Dying Light vid animation breakdown

Here's what the video looked like during storyboarding, keyframes, inbetweens, and color, in that order. 

Occasional commentary offered by me throughout to explain what's happening on screen.

If you have any questions, let me know!

What do you want to know more about? - Dying Light Behind-The-Scenes

Finishing up a video that briefly tells the story of how the latest video came together, and I wanted to use Patreon as a place to go into more detail about the creative process in a way that I couldn't do on youtube.

What are some things that y'all want to know more about? Writing? Boarding? Animation? Color? Shading? Audio? Backgrounds? Editing? Business shit?

Let me know and I'll write up some stuff breaking it all down :)

Frogger Doodles!

Only threeeeeeeeeee months late. Last batch coming soon

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR $12 PATRONS

Since I've decided not to offer doodles moving forward, your tier has been deleted and replaced with a lower priced one ($7). This tier slaps your name on the end of the video instead. 

If you were part of the $12 doodle tier, you need to subscribe to the new tier to receive benefits! I can't guarantee everything will work perfectly on your end unless you make the switch.

NEW VIDEO - Update coming soon

Here's the vid;

https://youtu.be/xo9G7xJ1FCA

I was approached by Techland (devs of Dying Light 2) to promote their game, and seeing as how I like Dying Light 2 (and they were paying me a lot lol), I took them up on the offer! 

This took a little over a month to make and took a team of almost 20 people. I'll tell y'all all about what that was like soon, but for now I wanna address the lack of doodles at...

Update in regards to name credits

You know how every patron's screen name is included at the bottom of my video's description as a thank you? 

The thing is, there's a 5,000 character limit. There seem to be so many of you now that I can no longer fit everyone's name into YouTube's description box without running out of characters to use!

Thank you so much, everyone.

I'm going to need to figure out a way to include everyone without utilizing the description box. This will likely mean either scrolling nam...

Behind the scenes - Ratio Videos

Whenever I said that the ratio videos were hell to make, I meant it man. I wasn't exaggerating when I said that it was a 3 month process that started as a filler video. 

Most of that time was spent trying to make sure that I knew about most major examples of media with weird ratios, and trying to figure out what the point of any of it was. I knew that I felt strongly about creator...

Pitifully overdue update - what I'm up to

I feel like I say this every time I post on here, but it's been too long! Sorry. 

I've been very, very busy these past few months! Some of that work you've seen, some of it you haven't. Here's what I've been up to and haven't shown yet;

NEW VIDEO (and an apology)

ok first things first NEW VID CHECK IT OUT

https://youtu.be/eLDCS3ScSr4  

secondly, I did a particularly poor job managing time and got kicked in the ass by a deadline this time around. That meant I didn't have the time to offer you guys early access or in-video doodles. I'm really sorry about that.

If you'd like a refund as an apology for not sticking to what I've promised, all you need to do is DM me...

QnA (Experiment)

Thinkin' abt maybe ripping off Mandy(lore Gaming) and doing a QnA thing at the end of videos. Could be fun idk  :)

The more questions I get here, the more likely I am to answer some at the end of the ratio follow-up video, so throw questions at me now I am not asking now now

Need For Speed Behind the Scenes

hi  :)

This is just gonna be a sort of informal rant about some of the more interesting aspects of the NFS video. 

there's a lot of quirky stuff I tried with this one, but one of the most ambitious aspects was the 3D animation, which was mostly done by me friend Eli, with me directing the action. It turned out...

New video, and an apology

Good news first- new video! It's been in the works for almost 6 months, and I'm relieved to finally release it.

Unfortunately due to sponsor obligations, issues with adobe software (fuck adobe), and poor time management skills, I've been working on this video non-stop for the past few days. I'm obligated to upload today no matter what, and to do that I have to make a couple sacrifices, including the patreon early access, and the doodles at the end. 

I know you guys primarily ...

Quick Update

It's been a while since my last update all the way back is June (jesus...) and in that time I've experienced an absolute shitload of personal life shit I can't really get into that makes video production something of an uphill battle. That said, the worst is behind me, and I've been working on a BUNCH of shit in-between everything else.

I'm not ready to talk about any of it all that much, but among the scripts being developed is one about my dad playing every single Hal...
