Only changes I'll make to this in post is holding some beats longer. After watching this I realized some visual info goes by too quick. Other than that I'm pleased the way this turned out. The VA for Waluigi did a great job. He's a very dear friend of mine, and I've been trying to make something...
2025-08-13 18:53:08 +0000 UTC View PostEpisode 4 is here! Big shout out to the patrons old and new. Really appreciate the support. This is my favorite script so far. Longest one yet too. There's a sweet spot around the 4 minute mark in the writing process, since you spend the first minute or so setting everything up; it gives you so...
2025-08-01 00:10:36 +0000 UTC View PostThis one is a minute longer than the average 3 I typically go for, but I think I'll still be able to get it finished in the same schedule. Wario's mouth is rigged, a number of the compositions are reused, and I tried to spend a lot of time on layouts this time around to be smart and economic abou...
2025-06-20 20:13:07 +0000 UTC View PostDialing up the gags in this one to a considerable degree. Really looking forward to working on and releasing this one.
2025-06-10 17:17:45 +0000 UTC View PostThis is just a new arrangement of the same track from Wario Land II. That soundtrack as a whole has a cartoonishly cinematic quality that lends itself well to being production music for these animations. I plan to use more from this game in the future.
2025-06-10 16:20:39 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a mash-up of 'Vanilla Lake' from Super Mario Kart with 'Seaweed' from SpongeBob. The melody from Vanilla Lake is simplified by removing the harmony, and the rhythm changed to accommodate the style of Seaweed better.
2025-06-10 16:17:16 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a mash-up of 'Donut Plains' from Super Mario Kart and 'Gator' from SpongeBob.
2025-06-10 16:13:48 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a mash-up of 'Wooden Bear' from SpongeBob and 'Escape from the Woods' from Wario Land II.
2025-06-10 16:11:48 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a mash-up of the Luigi's Mansion theme with Grass Skirt Chase from the SpongeBob Music Production Library. This is one I'd like to get professionally recorded.
2025-06-10 15:54:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe Credits Theme for Mario, Luigi, & The Magikoopa. Weeping Willow is an original piece that I wrote when I was a teenager. The Phrygian mode meshed well tonally with the theme I was using for Koopadamus.
2025-06-10 15:26:49 +0000 UTC View PostCredits Theme for Mario, Wario, & The Bear. It's an original piece that is written using many of the conventions of athletic themes throughout the Mario corpus.
2025-06-10 15:08:49 +0000 UTC View PostCredits theme for Luigi & The Little Fish. It's a mash-up of Bob-omb Battlefield with the Mario 3 Grassland Map Theme.
2025-06-10 15:07:15 +0000 UTC View PostThere was a wave of new people after the release of episode 3, and I saw an increase in demand for the music to be available. I'm gonna get all the tracks so far uploaded today for purchase to the free/non-members. If you are a member you can find the music in the discord that's available for dow...
2025-06-10 13:34:04 +0000 UTC View PostThis one was fun to write. Really like how the Koopadamus character turned out, and Shawn did a great job with him in the booth.
I'll post some goodies from this one, and I'll have a script for the 4th one up here soon. The voice lines are recorded too. Episode 5 is halfway written as well...
Figured out my computer problem that led to the delay, so that won't happen again. One fun aspect about pulling these sketches from Aesop's Fables is choosing what Mario character to replace the original with and consequently how that develops their character in this series.
Luigi is slow...
This one will be in EP 3 along with Croco Plains. It's a mash-up of SpongeBob's 'Seaweed' with the Vanilla Lake theme from Super Mario Kart.
The second track is an example of how the melody transforms to a different style while still maintaining it's familiarity.
This is a mash up of Gator (Spongebob) and the Donut Plains theme from Super Mario Kart. I call this a demo, because I'm waiting for a guy on fiverr to get back to me about recording it with a lap guitar. Want it to sound real nice instead of just midi.
2025-05-02 19:20:26 +0000 UTC View PostThis one is very dialogue heavy. It's basically just one conversation. Ep 1 served as a proof of concept, 2 worked to showcase some character dynamics and slapstick, and for this one I want to hone in on comedic dialogue and gags. The upside will be that the animation should be quicker if things ...
2025-05-02 19:17:24 +0000 UTC View PostVoice lines are in for episode 3. I finished the thumb boards last night, and I'm gonna try and clean as many as I can today. My goal is to get the animatic done by Friday night. I'm gonna post (today or tomorrow) all of the music that was made for ep 2 so patrons can download them and the free s...
2025-04-30 15:34:52 +0000 UTC View PostShe's all done. Took a bit longer than I anticipated, but now I have face/mouth packs for Mario, Luigi, and Wario, so any episodes featuring them in the future will have some production time cut out of the schedule.
I got the voice lines for episode 3 yesterday. I'll post the script and a ...
Put this together today. Just needs the music and sound effects. If that can be finished by Friday I may do some comp work on Saturday. I want to release this on the web on Sunday afternoon.
2025-04-24 18:57:20 +0000 UTC View PostHot off the digital presses. Animation will start first thing tomorrow morning!
2025-03-18 02:46:55 +0000 UTC View PostFinally done! Thanks for your patience. I should have scheduled another day for sound editing. Learning a lot along the way, and I think things will go smoother on my end for ep 2.
Really looking forward to making more of these, and thank you all again for your support.
Would any of you be interested in having hand-drawn notecard storyboards as part of a mailable, physical reward? I'm pretty set on drawing the boards on paper, cause of how easy it is to do anywhere, and I find that phase to be easier to do traditionally than digitally. That being said, at the e...
2025-02-24 02:46:52 +0000 UTC View PostThis ended up being around 3 minutes. I want to half that for the next one, cause I think this is gonna be a bit of a crunch to get it done on time, but it definitely can be done. Gonna get started on the rough animations now.
2025-02-18 00:30:28 +0000 UTC View PostVideo #2 for the year. Wanted to make this to give a brief bio about myself, what kind of work I've done, and what people can expect in the immediate future. There's a handful of people out there who have told they that E. Gadd's Garage is something they really look forward to, so I have some inf...
2025-02-14 02:24:31 +0000 UTC View PostI'm putting the finishing touches on this next video. I'm trying to get it done tonight. It's going to function as a channel intro. There's a bit of a personal bio and much more about the plans for the future and a Kingdom Fables pitch.
I'll have an animatic done for episode 1 (Luigi and t...
The piece Tomfoolery from Spongebob meets the Underwater Theme from Super Mario Bros.
2025-02-10 03:54:33 +0000 UTC View PostI've been making some music to build a library to use for future cartoons. If you've ever watched Spongebob you'll notice that they pull the same tunes consistently for certain moments, and not only am I using that model, but I'm even borrowing the arrangements themselves and transforming them by...
2025-02-10 03:51:06 +0000 UTC View PostSome sample animations from the last few years. Last thing I need to do is to record the video segments with myself, do sound effects, and some editing. The whole video is a brief bio, work history, and plans for the channel.
Then we're on to Kingdom Fables Ep. 1
