BTS Packs: Molly the Mall Rat and Nature's Majesty
2 behind the scenes packs to get us caught up! Rough renders, original scripts and edited outtake reels for the last two Pretzels shorts. I've also started including the full HD render of each video in any event someone wants that. Retroactively added the FNAF Ruin render to it's pack as well!
NEW SHORT: Nature's Majesty - Pretzel's Pretzels
Molly's second short and also 4th week in a row with a video! I don't think we've ever done that before on the channel. Likewise, we now recluse to work on the next and finally have some weeks without. Probably for mid august, we'll wrap the next Pretzel's Pretzels, "Carv's Wife" and after that should be "How to be Cool" (very excited for that one, the animation is coming along beautifully)

EARLY VIDEO: 5 AM at Freddy's: RUINED Edition
A tad late but it's HERE. Public release tomorrow. The parody of the RUIN DLC for Security Breach, and probably the last FNAF parody until the series interests me again.What's the future for parodies? I'm back to eyeing the old Minecraft parody music video "Here in the Village." The song just needs finishing. If this FNAF video performs well, it'll be easy enough to put Crowne on the task for hopefully a December release. We'll see how that goes.Until then, we turn ou...

The Storyboard for "The Quick Pickpocket"
With a little polish and temp sound work, here's the unfinished Sheriff Hayseed episode which has had many titles by now.
NEW VIDEO: Blackjack - The Sheriff Hayseed style test
Here's the completed style test for what would have been the full length video. Even without finishing the full video, I'm still very proud of this style test.They're two of the most indepth character rigs I've built. Flexible yet simple and very clean. I love a good rig. It's a shame Toon Boom is getting dramatically worse all of a sudden, it's absolutely screwing with the Storyboard for the full length Hayseed I'm trying to get ready.But regardless, hope you like th...
UPDATE VIDEO: Wrist Pain and Trying to Adjust
Self explanatory. I'm sorry this happened everyone. There's some important Patreon context in the description I think is worth looking at. Outside of that, see you soon for some Sheriff Hayseed stuff
DAY EARLY DOUBLE FNAF FEATURE
Welcome to the return of 5 AM at Freddy's. Hope you like! This video was animated entirely by Crowne Prince and I'm curious to know how that difference feels and if they should handle more videos on their own. Let me know! It was a very different production given the wrist pain but I like the results.Oh and I said double feature right? Right, here's a full version of the credits song that I almost enjoyed working on more than the parody itself. I do love my music lately. Again hope y...
An Event Announcement! And FNaF things
Refer to video above. I'm co-hosting this year's 15MAT! Should be a lot of fun. Growing a mustache for it. Now for some FNaF things!Crowne's been continuing to kill it on the animation. Little to say otherwise so here's some shotsIt's a little over half animated so we're well on track a halloween release! (i think)The song parody I'm planning to release along side it is also fully written, and just needs finalization. I think it's fun and gives all the animatronic...
Production Blog: 5 AM at Freddy's: Superstar Edition (and others)
Hellooooo! I'm here with good updatesCrowne Prince has been hard at work on a new 5 AM at Freddy's while I continue focusing on my wrist pain, and I can easily say we're in good hands.Crowne has handled everything from Storyboard to these final shots and it's been nothing but smooth sailing. On the side we're also doing a short song parody to accompany the credits, which is done writing and just needs to be produced. We have a planned release date for October 20th.To give you...
Health & Project Check In
Hi all! I think I'm about due for an update now that I'm a full 3 months into my wrist pain recovery. I'll detail that and then go into how it's affected the projects. (tl;dr at bottom)HEALTH --Unfortunately the wrist pain is still here. Officially it is not carpal tunnel syndrome, but rather appears to be general damage from long-term repetitive use and poor posture. I've been seeing doctors, going to physical therapy twice a week, and soon I'm having my first medical pr...
Production Blog: Carpal Tunnel
Hi everyone. Here with a slightly unfortunate update today. While trying to make the new Sheriff Hayseed quickly I instead ended up massively worsening some pain that already existed in both my hands. Currently not officially diagnosed as carpal tunnel but it's very much looking that way.So far, I'm 3 weeks into rest with little recovery to show for it so it's possible I will be out of it for 2 to 3 months. A typical amount of time I've heard it takes to recover.HOWEVER, here'...
