How this works

Hello everyone, thank you for your support, I can't thank you all enough for supporting my videos (and TF2 servers).

For future reference- I will never directly post WIPs or bonus content on here, all Patron rewards/perks will be available through my Discord, so be sure to join it once you become a Patron! If you have any issues joining, please reach out to me on Discord: zesty_jesus.

Hello from the grind

Hey all, just checking in on things here. Work is slowly but steadily progressing on this next big project. As things manifest, I'll continue to post little teasers and WIPs here for those interested. I'll likely do more timelapses of my editing process and post them here as well. It'll be a while, but as many tell me, quality over quantity.

Thank you all for your new and/or continued support, it really helps videos like these get made (which can't be monetized, thanks to music license...

And we're back

Sup guys, I'm back from work in New Zealand (hence why there hasn't been any videos since Mid-March...)

I have two fun videos planned, the first should (hopefully) be out this month, and the second is bringing back an old favorite of mine...

Also, the larger video project I hinted at a couple of months ago has taken a seat on the back burner. I need more time to revise the script until I'm satisfied with it. It's a "serious" topic, so I want to handle it with as much care as pos...

New Patreon Discord Access

Alright, I've made a new Patron-exclusive Discord. I'm running a much tighter ship, the server is not public. It's only for my friends and Patrons, and there are Patron only channels.

And, all tiers have access, and will receive color-coded names based on the tier. This way I can directly connect with my Patrons without getting bogged down by a chaotic public Discord.

Thanks for your patience with me as I sorted this out (still hammering out the kinks in the server so bear with...

Tier 2 Reward Changes

Sup guys. I've made the decision to remove my Discord. I've outright deleted it, since it was becoming too much work/too stressful to manage on top of my day-to-day responsibilities. I know this was the main reason why people support me via Patreon, so I think I've found a new way to make it up to you.

Instead of Discord access, I'll make a discussion/commentary video with topics directly from Tier 2 Patrons. So long as it's SFW and non-political, it's fair game. TF2, non-TF2, whatever ...

Here, enjoy a scrapped video

Here's a video that I may revisit again in the future. I wasn't happy with how this was turning out, so I scrapped it. Most of the IRL video I recorded was incredibly poor quality (borderline unusable), and the script was rushed and stale.

My heart wasn't it, therefore you wouldn't have fun watching the completed product, so here's what I made of it.

This month's timeline

Hey everyone, this month is a bit of a rollercoaster for me. I have a conference for work come the middle of the month, I'm currently scrambling to get presentations prepared.

I have a video planned that I'll try to complete before Christmas, fingers crossed- no one has made a guide for TF2 skins, so I figured the best person for the job is me. After THAT video, I can finally start working on a much bigger project about TF2, Valve, CSGO...should be fun.

Thank you all again for y...

More patron-only perks?

Hey guys, I know I don't do enough for my patrons (aside from offering Discord access), so I wanted to float this idea by you all.

I have the idea of asking you, patrons only, for discussion topics that I could cover in a minimally editing/commentary style format for my second channel. Topics and such that you want my opinion on, questions you'd like me to answer, et cetera. I know this isn't much, but I could cover a few topics a month, in a monthly video (at minimum) or more frequent...

New video in the works!

Sup guys, I know I don't use this website as much as I should, so I figured I'd give you all an update.

I've had a good rest after posting the demoknight video, and I have (what I think to be) a very good idea cooking for the next big project. It's focused more on Valve rather than Team Fortress 2. I'm excited to work on this.

Before that, I have another clip dump planned and in progress. Should I keep calling these Casual Casual? I'm not sure. Seems like the name has worn ou...

Editing the Outro of "Swords and Shields""

I recorded some commentary of my thought processes/technical processes behind editing the outro for this video. This isn't a "how to" so much as a "why I did what I did."

Any other comments or suggestions for bonus content are appreciated!

View Post

Exclusive content idea-

I know some patrons aren't inside of my Discord, so I'll post this here as well-

I was thinking of recording a commentary walking through how I edited the outro for Swords and Shields. This would be patron exclusive content. Is this something that would interest you? If not, what else would you like to see? Let me know!

SOON

IT'S ALMOST DONE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT GUYS
I'M REALLYT EXCITED ABOUT THIS NEXT ONE, I poured a lot of myself into it and it wouldn't have been possible without your financial backing, seriously. I can't thank you guys enough. I hope you will enjoy it once it's done!

Video Progress Update

We filmed something rather....stupid....today for the video. I have sand in my ears but it was very much worth it.

Progress coming along smoothly, hope you're all having a good summer (or winter if you live upside down).

Progress Update- Motion and Info Graphics

Sup guys, just another progress update on the video. I'm in the process of making all of the motion and info graphics for the video, easily the most time consuming part of the entire editing process. After that, it's just a matter of inserting the gameplay and polishing everything up. It's getting there, I swear. Thanks for your support, as always!

Late progress report!!

EDITING IS IN PROGRESS
For those who guessed AoT from the last post, you nailed it. Can't wait for you guys to see this in action.

Thank you all again for your continued support, video coming soon!

Coming Soon...

Sup guys, I know this next video is taking way too long to finish. Editing is underway. I'll likely start posting weekly progress updates on Sundays to keep you guys up to speed, since all of you are funding this endeavor. I really appreciate your continued support, and endless patience for the next video

Have some still frames from the outro I'm working on... guess the anime.

How Many Ways Can You Play TF2? (Bonus Content)

Here is the first REAL bonus content video- this is a scrapped bit from the larger video I'm working on. I didn't want that portion of the script to go to waste, so I recorded it on the fly.

Bonus content ideas?

Hey guys, I know an incentive for my Patreon is bonus content....but I'm not sure what you guys would like to see.

If you have any ideas, let me know! It would also make the Patreon subscription a little more personalized for those here.

Or if you would like other things, I'm all ears.

Thanks, guys

I just want to extend a thanks to you guys. Your support really helps me out. This pays for my Adobe subscription, my internet bill, power bill, etc. Yknow, the things I need to make videos. I really appreciate the support. More fun stuff coming!

Also, if you guys feel like you're being short-changed on extra content, let me know. I know I offer it as an incentive, but I haven't been keeping up with it much. Maybe change it to early access to videos? Let me know what you guys think,...
