Well… a couple days into the future, anyway… Sorry for being a bit scattered still; this month’s been playing A LOT of mind games with us, and we’re clearly feeling the effects! 😖 Hopefully you’re all hyped to see how we handle a challenging game (or maybe you’ll even go play it in...

HeyJ, everyone! Once again, updates are a little sparse (at least, about the next musical), but we still felt like showing off a little something we've been putting together for REplayed (which many of you receive shoutouts on each month!)
We're also trying something new: revealing which R...
HeyJ, everyone! We’re still waiting on some bigger updates, so here’s a few bite-sized tidbits for you, including a tiny hint of FNAF news. Enjoy!
Beard Salute!

HeyJ, everyone! It’s been a hot minute, hasn’t it? Our new musical released last Friday, so now we’re back to strategizing what we can produce for next month. 😖 Of course, we have a few small extra things in progress, too. Here’s how it’s all going!
Thank you for supporting RE....

HeyJ, everyone! Updates are slim so far as costumes and footage, but we’re finally releasing an animation some of you saw a while back. We also have a little extra progress on something you probably HAVEN’T heard about, so thanks for being patient and stick around — there’s fun stuff ahea...

HeyJ, everyone! First, I apologize for the lack of updates since "Your Happy Ending" premiered. Second, I apologize for a long REport to make up for it... ^^;
And third, I apologize if anything we say in this comes off as a little "raw," "unfiltered," or "judgemental." Everyone has their o...
Okay, we're a little early. But as we wrap up the video for tomorrow's premiere, we wanted to share a quick update with you all. Also, sorry about how dark this is. We were cruising on fumes by this point, but we hope you like the sound of what's coming!
Stay tuned if you're on the music ti...

HeyJ, team. Let's skip to the crux of things: this might be the dumbest REport you ever see. Please don't try stupid things at home -- leave them to the professional stupid people on YouTube (with cool bonus features like health insurance and next of kin). If you've ever wanted to watch Nate and ...

HeyJ, team! We're working on a few different ends of the same project at the moment, so here's Gwen's update first! I'll check in next with more about the music, which is (hopefully) a fitting follow up to Nana Knows the Ending. And I'm going to walk back my predictions and say... 80% of you know...

HeyJ, everyone! We've been a little sparse on updates... and still are... but thankfully, our animators abroad aren't! ^^; Here are some new details about those backburner projects we're hoping to roll out over the next year and couldn't make without you!
Beard Salute!

HeyJ, everyone! Here’s a quick clip of what we’ve been up to!

Howdy, y'all! We spent a good portion of the day yesterday filming the majority of our upcoming Stanley Parable musical and filmed the remaining few shots today! I've personally spent the majority of my evening getting a rough cut of the project together while the other two have been working on o...

HeyJ, everyone! Sorry for the late-breaking news, but your bunny boy-o is getting sidelined for a few weeks while we square away some production details. In the meanwhile, we've made a last-second emergency switch to THE STANLEY PARABLE for this month, which has been lingering on our musical to-d...

HeyJ, everyone! Here's a quick, late night update for you all. It's mostly centered on an upcoming merch item that we've... run into some snags over... If you feel like skipping all the venting, though, there's a fun little extra surprise toward the end. Let us know what your reactions are!
HeyJ, everybody! This REport comes with our customary word of caution: all updates, schedules, and concepts covered in this video are subject to change without notice. ;) Always assume there's a wrench or two we'll run into, because we probably will (or already have!)
Nevertheless, enjoy a ...

Hey, encounterers! In case you missed our overly-long 5 hour stream yesterday, or just don't want to go back and watch (which is understandable), this little teaser was shown at the end of it! We've talked in REports before about these projects and have shown footage from Animal Crossing and Bend...

HeyJ, everyone! We busted some familiar items out of storage today to do a little filming... Nothing major, of course, but we thought we'd take the opportunity to share it with you!
We can't say for certain when any of this footage will be released on RE, but it's safe to assume we'll be st...
2021-05-27 08:42:40 +0000 UTC View PostHeyJ, everyone! Since today's musical is launching late (5pm Pacific), I was going to bump our chat time a bit later... but not too late, or it'll clash with REplayed. :O So I'm thinking of hopping on half an hour before the premiere, actually, and sticking around half an hour after -- a little l...

Not long now before our Little Nightmares 2 musical sees the light of day! Since wrapping up the primary chunks of filming, we've been burning the midnight oil working on all of the VFX shots for the project. As noted in this video, we just filmed the last few (small) shots that we needed, so we'...

As some of you are already aware, we were out of town Wednesday night through Thursday evening to film on location for Little Nightmares 2! Our trip took us to the Sequoia National Park, which is about 4 hours north of where we live (3 hours to the forest itself, 1 extra hour to our shooting loca...

Greetings, encounterers! We're getting ready to head out of town briefly to film on location in a forest area, but before we do, I wanted to upload this REport from last night! Theoretically, after we've filmed in the forest, all of the footage for this project (other than maybe a few pick-ups) w...

After putting in a long day of work on VFX shots, it was time that we accepted reality -- there simply isn't enough time this week to film all the remaining shots AND do all of the post production work. So, we finally pulled the trigger and decided to delay our Little Nightmares 2 musical b...

With only a few days left to go before release, we spent another night last night filming EVEN MORE green screen shots! Currently, AJ and myself are working on keying out the green and putting in the backgrounds while we wait for the sun to go down. Once that happens, it's back to filming MORE......

Progress on our Little Nightmares 2 musical continues to chug along!

HeyJ, everyone! It's a slight update for a long week, but I hope the progress we're making on our next musical is looking (and sounding) good to you all!
