Daily Update: THIS ONE MATTERS
Hey guys!
I know a lot of these are just kinda idle blathering about what we're doing and how I'm feeling or whatever, but this one's actually got a bit of information that should matter to you financially.

2017-12-06 17:50:05 +0000 UTC View PostDaily Update: So close!
During the last few days of production I kinda don't have much to contribute to the current video. When the audio is out of my hands I take on a secondary roll. Most of the time that entails helping T-bot with research for the list. This time I am sp...

2017-12-05 17:44:11 +0000 UTC View PostDaily Update: The Home Stretch?
Now I'm in a groove. This is the part of the video where pretty much all the hard stuff is out of the way and I'm just moving assets around on the timeline and cutting Talebot's way-too-enthusiastic expostulation about H.P. Lovecraft down to...

Daily Update: Brain Trolls
Have any of you guys ever dealt with anxiety? Not just apprehension or doubt, but full-blown paralyzing fear of every day stuff? Because I get hit with it about once or twice a month. Pretty bad cases, too. Medical anxiety. Mortal terror. Fe...

Ok so I finally finished up the audio minus 1 tiny thing. But I can't do it until the morning. Sooooo....... for all intents and purposes that is another hurdle jumped?

Something you might not as yet know 'bout us humans what works the foundry is that we don't have any place to roost. Not while we're working, at least. That is to say, no office. Home (which we do have, each of us) turns out to be a terrible place f...

Phew. So this is fun.

Daily Update: Audio
Due to some hectic scheduling, I am just now about to begin the editing process for the audio. We are trying to get as much as we can done before Thanksgiving so I have given myself a very, VERY lofty goal.
I hope to have the audio for the episode ...

Heyo!
So Chloe officially has the audio for the H.P. Lovecraft episode and is gonna be editing it over the next few days, because TB goes on hella tangents and deviations and there's just... a ton to cut.
Meanwhile, I get...

So not great news.
Although Talebot recorded the script without any technical flaws, the recording was off. He was very distracted, which though not unusual during his daily life is not an ideal mindset to be in when recording audio. Unfortunately ...

"Shademaker" — Original Short Story — Sci-fi Month
Is it better to dream blissfully forever, or to live out your days in the genuine squalor of reality? A complicated question, but never fear: the Sunshine Kids will protect you from making a choice.

Update: Further Tech Troubles! Hooray!
And this time it's not even TB's fault. My computer's been outta commission for the last five days, because (like a dunce) I originally bought a computer with great specs but terrible storage. I was having to transfer all the TF assets off the comput...

We love TB and he's a great host, but (ironically) he's also not the best with tech. Chloe received his recording of the short story's audio, but apparently he used the wrong microphone (built-in mic instead of the fancy one we usually use), so the a...

Vote: Approaching Lovecraft's Mythos
