Making of | "A More Ancient Spring"

Hannah has seen Old Buck!
This is "Hannah" or "UALVP55900". It is the asymmetrical styracosaurus specimen that inspired me to make "Old Buck", which kicked off the whole "Dinosauria Series". I talked a bit about the fossil in my "Making of | Old Buck" video and the fossil even makes a ...
"Dinosauria" Update #25: The sweeter side of dinosaurs.
When I started brainstorming ideas for the "Dinosauria Series" I planned on experimenting with a different tone and genre per episode, each idea being very different from the next. One idea being almost like a western showdown, another being a straight-up horror film, and another being a sur...

Her name was Scarlet. (I'm taking another break)
Scarlet was my cat. You've all probably seen her once or twice as she's appeared in a lot of my "making of" videos.I got Scarlet when I was 5 years old, and she lived for 20 years. I cannot remember a time in my life when she wasn't around. I was a very lonely home-schooled child...
