Lines in Motion (Dani)

How TRIGGER adapted Dungeon Meshi perfectly

Happy video release day! I have posted this simultaneaouly on youtube, but over there it also has the Skillshare sponsorship ad which I've taken out for you guys (though, if any of you guys wanted to help out, any and all sign-ups to Skillshare through the link will help out a lot!) I've been using Skillshare for cooking and writing classes, and it's been a lot of fun!

Anyhow, hope you gu...

Dungeon Meshi video preview

Hi all! So here's a little preview for the Meshi video, it's going along super well and should be done soon-ish. The official video will have a sponsor attached (Skillshare), but I'll look to see if I can trim it out for you guys so the video stays seamless. I've been having so much fun with this video, truly!

This isn't the final cut, it's still 85% there though. And it's only a few min...

What's next!

Hey all! Thanks for the support on the Witch Hat video, even to those who can't watch it because of spoilers but left a comment, or said they'd watch it when they can - appreciate you!

As for what's up next on the channel video-wise, after considering the vote on here, and also looking at the same results on twitter (though you guys take priority) it looks like it's a 90/10 split of peop...

Witch Hat video release!!!

Phew, it's been a little while since I last updated - and with good excuse! I've been pulling a lot of hours into getting this video out into the wild, and it's now officially my longest video on the channel. And, quite frankly, it couldn't be for a better series!

I really poured a lot into this one, because it covers so many topics I care about deeply, Witch Hat is such a lovable series,...

Video Update

Hey everyone, so little update time. I'm well into the editing of the Witch Hat Atelier video. The reason it's been a wait is because it's looking to be my longest video on the channel - around the 31 minute mark, which makes for a lot of editing on my side of things. (And also it took a long time to write this, there are certain sections that I wanted other people to read over).<...

Poll: Help/feedback needed!

Hi all, so today after the last episode of Dungeon Meshi aired, Studio TRIGGER instantly announced that they're doing a second season (which I believe will be another 2 cour that'll finish up the whole manga - HOW EXCITING, I'M LITERALLY BUZZING 😭😭)

I've been planning to do a video about how much I've ...

TUTORIAL: How to Caption your Videos Easily

You will need Premiere Pro to follow this tutorial

Hey all, I've been asked a few times, asking how I go about subtitling my videos. More than 45% of my audience watches with subs on, and it's just a way to be more accessible to those who may need them. So hopefully this helps! (And yes, this subtitling video also has subtitles)

If ...

Q&A (and little vlog moments)

Hey all, here's my Q&A!! I've uploaded it separately into Patreon, because I think you'll be able to listen to it even with the window closed (on the app) as opposed to youtube - unless you've got youtube premium.

Also, because of the whole new crappy system youtube have in regards to ads, I won't be able to stop just how many it'll add, and because this video is just short of 2 hour...

Why You should Watch Scavengers Reign (VID RELEASE)

Hey all, so here's my next video!! I'm actually shocked by how quickly I managed to get this video done, it wasn't rushed by any means, but I always forget just how quickly I can get non-manga related videos out sometimes 😂

I LOVE this show so much. It is horror sci-fi, and does contain bits of body h...

What I'm working on next!

Hi all, so the next video I'm going to be working on is surrounding the show "Scavengers Reign". Right now, it's currently only available through Max in the US, I believe. But this is soon to change!

I don't want to give too much away, but it's such a unique and brilliant adult sci-fi animated show that is getting released on Netflix May 31st - which is when I plan to ge...

Q&A - Ask your questions

Hi all! So over the weekend I'm going to London and will be filming a Q&A. As you guys are supporting me on here, you get first priority, and your question/comment won't be skipped over.

If you're on Discord, I mentioned which channel you can put your questions/comments, but if you're not on there, feel free to reply to this post with them!

Thank you for the love in the Look...

a LOOK BACK into's Fujimoto's mind (VIDEO RELEASE)

Hey all, the new video about Look Back is now out! If you haven't read the one-shot, I'd definitely do that before watching the video, as I pretty much cover the entire story. Doesn't take long to read at all - so you can get to this whenever!

I did this video after being inspired by two things. 1) I visited my Nan's a few weeks back and she got out all the ...

Next Project - "Let's take a LOOK BACK into Fujimoto's mind"

Hey all, thank you for all the lovely comments on the last video - I'm glad you all liked it! Now, before people comment "but Dani I thought you weren't announcing videos anymore", I think what I'll do is post the video announcement 1 week before it's release. That's far better than right at the begining, where changes could happen along the process.

I worked on this video simult...

My FAVOURITE manga Scene (video release!)

Hey all, here's my new video!! Sorry it took a while to make, but I hope it's worth the wait 😊

This was actually a lot of fun to work on, I've been wanting to do a video like this for a while (or since this particular scene came out, actually!) If it does well enough, or if you guys like it enough, I'd love to follow up with a "My Favourite Manga Chapter" video. I think a "My Favourite...

Channel & Video Update

Hey all, been a little while, I'm just here with a video update. It's pretty chill and informal, but I've added some subtitles as well (they were automated but I had a pretty decent look through them, so sorry if the punctuation is off).

Feel free to just listen to this instead if you don't want to watch as there's not much visual wise other than three thumbnails and my face.

Should you Judge a Book by its Cover? VIDEO RELEASE

Hey everyone!! Finally getting out my book cover related video and this was an absolute beast to edit. It took a lot of patience and creative processing sessions to get through some parts of the video - but I hope you all like it!

What do you guys reckon, would you say you judge a book by its cover? And after having watched the video, do you feel any differently? Would love to know what y...

Next Video Preview Teaser

Hey all, just an update as to how the next video is going! I've uploaded a 1 minute video which I hope will give you guys a good idea as to the vibe/topic of the video.

This one has been a challenge because i'm not able to rely on existing illustrations or footage, it's very much a big motion graphics video where I have to get creative in what I show from one scene to the next. 

Manga Editing Timelapse: Step by Step

Hey all, a few have asked for some timelapses showing the steps I take with manga editing. For the Fool Night and Hikaru video I went to the extra length of adding colour to the videos, so I thought they would have good scenes to demonstrate.

All of the effects labelled are free besides:

Video update and change!

Hi all, hope everyone is doing well.

So there's been a little development going on for me in regards to a sponsorship in alignment with WEBTOON, which means I've had to switch my video from Claymore to my video topic surrounding book covers. This video was originally going to release after the Claymore and After God videos anyways, so I've pushed it forward.

The reason behind this i...

2024 and onwards!

Hey all, I hope everybody had a lovely Christmas and New Years!! This post is going to a bit of a ramble-y one, just to forewarn. I wanted to reflect a little bit on how 2023 went for the channel, and what I'll be doing for future projects.

2023

So in 2023 I made a total of 11 videos, 9 of which are on youtube, and then 2 are patreon-only as they had massive copyr...

POLL TIME: Which manga shall I cover next?

My next video will either by about After God by Eno Sumi or Claymore by Norihiro Yagi.

For context, After God will very much be a recommendation video like the Fool Night project, whil...

The Summer Hikaru Died: Where Body Horror and the Uncanny Valley Collide

Hey all, so bit of an early Christmas gift, here's my video about the well loved manga The Summer Hikaru Died!

Originally this was going to be a video just covering the body horror, but I found myself liking the dichotomy between body horror and the uncanny valley so much - I think they work so well against another! Meaning, this became a video that discusses both techniques/elements, ins...

The Summer Hikaru Died Video Update!

Hi all, just to catch you up to speed with what I'm working on - I'm currently making my way through The Summer Hikaru Died video, it's all written and recorded so I'm pushing through the editing process atm! 

I've uploaded a 1.5 minute draft preview, just to show how it's going (I haven't reached the actual Hikaru part of the video yet, so there's no spoilers for the series in the p...

Fool Night - An Ecohorror Manga Worth Reading

After 6 incredibly frustrating hours of rendering later, my new video on Fool Night it finally here!! Funnily enough, I had wanted to originally do this video as a way of recommending it to as many as possible, in the hopes to get enough conversations going, so that it would get picked up for localisation.

Well, it got picked up anyways.... Four days into the video production ðŸ˜...

GHOSTFACE - Creating the Iconic Mask

I've had a few people ask about why the Scream video seemed to be unavailable on my channel. So, for the last two weeks I've been having issues with Paramount with a copyright claim that pretty much took down the whole video. As a result, I've tried doing re-edits to get it back up, but with no luck. It was a manual take-down too, which make it a bit more of a serious issue.

Sinc...

Realta - Bringing Astrology to Life

This video was unfortunately taken down by Webtoon themselves, (I think due to Realta having been picked up officially by Webtoon as an Original - of which, when I made the video it was just a canvas story).

Which means this is now a Patreon-only video!! 

Video update and sneak peak

Hi all, just updating you guys on where I'm at regarding the next video which will be covering Fool Night by Yasuda Kasumi. All the scripting and recording is done, so I'm pretty much on the editing side of things.

For this video, I really want to test my video editing skills by trying new things I've yet to attempt. I'm experimenting with different techniques to hopefully make this feel ...

TUTORIAL: Scripting (my steps and process)

Hi all, today I'm sharing a very chill video that discusses the steps I take when scripting all of my videos. There are some visuals in the video, but it's one that can be a listen-only experience, too.

I've done a few video tutorials and thought it was about time to show you the other side of video making, which is writing up the scripts. Timestamps are in the video and should appear as ...

GHOSTFACE - The true history behind the Scream mask

Happy Halloween everyone! And happy release day, too!

The video is still worryingly doing copyright checks, fingers crossed all goes well but if not - I'll have to upload the actual video to Patreon before doing some re-edits on the video.

This video was SO much fun to do, and totally fit in well with the spooky vibes of this month. I genuinely can't believe I'd never heard of the h...

Video update!

Hey all, thank you for all the positive words on the last video, and for those who got in touch to say which manga they decided to check out because of the recommendations!! As I said in a post previously, this next video is a surprise one that should be coming out any time now up until next Thursday.

I don't want to give spoilers away as to what it is but I have...
