Christmas Thieves: Director's Cut

It finally happened. Sam and I worked really hard on this video, only to have to spend Christmas Eve AND Christmas Day neutering it to skirt by content ID. We thought about uploading the original version, but decided we'd give it a little extra time and polish to make it the best version of this video. We figured, hey, since it's going on Patreo...

Hybrid Animation proof of concept/demo video

Our newest video was a lot more complicated than we initially thought it was gonna be, so at the beginning of August, we threw this together as an unpolished demo video to test with friends and family to see if the idea had legs.

Most of the animation is roughly blocked out, and none of it is composited with the paper effects. This animat...

New video is deep into production, I promise. Have some behind-the-scenes to tide you over in the meantime.

Making a 3D character look 2D is a very interesting task. Blender's Grease Pencil tools will automatically generate outlines around the character model, but I still have to manually move the face around to get it to look correct from weird angles. Top view is an (unfinished) look at our opening scene, and the bottom view has a camera attached di...

Behind-the-scenes: Shred Force YT Short

The tricky thing with YouTube shorts is finding the right balance of effort and quality. I'm not really interested in uploading something that I'm not proud of, and I definitely don't want to push out a video just because it's been a while, so shorts work as a nice middle ground between main channel uploads.

But that's a big double edged s...

First behind-the-scenes video, available to everybody!

The Satisfactory video popped off in an unexpected way, and we've had a lot of newcomers subscribing and joining the Patreon, which naturally meant a lot of questions about how the character was animated.

This is our first of, hopefully many behind-the-scenes videos, so if you're not a patron already and you were considering joining, or i...

We're (finally) making some changes around here.

As the channel approaches 50,000 subscribers, it's high time we actually use this Patreon for something.

There are 3 tiers to check out now. Most (or all) of you are in the newly renamed Tip Jar tier at $2, which as before, is just a way of saying thanks. The fact that so many of you signed up and stuck around without getting anything out...

Welcome.

For the time being, the plan for this Patreon page is to mostly serve as a tip jar. As thanks, you (should automatically) receive access to a private channel for Patrons in my public Discord server, which I'm generally pretty active in. If you don't get access to the channel upon joining, shoot me a DM, I'll let you in manually.

As the cha...

Hey. Thanks for calling my bluff.

You're probably here because you watched the "Open world traversal SUCKS (except when it doesn't)" video, and you heard some idiot baby clapping his hands in the background, and you wanted to see if the thing he was talking about was real.

WELL GUESS WHAT LOSERS, IT IS REAL

Think of this Patreon page as more of a tip jar. I plan to h...
