Since I started Patreon, I've only applied your pledges to one video per month, with the exception of one month when I made two pledged videos. This month will yield two animations, for instance, but I'm only applying pledges to one of them (the one I put most of the work into). I'm wondering if I s...

At this point in the animation, the camera pulls out into an extremely wide view as the robot is being levitated by a beam of light into the gigantic mainframe, where the creator resides. If you look closely at the beam of light, you can still see the robot, which looks like a tiny black dot at this...

This is the gatekeeper who will send the robot to see his maker. Also, just in case some of you missed it, I uploaded an animation that I didn't make Patreon supported, because it's just a goofy little short with no real point other than comedy, and I didn't want to charge you for that (it only amou...

I try to convey a sense of immense scale in this video more than I have in my past work. As I said before, the bridge represents death, and after Unit 37 crosses over it, he encounters a gatekeeper of sorts, like the robot version of St. Peter. You'll see that in my next update.
Sorry I haven't been posting much lately, but that doesn't mean I haven't been hard at work creating this world and its inhabitants. I've taken a dozen or so screenshots from various scenes I've set up, and I'll post them a little more regularly. I've been more preoccupied with creating this thing t...

This is a different angle of the structure (see my previous post for an explanation of what this is). On the upper right, you can see the three doors, which is the entrance to the tunnel of light. The structure is massive, and from this distance, the robot would only be a tiny speck at the top, but ...

My next video depicts a world inhabited by artificial intelligence. There is a faction of robots who envision their creator as the ultimate machine, naturally capable of limitless calculations per second. Of course it would be totally illogical if their creator was a simple human being, incapable of...

Thank you very much for your suggestions. I appreciate it. Sorry, again, that I had to delete the first upload, but YouTube Support did contact me and assured me that they knew about the issue, and that it has been resolved, so the video should make it into subscription feeds now. While I had their ...
2016-05-17 21:45:18 +0000 UTC View PostSome of you may have noticed that I uploaded a new animation and then deleted it an hour later. You will NOT be charged twice for it. I deleted it because YouTube is having issues with its subscription feeds right now. Many people, some with millions of subscribers, aren't getting views on their new...
2016-05-13 23:27:48 +0000 UTC View PostGod was thinking of doing another top 10 list video, much to Jeffery’s dismay. The idea He had for the video was “Top 10 Reasons Jesus Hasn’t Returned Yet”. Some of the reasons I came up with, which I may or may not use:
- He actually did come back, but ended up in an insane asylum for cla...

It’s finally done and I’m greatly relieved, because this is a video that has been on my mind for a long time. I toiled with how to word it, and rewrote it over and over again. As equally frustrating were my attempts to narrate it, doing take after take, long into the night. By far the bulk of my...

This is the final preview image I'll upload before the animation comes out, because it is nearly done and will go live within a day or two. I worked on it all day, every day, since I got back from my vacation at the beginning of April. I'm sure my family misses me and it will be nice to spend some m...

I was unsure about this animation, because it will be so different than anything I've done before, but now that I've gotten enough done to see part of the finished result, I'm pretty happy with it.
I couldn't have returned with a more difficult animation than this one. The voice work alone took about 40 hours. When you hear it, you'll immediately understand why. I still have a lot of animating to do, but I'm hoping for an April release.
I did the textures with my digital pen this time, drawing the vegetation climbing up the walls from below and hanging down from above, like the upper and lower teeth of a giant natural maw, slowly devouring the city. I drew the decaying stop sign as a bit of symbolism. Hopefully it’s not too ham-f...

I just got back from Colorado, finished the 1,900 mile drive yesterday. Above is a picture of me and my son as I carried him up a mountain. We’re about halfway through our journey in that pic. It was extremely difficult with him on my shoulders. I was proud to be able to do it, and he had great fu...

Unfortunately, besides writing scripts, I won’t be able to work on my animations until April. Normally, I’d be well into an animation by this time of the month, but I was...

My next animation is complete, but it's so close to the end of the month that I'm going to hold on to it for a few days so that you won't be charged for two videos this month. I made this short bank robbery scene to display during the credits (so people won't close the video during the credits). In ...

The most privileged being in the universe will naturally be banned from heaven. Then again, given enough time, so will everyone else.
Hey can I get some muscle over here? Who wants to help me get this deity out of here?
I want to get your input regarding whether or not to make this cartoon, and if so, whether it should be Patreon supported. The first half of the script I wrote is a fairly serious debate between God and Jeffery regarding the modern social justice movement. The second half of the script turns into a ...

As someone who never believed in God, people who had to deconvert really
impress me. You overcame so many odds. The deck has always been stacked
against you, yet you prevailed. You were honest with yourself. Don't
buy into the idea that figuring out God doesn't exist is no big deal....

In this part of the video, I'm building up a point about how a claim that would normally be considered ridiculous if claimed by one person, can instead seem obviously true when a vast array of people reinforce each other in their belief of the claim. Though this video will use religion to exemplify ...
2016-02-09 02:41:40 +0000 UTC View PostSorry I haven’t been keeping Patreon as up to date as I should. I’ve been working on an animation for a while now which will be done in February. So far, it doesn’t provide many good screenshots. For some reason, lately I’ve been alternating between comedy videos and serious videos with each...

In this video I address conflicts between God's plan, free will, and answering prayers. Thanks so much for your support!
Another screenshot from my upcoming animation. I finished the rest of the animating on it today, so I'll be editing it over the weekend.
Seven years ago, my first cartoon included cars driving in a city, just like my next cartoon. I drew all the cars in both cartoons using the same program, Anime Studio (which I was still learning how to use for that first cartoon), but I created the background of the more recent cartoon using Vue. I...

This frame is from a video I started working on about prayer and how answering any prayers would cause a butterfly effect that would ripple throughout God's plan, forcing Him to constantly make alterations, thereby affecting countless people, undermining freewill, and negating the purpose of having ...

Thank you so much for your support! This one was tons of work, and you helped make it possible for me to devote the time required to make it. I greatly appreciate that, because this is what I love to do, and maybe it will have a worthwhile impact on people.
