New Video!

Sorry, wasn't able to get this one out for early release, but enjoy! Once I opened the can of worms that is the scientific process, I realized just how challenging it was to accurately compare these three printers, but hopefully the testing results are worth it!

New office update, minis, and more! BTS #105

The move into the new office has been gradual. This is what we've done so far. I've picked up a lot of bits and bobs that are fairly unglamorous like..

..a mirror for above the sink..

..and coat hooks so there's somewhere for your jacket during the colder seasons. We've also moved all the stuff f...

Black Friday Stuff, Lizards, and more! BTS #104

What up, mini family?! We're quickly approaching Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving here in the United States. It's quite a shopping bonanza so I like to have at least 1 new merch/product item for the occasion because it ends up being a considerable chunk of my yearly revenue. I wanted to make a really awesome hoodie for winter so I teamed up with our local clothing vendor and we found a really awesome tie-die hoodie! The graphics were drawn up by @Noirfade on Instagram and he did an ab...

Molds and Signs! BTS #103

Last week saw me diving into the world of mold creation with my latest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SiJei3jALQ

 I won't repeat anything I said in the video for the sake of brevity, but I figured I mention extra details. 

Another reason I thought it was clever to use cobalt keep bases t...

New Office Space! BTS #102

It's been a while since we spoke last! I'll be honest when I say trying to do weekly videos again while also juggling preparing my Kickstarter campaign and pursuing my other creative endeavors has become quite challenging. Like Bilbo in The Fellowship of the Ring, I'm beginning to feel like butter spread over too much bread. I feel as though I'm in a bit of a transitional phase at the moment. I can definitely leverage an editor/camera assistant at this point, but am not financially confident ...

ASOIAF Night with Dan v.s. Curtis

That auto thumbnail was too good not to use....Enjoy this slightly higher production value battle report. I'm pretty unhappy with how the upload itself looks. Because my twitch channel isn't popular enough to be considered worthy of partnership, I have no live transcoding. This means, whatever resolution I stream at is what people watch it at. Because of this, I often stream at 720p so more people can watch. Maybe with more game streams we can look at getting partnership.

New videos, new camera gear, exciting news! BTS #101

What up, mini family?! Apologies for missing last week's BTS post. I was enjoying a little vacation in NYC. Amber and I like to go regularly and absolutely stuff our faces with food. Here's a picture of Little China. There's a restaurant here called Nom Wah Tea Parlor that we really enjoy!

We also got to go to the Museum of the Moving Image to check out the Stanley Kubrick exhibit. I got to see...

This one was a long time coming. I feel like I wasn't able to fully capture the magic of recess shading in this video because I had to finish this video in 3 days (2 of which were the weekend). Let me know your thoughts.
