Alternative Oboe voice

Often with a new character I'll try out multiple voices before finding the one that fits. Here is a recording I made of Oboe (from the latest Shadowstone episode) with a different voice. I decided not to go with this one because it didn't quite fit, and was too similar to Darius.

Shadowstone Park character art files

Here are the PSD art assets for four recent Shadowstone Park characters - Ava, Baggie, Noodles, and Oboe.

These documents are imported into After Effects, where they are "rigged" into a sort of puppet to be animated.

I did a live stream of my process in June, if you're interested in learning more:

Llamas with Hats 2 - Improv Session

When recording the early Llamas with Hats episode, I would always do a separate recording session with Chris where he would riff on the original script. Most of it would go unused, but occasionally we would get great new lines that way.

Here is the raw audio from the improv session with Chris from "Llamas with Hats 2."

Abandoned Sargnarg 3 audio

I had an idea for another Sargnarg the Hardge Harg episode, and recorded this back in March of 2021, when NFTs were first hitting the broader cultural consciousness.

I was still working on the Charlie the Unicorn finale at that point, and by the time I had room in my schedule to animate a new Sargnarg I felt the moment had passed.

He...

The Return of Shadowstone Park

Shadowstone Park was originally created for Frederator as a timed exclusive for VRV. They greenlit three episodes with the option to order more, but in the end those first three episodes were all they ever ordered.

We’ve wanted to continue the series beyond that, and now that we’re long out of contract we’re trying for a Patreon push...

Unfinished scene from the "Spatula Madness" movie

This is an unfinished scene from the Spatula Madness feature film I attempted to make in 2006. There are a couple missing shots, and many missing sound effects. Still, there's a lot to see! It's the scene in which a city of spatulas are attacked by a bunch of large wooden spoons.

Original "Charlie the Unicorn" dialogue session

This is the full audio of me recording the dialogue for "Charlie the Unicorn" on November 16th, 2005. This is unedited, and without any pitch shifting or effects.

There are a few unique things about this recording:

• Every character was recorded at the same time. I almost never record multiple characters in one session, as it is ...

Vulo models

For anyone interested in how art files are prepared for VTuber rigging, I've attached the PSDs for Vulo and their recent five guests (Sonic, Pikachu, Lucy, Elsa, Grimace.) I'm not an expert at this - nor even particularly good at it - but the files might help a beginner get their own project started, or offer some interest to those who are simpl...

Behind the scenes photos of the Relno set

Here are some behind the scenes photos of the incredible set that scuffy built for the "Relno the Storykeeper" segments in the new Vulo series. There is so much detail, so many books and objects! And everything - from the books, to the chair, to the chest - is hand made. It was, frankly, an astonishing amount of work and I think the final result...

Vulo Lives!

Vulo the Face Borrower is back with a brand new talk show for YouTube. Their first guest is the world's fastest blue hedgehog, "Sonic." I hope to bring Vulo back to live streaming soon as well - in the meantime please enjoy this new series.

Also, scuffy made an elaborate and beautiful set and marionette for this show's "spooky story" segme...

Deleted Charlie finale scene script

There were a few scenes in my original script for "Charlie the Unicorn: The Grand Finale" that didn't make it into the finished video. This scene, where the pink and blue unicorns bring Charlie to "The Chamber of Infinite Misgivings," was cut because it felt like a filler scene and I could never figure out how to make it interesting enough to le...

The complete “Charlie the Unicorn” grand finale will be premiering live on YouTube today at 3 p.m. Eastern Time (GMT-4, about three hours from now.)
