Q&A LIVESTREAM (and CREDITS SHIFT)

Hey, everyone!! I mentioned this idea a little while back (see that post for more details) but I'm moving the credits tier up and changing this tier to be a livestream kind of thing!

Patrons of this tier will no longer appear in the credits, BUT hopefully the livestream is fun.

I'm looking to do the first one at the end of this month--potentially on the 29th!

I hope everyone is well, I'll have more details about my next animation soon. 👀👀

CREDITS CONUNDRUM

Hello, Club ROYALTY!! I've been thinking about this for a bit now, I think I'm having a credits conundrum...

I really like for the credits in my animations to feel like part of the short, and to feel cohesive--but there's a lot of names I need to include (over 1000!! thank you everyone! 😭)

I'm not sure how I can display all those in a reasonable manner, and the techniques I've seen other Youtubers use aren't very appealing to me.

SO... my plan is to change the $5 to somet...

BONK

most of the modelling is done and I'm animating now

here's a (very low sample lol) preview render

ALL ABOARD!

YAJIMA!!

bonus ACTION POSES

CAPTAIN YAJIMA (boards)

here's the boards for my upcoming short CAPTAIN YAJIMA! featuring PROFESSOR GENIUS

yes, it's quite long 😂😂😂 we'll see how long it takes to animate

this is all gonna be in the faux-stop-motion style I used for Dried Up Old Bones, although leaning more '70s than '60s aesthetic-wise

here's some more concept art (see previous post for more details)

CAPTAIN YAJIMA

I'm finishing up the boards for my next short... "CAPTAIN YAJIMA"!

it's a collaboration with my friends over at RASH A1M, I wrote the script in english then it was translated to japanese and recorded by their wonderful performers!

if you haven't seen them, RASH A1M dubbed all th...

Wire (making-of)

not a ton to talk about but I touch on recording the song later in as well as the foley

Wire

here's a high-quality upload of the song!

I've sent it out to streaming services on distrokid and it should be available everywhere in about a week 👍

BONK

still working on this

LONG WAY DOWN

long-time patrons will likely remember "Wire" (everyone else may have to dig back through old storyboard posts sorry jslfd)

but this is a video I've had boarded for like 2 years now and has been on the major backburner

I MAY BE DOING IT THIS MONTH THOUGH... we'll see...

it's almost entirely 2D, no 3D shortcuts here, so it will probably take me a bit to animate 😅😅

hope everyone's doing okay!

Dried Up Old Bones (Making-Of)

things get a little unhinged in the second half I had just woken up LOL

I had a lot of stuff I cut bcus it was boring, but hopefully I cover most of the stuff people are interested in here!

Outro (music)

I just finished assembling the pieces for this!! this is the end credits song for the upcoming animation

featuring some WONDERFUL marimba played by percussionist andrew nittoli! (previously featured in xylophone 🦴)

His Tail Looks As White As The Snow!

the only part of the video that's even vaguely christmasy LOL

MORE CRITTERS

I think I've got concept art for ALL of them now

which is LIKE having them modeled

just minus all the modeling and rigging

and texturing........ and.....

CAMERA TEST

barring some tweaking I've about finished the main set!!

next I'm going to begin modeling The Critters... The Many, Many Critters

(see previous posts for concept art of them)

BONES...

this one's a bit slow-going, I'm not sure when it'll be done

BUT... it is coming along!!

Some Critter Concepts

Concepts For Critters

(for next video)

Dried Up Old Bones (boards)

here's the boards for my next short!!

featuring "Dried Up Old Bones" written and performed by Tom Willett!!!

this is all made with featureman's permission and uses one of his old songs (with a little extra instrumentation from me)

it's gonna be done in a vintage stop-motion style and should be a lot of fun

modelling and rigging all these animals is gonna be wild LOL

HIATUS

WOW I can't believe it's almost been a month since my last post, that's a bummer 😭

I've been busy working on a project with my brother and just generally taking care of my health, but I meant to have... more stuff to post LOL

I should be back to making stuff in November, but until then--I'm thinking of pausing the patreon billing cycle for this month since I really didn't do anything... 😂😂

(also the ad revenue has been good and I think it's only fair)

I hope y...

Free Apple (making-of)

what on EARTH is happening with the thumbnail for this I'm scared

I'm just seeing it now

it's so unsettling I can't focus on anything else

uh... I HOPE YOU ENJOY ETC.

Jason & Friends (making-of)

HERE'S THIS

should I do BTB: KID or Free Apple next??

Someday Someone

Will Dig Up My Dried Up Old Bones...

(potential next project!! I'm taking a little break post-free-apple to ruminate though and hopefully do some making-of stuff)

FRIDAY...

I've still got a bit of animating to do but it's ON TRACK to come out early friday!!

or possibly late thursday LOL

YOU WERE CORRECT!

🔥👄🔥 

GANG'S ALL HERE

I opted to use 3D for the portraits but I'm hand-painting the shading and keeping the movements VERY minimal to try and achieve that king's quest 5/6 talking head vibe 😂

it's a lot of fun

BIGTOP BURGER: ELK (making-of)

here's the (VERY LONG) behind-the-scenes for ELK!!

let me know if you have any questions

HOPE Y'ALL ARE WELL!
