Video Update

Surprise!

Production Update

Testing some new, pro makeup to replace the low-tech, cream-based approach I've been taking all these years. Also, going to film the next video tomorrow before fireworks start. More details to follow!

TUTORIAL: Screencap Treatments

My first tutorial is finally here! Thank you for your patience.

This one is more of a cautious experiment to gauge where we all are, as far as skills and interests. Please feel free to give feedback...

New Episode Early Access Pass

So I ended up get all artsy with this one. It's an exposé of last month's Charlie Charlie Challenge craze in the form of... a nursery rhyme. Hope you enjoy!

(And if anyone can come up wi...

POST COMPLETED

I have risen from the ashes and somehow completed this monstrous episode, finally. With only one day in the month to spare! For all you "secret updates" followers, here's a little collage of the most ...

Editing

Currently cutting together the episode. Not worrying about VFX or sound yet, just the pacing. Since it's all based on the reading of a poem, I'm splicing together the best takes of my performance, sta...

Crew Shenanigans

Lauren and Emily take a moment to test out the new teleprompter. Giggling ensues.

The Gloves Come Off

Preparing for a take about half way through the shoot. Not too amused because we had to re-shoot a couple of things after realizing the mic receiver stopped working. But we got it done!

Rotoscoping

Scientists should study the psychological effects of rotoscoping. It's the closest thing there is to actual time travel. I barely sat down to work on this shot, which will figure into the ending of th...

Shoot Day

Filming the new episode today! It involves the usual red corner talking stuff as well as 2 quick shots in other locations. Also, trying out a teleprompter for the first time. Why? Because the entire e...

A Skeptic's Skeptic

Someone on Google+ shared an opinion that my latest video is actually itself a hoax to troll my audience. Their theory is: bothered by the comments affecting whatever female friend/family member was *...

New Episode Early Access Pass

All your responses to my last post were very kind. But now I must warn you: what you are about to see, you won't be able to unsee.

Breaking the Fourth Wall...

I set out to make what I thought would be a cute little tongue-in-cheek bonus video before the next episode, possibly just for Patrons, but the more I worked on it, the more I realized that I would li...

Music Track - "Mouse Men"

For those who inquired: the melancholy music at the end of the Disneyland Ghost episode is an original track with which I tried to imitate the score of 'Mad Men'. Please enjoy and thank you for your ...

M&E Track for Disneyland Ghost DEBUNK

Are you interested in the art of sound design and mixing? Of course not. But regardless, here's a little technical treat for all patrons - a version of the new episode with the dialogue and voiceover ...

New Episode Early Access Pass

This has been one of the most difficult videos to complete! It's slightly longer and more elaborate than usual, even though I set out to make something simple. That seems to be a pattern... Let me kno...

Eeesh! Bringing it just under the wire this month! Our countdown is quickly approaching next Wednesday and I'm currently working on the "breakdown" animations, the actual explanatory graphics at the h...

Yeah, yeah...

I see some of you surreptitiously editing your pledge amount down :) and I understand. A couple of the rewards (such as tutorials) have yet to appear. But worry not. They are coming! This month is pro...

Production Artwork - P-Frame

This guy came out better than the I-Frame. I didn't even sketch it, just used the I-Frame character as a reference. Something about drawing antagonists is just more fun. These characters were animated...

Production Artwork - I-Frame

From Reptilian Bieber-mosh. I wanted to create random blob characters to represent the frame types. But it kinda looks like a frog, doesn't it? Everything looks like something! (click link to download...

Production Artwork - Beautiful Stranger

The other side of the animated scene from Russian Ghost Car Debunk. The pole that covered her face in the video wasn't a drawing, just a wood texture wrapped into a 3D cylinder in After Effects. (clic...

Production Artwork - CD Freaked Out

From Russian Ghost Car Debunk. Not sure what I was trying to channel, but I had a very clear idea of what expression I wanted to have on my face. (click link to download the full-res file)

New Episode Early Access Pass

Hello! It's been a long weekend of sitting at a computer. But I really wanted to get the video to you guys earlier than just one day ahead of publish date. So here it is! Next Wednesday's episode. Enj...

March So Far

What's up, everybody! The next episode is "in the can" (filmed), voiceover is recorded and editing is in progress. I'm gearing up to making the first tutorial for those of you signed up for that. Shou...
