A Dangerous Idea
It's finally done! I hope you like it. Thanks, everyone, for your input and support. YouTube ad money is officially gone (actually it's about $3.00 per day now, down from around $170.00 per day), so you're it right now. You're keeping the channel alive. I might also try live-streamin...
Blasphemy
During the part of the animation when Jeffery talks about blasphemy, a storm rolls through in the distance, but the sun comes out when he speaks of weakening that control over the people. This will be the final post before the animation comes out, which should be soon (a day or two). It's almost...
More relevant than a galaxy
I created this scene from Adam's life as Jeffery explains certain aspects of meaning. Hopefully the animation will be uploaded next week. I've been working on it everyday since my previous upload (which is why I've sort of disappeared from the internet), and I'm pretty happy with it....
Setting Renders
These are some renders of a few settings I created for my next animation (you can read the script for it in my previous post here on Patreon). As there are a lot of back and forth conversations going on, I created entire rooms that could be viewed from any angle. Any paintings or drawings you see on...
Script for "A Dangerous Idea"
*Scene - Jeffery (older) walking with The Chronicler on a green field with a huge planet on the horizon*Jeffery - You have no files on your progenitor, do you?Chronicler - No, sir.Jeffery - Let’s make some, shall we?Chronicler - Of course.Jeffery - He started out as an everyday, ordinary simulated...
A Dangerous Idea
The next major animation I'm working on is tentatively called "A Dangerous Idea" (Power Corrupts) and the render you see here is a setting from it, greatly reduced in size. I've rewritten the script at least 10x, and I'll post it on Patreon soon. In the old days, I'd finish t...
If Your Body Were a Religion
Here’s the final product of that script I posted last time. So far I’ve been able to keep to my schedule of posting every Tuesday this month. The animation I posted last week was a huge help to my channel, because TJ Kirk drove a lot of traffic my way. It didn’t produce much ad revenue due to ...
I'm going to start posting scripts. Here's one now!
First of all, thank you so much for your wonderful response in the face of this YouTube advertiser boycott. You're all carrying me through this, and it's difficult to describe how much I appreciate it. So, I'm just going to do my best to be worthy of it.I know you care about this channel...
Plans to help grow the channel
Since I've been at the mercy of YouTube's pressure to post more often, which is difficult to do as an animator, I thought of doing a little experiment. I've been working day and night on animating and writing. I'm going to try to post an animation every Tuesday in April. So far, I on...
Major YouTube Controversy
In mid-2014, YouTube changed its algorithm in such a way that it dramatically affected channels like mine, animators who could only upload shorter videos infrequently. At that time my income from ad revenue, which amounted to a middle-class income, dropped by around 50-60% to a lower-class income. O...
If Muhammad Became the President
Once again, thank you for your support! Because I have far fewer patrons than subscribers, I’m able to read all of your comments and messages. When you add that to the fact that patrons usually have a greater interest in the channel than an average subscriber, I’m much more attentive to your sug...
Muhammad vs Milo
In this scene Milo denounces pedophilia in Muhammad’s presence, and Muhammad has a bit of an upset reaction. Sorry I haven’t been keeping you as up to date on my progress as I’d like, but there’s so many visual jokes in this animation, and I don’t want to give them all away.
Muhammad's Oval Office
Since several scenes of my next animation take place in the Oval Office, I decided to create a 3D replica of the Oval Office so that I could have an accurate depiction of it from multiple angles. As you can see, I took a few liberties with the decor.
If Muhammad Became the President
I wrote a script for another video with Muhammad disguised as Trump. Last time, it was for the debates with Hilary Clinton, but this time it would be framed from Trump's first month in office. Basically, Muhammad gets into confrontations with the media for depicting him, tries to institute praye...
David, Goliath, and the 200 Cyclops Sleeves
The next part of David’s story is usually quite abbreviated in Sunday School and baby bibles, typically ending with David defeating Goliath by slinging a rock at him. After that, however, David chops Goliath’s head off ISIS-style and parades it around. He doesn’t simply stop with chopping off ...
One Man Army
With David on their side, slaughtering Philistines by the thousands, the other Israelite troops enjoy a little extra R&R.
David Offers to Fight Goliath
In the bible, for forty days, Goliath stands before the army of Israel, challenging any one of them to fight him (he was nine feet tall). Saul and his army stands there like frightened children as this giant repeats his challenge for over a month, until David comes along bearing food and generally a...
King David
This is the start of King David’s story, and his story has a lot of iconic moments from the bible, so I figured it would be good to give it the DarkMatter treatment. It could never be covered in one cartoon, so it has to be a miniseries. This fifteen minute animation only covers a few chapters, an...
Unspeakable Horror
“Now the Spirit of the Lord had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him.” ~1 Samuel 16:14In this scene, God descends into hell (around 2000 miles below present day Detroit) to commission an evil spirit from Lucy Fur, who is able to provide Him with a truly horrifying n...
Always keep an eye on your tasty beverage
I'm working on the part of the bible in which God sends an evil spirit to torment King Saul. Any suggestions on who/what the evil spirit should be?
Whoa...hold it right there! Dis is a good heffa.
God commands Saul to kill all the Amalekite men, women, children, infants, cattle, sheep, camels, and donkeys. Saul saves some of the animals, however, to be sacrificed to God. So, because Saul didn't kill the animals right away, God rebukes Saul, sends an evil spirit to torment him, and rejects...
Saul and David
In 1st & 2nd Samuel, King Saul keeps putting "hits" out on David, and David - a war hero - keeps evading the attempts on his life. For some reason, I thought these two could play the roles well.
Samuel
"...and you will know my name is the LORD when I lay my vengeance upon thee." Getting characters ready for the King David series. This guy plays Samuel.
The Horror of Your Desires
This is Episode 9 of Power Corrupts. Thank you so much for your support! The first season of this series will probably end with Episode 10 (not sure when that will be made), and then I will decide if it should continue. Your input will be valued and considered, as usual. Now, I’ll be working on Ki...
Lucy
In this part of the series, something catastrophic will happen, facilitated by Yahweh’s control over Lucy Fur.
The Authorities
The police are on their way to shut down Yahweh’s simulation and detain him, but things do not go as planned.Also, in case you missed it, here’s that animated short that I didn’t make Patreon-funded (just a little something I hurried to get out before Christmas):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
Revisiting an Unexpected God
I’m currently working on three animations: episode 9 of the Power Corrupts series (pictured above), a spoof of It’s a Wonderful Life, and the King David animation. The spoof was a last minute decision, but it needs to be done before Christmas, so that one will be coming out first. Since it’s j...
Plans for December and January
Pretty much everyone who responded to my previous post thinks it would be good to do the story of King David. Because it's such an extensive story, I'll have to create several scripts and a lot of characters and settings. That is far too much to have ready in December. So, I decided to simul...
Should I or shouldn't I?
I’ve been thinking of doing a video on King David, Solomon’s father. So, I went through 1st and 2nd Samuel (and a little bit of 1st Kings), and wrote a summary of each chapter. There’s tons of classic stuff in there that would be great to animate, like God tormenting Saul with an evil spirit, ...
King Solomon
Thanks, everyone, for your support! This is the longest single animation I've ever made (20 minutes). It was a ton of work. I hope you find it worthy.
