Webseries/ARG/Project Counseling & Discussion

ATTENTION TO ALL $20 PATRONS AND ABOVE

$20 PATRONS AND ABOVE:

I've just gone around my inbox here on Patreon and sent messages to everyone who hasn't told me they don't need the Counsel perks. If you've got an idea for a webseries/ARG/project that you'd like to develop and talk to me about, then you've got mail!

For those who I've already been talking to, I've replied to your last message and I'm just in need of a response.

The Children of the Mirror - Wham City's Latest Project

Finally, I get to talk about Wham City Comedy's most recent project! It only came out in December and we're now in the first week of March. But at last, it is here, and I feel fulfilled on this issue.

Enjoy!

Video Uploading Now

According to YouTube, it'll be up in about 3.5 hours. So, between 6:00 AM EST and 7:00 AM EST, we should be good.

I really don't like having to wait on YouTube. But the video is done, so you'll all have it in the early morning!

Video Almost Done

Nearly done with it, but I'm exhausted. Been working for about 12 hours on it. I'll complete it after getting up from sleep later in the evening and have it to you guys early in the night.

New Video Tomorrow or Monday

(Upload date depends on how soon I get it done, working on it tonight and tomorrow.)

After it's uploaded and presented to you guys here on Patreon, I'll be recording my Dakroom episode based on the comments and questions you guys gave in response to the last post, and that will be up around the middle of the week, if not sooner.

Also, if you're a Counsel member or above, I'll be replying to messages about webseries/ARG/project consultation and thoughts after finishing this new vi...

Darkroom: February

Hey everyone! It's time for another Darkroom, so comment here with questions and discussion topics for the video. I'll also be doing a story reading, so let's see suggestions that can be read in about five minutes or so.

How do I know the story isn't too long?

Copy the text into Microsoft Word, set the font to Courier New 11-point size and do single spacing,. If the story is three pages long or less, it can be suggested.

I'll have the epis...

BACK IN ACTION: Resident Evil 7 is Secretly Genius

I'M BAAAAAAAAACK!

And I brought a few new family members with me! Hope you don't mind.

It feels so gloriously good to be back in the swing of things, especially with this video. I haven't been able to tear into something with such analytical study and step-by-step breakdown in awhile! Feels good.

Thank you all for supporting me through the dark winter that's taken a lot of time away from making videos. It's been rough, but we're through the cold s...

Tentative Video Upload Date

I think (judging by all the stuff I have left to do for it) that you guys will get the new video on Thursday. Possibly very early Thursday morning. It depends how quickly I can get it together tomorrow. Most of the hard stuff is done.

Oh, and it's going to be at least 50 minutes long.

Either way, I'M COMING BACK THIS WEEK, KIDS!

Halfway Home

Everyone, I am very glad to say I'm halfway through my new script. And it is analytical, educational, focused, and shows examples of points being made. It is entirely on spooky and how to achieve spooky and why spooky works.

And the other half is all about the kind of 'hidden meanings & symbols' fun I bring to things like Wham City Comedy work.

You're gonna get a single video that's half breakdown of fear and its mechanics, and half artistic interpretation and symbol puzzle-cracking....

Thank You for Being Here

Hey everyone,

I know I let you guys know a little bit with my previous post about things that have kept me from being fully productive this month, and though I made what happened there clear, it almost seems as if I should've waited longer.

It has been a very bad month for people I love and care about and I would absolutely be lying if I said I haven't been affected by it all. You think once one terrible thing happens, that's it--you deal with it, you help those affected, you reflect, an...

Updates & Apology

Working towards a video for this weekend on a topic I'm very excited about. Week after, we'll do a Darkroom. Maybe even on Sunday, depending on how quickly I get through this week's workload for the video coming.

February will be a blood feast. Get hungry, kids.

Progress Made in January:

- Spoken to three new contacts for Night Mind originals and Creator Fund projects. All professionals, some whose names you wouldn't guess but would be pleasantly surprised to see. ...

Hey everyone, just another status update on channel plans and Patreon fulfillment.

Next Video Clue

My next video is on something that turned out suprisingly... different than I expected. So, have something equally different in expectation to serve as your clue to what it is!

Rebound!

Alright! After hitting a majorly unexpected snag this week investigating content for new videos and fighting off a bit of illness, things are looking up. New video should appear late tonight for everyone on here--it's a Case File, and it's like 'This House Has People In It' x 'The Conjuring.' Basically, "This House Has Demons In It" is what you could call it, even though that's not the name.

From here, I'm back on the ball to start the two-videos-a-week schedule. It was going to happe...

Bunny Man - Eye

Here's something interesting I wanted to share during Halloween, but forgot to:

While reviewing the footage from the Bunny Man shoot, I stopped when I saw this. I have no idea how it happened, but for a moment, the man behind the mask had a rabbit's eye. That section for the eye is supposed to be just like any rubber mask: hollow, empty, cut out, and big enough to always see the flesh around a person's eye when you look through it.

I don't know how this happened, but it gave me goosebump...

Hey everyone,

I'll be doing Darkroom this weekend, most likely going to record tonight and have it up for tomorrow.  I have a tentative weekly schedule laid out as well of Thursdays and Saturdays for uploads, which would be Wednesday and Friday for eveyone on here. Some videos might take more time, but hopefully, I can get this schedule to work out and do two videos a week most of the time from now on!
