I'm going back through and filling some scenes. Here's a few extras i whipped up!

Production Blog 🎬: Sheriff Hayseed Poster!

This will be going up on Fanfiber along with the video itself. I hope you think it looks good! It's my first try at fully compositing art in a while!

The short itself it very much in the hands of VAs and Music artists right now, but I'll try to keep the work up anyway. Refining and such. Wish me luck and stay tuned!

Production Blog 🎬: Paper City Model Super Post!

Albeit not done, here's a bunch of renders from my Blender city, now with a completely reconstructed Suction Cup Man set!!!  Very exciting

Production Blog 🎬: Instant M&Z and SCM backgrounds!

Over the last couple days I've been playing with Blender (Todd Hayseed's voice actor is under the weather and I can't continue until he's well. Send wishes!!!) So in the meantime and furthering my studies into automating backgrounds

Above is my WIP construction of the Mike & Zach series home town, everything from color and shading down to the paper texture is accomplished in blender and can have me preparing full backgrounds in seconds!

In other news, I've decided Mike & Z...

Production Blog 🎬 (GIF): A big lip sync

Joy is back! And she is saying many words in the falling action. With unique mouths every scene and manual jaw adjusting, this was a task (and will continue to be. She ain't done o.o)

Production Blog 🎬: A different kinda scene

im doing some sort of frame by frame, blue print thingy. This happens during a big "AND HERE WAS MY PLAN" bit. And it wasn't actually story boarded like this! I'm just mixing it up from the puppets because i am going insane lmao

Production Blog 🎬: November! Where Are We?

Answer: We're goin'! The Sheriff Hayseed 10 minute short has a mere 1 minute of audio left to animate to. it's all just dialogue, some animation even cheaper.


As for other things, the Minecraft parody, Mike & Zach, and possibly Suction Cup Man are all on the back burner to avoid distractions. Minecraft Parody might see rewrites and new art style. Mike & Zach has TONS of ideas lined up, we just have to pick one to run with. But overall, All efforts are...

good things happen when you keep your puppets loose and off model

Production Blog 🎬: The battle is won!

Some screenies. The climax is complete! Now we face the falling action animationg (Mostly conversation), touch ups, finishing sound, and music.


Not quite in the final stretch yet but we are almost "almost done" lol

Production Blog 🎬: Sack Attack

more of a curtain but you know. Anyway, I think I'm finally back on my grind! Worked all day so far with little dilly dallying. Let's get it ON

Production Blog 🎬: Stupid fucking donkey dies

No this isn't a real frame (unfortunately)

Just a touch of fucking around as I slowly get out of my burn out. Got a bit done recently. Looking to RAMP THIS SHIT UP. LETS GOOOOOOO

Production Blog 🎬: Had myself a burn-out Week

Hey! You may or may not have noticed that I haven't posted for a bit, or frequently when I do. I've just been burning out a bit, so I took a couple days off. I'm feeling better and will try to resume full force! (And I did have a great time playing with Unity while on break. We'll see where that venture goes later ;)

FIGHT SCENES SUCK TO MAKE but i'm pretty happy with this. Definitely some more follow through and corrections to be made but hey it's 'ight.

Production Blog 🎬 (Video): Creeper Lip Syncing

It's weird. But even with that I still firmly believe this is the best form of creeper lip syncing out there.

Production Blog 🎬: Todd's Erotic Chair Dance

Possibly the most complicated piece of animation in the entire short! Just a small part of the fight scene, but it's one of my favorite sequences

Production Blog 🎬: The Big Fight Begins

I've officially gotten into the climax fight. This scene is gonna FUCK me up lol. It's long, it's dynamic and it's fast. God save me

Production Blog 🎬 (GIF): Fun with Simulation!

This is my first try at stuff like this. I thought it might be neat (since i like doing backgrounds in blender) if I could simulate things and animate things that would be too complex to hand animate. Minecraft seemed like an easy place to experiment.
