of the stems!

This is one of my fave songs that I've made this year. It's just a chill little song. I like to make chill little songs.

Heads up: Next month you will get lots of songs. Lots and lots and lots of songs. This level will have many posts. So look forward to that.

"this song is not a metaphor" After Effects Walkthrough

Hello! This is the final shorty (for now)! And I don't have much in the way of bloopers, so instead, I made a 35-minute walkthrough of each of the 102 layers I used in After Effects in order to make this 51 second video. That's an average of two layers per second. The video equivalent of a high-speed croissant.

38 dance moves to try at the club | Song, Stems

Hello hello here is my dance anthem for summer 2k21.

I really was going hard for the Kernkraft 400 football stadium chant vibe on this one, and I think it ended up there in the end.

My personal favorite stem is "PercAdd" because it sounds like it shouldn't belong in the song at all, but it somehow fits.

i'm not superstitious but ... | Song, Stems

This song was meant to be the most accurate portrayal of the way I feel whenever I have to do a minor task around the house that could be somewhat consequential, so I tried to make a vocal equivalent of the Shepard tone.

But regardless of the general anxiety of it, this is still one of my favorite bass lines. It's just weird enough to be catchy.

Progress Report: Mr. Smock & Other Things

I'll split this progress report into 3 sections: UPCOMING VIDS, UPCOMING NOT VIDS, and OTHER STUFF.


UPCOMING VIDS:

So the good news is that I finally have a line-up cut of Mr. Smock (Pic 1) and the most colorful timeline I've ever made. It's because I had all of the shots color coordinated based on how I would had to stand in front of the green screen (Pic 2 is the script, also color coordinated, and Pic 3 is my "storyboard" of shot templates. You can tell it's the en...

Folks, I am bad at blender.

But also, I need to be somewhat okay at blender in order to create some reasonably well designed backgrounds for Mr. Smock.

So come through tomorrow, THURSDAY, JULY 15, AT 1PM EST. We'll see if we can make something worthwhile. Or at least learn something.

(p.s. if you're good at blender feel free to come and help/laugh at me)

rollerblade song, stems

turns out this video has TWO songs, not just one! it's the normal rollerblade one and then the weird ending drone!

a fun part of the ending drone is that a lot of the weird noises come from me just saying the sentence "I am testing how weird this can sound if I slow it down and I reverse it" in a weird voice, and then slowing it down and reversing it, and then chopping it in half and layering it on itself. immediate scary drone noises! how fun!
