Should have the next video done sometime this week. Been trying to learn better techniques with audio, animating, editing, and other stuff. Just trying to improve. Love yall

Well I've hit somewhat of an animator's block with the video I'm working on called "Bill wakes up". Just at a point where I'm struggling too much to figure out how I'm going to animate certain parts. So I'm going to put it on a back burner rather than half-ass my way through it. Instead, I'll be working on multiple videos that will be shorter and make you question my sanity. After these few videos, I'll be moving on to make the next "To Catch an FPS", there's so much audio to play with in regards to Chris Hansen to make multiple vids. It'll be a TF2, L4D2, or HL2 character to play the "predator" as they have so much audio to choose from to sync with Hansen's questioning. Drop a character's name that you would want to see featured as I've not exactly chosen one yet. For right now, Coach is off-limits, I can't make him a predator because I like him too much :( Also, very close to being a full fledged YouTube partner, just need about 200 more watch hours on my videos. Excited. Thank y'all for bein here

Next video (comedy-focused) is still in the making. Went through multiple script/map changes, which I'm actually thankful for. What I originally was going to do is no where near as great as what I'm doing now. Took a ton of time with prop placement and sound clip finding (going through thousands of voice dialogue clips and others is always fun). One annoying thing though has been SFM crashing when going through animation sequences or downloaded models quickly. Sometime soon I think I'm going to have to reinstall SFM and carefully go through and re-add workshop items I'll actually use. I might have TOO many add-ons currently. Anyways, just wanted to let y'all know. I'm excited for what's being made 🤫

Greetings and salutations! So my next video (will start animating/setting up tomorrow) is gonna be a comedy even though it's hard to get Odd Engies and blood off my mind 🤪 But after this comedy video I think I'm going to start the next To Catch an FPS episode if that's cool with y'all. Then after that will probably be Odd Engies again. When it's closer to that point, we'll have much to discuss as far as what I'll make.

Glad the new Odd Engies vid is being well-received. There WILL be more Odd Engies content. A couple of future vids of them will be actual scenes of some sort rather than compilations of things taking place within the Odd Engies verse spanning multiple maps where Odd Engineers have seized control.

Here is a list of some non-Odd Engies future videos I plan on doing (tentative titles), in no particular order and it doesn't include other videos that I'll make:

- To Catch an FPS (multiple vids)
- Coach vs Rochelle (which will be the 3rd installment of their rivalry)
- Burger Tank 2
- The Ridiculously Annoying TF2 Sniper

I haven't decided if I'm going to make some of these or other vids in Garry's Mod or not. I've been away from Gmod for a looooong time. Definitely gonna have to relearn how to operate as a creator in Gmod again. I really miss it. I gotta get back to my roots for some vids.

Anyways, more to come and I can't express how much I ABSOLUTELY appreciate you all for having any interest in my stuff in the first place 🤗

The video will definitely be uploaded sometime tomorrow. It'll be sorta close to 2 min in length. Pleased with it considering how ridiculously rusty with SFM I was going into it, which is why it took me way longer to make than it should have. Sorry I made you all wait so long. Excited to remind the TF2 community that something odd still lurks 👷🏼‍♂️

I decided to take a different route music-wise. I was originally going to use part of the soundtrack from a horror movie, but I was really worried about possible copyright issues. I usually don't sweat that stuff but since this is going to be my first video back into full-time video video making (as part Youtube partner), and it deals with Odd Engies, I want to be safe. So thankfully I've gotten the permission to use a great piece of horror music from another artist. Because of that I'm having to edit clips differently and animate new scenes and whatnot to better match the audio.

I'm hoping I can get done with the SFM side of this video by this weekend. After that it shouldn't take me long at all to piece things together editing-wise. Although, yesterday I downloaded and now using the free version of DaVinci Resolve to edit, praying that goes well, never used it before. For the last several years I've been using various versions of Sony Vegas on Steam. But Vegas is now owned by MAGIX and I just can't get things working right in Vegas with clips flickering or being totally black with only the audio playing, amongst other weird crap. In my prime days I used Premiere Pro when I owned Creative Suite 4. I'm not really a fan of Adobe with some of their practices but I do really miss Premiere Pro and After Effects. Things are so dang expensive nowadays with subscriptions, can't afford it. But we'll make do. Once I get this video uploaded, I'll get over a mental mountain of mine. Then the videos will flow. Love you all for bearing with me!

The Odd Engies video I'm working on is taking longer than expected. Managed to get through some really frustrating render issues within SFM. I can tell you this: the Odd Engies have never been scarier than this. Trust.
