2024-08-21 20:33:39 +0000 UTCAlex are you going to continue the series when Vol 6 comes to an end?? I always went by the volume post that wasade after Vol 2. Volume 4 ended with the removal of the Mandela Prophets eyes, with Gabriel (who needs his TTS voice back) confronting Davis and feeling on top of the world when it happened. Felt like the climax of the series, and was hoping that volume 5 would be a slow burn into Volume 6. If you plan on ended the series, is the series finale going to be on the form of a feature length film?

2024-08-12 18:47:52 +0000 UTChello alex, I did not think of anything to ask, just that I admire your projects, you really are someone very talented, when I saw the first 3 volumes and the rest of the videos that complemented the story I was fascinated, I love everything about your universe and it quickly became my favorite fiction story by far, I love to make fanarts and talk to people in the community, you are someone admirable and I will be waiting for everything you have to offer, thank you very much (this message is written with translator in case there is something that is not understood lol)

2024-08-02 07:38:17 +0000 UTC(oh actually, i just remembered sorry) How's your stance of fanart, and do you mind being tagged in it (e.g. on twitter (if its. normal fanart of course)) or would you rather not be involved with that haha
Pearl
2024-08-01 23:55:48 +0000 UTC1) You decided to do a remake of Vol. 1 and you have improved it greatly. Do you plan to remake more of your older works, such as Volume 2 or Overthrone? 2) After Vol. 5 do you plan to continue work straight away on The next installments of The Mandela Catalogue? Are there other projects in the works? 3) How did you conceive the surrealist unnerving atmosphere of The Mandela Catalogue's live action sequences? 4) For your recent work (333, 4, 5, etc...) have there been scenes that you had originally planned for but eventually decided not to include? If so, have you chosen to scrap them or do you plan to reuse the concepts of these scenes in the future? 5) Did the scene where Michael Vale is chased by "N" require many rehearsals? 6) What does live action achieve for your films in comparison to analog? 7) In most of your scenes including Alternates you have used a mixture of 3D animation and still-images. In Vol. 5 you have decided to use practical effects and costumes, what inspired you to achieve this? 8) What type of music did you use for the ambience and the chase scene at the end of Vol. 5? 9) How do you see the characters of "N" and Jude Murray? 10) You seem to be expanding upon private problems that characters experience more so than you have in your older Volumes and videos. Is this a deliberate effort on your part? 11) When watching Vol. 5 (or any of your videos), what message or feeling do you hope the audience experiences? 12) The series plays on many religious themes, did you have a religious upbringing? 13) Do you have a preference for creating videos on your computer or filming in real locations?

2024-07-31 19:51:29 +0000 UTCAh, also, obligatory question about the discord server... You probably got this a lot already but I'm new to the party, will there be one? I'd die (metaphorically) to finally have a TMC discord to be part of
Pearl
2024-07-28 19:52:23 +0000 UTCthis is a bit on the dumber side but do you have a specific height for gabriel (and the other alternates/intruder) in mind? I see many interpretations, most artists (myself included admittedly) usually like to portray gabriel as much taller than the average human, so i was wondering if we could get a canon confirmation :P
Pearl

Jesse TRAP
2024-07-22 22:01:28 +0000 UTCAre you going to be uploading a new OST video containing the brief clips of music from Vol. 5? I really enjoyed the eerie atmosphere they created!
Cyetfol
2024-07-21 16:52:04 +0000 UTCI know this is a bit meta, but the house in Vol. 2 looks exactly like Cesar's. Is it his house, or is it someone else's house with the same location? Please let me know if you can help me with this, as it is a part of the discussion involved.
065 zerorokugo
2024-07-21 07:52:12 +0000 UTCMy question is, are Cesar's alternate, vol. 333 alternate, and N the same alternate? Ive seen many people say that.

Miles
2024-07-20 02:38:44 +0000 UTCApologies if this has been answered in the past— do you a have a Letterboxd? (Totally understand if you do and would rather not share!)
Elin
2024-07-19 19:03:33 +0000 UTCStop me if you’ve heard this before— your videos remind me a TON of Jane Schoenbrun’s work (We’re All Going to the World’s Fair, I Saw the TV Glow), and I mean this as a massive compliment. The experience of watching World’s Fair for the first time felt remarkably similar to my first time seeing TMC in a way that’s hard to explain while being concise but was extremely cool. Have you seen any of their movies, and if so, what’d you think?
Elin
2024-07-19 18:38:44 +0000 UTCSo TMC is set mostly in the fictional Mandela County, Wyoming, plus surrounding precincts. Did you set it in Wyoming because you’re a Wyoming native (…I think), or is there anything else about TMC that made you tie it to Wyoming specifically?
Elin
2024-07-19 18:21:35 +0000 UTCI heard in an interview that Overthrone was partially inspired by a poem you wrote in high(?) school. Are there elements of TMC’s story that have been in your head for a long time (since before you decided to make a it series), or did it only come together after you made Overthrone?
Elin
2024-07-19 18:07:06 +0000 UTCHiya Alex! I’m getting ready to start taking film production classes for school and I’m curious— have you been learning how to do all your production (storyboarding, screenwriting(?), camera work, etc.) on your own, or do you have any experience with it from college, high school, independent classes, the like?
Elin
2024-07-19 17:54:27 +0000 UTCTy
Carlos Angel
2024-07-19 15:24:30 +0000 UTCAnother question!! (Sorry if I’m asking too much) Did you intentionally make N look similar to Adam? Or was it simply just a coincidence?
Jasmine
2024-07-19 04:16:40 +0000 UTCThis isn’t really Mandela related stuff, but I noticed ur birthday is coming up and stuff, and I’m just curious if ur gonna do anything for it? Since I think I remember u mentioning u went to Chuck E. Cheese last year n stuff! (U can skip this if u want and Happy early birthday!!!! I hope whatever wishes u have become true!!)
Jasmine
2024-07-19 04:08:21 +0000 UTCI also wanted to know if you have a favorite scene in particular or anything from vol 5, also amazing job on volume 5 it’s so cool!!!!
Jasmine
2024-07-19 04:03:04 +0000 UTCI just wanted to ask how have you been lately ever since volume 5 has came out? I hope ur doing good and stuff!!!! love u sigma ur so cool!!

datamosher

vonfoolery
2024-07-18 23:36:47 +0000 UTCSorry if the question is dumb, I may have not looked to deep into TMC. Anyways, have the biblical clips actually happened in TMC universe or should they be taken more figuratively? Like, did biblical Adam staring at Eve actually happen?

2024-07-18 17:55:47 +0000 UTCI remember brief mention of expansion on Cesar and Mark's relationship. Is this still true?
Alex H.
2024-07-18 17:53:13 +0000 UTCAnother question Incase you don’t see the other one , in wendigoons vol 5 reaction you mentioned a clock and how it connects a lot to the Mandela catalogue world, now my question is can you give us some hints to what the clock means? and maybe the time aswell?
Kareem t
2024-07-18 17:02:50 +0000 UTCSince 6 refers to the intruder, will volume 6 be mostly about the intruder?

turquoisewaters

dismal
2024-07-17 19:34:24 +0000 UTCWhat inspired you to incorporate various art forms and animation into TMC? Was the process notably different or more challenging for vol 5 compared to your initial expectations?
Ruru
2024-07-17 18:57:51 +0000 UTCHow’ve ya been? also, quick question! How do you feel that you have an series now and it came out good as you wanted? Do you feel happy about it? That it came out how you truly wanted or were you not expecting it to come out this way??

TungstenPlays

Fallen Sword games
2024-07-17 07:00:12 +0000 UTCI have a couple questions :P 1. You’ve said in the past that the goal was to go up to Vol. 6, and end it (or something along those lines), but now it seems like you’re going to go beyond that. What made you change your mind and how has this affected the way you want to tell the story of the Mandela Catalogue? 2. If it is true that Ty is no longer voicing Adam, will he be recast? 3. (Silly question) Will the captions for Vol. 4 be finished or is it intetional that it ends 12 minutes in lol? 4. How are you doing? Hope everything is going well.
ThunderLee007
2024-07-17 01:30:41 +0000 UTCHow are you developing the lore from vol.6 onwards? (TMC). (if you remember I'm the guy who wrote to talk to you)
