Happy April all! Be careful out there today, haha
I read all your comments on the previous post, and most of you suggested we alternate the Q&As and the big video progress updates. I think this is a great idea. I don't want to get rid of the Q&As completely because it's a nice way to stay in touch with you all. So, we'll keep the Q&As on months that don't have "event" videos in the works, and then we'll pause them on months when I work on something big again, like Edward's S...

We are nearing the end of March already. Holy moly that went by fast!
This month I produced one of my favorite ever videos for the channel, and I had a blast working on it. I really enjoyed sharing progress of Edward's Sodor's Finest with you all as it came together. I felt these were a good way of staying engaged with you all, and keeping you all in the loop! So, that brings me to a question I'd like to pose.
Moving forward, how would you all feel if I started catering my Patreon...

Hello everyone! I know this post is much later in the day than I usually post, but I'm pretty excited right now and wanted to share something. Edward's Sodor's Finest is FINISHED! And it will be up for early access tomorrow morning for Controller tier Patrons.
In honor of it, here's the full, clean track of Edward's Theme from the video. Kudos to whoever can guess what the opening bit here is pulled from..!
The theme was composed by One Tram Band, and I absolutely love what he's d...

Happy Monday everyone!
Above are a few more completed VFX shots from the upcoming video. All were done by me except for the close-up of Gordon, which was done by Jacob Jarrett!
We are nearing the finish line with this. All of the voice actors' lines are in, and I've completed the majority of the video essay portion. The Railway Series and Model Series sections are done, and finishing up the CGI section currently.
One Tram Band is completing the score today. My plan is to hus...

Here's the latest progress update on Edward's Sodor's Finest redo!
Above are some more visual edits that were completed for the skits, which reveal more of the story! You saw the opening of Edward's Day Out before. The majority of Edward's Exploit will also be covered! The clenching Edward shot and the wide shed interior shot were completed by me, and the Gordon shot was completed by Jacob Jarrett. The close-up of Edward's boiler is from Jacob's own Gauge 1 replica, which has become qui...

Here's our first progress update on Edward's Sodor Finest redo. I've completed a full rough of all the skits that will feature in the video, and in the midst of sending that out to voice actors to use for reference.
I'm currently in the progress of making visual edits for the intro skit, which will be a retelling of the opening of Edward's Day Out, with a few of my own tweaks! Here's a few screenshots of the completed edits.
I'll have another update so...

Hello everyone! I have returned from my honeymoon and am officially back at work. For those wondering, my wife and I went to Disney World for it! We had a blast there, but are admittedly happy to be back home now, haha.
I want to disclose what my plan is here for March. I was away during when we usually have the monthly Q&A, but instead of doing that, I thought maybe we change things up this month.
I am about to start work on a brand new Sodor's Finest, and it's one that m...

SURPRISE!
I have one more video going out this month. I figured now was a good as time as any to update that Deleted Scenes compilation for Seasons 1-7 that I did ages ago on my old channel. This new compilation features everything from Seasons 1-7 and Magic Railroad (excluding the human scenes).
Open now for Controller tier Patrons. Enjoy!

Hellooooooooo everybody! Got a spanking new video going public this Friday. This one is a deep dive into several deleted scenes from Thomas, wildly speculating what the context of them are, and why they might've been cut.

Sorry for the delay everyone! Had to fix an editing error and re-uploading took awhile. But it's here now! Many of you have asked for an updated model train collection video. I figured the start of 2024 was a perfect time to go through everything. Enjoy your early access!

Hello all, and Merry early Christmas!
Just want to give you all an update on progress of the next video. I was hoping to get one more video out this year, but I got sick last week and was unable to record anything. And with Christmas next week, I don't think I can get a new one finished for early access next Wednesday.
I have started work on a new video though, and it's a fairly big one! It is a Thomas one, and I got the idea for it from a Thomas Debunked short. I'll explain more ...

Happy December all! Man, 2023 flew by. Can't believe it's almost over.
I have a new video coming this Friday - the long-awaited Part 2 to How I Built The Layout! I wanted to get another update on that out before the year ended.
With that out of the way and all the other videos promised, I'd like to get ONE more video out before December is over. And I'll let you all decide what that is!
No poll this time. Instead, let's do what we did earlier this year again and you all tell...

Helloooo everybody! If you remember a little while back, I promised you all I'd do 3 videos in order - a new Sodor's Finest, Season 8 Retrospective, and a video covering all the callbacks to the old show made in the CGI series of Thomas. Today, the final of the 3 is out!
This video gave me a lot of trouble copyright-wise. YouTube's copyright bots really don't like The Adventure Begins footage! Never had an issue before, so I guess they're cracking down. A shame, but found a way around i...

Happy Friday all! I was hoping to have the Season 8 Retrospective out this week, but I've been traveling and didn't get a chance to finish it and make the thumbnail. It WILL be out next week, with early access on Wednesday!
In the meantime, I wanted to share a new little something that will debut in that video - The Unlucky Tug theme song has returned! One Tram Band has generously recomposed the Boomer theme in a lo-fi style, and it will be the music that ends all videos moving forward...

That was an exciting poll. Sodor's Finest and The Retrospective were neck-and-neck all day. Sodor's Finest just squeaked by though, so that will be the next video!
It's funny, Retrospective was in the lead for awhile and I thought it was going to win so I started watching Season 8 yesterday, lol.
What do you all think about me making all 3 of these videos, starting with SF first?
