Darkroom Update

Hey everyone, 

I just wanted to tell you that I was going to be doing Darkroom this weekend, but a lot of signal flares from the community went up at once regarding something I needed to cover A.S.A.P. and I had to jump on that first. Could be another potential Marina Joyce situation if someone doesn't throw a wet blanket on it very quickly to smother the fire before it gets any bigger. I won't be able to upload it here first due to the nature of the beast, so it's one of those reall...

Major Media Video - Black Mirror

I didn't really expect things to kick off that hot, but it looks like we have a very clear winner. Although Mulholland Drive/Lynch and Channel Zero are excellent suggestions, those do have to wait for specific times to be reviewed.

I ain't covering David Lynch material without Nyx Fears, no sir. It would feel dirty and lonely. And as for Channel Zero, I just can't do that without it being done for the season, and I'd really like the next season, No End House, to be there for comparison ...

Major Media Video: November

Hello to all my Council members and above! We're in a new month, and that means it's time to select the topic of our next major media video! (Meaning film and/or tv.)

Donnie Darko was our first. It was a tough situation concerning upload due to some of the most ludicrous copyright claims I've ever seen, but we're past it.

What would you guys like covered? Let me know! Let's see if we have a repeat suggestion to pull ahead as the clear winner. Otherwise, I'll take a look at what we've got...

Back In It

October. Is. Done.

And while I loved our October experience, it was a little stressful taking quite a bit of time getting everything done with a deadline, especially knowing I wanted to keep up here on Patreon as I was working.

But now, it's November, and I feel the best way to get back in the method of business as usual is by coming to everyone here! Let's really get back on the ball.

- This week, we're doing the first Darkroom episode of November. Questions, comm...

October Nights #2: Monster Hunt

Sorry it took a bit longer than expected, but Patreon supporters are still getting this way ahead of others. I bring you the most fun I've had so far with October Nights--the Monster Hunt!

Halloween Video #2

Will be early access for Patreon, but may come late in the night or very early in the morning. Much more visual content than in SCP, so wait times for all steps in the process will be extended. Another 40 minute piece.

October Nights #1: SCP Vault - Most Wanted

I've had requests to do an SCP special for aaaaages, and I felt this was exactly the time to go about it. Nine of the Foundation's most dangerous uncontained threats, ranging in order from 'fairly easy to avoid' to 'disastrous fate,' with a whole lot of death and destruction involved.

Fair warnings:

- The first three minutes or so of this video has plenty of visual action. Afterward, most of it is purely audio with accompanying text. This is an SCP reading special, and as much as ...

Update - Darkroom, October Fun

Hey everyone, just wanted to keep you all in the loop here. You might have noticed there hasn't been any mention of Darkroom yet this month, and that's because the October-only videos I've been working on are taking all my time. I'm cool with that, because this is one of the most ambitious things I've done yet in a different way from other "big projects" you've seen.

I just want this final bit of time in October, when it really feels like October, to be special, and give you guys someth...

"It's Quiet"

Hey everyone, just wanted to gives a heads-up that if it seems kind of quiet over here, it's only because I've been working on the next video and getting the big October stuff ready. Things are all still on my mind when it comes to Patreon, I'm just trying to get all the works in place for this month to be special. And if it seems like things are slow on the channel with uploads, just remember: the closer we get to Halloween, the more excited you should be. This month's workload will drop when i...

Ladies, gentlemen, and all things in-between, outside, under and over, it’s time once again to prepare for the Night Mind Candy Bowl!

What’s the Candy Bowl?”

Idk, you tell me, I’m still trying to figure it out myself

The Candy Bowl is an annual tradition begun last year with the first October that the Night Mind channel was active, taking place on Halloween! An assortment of horrifying stories, terrifying monsters, and oddities that don...

Darkroom - September [Episode 2]

Took longer than expected to get this out to everyone, and I apologize for that, but I've got a whole hour of talking from the Discord for you! Unfortunately no story reading on this one--didn't realize how long Feed the Pig was, and I just don't have the time to do that while trying to secure the October needs.Audio also got dressed for the party, but didn't put on makeup; I've got some clicks, snaps, etc. in the track. Darkroom Live is a much more laid-back sort of thing, and again, I just don...

Oh, Okay

So, I've experienced a version of the copyright claim I've never encountered before. FOX has decided to completely block the video in pretty much all of North America and about 7 other countries instead of just taking the ad revenue (which isn't theirs to take, anyway, but that's part of the classic Content ID hatefest).

I am going to have to figure out a solution. I may have to severely gut this video in order to give you guys the pertinent information that explains Donnie Darko.

Uploading Update

Looks like YouTube is taking its sweet time. This video will take at least another three hours. I'll have it up for you guys regardless of the sun's position, but if you're in the US on EST or CST, I wouldn't wait up. Sorry, guys. I think an internet provider that doesn't bottleneck upload speeds is in order.

October Uploads Begin Tonight

Hey everyone, I'm just currently punching my way through the rest of Donnie Darko. I've got less than ten minutes left to sync video to on the audio track, so it won't be too long until I can get this thing rendered and uploading. Giant, complicated portion in the middle I had to do a lot of extra work for is now finished, so I'm at the final lap. This picture was part of it, that's one custom image of about... 7 of them.

CST: 7:00 PM

Minor Reschedule

Due to a few patrons alerting me that I placed Darkroom's live recording at the same time as the comedy event of the year known as the first Presidential Debate, we'll get together on Wednesday (the 28th)  instead for 8:00 PM.  Enough time for Darkroom, and then we can all settle down for the new episode of American Horror Story: Roanoke.

(It feels good to finally put that subtitle on it, right?)

Also just wanted to reiterate that this week will see no new video bes...

Hey everyone, the next Darkroom episode will be recorded on Monday evening (September 26th), around 9PM EST (USA) using the new Discord server. During next week, the only video to be uploaded will be that Darkroom episode, as we're about to enter what I'm calling the "October Lockdown."

Getting things ready for the next month will require my fullest attention next week--the only non-October things taking place will be the Darkroom video and checking in with everyone on their webseries and ARG ...
