Patron update!
Just a quick update for March!
Upcoming Episodes
The next episode, ANTICIPATION - The Twelve Principles of Animation in Games, is still in the works. It's been weird working on this one; I've encountered my first-ever case of what I'm just going to call "editor's block". I spent an entire day editing it in Premiere last week and somehow ...

UPDATE: The video is now live and viewable by all!
The next episode is done! Once captions are ready, it'll go live. Thanks for choosing such a neat topic, and I hope y'all enjoy!
Like I mentioned in the patron update a few days back, this one turned out to be a beefy project, way bigger than I generally aim for patron-request episodes to go. I'm going to try to keep the next few sm...

It's nearly done! I still need to do some polish-y stuff, of course. I want to manually remove a bunch of the full-screen flashes for the sake of those with photosensitivity. I also want to try adding some more of the games' sound effects back into the mix to see how that feels. I'm entertaining the idea of putting game titles in the bottom corner for the sake of people who don't immediately re...

Upcoming Episodes
The next episode, The Animation of Phoenix Wright (or The Animation of Ace Attorney, I can't decide) is nearly complete! I should have a WIP render ready for $8 patrons in the next day or so. This one took a LOT longer than I expected, but I'm happy with how it's turning out and I hope y...

Hey, Patreon's tier access feature works again! Posting this again so you $5 patrons can still access it.
Sorry again for the episode's delayed arrival, but I hope y'all enjoy the it! And the next one will arrive much sooner!

FINALLY. Now, normally this post would be exclusively for patrons at $8 or higher, but Patreon's post visibility controls are bugging out right now and frankly y'all have been kept waiting for updates long enough.
Sorry for the long wait between episodes, everyone! I plan to have the next video ready MUCH faster. Enjoy, and let me know if you spot any problems!
2020-01-11 06:27:40 +0000 UTC View PostHappy holidays, everyone!
Hey y’all! I hope you are having a wonderful end of 2019, however you’re spending it. :)
I wanted to start by saying apologies for the scarcity of new episodes in the last couple months! Holiday workload got pretty overwhelming in advance of the holidays, and prepping for my talk at Magfest ate up WAY more hours than I expected. I’ve got a lot of scripts prepped for 2020, though, an...

Upcoming Episodes
I've shuffled plans around slightly! The two episodes I'm currently working on are The Animation of Phoenix Wright and My Favorite Game Animation of 2019.
I'm aiming to have both episodes ready before the end of the year, but odds are that the Phoenix Wright episode will slip into January. Part of ...

It's voting time! I've got several of my own episodes cooking up at the moment (the next 12 Principles, a Monster Hunter video and my 2019 Favorites), but I also need a patron-selected topic to be thinking on!
Remember, you're allowed to vote multiple times here, so go ahead and select all the topics you're most interested in seeing an episode about. Big thanks to everyone who submi...

It's time for another patron-suggested episode, so y'all need to help me pick another animation to analyze!
As always, once everyone has had time to submit their suggestions, I'll look through them all and hand-pick the 5 suggestions which excite me most. The...

Upcoming Episodes
The Hollow Knight episode will be going live just as soon as subtitles are in! I'm really happy with it and had a grand time working on it. :D
In the meantime, I'm beginning work on the next 12 Principles episode, Anticipation. Long-time fans will recall that - just like Timing an...

Getting to spend hours studying Hollow Knight animation? Y'all spoil me.
This was a treat to work on and I hope you enjoy it. Next up: another 12 Principles video!
WIP Episode Preview: "Hollow Knight's Effects Animation"
Got a new episode in the home stretch, and what a fun game to get to study! Definitely still some room for polish on this one, though (and updated patron credits). Enjoy, and let me know if you spot any problems!

The Next Q&A Stream!
Our first Q&A stream was a blast and only had one technical hiccup! The next one will be happening this weekend on Saturday, October 12th at 11:00AM PDT! I'll send out a CrowdCast link for the stream itself later this week. I'm very much looki...

FINALLY. Took a lot longer to wrap this one up than I'd hoped, but it's done!
The next episode will be the one y'all voted for: a look at some of the animations in Hollow Knight! Looking forward to that. :D
2019-10-02 15:01:41 +0000 UTC View PostWIP Episode Preview: "SQUASH & STRETCH"
AT LAST. This one took a lot longer to complete than I'd hoped, partly due to some life stuff but also because I really want to get these 12 Principles episodes right. It still needs the usual polish pass and updated patron credits, but it's nearly there. Enjoy, and let me know if you spot any problems!

It's time for your monthly music recommendations!
We went pretty big last time, so this month I just want to highlight one artist, and he's someone I only recently discovered: Tom Jackson, a.k.a liltommyj.
This artist makes original arrangements by sampling not just the musical sounds from a particular game, but also a variety of sound effects and voice cli...

Coincidentally, several of you happened to suggest different animations from the same game this time, so I decided to combine a few of them into batch topics! Seemed like a good way to fulfill several requests at once. :)

Monthly Q&As!
The New Frame Plus Patreon has reached $1,500 per month! And that means we're going to start doing a patron-exclusive Q&A hangout stream every month, starting in September (probably on either the 13th or the 20th). To keep things manageable, I'm going to start by limiting attendance to $5+ patrons, b...

The latest patron-requested episode is complete! Thanks again to Azmar for suggesting this topic, and to you folks for selecting it in the vote! It was a really fun game to dig further into.
The next episode on the schedule will be the next 12 Principles episode, but then it'll be time for another patron-selected topic. I...

It's time for some more fun music!
I missed last month's recommendation post, so let's make this a chunky one and list a bunch of full-size ALBUMS. I can almost guarantee you that at least one of these will be your jam.
