So as I've shared a couple times, I would like to "remake" our older episodes with our new source footage and potentially re-release it on Youtube. But now I'm thinking... what if I streamed parts of that so you could see how I do it? Would that interest you guys?
Below is a poll of the times I could potentially do a once-or-twice-a-week s...

To finish the year, I wanted to share the beginning of a new project of mine: restoring some cut content from MSAGW episodes! We have a separate file for scenes we had to cut for pacing but still liked, just in case we want to reuse them later. The scenes that we couldn't possibly use later (like Trowa and Heero in Marseille), we're going to rem...

Hey everyone. It's been a bit, and I wanted to make a quick post letting you all know we're hard at work on new content. We had a rough second half of 2023, but we're back in gear and have a little Christmas video to share with you!
(I was originally going to make a preview yesterday but you know how the holidays get. Just way too much to ...
2023-12-24 00:31:46 +0000 UTC View PostI was hoping to have something ready today, but Friday kind of snuck up on me. Next week we'll resume Friday Updates with a new announcement. Stay tuned!

2023-08-04 20:38:46 +0000 UTC View PostAs you've no doubt noticed, I missed the last two Friday Update posts. This is because, being honest, getting Ep.10, 11, 12 & 13 out in the same calendar year has burned me out. I tried to move onto other projects after Ep.13 was done, but I just... couldn't. I've been spending my time this month relaxing while Blue has handled the channel.<...

2023-07-14 19:26:25 +0000 UTC View PostYou guys have asked for more behind the scenes stuff, so I thought this week I'd share a quick look at how we chose our Hilde.
What you see in this video is the audition sent by our new Hilde actor (who wishes to remain uncredited, sorry!). It's a dummy script we wrote for the sole purpose of hearing how our Hilde would play off of our Du...
Hey all! Did you like Ep.13? If you haven't watched it yet... what're you waiting for? Go, go, go!
I thought it would be fun to point out a few small details you may or may not have caught on first viewing; things you can tell your friends when watching it with them so you sound smart.

Just letting you know that the Watch2gether link is up and you can join anytime. The episode will premiere at 5PM PST, just under two hours from now. Hope you can join us!
See you there.

I ALMOST FORGOT OUR FRIDAY UPDATE. But it's 10pm here so technically I still made it.
The update for this week was just the release date, something we shared today on the Happy Go! stream. Wed., June 28th, likely at about 5PM PST, though we'll decide on that closer to the day-of. Both Blue and I work that day and when we premiere it will d...

As is tradition, since the next episode of MSAGW is almost ready, here are some final screenshots from the episode bereft of any context. Enjoy.
This'll be the last update on Ep.13 before it's released. After release, I'll dig into a few details I've been avoiding so you're not spoiled on gags. I hope you really like this...

Hey all. I'm happy to announce a new, smaller-scale series of videos we'll be posting to Youtube starting this month: One Shade of Grey.
It will diverge from our usual scripted comedy and Blue's gaming-centric streaming, and instead be isolated videos on topics that I want to dive into. If MSAGW is all of OPMeat, and...

If you've ever watched Wing (and I know I have!) you've probably noticed how much the show likes to pan across long shots to give a feeling of motion where there really is none. It's a technique meant to make things visually stimulating without actually having to animate multiple frames. Wing uses it a lot.
The problem this presents for wh...
2023-06-09 18:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey all. Here's a 1m45s preview of MSAGW Ep.13, fully finished. Enjoy.

For this week's update, I thought I'd show you how I removed a pesky Romefeller dude who had nothing to do with this scene in Ep.13.
In the original show, Treize comes in to answer to multiple Romefeller higher ups, and Dermail has a whole group at the side of the room in the opening shot. However, they serve no purpose for our scene and w...

This is another example of me making things harder on myself because of the script not matching the visuals. Whoops.
In the original show, this shot of Heero sitting across from Wufei is introduced by a pan from right to left, with Wufei holding up his handcuffs and lowering them as Heero comes into view. It's all in motion, with dramatic ...
2023-05-19 18:31:21 +0000 UTC View PostI mentioned a couple weeks ago that we'd be starting a new series called "One Shade of Grey." While I haven't recorded my first script for it yet, I was able to reach out to a friend of a friend to commission the outro/intro song I'll use for every video,. Though this isn't the final mix, I was so happy with it that I wanted to share it with you...

This is just a quick edit I wanted to show for Ep.13, since you haven't gotten to see much of the episode so far. (It's mostly still in the audio/video placement phase with cool edits to show coming much later.)
For this part of the script, we had Treize walking into the room, which shouldn't be a problem. Except... he doesn't wal...

This week, I thought it might be fun sharing some edits I made that didn't make it into the show, since I never really show these. (Well the last image doesn't count, but whatever.)

I usually don't share video content this early since it could very easily change, but we're still early on in the process of making ep.13 and I wanted to show you guys some progress. So here you go!

Since our Friday updates have been almost entirely about MSAGW (and ep.13 is still very early on so I don't have a lot to show yet) I thought this week we would instead show you a brief snippet of Blue's next episode of Happy Go! w/ Luckyblue.
If you haven't watched the first episode we released in March, here's a brief taste of what this ...
2023-04-14 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostSo we managed to meet all our goals for January-March, which is good! Blue wanted to finalize his format for Happy Go! and release his first video, then start streaming. I wanted to release Ep.11 in time to get Ep.12 out on April Fools. We accomplished both, and now with some momentum, we're setting new goals and I wanted to share them with you ...

Hey all! Just wanted to let you know the second episode of Happy Go! is coming Friday, April 14th! Tried to pick something quite different from Resident Evil to test the format with something more action-y. It's taken me a lot longer than I thought it would because Resident Evil was so linear that it was way easier to cut and structure. I think ...

On that same note, Ep.13 is also abo...
