More than I can chew???

I was gonna get this released for Halloween - can you imagine that!!!
I could whack it out as is but I did want to make it a little fancier, a little more stylish, shinier

So eh we just chip away!
In other words yes I'm procrastinating but that's fine I like listening to Gee x

This month! Such fun!

Nothing like getting back into the swing of working only to get really sick huh??
I finally got COVID proper - and a week into it I'm still down for the count but slightly further away from deaths door!
I have huge plans regardless, and I'm excited to say that myself and gee are going to be returning to our movie podcast YOMP, albeit without our gorgeous lovely Simon just yet.

Hopefully I'll have some exciting things to be posting here soon like when I can smell and taste again ...

SOFT FOCUS - The Best Vampire Movie You Never Watched - I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle

So I literally just got finished with this and since it's friday 13th I thought....I'd whack it up as public and see how the analytics do!

It felt good to finish this, already keen to get cracking on the other videos PLUS something nice in the pipes for halloween....hallo...GEEn???

Feedback loved and appreciated always! Stay scary!

Keeping on keeping on!

Hi team glad to see you.
I've been pretty sick! (Cool) But also poorly (that's uncool). It happens, trying to just do what I can day by day.
Yesterday I did capture some footage for the next video, I'm totally wiped out today but all worth it for a throwaway joke lasting SECONDS.

ALSO a lot of you have been asking about the podcast YOMP - Due to personal shit it's been on hiatus, myself and gee are working to get something going again for you all though because we genuinely love...

Input needed - GUESTS?

There's an idea bouncing around in my brain like two angry coked up businessmen are playing squash with it...
But I'm trying to nail down a format. Long and short I want a guest and something to do with media

This also might be branching off itself idk, sorry to be vague but I wouldn't want to hype you all up for me getting something exciting done then realise I'm just too sleepy.

Ideas welcome!
Also next episode is being edited as we speak. I do still need to do something...

SUBTITLE REALITY

Automatic captioning always has a hard time with my accent which seems to get stronger all the time, so I have to manually check for stupid mistakes. Here are some good ones from this latest video

The Quarterly Rundown! Jan - Mar 2024

As always - please correct me of any glaring mistakes! This one took a heck of a long time because I decided to be really ambitious with the editing bits. One thing I love about editing my own videos is coming up with these ideas on the fly and working to put them in, including days of learning and forgetting :o)

ANYWAY - thumbnail yet to come. Thanks for your patience I love ya lots x x x x

FIEND FINDER

Thought you'd like to see all the individual pages I made for each of the featured boos in the video - including Dr Morbius who I was going to include but all I could come up with was "He has a nice house on a very-unoccupied planet but keeps saying "it's morbin' time" during sex". Really though the footage was too poor quality and I couldn't be bothered getting the whole movie for THAT.

Soft Focus - The Pros & Cons of Dating Mad Scientists

Early Access!
Wow it's here! So I didn't manage to get it onto VHS just yet, but that's something for next time, gotta nail down the process!! 

Enjoy! x

Home stretch!

Man oh man, this one was a bit more labour intensive. So you know when you have an idea and then no clue whether it'll be worth it in the end? Well I still don't know if it'll be worth it.

I've done the edit for the episode, and I decided "hey, what if I give myself some more work??" For that I'm going to put it on cassette and if all goes well it might be cool to do it for all videos going forward
Since it's romantically themed it's really on brand for a release around valentine's ...

Soft Focus - The BEST Christmas TV Specials (in the UK)(in my opinion)

If I upload this here, now, you HAVE to promise to watch it on YouTube as well. for the views. The Blackadder and French & Saunders bits have entirely blocked it on there so I put in fair use disputes! Wish me luck!

The Uncanny

I have spent the last...week or so in a complete editing hole to get this done for Halloween, so patrons, I'm sorry you didn't get early access for this one.
But I DO have a lot of bloopers and a part two to do so hopefully you'll forgive me.

Also the other video I have in the works!
This is my first fling into editing and I had a really good time doing it! My bones had a less nice time, I'm flaring up bad from sitting down for such a long time with the other stuff I do, editing ...

So professional!

Next installment is all filmed now, hopefully all the footage is good to go!

Video teaser!

It's been a while, again, I'm the WORST. After tons of health issues and having to take some decent time off to deal with burnout, I'm gradually getting to move forwards with some video ideas!

I have MULTIPLE scripts finished now, and with (hopefully) less doctors appointments to attend I'll be able to use that time to film them. Here's a pic of what I've been up to recently, I'm making a series of pages and it's time consuming but it'll be worth it!

SOFT FOCUS - Mutant Hunt

Hi kids! It's late here but I was much too excited not to post this. Still got to work on a thumbnail and get the captions sorted before it goes proper proper live but I hope you enjoy!

I also have ideas for the next few videos, just a matter of getting them done. 

Any questions or discussion about this post below and I can maybe do some BTS chatter vid about it all if you'd be interested?

NEXT VIDEO'S MOVIE & upcoming plans

They sort of tie in to one another you see??

In terms of "increasing engagement" and other algorithm bollocks, short-form media seems to be a decent way of going about it (tiktok, reels, shorts) and at least YouTube are monetising shorts now as well. 

FACT: Cat in the Cage video has made an estimated £3.92 in revenue, this is the most I've ever earned.


Anyway, I decided to plan on doing these little bite-sized videos where I try to summarise a movie in under...

Soft Focus Early Access - Cat in the Cage!

Enjoy!! I still have to sort out some CCs and monetisation is a whole other kettle of pigs, but here's the next video!

Exciting stuff!!

Listen, my little brain has been working (slowly) on snippets of little content to slide in and work that algorithm to my advantage

I would LOVE for you guys to suggest some films for me, all will become clearer soon, still involves some work which is awfully disappointing.

I like doing content where it just happens. I like the stuff where I don't have to work. Where a robot throws grapes at me while I lay entangled in a shower curtain.

Anyway, films! Go!

Hello! Thanks for sticking around - everyone gets to see this one for being super cool and it's just a wee update. Take care!

Many appo-logies

Sorry I've not been about and as attentive as I'd like to be!
I landed an amazing brand deal with Prime Video which was much more stressful than you'd initially think! Still a dream come true really so I shan't complain, but it's left me less energy than I'd like for other more creative things.

That SAID I have pretty much finished two tracks and work on a third has begun for a new EP, And I'm ready to start getting the momentum going on videos again

I guess we settled on fig...

Next Soft Focus poll 1: GENRE!

well, in short, my shortlist isn't very short. So I thought to make it more fun (especially if you don't know the films) we can break it down further! Vote away!

Thank you!!

Once again, thank you all for being so patient! I'd love to do an faq vid to put up for patrons only if you have any questions - plus I'll probably just chat about the video a bit. Does that seem cool? Post questions below!

I'll also put up a poll soon to decide the next video because I am raring to go!

More behind the scenes to come!

Since this Halloween video was filmed in two parts I did another lil vlog I'll be uploading shortly!

I got to film this in bed and it wasn't super comfy because I had to sit upright and that's close to impossible! Brenda and Candice both made fleeting appearances though so I'll see if that footage was good enough to make the final cut!

Overall I loved turning my current bed into my bed as a kid (albeit better).
I had some ideas to turn things spookier as I filmed buuut I was...
