The full video of the process involved with making the house in Project Blue is here! This is Video Update #2.

At long last, the house is complete! All the clapboard work is done, all the paint touchups, all the little objects and doors are made. I can move on to the next item crafting phase, which should be a lot quicker.
I call it... 0.1 Ash Tree Lane.
2019-02-17 17:02:18 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings to all new pledgers and returning patrons for the Patreon! Very glad to see you here and for those returning, to have you back in our company! If you take a look through the posts on the Night Mind page, you'll be able to see the patron-exclusive updates for what's been under construction for the next video as well as something nobody on YouTube really knows about.

Interior is DONE! (Except for one door I'm saving for my "it's finished" moment.) Roof is on, base of the porch is attached. Now, exterior!

I'm even getting confused now how long I've been going on this. But here is the merciful last step for major interior work on the house: "carpeting!"

Red, green, blue, yellow, white, and black. All the colors.

Painting is well under way! Need to get a good amount of it done before I can glue down some doors in their proper places and move on to other building moments. Still have a porch to attach to this front area, got to put a roof on, and add the shingles and siding.

Walls are up for most of the first floor. You can see now the whole structure is going to be in two halves you can just pull apart for easy interior reveal.

Tonight, I'll be doing my first day of heavy work crafting the miniatures I need for Project Blue. I often find myself needing old tools (like my hot glue gun, box cutters, etc) more often than expected with channel projects.
Right now is a lot of wood cutting and gluing.
One of the key items needed for Project Blue was a big black trunk--something old, worn, with leather handles and a sense of mystique and prestige. Wood-lined inside.
I met with my actor for the first time last night and today, he finds this trunk. I sped over and bought it immediately.
And now, if you know the source material for what Project Blue is, you definitely know what I'm making, now.
Also met with my musician, his work is coming along g...
Scripting for 'Project Blue':
- Began January 20th, 2019 at 3:00 PM
- Completed February 3rd, 2019 at 3:40 AM
78 pages. 3 parts.
It will be nearly 4 hours of content for one topic.
At last, this phase is over.
2019-02-03 08:48:14 +0000 UTC View PostI finished parts one and two for Project Blue.
I didn't anticipate needing two big parts, but they're written and I'm 90% done with all my writing and I just get to zoom through part 3 in a much more freeing format with like, 30% the size of a single major part.
You know that feeling when you've just made it through hour 7 of the workday and now you clock out in less than an hour and you're kicking it off with a nice long bathroom and soda machine break?
That's h...

Thanks to everyone who came to the Christmas charity livestream last month to raise money for Apraxia Kids! We raised $950, which ain't too bad for our first time doing something like this!
As for regular Night Mind news, all of you here who have been reading my updates know precisely what's happening: Project Blue (which a lot of you have a clue about by now) and Project Monochrome.
Project Blue is going very well, especially today. I spoke with my actor for a meetup, I me...
2019-01-30 20:15:53 +0000 UTC View PostSecond Project Blue video update isn't out yet because I really don't have any visual components yet. Kind of hard to make a video when all I have to show is script because, you know, I can't exactly show off my script, haha.
End of week. End of week I should have some substantial video I can use.
2019-01-29 01:19:30 +0000 UTC View PostPart Two is complete. This fight is harder than my plan to have just finished it yesterday, but I'm making headway.
I'll admit, I've got a lot of the old Marble Hornets: Explained fears coming back to me. "It's too long; you're retreading more than you're reviewing/explaining; no one is going to stick out this long for multiple parts."
Just gotta keep remembering I know better. History tells the tale. And the way this demands I do it is the way it has to be and I know I'm bringing...
2019-01-29 01:12:58 +0000 UTC View Post40 pages and past the big hallelujah halfway mark. I finally got to do the big "revelation time" thing #1. #2 comes at the end.
But damn it feels nice to make it halfway after all this time.
I am finishing this script tomorrow. I want this beast slain.
We're on our way home, kiddos.
2019-01-27 07:33:09 +0000 UTC View PostThrowing out the last script after revelations meant a little catch up. I'm more than caught up.
27 pages so far. Not even halfway, I don't think. I'm going to need to be slightly merciless as an editor this time.
Maybe it's the bulk of all the extra instructions I've left myself in the same pages making it so long. Don't really know.
I'm tired and tomorrow is Saturday and it barely feels like Friday has happened, but I'm not able to keep going right now. It's a lot of scrip...
2019-01-26 03:42:48 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, that's a wrap for today. Went at it for a few hours more after the last post and I'm deep into the midst of things. Got more ideas as I went going for how to film and what to film and some of what these passages mean.
This really does feel like another Marble Hornets: Explained level project. I keep making notes, going over notes, realizing new things.... there's so much material. I'm just glad it's all in one package this time.
Work continues tomorrow. Should have my new...
2019-01-21 05:05:36 +0000 UTC View Post9:08 PM, six hours. New script is up to 3.5 pages. Stopped there upon realizing the only way forward is to make a new document form outlining things--or at least, adding a whole new section of info to an existing outline, because that, in turn, will outline the path forward for the script itself.
Documents upon documents for this project. I can't complain, though, because it's only furthering my understanding while helping me catch bits I didn't notice before, and there is always 2019-01-21 02:12:55 +0000 UTC View Post
I had 10 pages of script for Project Blue already written up this week by the time I had a revelation about the way it can, and honestly, should go according to everything I know about it and what my channel is.
After talking out the idea I had with my actor, we chose to pursue it. Now, it's time to rewrite the script. This calls for a fresh approach, new direction. And it's going to be... considerably more work, at least in the sense of hours used, but it will be, hop...
2019-01-20 19:58:22 +0000 UTC View PostUsually, I don't have a gargantuan task scripting. I can bang it out in a day, day and a half, most of the time.
This one, I already know, is going to take longer than usual.
Worth it? I'm praying so.
2019-01-15 10:27:42 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, project consultation day! Send me a message here or on Discord to continue or get started. If I don't answer right away, don't worry, I'll reply in due time later or tomorrow.
2019-01-13 19:36:51 +0000 UTC View PostIn the endgame for the initial note reviewing and further researching on Project Blue, which leads me to the land of a forum that was mostly active in 2006.
It feels so clean and so wholesome, and so incredibly young and right in everything it is. Reminds me so much of the Happy Cube forum from The Wyoming Incident, this area of people getting together for the discussion of things that are fresh and exciting and a grand adventure full of secrets and discoveries, all re...
