He Sees Right Through Me

IT'S DONE! This is probably the quickest I've ever done a video edit this intensive — with all the compositing and color correction and cloning, it was a lot!! There are still pieces I'm not 100% happy with, but without doing reshoots, it's just about as good as I can make it... and Valentine's Day waits for no man!

This comes out Wednesday, and the song will be released on streami...

February's Patreon Theme

If you haven't already guessed it... this month's music video is my new original, D&D-inspired 50's song "He Sees Right Through Me," which means that the rewards for this month will be all themed around the Gelatinous Cutie!

If you want Gelatinous Cutie photo prints, feel free to upgrade to the Di-ety ($35) tier anytime during February (you can scale ...

Gelatinous Cutie Gallery #2!

Here are a few stills from the "He Sees Right Through Me" shoot! I snapped these as I filmed the music video footage. Any thoughts on which one(s) would make good prints for this month? 👀

Dungeon before & after

I'm working on the edit for "He Sees Right Through Me," my new 50's-style D&D song (coming Wednesday!), and I thought I'd share this quick before-and-after of the set and the effects!

Just to be clear, the greenscreen isn't actually necessary for this shot — it's easy to replace anything that the performer (in this case, me) doesn't move in front of, regardless of what the extra spa...

Gelatinous... well.

I'm about 80% of the way through shooting my Gelatinous Cutie music video! Here's a quick still from today that is less-than-cute 😅 (and a cuter one, to make up for it!)

This is gonna be a really fast turnaround, so you can expect a full gallery and all that over the next few days!! I'm really liking how this is looking so far (and the magnetic torches worked PERFECTLY, so you can expe...

Behind-the-scenes on ideation

Hey friends! Just wanted to share some kind of ridiculous visuals I put together for my Valentine's Day music video (which is RUSHING up on us!! ahh!!)

This is an original 50's-style love song (similar in vibes to Melee Range!) from the perspective of my View Post

Nymwen the Scholar

Here's elf #2 — Nymwen the scholar! Apparently all my NPC videos have a dark-haired weird/spooky character... first Tilly, and now Nymwen. I got to make a spell scroll (and a cravat!) for this one, and I think it came out pretty cool! I glued some drawer pulls on the ends of a dowel, haha.

Nymwen is showcasing the high elf vault from Wyrmwood's Valentine's Day promotion. Watch the whole...

How to make online D&D suck less

Thanks to everyone who weighed in on the difficult parts of playing D&D online in our Discord chat!! This was an interesting video to make, because some of the things I talk about here, my own group is still trying to figure out. If anything, I think it's just a good reminder that having a really strong table dynamic takes work and time — you really have to put some energy into it!

Morelia the Wood Witch

Here's the full gallery of Morelia, one of three elf NPCs I created for an upcoming sponsored Wyrmwood video! She's a wood witch who lives in the forest near a small town, and she's showcasing Wyrmwood's cherry "wood elf" dice vault — on sale through Valentine's Day (but don't buy it until my video c...

Morelia — Before & After

Editing some photos of my wood elf witch Morelia (for an upcoming NPC video!) and just wanted to share a quick before-and-after!

These days, I edit most of my photos in Lightroom. It isn't quite as powerful as Photoshop in terms of editing features, but it's designed to make it very easy to review and edit large numbers of photos. I usually work on one photo (like this one!) first, get it...

"Nott That Girl" mp3

Here it is: My latest Critical Role parody, "Nott That Girl"! This is a Nott the Brave-themed version of "I'm Not That Girl" from the Broadway musical Wicked, a musical Sam himself has already drawn parallels to by putting "The Wizard and I" on his Nott playlist!

Adventurer's Kitchen #2

I apologize that I couldn't give y'all early access to this one — Josh and I said goodbye to our cat Chaucer yesterday, and it completely turned our world upside down. Although I have to say, it was nice to be able to spend this morning watching us laughing and having fun together after we spent most of yesterday crying together.

Here's the newest episode of our geeky cooking show,...

Nott — full photoset

Here are all the Nott photos I got on the second day of shooting for my upcoming music video "Nott That Girl"! I'll be honest, I barely recognize myself in these. Paint and contacts can really transform a face, but I think it's the teeth that really throw me — they fundamentally change where my jaw sits, so my face appears longer and my chin sits further back. Super weird to look in the mirro...

Got to exercise those Sad Brows™ for this one! Here are some stills I shot on the day when I shot all the Veth footage for this month's music video: "Nott That Girl," a Wicked/Critical Role parody. 

I don't shoot on dark backdrops much, but I think I'm finally how to light for them properly! I've had shoots where everything comes out way too dark because the backdrop absorbs all th...

This week's video is a new Narrative Telephone lip-sync video! I know these are very silly, but they're just a lot of fun to do, and I haven't worn Jester in a while, so it seemed like it was about time.

To be totally honest, I think this one might be a bit less funny than the previous ones I lip-synced to, and I can't help but feel like it's because they're getting better at it? But I th...
