2 behind the scenes packs to get us caught up! Rough renders, original scripts and edited outtake reels for the last two Pretzels shorts. I've also started including the full HD render of each video in any event someone wants that. Retroactively added the FNAF Ruin render to it's pack as well!

Molly's second short and also 4th week in a row with a video! I don't think we've ever done that before on the channel. Likewise, we now recluse to work on the next and finally have some weeks without. Probably for mid august, we'll wrap the next Pretzel's Pretzels, "Carv's Wife" and after that should be "How to be Cool" (very excited for that one, the animation is coming along beautifully)

A tad late but it's HERE. Public release tomorrow. The parody of the RUIN DLC for Security Breach, and probably the last FNAF parody until the series interests me again.
What's the future for parodies? I'm back to eyeing the old Minecraft parody music video "Here in the Village." The song just needs finishing. If this FNAF video performs well, it'll be easy enough to put Crowne on the task for hopefully a December release. We'll see how that goes.
Until then, we turn our sights ba...

A first run of video-ifying updates to spend less time typing, get across more information, provide way more to look at, and make it easier to look at. Video updates seem to solve a lot of problems I had with the usual updates!

Short 3 of Pretzel's Pretzels. He may not know it yet but most days at this mall are slow days
Next up will be the bigger short that introduces Molly, the Mall rat. I'm excited for that one, she sucks. Hope you've liked the shorts so far! They're a lot of fun
Hoping to get more longer form stuff out soon too. FNaF animation on the way, probably a music video, and as of the other day I'm looking into doing a new Mike & Zach, Printer Problems style as my wrist injury sees decent...

Another month down and we have some fuuuuun updates for y'all yet again, just as a disclaimer, no, none of this is an April Fool's joke. Seriously. Don't believe me? That's fine, I'm gonna show you a bunch of cool stuff anyway. Let's start with what I'm most excited about for this month, Boob Gross and his artistic endeavors.
Look at him go!
He truly is arting right now.
Here's a longer Pretzel's short! 1 second short of maximum length actually. Hope you like it!
Now the animators work on the next couple episodes. The plan currently is to take April to just work and take our time on them, but we're still uploading 2 other videos we've been making. One of them a first live action sketch!
Pretzel's Pretzels returns in May, which is also when the FNaF Ruin parody is planned to be live but we will see about that.
Till next time!

Greetings mid-Marchers! With cartoon things heating up I figured we could start doing 2 regular posts a month, one around the 1st and another around the 15th. So here's your middle of the month report!
The response to the Pretzel's Pretzels opening short was nice and positive so things move along with the next 3 episodes. Short 2: Should be out this weekend. 2 more are in animation!

Here's the completed style test for what would have been the full length video. Even without finishing the full video, I'm still very proud of this style test.
They're two of the most indepth character rigs I've built. Flexible yet simple and very clean. I love a good rig. It's a shame Toon Boom is getting dramatically worse all of a sudden, it's absolutely screwing with the Storyboard for the full length Hayseed I'm trying to get ready.
But regardless, hope you like t...

Welcome to the return of 5 AM at Freddy's. Hope you like! This video was animated entirely by Crowne Prince and I'm curious to know how that difference feels and if they should handle more videos on their own. Let me know! It was a very different production given the wrist pain but I like the results.
Oh and I said double feature right? Right, here's a full version of the credits song that I almost enjoyed working on more than the parody itself. I do love my music lately. Again hope you...

Unfortunately the wrist pain is still here. Officially it is not carpal tunnel syndrome, but rather appears to be general damage from long-term repetitive use and poor posture. I've been seeing doctors, going to physical therapy twice a week, and soon I'm...

Hi everyone. Here with a slightly unfortunate update today. While trying to make the new Sheriff Hayseed quickly I instead ended up massively worsening some pain that already existed in both my hands. Currently not officially diagnosed as carpal tunnel but it's very much looking that way.
So far, I'm 3 weeks into rest with little recovery to show for it so it's possible I will be out of it for 2 to 3 months. A typical amount of time I've heard it takes to recover.
HOWEVER, here's ...
