I have run into a problem.
I have 4 shorties that are fully filmed and in the editing process, but I have no idea which one I should post first. They will all go up at some point, but I am currently stuck in a space of choice paralysis where I bounce between editing all of them, and I want to devote my time to one of them and get it posted.
So here are the tentative titles. Please pick whichever one you...

WE ARE GOING LIVE IN ONE HOUR, at 7 PM ET.
Come join as I walk through all of my old videos, including the terrible ones that I've unlisted, and I tell little stories about each of them. It's a Q&A, too, so feel free to bring questions!
I labeled it as "Part 1" because I'm just gonna go from the very beginning and move my way up, and I don't think I'll be able to talk about all of them in a single ho...
2021-06-28 22:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostHello Jorts Enthusiasts, here's the info for June's goofy livestream:
We'll be going back through all of my old videos (including the unlisted ones) and I'll tell you all the bits and pieces that might not be evident from the final product! It'll probably end up being a Q&A, too, in case y'all have specific questions!
Sorry it's gonna be on a Monday — scheduling got a bit weird this month, and I cou...
After the last progress report, I'll keep this one shorter (mostly because no devastating setbacks have occurred).
I've got FIVE (5) video ideas in the works right now. The reason I've got five of them is because four of them ("Shorties") are gonna be very very very very very short, and one of them ("Mr. Smock") is a little long and also I've accidentally made m...

It's June's process livestream!
We're gonna make a song that's about 30-60 seconds long for one of my upcoming short videos. I'll explain what the short songs are for in an upcoming post for all patrons! The thumbnail for this livestream is unrelated.
See you tomorrow!
Much like the hair video, this cooking video doesn't have a lot of new music, but it does have some weird stingers that I had to write for little bits!
As always, feel free to download the SFX labelled audio files and use them in your projects whenever!
P.S. A fun little tidbit is that the morse code I used for the news ticker section just spells out "BDG". I thought of making it more complex but I was ...
2021-06-08 17:35:01 +0000 UTC View PostMy second cooking video is here.
This blooper reel was originally going to be longer than the actual video. I can never tell if that means I'm really good at editing things out, or if I'm really bad at filming things in the first place.
It was really fun to do a goofy cooking video again. I really d...

phew, this is a long one. oops.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I wanted to show y'all the gear I needed to bring with me in order to film two VERY DIFFERENT videos while away from home. Karen and I went on a trip and filmed "we like watching birds" and the upcoming* untitled 360 degree video during that trip, and the picture at the top of this post ...
2021-05-20 18:12:33 +0000 UTC View PostWell folks, according to last month's poll, it looks like I'll be making a tier list of ABBA songs for our May goofy livestream. Here's the info:
I can't wait to pretend like I don't already know which one's are going to be top tier. (Again, since this stream will most likely have ABBA music in it, we'll stream it on an unlisted YouTube and then transfer it over to Vimeo afterward).
How many bird noises can I turn into instruments and then jam into one song? Currently, the record is seven! But maybe next time I'll get eight!
(I'm weirdly proud of the strange choral bit in the middle of the song, but it isn't very audible in the final mix, so I'm glad I can put the stems here in case y'all want to hear it more clearly. Also, there was originally an organ in that part, but I think I muted it because it was too much. It's here in the stems anyway!)
2021-05-10 16:20:01 +0000 UTC View PostFull disclosure: We started this video thinking that birds were neat, but after spending hours outside trying to find and film interesting birds, Karen and I are 100% birdwatchers and absolutely love looking at those sweet little sky dogs.
This video was really fun to ...

WELCOME TO MY FIRST THIRDLY REPORT. We'll be going live promptly at 7 p.m. EST, so make sure you are wearing your business-appropriate clothing and have your business-appropriate snacks.
I will present my short slideshow and then drink some wine/grill some meats while you ask me questions.
(I'll see you all shortly for the May Jorts Enthusiast livestream, which looks like it'll be an ABBA song tier list.)
So here's the deal: it's getting down to the wire here for me to do my April goofy livestream.
In my old jobs, I would always have "quarterlies," where I'd meet with my manager and we'd talk about how I did for the past quarter, and what I'd do for the next one. As of this Friday, we'll be 1/3rd of the way through this year.
So we're gonna do a "thirdly."

Howdy, Jorts Enthusiasts! It's time for the April Process Livestream. It'll go live:
I'll be editing the video, codenamed "bird," so it'll contain spoilers for the next vid. If you'd rather go in unspoiled, feel free to wait until it comes out (probably the first week of May), and then you can come back and see how it got made! Or you don't have to come back...

As you can see by the amount of stems here, this was produced by someone who is smarter and better at production than I am (it's Jonah Scott).
This song turned out so good because of him, and I'm so stoked that he could help out. I'm also extremely happy that I could include a file called "JustOneDay_GRUNT.wav" on this post. I didn't even realize it was there in the mix until he sent me the stems (it shows...

So... let's talk about how there's no music in this video.
It sadly means that I have no new music to give to you Novelty Instrumentalists, but it was an intentional choice! I often lean on music a little too hard to get people to really connect with a video (Jonah's music for $20K was exactly what it needed to make it fit the cheesy salesman vibe while amping up the horror, but it wouldn't fit for this one), so I wan...
Howdy, y'all. I accidentally made a jokeless video. Oh shoot!

HELLO HELLO HELLO.
Here's the fully produced song I made for "that feeling when..." etc. The title's too long to keep writing out. You get the gist.
Along with that, I've included all of the stems for the music as .wav files, in case you'd like to remix (or just want to hear all of the pieces of the song on their own)!
AND ALSO, AN UPDATE: In this tier, I'm going to start including the final version of t...
I tried my absolute hardest to create the least clickable title for this video, and I think I did a pretty good job. Similar to "$20k," it's easier for me to just refer to this video as "TFW" or "that feeling when..." and that's what I love about it. Nothing better than a title that gets abridged by its own creator.
Anyway, if you want to watch the behind the scenes footage, just click the video at the top of this page...

There aren't any spoilers in this post or anything, beyond a few screenshots of scripts and screencaps of the VHS filming.
To set this up, here are the two things I really wanted to do in VHS:
1. I wanted it to be shot on a VHS (surprise), and then I would film the VHS being played on a CRT TV as the final vide...
