Hey everyone. Update time
Added 2020-04-18 20:46:48 +0000 UTCHe boys and girls of the Patreonsphere.
I'm still here. Very much. Nothing has slowed down at this end since the world stopped moving, in fact it has accelerated if anything. I noticed the numbers dropped a little and that is very much expected but I'm glad a large chunk of you are still around. Here are some updates.
OK First of all I just connected Patreon to my new Discord server and it looks like it just added you all automatically. It didn't say it would do this and I didn't expect it but the Discord just got a few hundred welcome messages which was rather surreal. You have no obligation to be on the Discord so leave if you wish but otherwise welcome and glad to have you. Your tier determines your Discord role, which is largely superficial but still kind of cool. It goes from Diamond to Bronze.
Secondly and connected to the discord, I have started streaming on Twitch. I have been streaming Photoshop and After Effects with some silky tunes and mild interaction. Also some more casual streams as well where I play the odd retro game and talk nonsense. There are also plans with Christian to attempt a LIVE WallerFM stream some time in the near future and I definitely intend to stream some Ableton music making when I get around to configuring it all.
Stuff I am currently working on:
SOCK SIX - This is moving along at a very nice pace and I can probably say it's about 60% complete. This is my main focus right now and I have been streaming the making of it in small chunks on my Twitch . Mildly spoilery because you are seeing me making it but I am not streaming anything with dialogue and everything is quite out of context. Still, if you want to completely avoid spoilers you might want to avoid watching me make it. 60% done.
BURNT FACE MAN 10 - I started it then moved on to Sock 6 simply because I want Sock 6 to come out before it. The order of what I do is somehow important to me. BFM definitely takes a lot less time to do so it shouldn't be a long wait after Sock Six. About 30% complete
WALLER FM #10 - This is done! Again, like I said, order is important so this sits on my hard drive for a while. 100% done and dusted.
NOT STANLEY 0 - Yes the original recordings of Not Stanley have been opened. The archives have been accessed and there is enough audio for a full episode. Much of the audio actually precedes the existing episodes (though continuity is not exactly the main focus of the Not Stanley world) About 25% done.
Anyway I hope you're all staying sane out there in lockdown world. This madness will all be over soon and we can get back to normal.
Summary:
Discord: http://discord.gg/S8q5aA8
Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/davidfirth
Sock Six, WallerFM 10, Burnt Face Man 10, Not Stanley 0 - are ALL in production and all definitely coming out. Maybe in that order.

2022-04-17 17:47:14 +0000 UTCWell to be fair I haven't seen a whole lot more than that either, but there is a large degree of exposure through cultural osmosis. At least, from what I've noticed.

2020-09-19 18:21:59 +0000 UTCMr. Firth, you are very certainly within the pantheon of creative inspirations in my life. For example, in my senior high school visual arts class, I did a whole project on your works as a famous artist. Thank you for the inspiration, truly.

2020-08-28 01:35:35 +0000 UTCAlready anxious to see all of these. thank you for your hard work an effort you put into these films and lets not even talk about the creativity you put into each film. Simply amazing.

2020-05-22 06:04:52 +0000 UTCHoly crap the thought of a new Sock and Not Stanley are incredibly exciting, as they're my two favorite series you've ever done— those and Spoilsbury Toast Boy. Can't wait for them to come out!
2020-05-08 02:49:51 +0000 UTCHi David. Glad to be a supporter. Your channel is some great shit dude. You're an incredible animator and you seem like a crazy, awesome, nice dude.

2020-04-21 15:03:25 +0000 UTCI have seen less than 3 superhero movies in the past decade. And 2 of them were Batmans. Not sure I'd have a whole lot to comment on.
David Firth
2020-04-19 20:22:12 +0000 UTCYes, eventually but when I am better at streaming. I think I'm improving but the first few were a messy and unfocused. I like the idea that not everything said in the moment is saved forever. Maybe I could somehow make them accessible for Patreons only. I don't want to get cancelled for some unserious offhand comment I make without thinking. Because I'm not good at filtering myself

2020-04-19 20:21:26 +0000 UTCI think in this world of Superhero Everything, BFM will have found a whole new relevance. Maybe he isn't even the world's shittiest superhero anymore

2020-04-19 13:20:03 +0000 UTCOn Twitch, Can you enable the option to save your past streams? I will surely miss many. Glad to see you on Twitch and hope you are doing well!

2020-04-18 22:59:35 +0000 UTCTremendously excited for the comic stylings of Burnt Face Man and Not Stanley. I wonder if Burnt Face Man will be taking some jabs at the comic book takeover of Hollywood that exploded in his absence.

2020-04-18 21:24:01 +0000 UTCThanks for the update David. The media's handling of the situation reminds me of 'The News hasn't happened yet' which I think are some of your finest creations. Look forward to more.
2020-04-18 20:58:27 +0000 UTCThe Gay Adventures of Burnt Face Man!

2020-04-18 20:56:19 +0000 UTCGlad to hear from you David. I figure the lockdown nonsense wouldn't really effect you too much. Looking forward to whatever you come up with.
