REport: One Last Gift From 2023

HeyJ, crew. Not quite the update I wanted to make, or even expected to be making. This year has absolutely demolished morale at points, but it’s also hopefully the gateway by which next year goes really, really well (or at least significantly better!)

Thank you for encouraging us through the ups and downs, and apologies that we’ll be missing yet another monthly musical after all this prep and planning. 😓 I’ll look up the photo from the start of the year so we can all appreciate...

REport: Bunny Besties ❤️

⚠️ MINOR SPOILERS! ⚠️

HeyJ, team. Sorry for the slow updates! We have a ton to report, but let’s start small: with a couple familiar faces, chilling together on the set of FNAF: Dark Remains. 😎

We didn’t discuss much plot in this REport, but I still marked this as a spoiler in case you didn’t want to know who shares scenes with who.

We’re planning to pop in with another update specific to our Christmas song in the next 24 hours or so. Thank you so much for...

REport: Balloon Boy’s Got MOVES!

⚠️⚠️ MINOR SPOILERS! ⚠️⚠️

HeyJ, team! I know this seems wild, but we discovered a nifty trick or two that we never knew Balloon Boy was capable of while filming recently! How we’ve had him for over five years and never figured him out entirely is pretty insane! 😂

We’ve been VERY busy on new scenes and will have a couple more REports to share as we start importing footage. We still don’t know how much info is *too* much, but there are 100% spoilers fort...

REport: That’s a Wrap on 🪣

HeyJ, team! We’ve been shooting a ton and have possibly our busiest week of the entire year coming up (probably one of the busiest in RE history, to be honest!) Shooting has been mostly fine, though yesterday’s filming was rife with struggles. 💀 Not every day on set goes smoothly, especially where FNAF is involved!

We owe you an update about our holiday song for December, so stick around and we’ll explain it on a near-future REport!

Beard Salute!

REport: Not the Twist You Were Expecting...

HeyJ, everyone! Today's REport is an important one, and I want to stress how much problem-solving went into this situation. While this update was not one we had intended to ever make, every member of the RE team continues to feel completely confident that it was the correct choice. I hope once you get to see some of the footage in action, you agree with us as well!

We've now filmed about a third of the script, by my estimation. That doesn't seem like so much, but it feels like massive p...

REport: Happy Birthday, Nate! 🥴

HeyJ, squad! I swear, we’re giving Nate a real birthday party after this! 😅 He’s been working hard all day (we all have!) adding new sets and preparing for another shoot on Monday… one with a song!

We have tons more to do, especially with a holiday approaching and a few days off, but rest assured, we’ll share bits and clips with you here on Patreon all along the way. 😎 Thanks so much for your support!

Beard Salute!

REport: The Art Avalanche!

HeyJ, pals! Finally, a REport with no FNAF spoilers… unless maybe you go digging for them… 😏 We’ve collected a massive stockpile of incredible fan-made art to hang on set, and have even set up a production schedule finally for virtually every scene left to shoot (and a little time for a Christmas song and a January musical!)

The next REport will be a little bit weird… Brace yourselves and trust us! 🥴 The Impossible Project never gives any quarter, but Random Encounters is ...

REport: Something’s Different About You… 👀

HeyJ, team! ⚠️⚠️ Light spoilers again! ⚠️⚠️ No plot details discussed or filming shown, but we can’t update you on some of these shoots and avoid a whiff of what’s to come entirely. 😅

There’s been a fair share of extra challenges cropping up this month, but we’re doing our best to find fast, effective solutions! 😤 We had to reschedule a major scene or two last week, and have a big decision to work through this week (which you may find out about...) Hopefull...

REport: Injury on the Field!

⚠️⚠️MINOR SPOILERS FOR DARK REMAINS IN THIS REPORT!⚠️⚠️

(Sorry, I got in big trouble over spoilers online a week ago. 🥴 Better safe than sorry, I guess!)

HeyJ, team! I tried posting this a day ago and wondered why nobody ever watched it… Turns out, something went wrong and it never went live! 😱 We’ve filmed several more scenes since, so there will be more fresh updates shortly (assuming Patreon doesn’t keep wating them… 😒)

Just to clarify abo...

Patreon-exclusive Discord Chat at 12:30 Pacific

HeyJ, everyone! Wow, it's been a long time since our last Patreon-exclusive Discord call, but at 12:30PM Pacific (half an hour after our Minecraft music video premieres!), I'll be hopping on with my headset to chat for a bit!

Our primary discussion topic will be the new musical, but I expect there will also be a little talk of FNAF, moving to a new house, and a group question that will probably be sleep-related! ;)

I'll stick around about an hour, so feel free to drop by late or c...

REport: Shaming the Peestain 💩

HeyJ, pals. A little out of order, but as promised, here’s a little update video we filmed after Mr. Meowse moved to the new house and, uh, promptly caused a nightmarish poo-pocalypse. 😑

He’s doing a hundred times better now, btw. Thanks for thinking of him. It’s safe to say no one at RE (or even among the fan community) will miss our last house more than Mr. Meowse will. 😿💔 But I promise, he’s warming up to the new one a little more every day and will soon be strutting...

REport: A Late Night at the Office 🌛

HeyJ, crew! It’s been a hot minute, but it is my great pleasure to welcome you back to a familiar office some of you have been itching to return to… 😏 Believe me, the feeling is mutual! We can’t wait to get some cameras rolling and begin teasing scenes, but unfortunately, a lot of our schedule is dictated by the humans of Freddy Fazbear’s (the puppets have much more flexible schedules!)

There’s a bit more music to share shortly, and we’ll be busy constructing more props a...

REport: Welcome Home! 🏠

HeyJ, Encounterers! You’ve joined us moving from LA to Lancaster, and then Lancaster to Palmdale, and today, we’re pleased to have you move again with us to Apple Valley, California! 🍎

This location offers a ton of space (which we’ll show you more of!), as well as more direct connections to Las Vegas, San Diego, and Orange County. The trade-off is that Hollywood is a bit extra of a drive, but we’ve found many of our collaborators have moved further out from LA’s center, mak...

REport: The Wild… West? 🌵

HeyJ, team! Here’s one more surprise guest for our final vacation REport, and this one’s finally filmed in France! 🇫🇷 Not that it LOOKS much like France… 😂

This one’s just for fun. No real project updates or work to share — just RE having fun! Our next REport will be back in America, and it’ll have some cool new production updates finally. 🙂

Thanks for making both our jobs and our silly vacations possible!

Beard Salute!

REport: A Perfectly Normal Recording 😏

HeyJ, team! I think this one is better posted without comment. 😏 Thanks for your loyal support and patience, and stick around — more cool updates will be coming!

Beard Salute!
~AJ

Patreon just sent us this…

*insert Slowpoke meme here*

Just had to laugh when this arrived today in our inbox. 🤣 Happy ONE YEAR, everybody! 🥳

REport: Alternate Universe Misedor 👑

HeyJ, crew! We’re out of country right now, but this exquisitely dresses fellow dropped in on us right before we left and agreed to do a REport together! I think he’s royalty of some kind, and he talked a lot about money… 😅 This wasn’t a business visit, btw — just a chance to see a friend for a minute, and dress up in a cool costume. 😉

We had another friend visit right before departing for France, and that one WAS here on business, so we’ll upload that REport shortly. ...

REport: It’s a Lewk (Not a good one)

HeyJ, team. Welcome to one of the last “normal” REports you’ll see, because we’re TEARING THIS PLACE APART FOR MOVING! We’re also collabing with CG5 on a secret music video next month (keep it hush!) and this will be part of my costume. 🧐 Thanks for your support and keep an eye out for updates. You should see some familiar sets returning soon!

Beard Salute!

REport: New Props and Old Actors 😏

HeyJ, crew! A bit of a beefy update coming your way, but mostly all good stuff! 🤫 It’s becoming a HYPER PACKED end of the year, but that means more updates for you (and hopefully more progress for us!) I promise to pop back on camera with some friends next time. 😉

Beard Salute!

REport: Moving Challenge Video

HeyJ, everyone! Nothing ground breaking here -- in fact, we're moving toward there being, well, NOTHING AT ALL here! Some of the house has been boxed up, though before we got too far, we wanted to do a fun little challenge/tribute to this house that we've filmed... (*counts on fingers*) ...a butt ton of videos in! We'll take some time to edit it, but it'll be fun to see how many projects we completely missed from the past six years!

We haven't gotten any progress, unfortunately, in proc...

REport: Shopping Trip!

EDIT: Ahhhh! You guys are so flippin' nice to send your sweet comments! 😭 Seriously, thank you for reminding me that, no matter how niche RE may be, it's not stupid -- at least, not to everyone. 🤣 And I'm glad even dumb little errands like this are interesting enough to include in a REport. We'll try to focus on more updates like this!

HeyJ, crew! We’re out on a shopping trip this time — but (spoilers) not a very successful one… 🥴

I’ve ...

REport: It’s Official 🏠

HeyJ, team! Thanks for bearing with us during another slow spell on RE. I’m happy to finally share an update about what’s been happening here behind the scenes, as well as your first taste of new songs being written for FNAF: The Musical. I could talk for HOURS about what we’re planning, but I’ll wait and tease out more info as we get closer to more filming.

Thanks for your support! Beard Salute!

REport: TRASHING THE HOUSE!

HeyJ, team! Thought we’d check in while doing a little cleaning out… It always breaks my heart throwing out notable props (if only we could open an RE museum instead!), but we need to clear as much space as possible for puppets, evil bunnies, and stunts Gwen still hasn’t entirely signed off on… 😇 I’ll do my best to share a clip on here from our next script read. Down to 92 pages now, and about 6 of those are already filmed!

Thanks for your continued support during these dow...

REport: ALL the Songs!

HeyJ, crew! Got a couple neat things to show you today And I KNOW you’ve been waiting on updates! Thanks for both your patience and support!

Beard Salute!

REport: FNAF is Taking Over Our Home (Again)

HeyJ, crew. Sorry for the silence since our last update. I filmed this days ago but forgot to get it uploaded! 💀 Should have fresh news for you on several fronts shortly!

Beard Salute!

REport: The FNAF Movie They Didn't Announce

HeyJ, crew! I apologize for the lack of updates lately. We've been struggling to know how much to reveal about the future of FNAF: The Musical, which has really made discussing it with you complicated... Imagining some of you seeing 'Dark Remains' for the first time on YouTube with little warning about its content or runtime was a very tempting incentive for keeping so many secrets, but the truth is, you're part of the team, and you deserve to be filled in a bit further on why things have mov...

Andrew Baldwin Memorial Page

For anyone who has not yet heard through our discord, we are sorry to say that Andrew Baldwin, a member of our patreon community passed away earlier this week. He had been an active and bright part of our community, and everyone here at RE was saddened to hear this news. I'm leaving a link to a tribute wall created by his friends and family below, and I hope that if you have good memories to share, you'll consider writing something to help celebrate his life.

OUR FIRST TRADING CARD BOSS IS HERE!

HeyJ, team! Allow me to introduce you to our first RE Trading Card Game boss, MAFIA GUY!

We've tinkered and toyed with him long enough, and now it's time to hand this fella over to you all for testing-- er, I mean, enjoyment! 😅 

Rather than posting the files here and making future Patreon Encoun...

REport: World’s Worst Lyric Challenge 😖

HeyJ, pals! Just touching base a moment about some of RE’s work this week. We’ll be traveling several days, but should have more news afterword to share. 🙂

REport: The Real Reason We Went to Kansas City

HeyJ, everyone! We made it back from Missouri... or was that Kansas...? Turns out, both were true! We had an incredibly busy weekend out of town, but I'm so excited to say we came back with the TRULY FIRST SHOTS of FNAF the Musical: Dark Remains, and they're *SUPER* cool!

We unfortunately only managed to grab a minute with some of the cast and crew between shots (not during any), so this won't likely give you much insight into the adventures Freddy and friends will be up to, but even ju...
