I finished Part 11, but I still need to finish the trailer and the thumbnail. The trailer is almost done, but I haven’t started the thumbnail yet. I was really hoping I’d be completely done with Part 11 by now, but the trailer took a lot longer to almost finish than I expected.  

Once the thumbnail and trailer are d...

50 Ways to Die in Minecraft Part - 11

Here's Part 11. This is the Dailymotion version, which I consider to be the definitive version.

TL;DR at the bottom. 

Last month, I said that I was close to finishing part 11 and that I would post it here on Patreon when it was done, which I expected to have been in early December. But then, 3 things happened that got in the way.

The first is that I realized that early December would be the perfect ti...

TL;DR at the bottom.

I'm almost finished with Part 11. If I worked enough hours per day, I could probably finish it in time to release it to the public in early December, but I have a better idea.  I've been wanting to make a Halloween-themed 50 Ways video ever since I made the Christmas video. Unfortunately, it usually isn'...

50 Ways to Die in Minecraft - Part 10

I was going to put this up sooner, but I noticed a whole bunch of little problems with the video and had to fix them for the Dailymotion release this morning. This will probably go public on YouTube next Saturday, provided YouTube doesn't restrict this one. I might change the thumbnail, too.

I managed to get a lot of clips edited before October 16th, but not quite enough to make two 50 Ways videos. I needed 120, but only had 107. Fortunately, I was able to fill in the gap with some of the leftovers from previous 50 ways videos, so I now have enough clips to make two more 50 Ways videos.

I spent September editing the clips I recorded in August and July. I only managed to finish 44 of them, which isn't enough to make a 50 Ways video, much less two of them. I've still got until October 16th to edit more before I need to start working on the main edit, but I doubt I'll have 120 edited clips by then.&nbs...

In August, I recorded a whole bunch of clips for the next two 50 ways videos. I didn't quite record enough of them to make two videos, but I got close. So for September, I'm going to start editing the clips. In winter, there will be two windows for releasing 50 Ways videos. One is in late November, and the other is in in early De...

I spent most of the first half of July just gathering and coming up with ideas for Part 10 and 11. My plan was to start production once I had at least 80 good enough ideas out of the 120 that I need, since I assumed I would probably come up with 40 more along the way. Around half way through July, I decided to take stock of how many id...

I don't have much to report for June. Moving into my new apartment took a lot longer than I thought it would. I expected it to take a few days, but instead it took most of the month. The only other things I accomplished were the full version of part 7 and the Fairy Tale style deleted scenes video, which also took lon...

Possible Final Version of 50WtDiM Fairy Tale Style

I'm posting a link to it here on Patreon so that my Patrons will have early access to the comment section. Assuming YouTube doesn't do anything stupid to it, this will be the video that goes live on Saturday.

It might also be this video, which is currently restricted because of the title, but might become unrestricted at some point: View Post

50 Ways to Die in Minecraft - Fairy Tale Edition

Here's my latest. I haven't made the thumbnail for it yet. It'll go live on Dailymotion on June 1st (hopefully) and on YouTube on June 8th. This might not be the final version that goes live on YouTube because there's a few small things I might change if I have time after making the trailer, which I haven't started yet.

Enjoy.

Now that my demonetization video is out of the way, I'm back to focusing on 50WtDiM Fairy Tale Edition. I've finished editing more than enough clips to make the final video now, so I'm going to start working on that. I've got two concerns about it. The first is that these clips have a lot more dialogue in them than I...

About 2 weeks ago, my entire channel was demonetized, but I managed to convince YouTube to remonetize it again.

I've recorded more than enough clips for the Fairy Tale Edition and so I'm going to spend this month editing them. I'm really surprised that I haven't finished the 100K subs video by now.

I'm thinking that the next 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft video will be Fairy Tale themed, so I'm working on that now.  I'd like to have two 50 Ways videos ready by summer, but I suspect the Fairy Tale one might take me longer than usual, since the Christmas one took about twice as long to make as a regular 50 Ways video. ...

Part 9 is going up on Saturday, so I'm going to spend this month working on Part 10 and 11, which I'm hoping to release in June 2019. I'm also still working on that 100K subs video, believe it or not. I hope I can finish that one soon because there's other kinds of videos I want to work on now.

Here's Part 9. It's going live on Dailymotion this Saturday, then live on YouTube the Saturday after that. I've already made sure this one made it past YouTube's restricted mode, so this should be the video that gets published unless something else goes wrong.

I posted this to YouTube a few days ago and it still hasn't been restricted, so I think I'm going to make this the official public YouTube release of 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft - Part 8 for Saturday. Since you guys are my Patrons, you can see it now, though its already publicly available on Dailymotion.

TL;DR I've got enough individual clips to make 2 more 50W2DiM vids for November and December, but I want to make a few more clips before I start working on Part 8 and 9. 125 out of 120 clips recorded and edited. I'm also still working on my 50 dollar Patron's reward animation, so I haven't continued work on the 100K subs vid yet. View Post

Part 7 is done. If you haven't seen it yet, it's on my Patreon page. The only work I still need to do on it now is to make a trailer for when I release it to the public in September. I don't have any ideas for the trailer yet, so I'm just going to work on parts 8 and 9 until I think of something. I'm aiming to have part 8...
