NEW Toy Story Live (and the story behind it)

Hey, everyone. Hope things are going well in your life.

A new episode of Toy Story Live is out now. Check it out below.

This episode was actually inspired by an event that happened to me earlier this year, where a parent told me that he wasn't going to allow his kid to watch "Toy Story Live" due to the show's foul language. I admittedly overreacted at first, due to misunderstanding some of his comments, but the parent and I had a good conversation and I completely understood why he didn't want his kid watching the series. As the parent told me, "kids are like sponges; they soak up everything." I did not want to be the reason his kid began swearing.

I then realized that the show's title is a bit misleading, mainly since it has "Toy Story" in the title. I realized that since a majority of the Toy Story franchise's audience is children, my series would attract young kids. Obviously, I can't stop kids from watching my series nor am I going to change the title of it. But, since my show has excessive cursing (and isn't related to the franchise other than the characters), I felt that I should find a way to let kids know that what they're about to watch isn't what they think and contains things unsuitable for them. I then thought about censorship; that making changes to the series for the sake of pleasing parents would ruin it. So I wanted to make sure that I wouldn't censor myself. However, since my Toy Story Live videos are my most popular, I felt I needed to do something. Like I had some kind of responsibility.

So I came up with a simple opening "Warning" disclaimer, that I will include with each future episode of TSL. I'm doing this only for TSL, not Sandguardians or Specter-Morph, mainly because "Toy Story" is in the title. I then imagined how Hamm and Potato Head would react to this: I saw them butting heads, Potato Head being rasher while Hamm tried to act as a mediator. I thought it would be a great topic for an episode. So, here it is.

I'm glad the parent commented on one of the TSL videos. It really made me think to always keep my audience in mind and give them something honest. While I won't censor the series I feel I should find ways to make dialogue funny and engaging without having to swear, which I do a whole fucking lot.

Hope you enjoy the episode! TSL is still going strong.

The Hard, Vague Question

Hey y'all. Hope things are going well.

I've uploaded a new video regarding the difficult question everyone asks themselves: "who am I?" Watch it below.

With this video, I wanted to do something different. My inspiration comes from the fact that I've been constantly trying to give myself some kind of label until I realized that I don't need to. I'm just me. I don't need to label myself by who I am, what I look like, or even what I do. I should just do me to the fullest.

This is just my personal opinion on the topic and not everyone should follow this view. I'm sort of in the stage of finding myself right now and the whole topic of 'trying to find out who you are' really fascinates me. I don't really know who I am yet, but at the same time, I don't really wanna label myself in terms of an occupation or a characteristic. I'm more than that. ...Then again, maybe I'm just thinking too hard.

Another inspiration for this video is the 2015 film Dope, which is now one of my favorite movies. If you wanna know a bit of who I am and what I (sort of) go through, check out that film. The Kendrick Lamar song "i" also serves as an inspiration.

Lastly, if you haven't seen my last few videos, what are you waiting for?!

Something Completely Different

Hello everyone.

I just wanted to talk a little bit about my next video, which will be a short video entitled "Who Are You?". Basically, the video will be about labeling yourself and how sometimes you can feel limited because of it. At least, that's how I feel regarding it.

I find myself labeling myself by my occupation, ethnicity, religion, etc. but I realized I'm just me and I want others to see themselves this way. Everyone is unique and shouldn't use labels to define or identify themselves. I'm still trying to learn that.

So yeah, I hope you guys enjoy my next video. I'm still editing it so it should be out sometime this week.

Thanks for reading :). Later!

Sandguardians Ep.46

Hello everyone.

A new episode of Sandguardians is out now. Check it out!

Sandguardians: Episode 46

It features a CG Pelican, which I KNOW looks pretty bad, but it was pretty cool to utilize it. And no, I didn't model the Pelican myself. I simply downloaded a green screen video of a CG Halo Pelican and did some compsiting to include it in the video. It's an idea I had for this episode that I wanted to do for a while. I filmed an alternative shot that doesn't actually show a Pelican (just in case) but decided to go with this as I know it would shock people (in a good and bad way). Regardless, it was neat to use it.

For my next video, I'm working on something new and experimental. I hope you all like it once you see it.

Have a good one!
