"The Sword of Baron Samedi" - Checkmate Lincolnites OST
Thought you all might enjoy listening to the new piece of music that my composer Dillon DeRosa wrote for the Klaus scene in Checkmate Lincolnites Episode 8.
The new episode is currently available for $10+ patrons, and will be published on youtube tomorrow!

Johnny can't wait to see you all
Had a bit of a rough week, which set work back a bit. But the edit's chugging along, and I'm shooting that Klaus cameo on Saturday. I was originally going to open the episode with it, but have decided to make it a mid-credits scene that will come up after the ending title card. It'll be the start of a narrative element to the series that will serve as a kind of unobtrusive thematic support to the educational stuff (as well as engage in cheap fan service and lead to a slam-bang conclusion in E...

Editing by day, researching by night
Hey all, just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that I am slowly starting to get back in the swing of things with work for the channel. The edit of Sudbury is still going well – I'm working on it every day, and the first cut is a third of the way done.
I'm also researching the new Checkmate Lincolnites a bit every day, and outlining the episode, which will probably take about a month to make. I've got some good zingers lined up, and plans are in place for ...

we did it. we made a movie
Sorry for the repetitive title and image. This is a short video update about Sudbury going into a bit more detail about the production, which I will post to the channel in a couple days. After that, it'll be back to your regular programming.

The Sudbury Devil is in the can.
More images and possibly a short video update to follow. Then, after I sleep for about 11 years, production on youtube videos will resume.

This is about 3/4 of the stuff I'm loading into my car to bring up to Massachusetts for The Sudbury Devil. Starting the drive first thing Sunday morning. I'm sick of prepping – I want to start filming this thing.
You will probably not hear from me for a while, and that's because I'm going to be busy making this movie.
Hopefully it won't suck.

...which I did not really have time to do. But I like this channel, and it's a big'un, so wouldn't have felt right turning them down.
Work continues. Making the Sudbury call sheets now. Leaving for New England (and filming) in just nine days.

Very early access on this one. I just have a ton on my plate and wanted to get this out of the way. Enjoy!

Another Sudbury prop. Got a big canvas 17th century tent come in today that I'm pretty excited about too.

Hey all, I created a closed Discord page exclusively for friends and higher-paying patrons.
This is a bit of an experiment. People have requested I start a Discord page for ages now, and I want to see how it would go. Just a heads up, if the space becomes really toxic or nobody actually uses it or whatever, then I'll probably shut it down.
But in any case, I hope y'all have fun with it.

Hopefully in four weeks it will have warmed up a bit, while retaining the spooky charm.

Geez, who can read that?!
Having to transcribe some very obscure primary sources for the video I'm writing. Filming either later tonight or tomorrow. It's just a simple talking-to-the-camera-with-mood-lighting type deal.
Costumes for Sudbury are basically done. Today I need to find and order a very specific prop severed body part.
Onward!

I should have been a costume designer, this is a blast (but a lot of work). I've been distressing this waistcoat, because this character in Sudbury is supposed to have been living out in the woods for a while. It's pretty fun coming up with little stories for how every stain and tear you make came to be.

Movie updates
Hey all, I'm hoping to get a history video out next month (and last I checked my composer Dillon was prepping Atun-Shei Films OST #2, so look out for that) but as I said in my video update a few months back, this next four weeks or so is absolute crunch time for pre-production for the main shoot of my movie, The Sudbury Devil.
Chances are, I won't have very many updates for you in the near future about YouTube projects, but I do have plenty of updates about pre-production, whic...

"It's About Time" - Frozen '50s Man Episode 2 OST
Sorry for the delay in getting the episode out. Things got busy at composer Dillon's work unexpectedly so it's taking a little longer to finish the score than we expected. In the meantime, speaking of music, here's the cue he wrote for the Episode 2 cold open. It's a banger. Enjoy!
2022-02-05 20:54:02 +0000 UTC View PostFinally picture locked!
Episode 2 is just days away from completion now. All I need to do is record and add some foley, and double check the sound mix. I'm also waiting on a few music cues from my composer. I was a bit worried at first that it wouldn't live up to the hype, but now that it's all come together, I think it's even better than the first episode. Definitely The Empire Strikes Back of edgy no-budget political satire murder mystery internet shows.
