Noclip Podcast #08 - Update Show (March 2019)

Hey folks!

Bit of a change of pace on the latest show. There's been so much going on here at Noclip HQ that myself and Esteban decided to chat about it all. What we've been up to over the past few months, our time in Chicago shooting the Mortal Kombat stuff, and what we've planned for GDC and beyond. If these are popular we might do them from time to time.

The episode after this will be the Jeff Gerstmann podcast you've all been asking for. Almost done editing it.

Enjoy!

Surprise!

Last week myself and Esteban flew to Chicago for a day to do some interviews with the folks at NetherRealm Studios. Officially it was a press & influencer event, but we basically used it as an excuse to record a few interviews with three members of the team off to the side. I'm using this as a test bed for piggyback...

Jeremy Broke His Foot! - Sign His "Get Well Soon" Card

Hey Patrons!

Alright, I need your help!

Noclip camera op and director of photography Jeremy Jayne broke a bone in his foot last week kicking a chair accidentally while making dinner or something. The poor lad is resting up for a few weeks as we've got five days of interview filming prepped for GDC in just a few weeks time. Jeremy loves being outdoors and exploring the wilds of Northern California on his days off, but is sadly housebound for now. So I thought it would be nice to se...

New Doc: The Untold Story Behind Astroneer's Difficult Development

Hey Patrons,

Here it is. I know that many of you may not have played this game, but this doc more than any we've done before, is something that anyone can watch and take something away from.

It was the most difficult story I've ever had to edit, and had to frequently take breaks for my own mental health. So if you're i...

Noclip Podcast #07 - Lucas Pope (Papers Please / Obra Dinn)

A bunch of people asked us to track down Lucas for a full doc on Papers Please and/or Return of the Obra Dinn. Sadly for us he wasn't too interested in a full production (understandably, he works from his family home in Japan) but was more than happy to come on the podcast and let me pick his design brain. 

In our chat we talk about his early career at Naughty Dog, going indie to make Papers Please, and the trouble with researching old boats. I absolutely loved this conversation an...

What's coming in February?

Hey Noclip Community!

I just wanted to post an update on what to expect this month. I've mentioned a lot of this in videos, discord and our patron show but I appreciate some of you don't watch all the BTS videos so apologies if there's some repetition here for folks that do.

So sorry that it's been a little quiet lately when it comes to new docs. Our big January project was postponed last minute so we had to scramble to get some other stuff prepared. It's been a busy few weeks wit...

Hey Patrons,

I'm currently in Orlando on a sort-of family vacation, but in honestly I'm spending most of my time editing both our documentary on Astroneer, and putting the final touches on the second episode of Hades: Developing Hell. Both of which will be coming this month. It's not an ideal situation but we lost traction when our January project was postponed and we're suffering a bit on the Patreon numbers as result, so I'm working hard to make sure we get some cool new stuff on the ...

Hey Behind The Scenes Patrons!

One of the things that came up from our recent Patron survey was a lack of behind-the-scenes videos so we're going to film a bunch more of them in 2019. Here's the first - some clips and from our short 2 day shoot in Seattle filming our doc on Astroneer.

Apologies for the late post, I just arrived in Ireland for what was meant to be a pit-stop on the way to filming out next do in Europe. Since that doc was pushed back a few months I ended up with a random stay at home with family instead - which is a nice bonus. So yeah I had a nice week...

Patron Poll - Are you a satisfied Patron?

Hey folks!

I'm about to take a transatlantic flight which usually means I sit down and think about Noclip and what we should be doing for 6-9 hours. It's been a crazy week of booking 2019 projects but I'm also looking at the ways in which we could be doing a better job. 

My feeling is that the past 2 years did a solid effort of putting down a foundation of work, and that in 2019 I'd like to continue to do more doc work and really grow and engage our community here on Patreon,...
