And it happened entirely by accident.
I mean, I was TRYING to demonstrate the Obi-Ani lightsaber spin, but when I demonstrated at speed, well...you’ll see.
At some point I may put up the actual tutorial short, but this is actually way better 😁
Shorts are very addictive to m...

Knew those Mara Jade pauldrons I made circa 2008 would come in handy some day. (Thanks for the tunic, Valerie!) 😁

Off the back of a comment on an old video, I have finally found an excellent use for the Mara Jade tunic that kind Patron Valerie sent me. So I hope you enjoy that short when I get around to making it.
Ursa Minor is (I hope) returning to school on the 8th March, which I think will help my p...

It has been a time, let me tell you, but I'm pretty proud of how it turned out. Thank you all for your help, and enjoy!

You may have seen from my Community posts on YouTube that I've been working on the dreaded Boob Armour video, and it's...not done, because there is more B roll that I need to shoot and to collect from other people (I got a real HEMA instructor to do some stuff for me, which...

And it is flipping Everywhere, so I decided to make a video about it. Also, TIMELINESS! Because Wonder Woman 1984 is out in the UK now and...well I haven't watched it yet but that does mean that I won't spoil it.
I'm going to watch it though. Just...not today, because it is apparently possi...

Since Director Project videos don't really go up early (well, not by more than an hour or two) please enjoy this very early Can You Fight in a Corset? video, which I had a ridiculous amount of fun making. Though it was a bit complicated in places. :)

Happy New Year, all! Guess who's now in Lockdown 2.0? (Yes, that would be me, and the entirety of England with me.) Ursa Minor's school is shut, so if you see less of me in the next few weeks it's because I'm trying to get all of my videos done and homeschool at the same time.
Pray for me. ...

Hello. My name is Jill Bearup. If any of you catch the song reference in THIS video I'm going to be extremely surprised.
Love to you all!

Well, sometimes you just need to...take twenty-ish minutes of video time to fix up the many action scenes in Jupiter Ascending? I guess?

Ah, friends. I hope you enjoy this little video, I had a great time making it, though I did almost fall:
- off the bench
- off the railings and
- over my own trailing ribbons.
You will perhaps be relieved to know I was not in danger of falling out of the tree.

What do you think of my silver play button setup? 😁
I’m wondering if I should shorten the string and move the plaque up relative to the sword. Being aesthetically challenged, I thought I’d ask your advice.
Also: 100K, WE DID IT, LOOK, WE ARE AMAZING 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Hello Patrons! This is the no-sponsor-read-extra-chatting-about-punching version of my latest video, which is part of the Director Project. If you'd like to see more Director Project videos (Steven Spielberg this month) there's a playlist here: 2020-11-01 18:12:44 +0000 UTC View Post
So first of all: WE DID IT, 100,000 SUBSCRIBERS, AHHHH!!!!
Second of all: there is no bonus content on this episode, it's just early access, because tutorials are actually really hard and I'm really impressed by people who do them now. Just getting it to exist at all was...an experience. Bu...

It's here! I hope you enjoy this analysis of The Last Airbender's combat magic, and how...it isn't really the best, and also the novelty value of someone Saying A Couple of Nice Things about the movie, which is pretty much illegal on the internet. :)
