HAVE YOU EVER SEEN AN ANGEL DIE? - A Paradiso Summary/Analysis [FULL VIDEO ROUGH CUT PREVIEW]

The last preview clocked in around 75 minutes. This one is over 230 minutes.

I have had a very productive month.

This is the full video, 99% complete.

Remaining things that still need work:

-The main antagonist's voice lines have yet to be added in, along side a small handful of other line retakes
-I'll be making some minor adjustments to certain parts to improve pacing
-Last 20 minutes still needs a slight bit of editing
-Credits

Other than that, t...

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN AN ANGEL DIE? - A Paradiso Summary/Analysis [Preview 2]

Hey y'all! Hope all's well o/

Here's the first 75 minutes of the upcoming Death of a Wish/Born of a Dream video. Some bits are still subject to change, the intro especially, audio mixing and pacing might be a little off in some places while I'm still polishing everything, and I'm still waiting for lines and retakes from some collaborators.

That said, I'm still very excited about how things have been coming together! The more I place things down, the more I believe this'll turn ...

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN AN ANGEL DIE? - The First Preview

Hey ya'll, hope it's going well!

Just wanted to swing by and give you a quick update on the upcoming Death of a Wish/Born of a Dream video. Things are coming along quite well! Art assets are coming in at a steady pace, the first half of the script has been recorded and largely edited, and most of the voice roles have been filled. I have every confidence that the next preview will be firmly over an hour long.

A lot of things about this preview are still in the works, notably anyt...

The update with the Shadow Girl Theatre Homestuck preview - 07/01/2024

Hey all, hope it's going well!

Just wanted to swing by and touch base! The tl;dr is that things have been taking slightly longer to come together than I'd hoped, but are coming together much better now.

The script for the upcoming Death of a Wish/Born of a Dream video is at last in a good place, though it did admittedly take a while to get it that way. I got about a dozen thousand words into it before realizing that it wasn't coming together in a way that I thought would work, s...

Haruspex When?? - Update 04/02/24

Hey y’all, hope it’s going well!!

So, with the dust fully settled on the End of Eva video, I figured this would be a good time to touch base! Apologies on this update post taking so long to manifest but, for reasons we’ll get to, I wanted to wait till a couple things behind the scenes panned out before I wrote this post. Also, I won’t even lie, FF7 Rebirth did claim a solid week or so of my life, but I figure that goes without saying. When Nomura calls us, we of course must ans...

The End of Evangelion Is (Not) A Happy Ending - An Analysis & Summary

Here's the latest preview for the End of Eva video, currently clocking in at just under 2 hours.

Hey ya'll!

Hey ya'll! Here with the first look at the Signalis video that I've been working on! After playing it with SulMatul in December, we both got some intense brainworms about this game and it's story, so we've put our everything into working though and unpack a lot of this game's dense themes and rich abstraction.

The State of the Channel REDUX - Update 1/31/2023

This is gonna be a pretty dense post, so I'm going to lead off with the tl:dr and work backwards from there:

First off, want to say hello to all our new patrons! Very glad to have you here~

Additionally, thank you to everyone who's left kind words on The Marble Nest, it is appreciated more than I can possible convey. For reasons that are probably obvious by this point, The Marble Nest project was one of the most intimidatingly personal things I've ever attempted to put together, had a lot of anxiety as to whether or not it'd be worth trying ...

Making of the Bachelor's Finale Animatic

Hey all! Hope you're doing well ✨

So, been a little while since Act 2 dropped, but wanted to take some time to talk about what was, for me, maybe the most interesting challenge the whole process had to offer:

Putting together the animatic for the climax.   

So let's start with the 'why' and use that to work our way towards the 'how', shall we?   

Thing is, I knew pretty quickly that I was gonna need to do something special for the grand finale of...
