Burrow Q & A

Burrow is here to answer your questions! Thank you again for all of them, Burrow answered as many as they could before their eye sockets dried up!

Here come Mr Christmas!

Hi there! Here's the final video for the year! It's just a silly little short song I put together. I actually built the Mr Christmas mask a few years ago around Chrustmus time but ran out of time to use it. It's nice that he finally had his moment! But anyway, hope you have an awesome Chrustmus and thanks so much for your support this year! You rule! Take care, Will! (I've actually edited the link as the audio levelling was a bit funny on the original)

Chrustmus Candy Design Sketches

Hi there! So just in-case you wanted to have a closer look at the design sketches for the unused candy concepts I though I'd upload some snappy snaps of my sketch book. There's also some design sketches of the other candies that I actually used in the video. And no some graphite covered insect has not pulled itself across the pages, that's actually my handwriting. I know, I know. Gold medal for anyone who can actually read it. As you can see the designs are often pretty basic, I tend to have ...

Unused Christmas Candy Concepts

Hi there! Merry almost Chrustmus! So I ran out of time filming the Chrustmus Candy video and actually had a few other candy ideas that weren't finished in time that I thought you might want to see some designs, sketches and partly finished props of what could have been... CHRUSTMUS!

Trying Christmas Candy From Other Dimensions

Hi there! Did you know that it's nearly CHRUSTMUS?!?! So I've put together a beautiful Chrustmus themed video just for you to tear the wrapping paper off of and shove into your eye flaps! I hope you enjoy my beautiful gift! Cheers, Will

More In Progress Christmas Candy Images!

Hi there! The most Chrustmussy time of the year is fast approaching and what better way to get you in the Chrustmus spirit than sharing with you some more in progress images of my delicious assortment of Chrustmus candy from other dimensions! Bet you feel all warm and Chrustmussy now! There's a lot going into the props of this video, just like all of the Candy/food videos but I'm really happy with how it's all shaping up now. Feast your eyes upon Jolly Jack, my fleshy chrustmus cracker, Candy...

Making some Chrustmus Candy!

Hi there! So the most Chrustmussy time of the year will soon be upon us and in the spirit of the festive season I thought I'd do something a bit different and try some Chrustmus Candy from other dimensions this time! So these are just a few in progress images of a couple of candies. I'm excited, are you excited!? Also please enjoy this picture of a large foam donut I made. Cheers, Will!

Making of the Burrow Monster

So I was searching through a old hard drive and stumbled upon the footage of (probably about half of) the making of the Burrow Monster. For some reason I didn't film the whole process back when I made the monster, but I thought I'd cut together everything I did film to at least share here! So here's a somewhat incomplete look at the prop building process of the Burrow Monster. Enjoy!

Couples Therapy: Some Behind The Scenes Images

Hi there! It's only a short shot, but it took the most effort out of any of the shots in the video to film! Just wanted to share how I achieved the final image in Couple's Therapy when all three of us are lying in the burrow. Now the shot is quite dark, so hopefully you noticed the soil I was lying on...? Please say you did! So to achieve this incredibly impactful shot, that you all definitely noticed the soil on, I first taped some brown photography paper to my office floor and positioned th...

The Burrow: Couples Therapy

Hi there! So here's the early Patreon preview release of my next video that follows on from the story in The Burrow. Will and Burrow are going through some relationship difficulties and they're trying to work through it. Starring my good friend Chester, which is always a treat! This is essentially the finished video. minus the end screen patron monsters and I might tweak the audio and grade a bit, but otherwise it'll be the same when I release it on my channel this weekend. Hope you enjoy and...

A bunch of new sculpts

So I'm working on a few video ideas at once and have a load of work in progress sculpts I want to share with you all. Look at them! But not for too long... I'm not sure what will happen if you do... Some of the sculpts have already been cast with plaster to create moulds and others are about to be and then on to the lovely liquid latex! And as for a little teaser, I can tell you that one of the videos involves cured meats... AND THAT'S ALL YOU'RE GETTING. For now.

Kevin's Bunker Ep2

Hi there! Soooo if I'm honest this is more of a kind of half sequel to the original Kevin's Bunker... it's more of an announcement video for my new merch store! I've finally got a merch store together and it's live today! It was a real joy to revisit the Kevins and make another Kevin's Bunker video and in doing so I came up with some ideas for actual full episodes. So watch this space for episodes 3 and 4! Anyway I hope you enjoy the video for what it is. I'm some of the way through another v...

Which exclusive Patreon content is bae?

Hi everyone, so the Materials list AMA is coming soon and I'm currently working on a new lore video and the Hermster Invasion sketch but I really just wanted to check in and see what kind of content excites you all the most? What would you like to see to help you get the most out of this patreon? I've made the poll multiple choice so you can hopefully choose more than one. But there's only so much I can create so I want to prioritise the stuff you want! I just like to revisit rewards every s...

This week I've been filming!

Hi there! Update time! So over the last week I've been filming the next Patreon exclusive comedy sketch for the month which you can find here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/104741295?pr=true Called DeerFace Returns! Had a lot of fun filming this and revisiting these characters. I also recently uploaded a 'making of ' video for How To Bake A Possessed Cake. It was a nice chan...

Making Of: How To Bake A Possessed Cake

Hi there! Here's the making of the Possessed cake video for you all to feast your eyes upon! There were a lot of props and new filming processes for this one that I thought you might find interesting. I'm planning on starting the making of videos again moving forward and I actually found I have the process footage for Trying Candy Part 3 and the Alien Video games console on a hard drive hidden away so expect those too over the coming weeks/months... I have to come clean and say that I've actu...

Next Patreon exclusive video poll

Hi, so the Patreon exclusive Return of Deerface sketch will be out next week so I just wanted to get ahead and start the poll going for the next video after that! Which of these would you like me to make next?

How To Bake A Possessed Cake

So after 8 months of work here it is! So proud of how this one turned out! Think I built 12 different props for it, including a large bipedal teat demon, a homage to The Thing and a miniature set (which was a first for me)! And you guys get to see it ahead of the release on my channel at the weekend! Hopefully YouTube won't sensor this one, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did... So there will likely be a few tweaks for the final upload, need to adjust some audio levels and colour grading ...

I've been filming!

Hi there! So last week, after like 8 months of prop building, I finally started filming this damn baking video! I've currently got about 5 hours of footage that I need to cut down into a roughly 8 minute video... at least I'll have plenty of takes... But I'm chuffed with how everything is looking and can't wait to share it! But here are some images I took whilst filming so you can get a little taste of things to come! Cheers, Will

Weekly update time!

Look who I found hiding in my foliage! So following a return of Deerface winning the vote for the next Patreon exclusive comedy sketch, I went and stumbled upon this fellow hiding in my garden. What a happy coincidence. Looks like the latex in his antlers has rotten away a bit and will need a bit of a touch up, but otherwise he's aged quite well considering he's nearly... checks notes 5 YEARS OLD!?! Damn. So the 'Return of Deerface' will be on my Patreon page in the not too distant f...
