Getting this retrospective series officially started after so much planning and build-up has me equally excited and anxious. Thank you all for your patience, I very much hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think!

TEASER: "The Animation of Final Fantasy"
The first episode still needs a lot of polish work before I'm ready to call it done, but the first two minutes are 99% there. And you folks have been very patient, so I thought you might enjoy a little teaser!
Once the full episode is ready (which shouldn't be long from now, at this rate), patrons at the $3 level or higher will get early access to it pretty much right away. I'm very exci...

I hope you're doing well! I'd like to share some details about the mega-project I'm currently busy with: The Animation of Final Fantasy.
(Apologies in advance for the length of this post, there's lots to cover!)

Oh hey, it's another video finally!
I hope you all enjoy this latest entry in the ongoing 12 Principles series. The episode will go live as soon as captions are ready (probably in a day or two).
Next up, the Final Fantasy animation retrospective begins at long last! I'm so EXCITED.

Hello! Here's an update on what I'm up to.
Sabbatical over!
My little hiatus is finally wrapped up, and the rest has been lovely. I am actually somewhat recharged and eager to make stuff again, which feels great after months and months of running on fumes. So thanks to all of you for your patience and understanding as I caught up on that rest! 2021-06-01 20:26:53 +0000 UTC View Post

2021-05-15 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post...ok fine, then New Frame Plus patrons won't be billed in JUNE
Apparently, me and Patreon's back-end creator interface did not see eye-to-eye on this whole "don't bill patrons in May" plan, because it looks like you were all charged for this month anyway. COOL. I'll just set it up to skip billing next month instead. Apologies for the confusion!
In better news, I'm already excited to dive back into production on new videos when this break is don...

I'm still on break and don't plan to charge patrons next month! Though I have begun chipping away at the script for the next New Frame Plus video (another 12 Principles entry), the time off has been good for me and I think another month would do me good. Plus I've got some other life responsibilities that need attention, and this seems like an ideal opportunity.

At long last, the Sonic video is released! I hope you've all enjoyed it. :D
Now that the monster is put to rest, I thought it might be a good time for a big update post!

IT IS DONE.
At long last, the Sonic video is complete and set for release on Thursday! Once again I want to thank you all for being so patient with me as I tackled this monstrous thing. I bit off WAY more than I could chew, but it was a fun challenge and I hope the result is worth the wait.
Enjoy!

The feature-length Sonic video is almost done if you want to see it!
NOTE: This is NOT the final version of this New Frame Plus episode, but it is 99% complete! I still have some audio mixing and timing tweaks to make, maybe a few subtle polish edits here and there. Heck, there might be a render error in this upload that I haven't spotted. Even the thumbnail is placeholder. Those final t...

Hey folks! It's been a while since I checked in and this one video has taken forever, so I thought I'd give an update on progress.
The Sonic Video
This thing is a monster, y'all. All footage is recorded, the script is final and much of the preparatory edit work is done. At this point, it's just down to narration recording and editing the video it...

Happy October! I thought I'd catch you all up on what I'm currently working on.
My next video is about the animation in Sonic the Hedgehog games, and it's looking to be the biggest I've made yet. I'll be looking at 25 different Sonic games - from the 16-bit original all the way up to Forces - and examining the wild variation in animation quality over that histo...
