I have some updates for both fans of the commentary videos and true crime.
PREDATOR COMMENTARIES
I've finished recording the Michael Seibert commentary but it's pretty big. I've started editing it but I think it'll take me a few days to get through seeing as I'm helping a friend this week and weekend with some work.
You can keep track of it's progress over on the 2025-03-27 08:37:00 +0000 UTC

Early access for this one. I'll release it to the public sometime this weekend.
This is a smaller case but the impact it had on me was quite intense. I really felt as though the victim in this crime was a genuine and good person.
Such senseless violence.
Interested as always to hear your thoughts on it.
Dave
Same deal as the Marvin Lakhan video that just went up. This is a re-upload to fix a screen ration issue.

As mentioned in my previous update. This is a re-upload. I had to fix an issue with the screen ratio on the original upload.
2025-03-22 00:07:22 +0000 UTC View PostHey hey.
Thought I'd give you all an update on what's going on around these parts.
I've noticed two problems with Predator Commentaries that have already been released. Jason Schoeppner and Marvin Lakhan. It seems the video export is cropped to a weird screen ratio and the sides of the chat log are cut off.
I've re exported them and will upload them both now. So if you get notifications for them, they're not new videos.
I'm also exporting a censored version of Jesse Velez ...
This one turned out ot be quite the chat log monster. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed this one.
Back to sleep for me now. Speak soon.
Dave
I'm thinking the title of this one will be "Sean Finnegan's Chilling Secret"
Thanks for being patient, as always. Interested to hear your thoughts on this video, I found it to be one of the more memorable trials I've worked on for a while.
I'll keep the link sheet updated with what projects are coming up over the next week.
Take care.
Dave
EDIT - Well well well, the results are in and it looks like we're all going to be getting a masterclass in some philosophy. I'm excited!
Hey hey, you know what time it is!
I've wrapped up editing on my latest trial video and the attention has turned to who's next for a predator commentary. I'm once again looking at the guy's with shorter chat logs, but I do plan to tackle a big beast in the coming few weeks, It'll be between Westerback, Downhour, McPhetridge or JPW. I'll run a poll ...
Well well well.
Here it is. The strangest predator finally makes his debut appearance on the lemonade stand. I hope you enjoy the video and as always, love hearing your thoughts on it.
As mentioned in the video, here's a link to the raw uncut version with no commentary. https://www.patreon.com/posts/123820052
I've got a pretty good swing going in regards to release schedule so I'll be seeing you soo...
Hey hey.
I have the Kosis final video coming up in the next half hour but thought I'd throw the uncut version that I made here as well. This version combines two seperate uncut versions that have minor differences between them.
It has zero commentary so if you're not interested in watching the uncut footage, my commentary version is uploading as I type.
Dave
What a journey we've been on with this one, hey! Truly the most bizarre chat log I've read to date.
This is the final for the log and coming up next we'll take a look at Jerry's interview wth Mr. Hansen!
Hope you all enjoy this video and I'll see you shortly.
Currently working on a new trial video which should hopefully be out by this weekend.
Take it easy.
Dave
I thought I'd inform you of something that I just realized. I noticed that a few of you who were once on the legacy tier that's no longer available, you've upgraded to the basic tier for early access.
This essentially means that the subscription price for you has increased but potentially, if I'm reading the tier system correctly, you'd be getting less.
Please let me know if this is the case and I'll figure out a way to rectify that.
Dave
Wow, what an absolute horrible case this was. Many of you might be familiar with it. I hadn't heard of it before so as the details of the case emerged I was utterly repulsed.
Gisele is an absolute beautiful human being.
Interested to hear all of your thoughts.
Dave
Hey everyone.
I've read and listened to each and every one of your feedbacks. Thank you so much for your time giving me your thoughts and I'll get back to writing to each of you shortly.
What I landed on and gathered from all of your thoughts is that a mix between the two styles would be the preference.
Many of you liked the professional nature of my scripted work, whilst many others felt as though having the camera on would lend itself better to a conversational style of vide...
As mentioned, let me know what your thoughts are after watching the two tests I uploaded.
Thank you so much for your help. I really can't decide.
Dave
Hey hey.
I've been working on a true crime story video about the Ellie Nesler case. I came up against a bit of a problem. There was next to no videos or photos that I could find associated with the case.
I don't want to use stock footage so I figured I'd turn the camera on and see how it goes.
This is quite new territory for me so I wanted to see how you all felt about it.
Coming up, I've recorded 2 different versions of the opening section. One of them is closer to my usu...
I was not expecting to be as disgusted by this man as I was hey. Truly a vile creature.
Also, if my voice sounds a little funny i'm still coming off the tail end of an illness. I think it made me sound a little stuffier than usual, potentially made the predator voice sound a little more... real... haha
Starting on a new true crime video tomorrow and i'll get the last set of jerry Kosis chat log pages done shortly after that. Should have both of them out by end of next week.
I've put together a few lesser known predators so that I can get the video done rather quickly. We'll tackle one of the more better known guys once I wrap up work on Jerry Kosis. So with that being said... who's next?
EDIT - Keith Williams it is. Starting the video now!
Dave
Hey!
This was a pretty widely known case so many of you might already know of it. It's a horribly tragic one. Reminded me of the Elizabeth Marriott case that I worked on a few years back.
No matter how many cases I look at, the sheer amount of violence some people are capable of will never cease to shock and disgust me.
As you may be aware, I've been holding back on putting my personal thoughts and opinions into these latest videos, but I do have quite a lot of thoughts on this...
Hey there, True Crime team!
Thanks for waiting on this one, this is the first video of a bunch of story videos that'll be coming out. This story was quite complicated and there was many different little details that I could've put together in a few different ways.
I'm keen to hear your thoughts on how the flow of this video feels.
Title and thumbnail for this video are still being decided/worked. I'll have them done by the weekend when I send this to the Youtube wolves.
Hop...
Hey hey.
I'm back in action. It's been a busy start to the year. The Philippines journey was a bit of a crazy ride, that's for sure. Since I've been back, I've been running around looking after my nephew for school holidays, helping a friend move and setup their new home and also setting up my new workspace.
But the time has come. I'm back to work properly.
Currently I've almost finished a new video, unfortunately i'm a bit sick so the recording will have to be done tomorrow w...
Thanks for being patient everyone.
As mentioned, I'm heading off overseas until the 18th of Jan so I'll be away for a little while. Stay safe and healthy in the meantime and I'll catch you all when I get back. Once I'm back we'll dive into a heavy work cycle and I'll keep you all posted on what I'll be working on.
Speak soon.
Dave
Stream time!
Maybe catch you there.
Dave
2024-12-25 23:01:34 +0000 UTC View PostI'm going to get a stream going in about ten minutes if anyone's around. I'll post the link here when it's live. No problem if you miss it, it'll be available to watch later as a replay.
Speak soon.
Dave
As mentioned in my previous post, i've made some alterations to this edit. Nothing major. A few cuts shifted into different positions and some tidy ups. Added subtitles to the body cam footage when Steven was arrested and that's about it. If you've watched the first one, you don't need to watch this one as it's very similar to the first edit.
I was thinking I might make this one public sometime tomorrow, about 16-20 hours from the time of this post, to get it out there before people g...
Thanks for being patient on this one. It was quite a large trial to get through. I may make some slight alterations to this for the public release, but they'll only be tightening some of the transitions between clips up. The video won't change from this in terms of the information within it or how it's presented.
As always, keen to hear your thoughts on this one seeing as it has the potential to be very divisive. I'll likely take it out of early access sometime this weekend.
Hey.
Thought I'd upload a preview of the latest video that I'm working on. Hope you enjoy and I'll catch you soon.
EDIT - How funny is that awkward little pause before I start talking right at the beginning haha and I call myself a video editor 🤦♂️
