Well, the important bits anyway (and with a really unsteady camera--handheld work is not my forte).
Seriously, thank you one and all for making this possible. There's a good deal of work to do before the basement space is ready for filming, so you can bet that many a weekend will be s...

This ended up getting split in two (with a sort-of bonus video to come soon, but that will go live for everyone tomorrow) and is definitely my silliest video yet. And you will very quickly see why.
Captions will take me a little while, and there is a card I need to add later, but otherwise i...
2018-09-27 12:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostGreat news! After some doubts that the deal would fall through, I can presently say that I am now in possession of a completely blank canvas of a space, and am working on getting the new space ready for moving the set to. I don't want to tell you too much about it yet--there's much work ...

I've been working on some significant behind-the-scenes stuff lately (which inadvertently caused the injury to my right hand you might spot). While it's all good and for the channel, it's definitely in the farther-future category. I've fallen behind with the next CD video, so I threw thi...

First of all, that ^^ is the auto-generated thumbnail and it's perfect. I love it.
This video will be a supplement to the upcoming video, so it sort of contains mild spoilers (but about very small things). Mostly this is just a discussion about some strange differences between two...
Wow. Wow wow wow wow wow. (and flutter!)
So I couldn't just not do anything after having reached the biggest goal I had set! Thank you to everyone who has helped get this channel to where it is! This video is more thanks as well as some musing about the future. It's v...

Well, here it be! Delayed one day due to a lack of motivation yesterday, but now it's up. It's still processing so as of this writing it's a little blurry.
Captions are coming soon. This time I added a card straight away because, well you'll see.
2018-09-05 07:52:09 +0000 UTC View PostI backed myself into a corner here, I'm afraid. Things in this edit are far more tedious than usual. Don't you just hate it when you envision a thing as simple, but then when you go to do it you want to bash your head in?
I had hoped to have this video completed last night, as my next ...

Up real late to post this, so the busywork portion will have to wait.
Let me know what you think of the end. The song, "Floaters" has been used many times by me because it's what I would describe as aggressively smooth, and a little hilarious. It's been my unofficial theme song so I'm ...

I'm currently shooting B-Roll, so I have both my desktop and laptop casting to the displays, and I forgot I had Premiere up so this happened.
2018-08-24 20:15:10 +0000 UTC View PostIn my last behind the scenes video, I had forgotten to turn off monetization at first. For stuff that only Patrons can see, I try to turn off ads since there's no reason to keep them on there.
That said, when I upload a video for general consumption (that sounds weird but it will have to do)...

Taking a brief interruption from digital sound to bring you this. From a Twitter poll, apparently more than half of "people" don't know what these do and why they're important. I've always found them to be really neat, so I figured a video on them might be a good idea.
Pretty soon I'm ...

Making something like this has been long overdue. Hopefully you find it enjoyable--fair warning, it's on the longer side!

Thanks for your patience these last weeks as I worked through some deadlines. Enjoy the continuation of the Digital Sound subject! Please tell me if there's something I explained weirdly. I think I've contextualized this all now but ya never know...

2018-08-09 03:16:00 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
Although I sort of alluded to this with my last video post, I wanted to just put this here so that you're in the loop.
Due to some non-YouTube projects I have coming due, I'll be going on a social media hiatus for the next week. I need to promise myself that I'll actual...

Remember how I started this channel and never finished the story arc of sound reproduction? Time to fix that.
As a note of future concern: you may have noticed that my upload "schedule" has been very, um, unschedule-like. My target has been three videos a month at least, and with this ...

No, this isn't about my planned video on Air Conditioning, though the purchase here will be a very helpful aid for when it comes time to make that one!
This is just a video about a thing that you helped buy which has solved a big problem of mine, and which I think should be a more widely-produced ...

This video came together well EXCEPT for the audio, which really wasn't great. Boo. That's why I am continuing to to experiments on sound equipment. But for now, I hope you enjoy this!
I'm going to be pretty bust most of today, so a better thumbnail and all that jazz is on the wa...

A little something came in the mail, and I have YOU to thank for it. Without the support of amazing people like yourself, I am certain this would never have arrived on my doorstep.
I'm working on a video right now inspired by a Twitter conversation, and I hope to have it up by tomorrow after...

This was one of the most fun videos I've made. You'll probably notice a new toy in use throughout for B-roll. And I spent a lot of time keyframing for some animations that I hope help illustrate what's so clever/weird/ingenious about Betamovie.

This was hashed out quickly, so it's mostly a talking head. That said, I think it's important.
2018-06-28 00:19:32 +0000 UTC View PostSo, Jason of Engineering Explained released a video today about EVs and the future of transportation, and he made a point about charging infrastructure that is commonly made but is fundamentally false. So I'm going to be hashing out a quick video to address this. I will post it here when...

Well, I might as well have made something out of the trip to CA! I'm not sure how widely known this fact is outside of Disney enthusiasts. I'm hoping you find it fascinating!

I made a quick thing for the second channel. This is really just a ramble about autofocus and nighttime, as well as a little bit of trivia regarding Chicago airports.

There was a lot more to unpack from this topic than I realized, and it actually changed my mind regarding the use of LEDs in roadway lights. I had originally thought that sodium lighting was good enough, but after reading the research and re-evaluating the areas near me that had been switched ...
2018-06-18 14:21:22 +0000 UTC View PostSo, if you aren't a Twitter person, you may not know that I just got back from a short jaunt to California. My mom and I flew out in a moment of serendipity as we were able to meet my brother for a couple of days. Anyway, as nice as that trip was, it really threw off my groove! Esp...

Well now, here it is! I have a fondness for this sort of lighting, mostly because of its method of operation which is nuanced and fascinating. This video explores it a little bit, and in my next video we'll look at why they are being replaced, and how this is both good and bad. To ...
2018-06-03 19:51:37 +0000 UTC View PostI've decided to make a change to the reward tiers and give everyone early access to my videos.

The audio is really bad in this video. I used my old phone for this which has a better video camera but apparently the sound is messed up.
This video will stay for Patrons only and it's very possible I'll never make a video with this machine, but this is a Pioneer LD-W1, a very unique Laserd...

I hadn't planned on making this video so soon or so quickly, but we got quite the heatwave recently in Chicago (and we're still in it for another day), and it worked out that I could bring the Bolt back with me to make this video. This will stay unlisted until the following video is up, and th...
