Yesterday we filmed the final set for "The Wave-Soaked Maiden," the music video I'm releasing on Wednesday to launch my album! Since this song is a sea shanty, I wanted to make sure we had a good, warm-toned, rowdy tavern scene to carry the energy of the video.
I can't believe how gorgeous this footage turned out, thanks mostly to our genius cinematographer 2021-08-23 15:35:49 +0000 UTC View Post
We just got home from our second of three filming days for "The Wave-Soaked Maiden" music video! This one was mostly narrative-driven, basically just a cinematic version of the story that we're telling in the song.
Josh gamely took on the leading role in this part, playing the foolhardy sailor who fails to keep his promise to the mermaid. (And oh my god, he's so handsome, what the fuck!!!...

Just edited up some stills from our music video filming last weekend! These are all shot by Josh and edited by me. I absolutely love how this set came out — this is the thing that's gonna push me to buy a fog machine, haha! It just added so much depth and mystery to what could've otherwise been a very flat image.
We'll be filming the rest of the music video this weekend, and then finger...

In tomorrow's video, I talk about the concept of "player jobs" and how players can take on some of the responsibilities that traditionally fall to DMs in order to make gameplay smoother, and perhaps stay more engaged in the game! Check it out on YouTube.

Phew, not thrilled about having another "up past midnight on Tuesday finishing tomorrow's video" night, but I guess that's what I get for having such an ambitious concept for this one!

Sorry, I know this is slim pickings — rest assured, though, that July and August are going to contain a wealth of mermaid wallpapers!! More than you could probably ever use, haha.

Last spring, a YouTuber called Graphite asked me if I'd be willing to record some of Jester's lines from the infamous cupcake scene (C2 E93) for their Poor Unfortunate Souls parody!

In this week's video, I talk about the "adversarial DMs" discourse, and why I think most people don't actually fall on either side of it. (Also, it contains... arguably my most intensive ad spot in many months, haha!) Check it out on YouTube. This goes up Wednesday!

This was the rock that we dubbed the "Ariel rock," although unfortunately it wasn't positioned in such a way that water would splash up against it like in The Little Mermaid. Still, we managed to capture some shots here right at golden hour, when the sun was looking especially magical!
