FIRE

Here's the first BEHIND THE SCENES video! Wow! I caught a piece of paper on fire and my phone glitched and I almost caught my hand on fire lol

Change of pace...

Before the film movements Film Nerd episode, I'm working on a standalone piece on video games as a medium and why they're valuable. I got (obsessively) into Undertale recently and it got me thinking about how most of my IRL friends don't really care about games or understand them and how it's a shame I can't share something that...

SO YOU WANNA BE A FILM NERD episode 4

Thank you for the support!!

The end is in sight

Vast majority of work on the episode is done. Filling in some gaps here and there now then I'll add text annotations and music and it'll be done. What I'm struggling with more than that is how political I get at the end- I don't want to cause controversy or distract from the content, but I also want to be honest. We'll see what ...

Technical difficulties :(

Internet is messing up (will work for a few minutes at a time then die completely) and it is making it really difficult to collect clips for episode 4, especially flavor clips from interviews and stuff I've been trying to find. I apologize. Limited to what I've already grabbed and goofing off on forums and twitter til it's fixed...

Bumps in the road...

So due to some personal stuff that came up and very minor software/equipment failures (Premiere's effect controls were goofing up, my cell phone/camera was overheating, and it took me AGES to get a lighter to work AS I was recording on my phone which was overheating!!) the ep's been delayed. I might still be able to finish by to...

Episode four...

...should be up by next Wednesday night/Thursday morning! Woooo! AUTEUR THEORY!

Podcast Guest Appearances!

Thanks so much for the support!!

I got my first Patreon payment recently! Right in time for Patreon to run into payment processing errors! Haha! But all's well that ends well.

I wanted to say thank you to every one of y'all for supporting me. It's been a rough couple of months- that payment brought a bank account of mine out of overdraft!- and y'al...

SO YOU WANNA BE A FILM NERD EPISODE 3: categorizing movies

ALMOST THERE

Editing the new episode now! Not going to bed until it's posted! This one is pretty straightforward and has more academic terminology than the first two (though parts are still very goofy). Stuff will probably get more specific as the series goes on.

My next step after this episode is done is to record at least a co...

Ep 3 coming soon. Plus a new series??

Hey all! Hard deadline for FILM NERD episode 3 is the night of the 1st. Out of town now and tightening the script up in my downtime. I'm shooting for 6-8 minutes for this one but we'll see. I'm also working on a review/analytical piece about a certain TV show (as seen in the screenshot). Can you guess which one?? I definitely wa...

Patreon video now LIVE!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zvq44Wfq3DA Wooo!

Pretty much finished with the Patreon video. Going to wait to upload it until tomorrow, though, so I can have it captioned and not uploaded super late at night haha. Working on typing up the full script for episode 2 so I can (finally) caption it.
