Anniversary Video: First 2 Minutes Preview

Hi! Patreon looks weird now, but I'm just going to ignore that. Let's all pretend they didn't just turn their logo into a pebble for no reason.

I was planning to do a newsletter today, but I am currently grinding to get this video done, so expect that later in the week, probably Saturday. B...

Video Idea Trunk #1

Hi! Mentioned in the last post, I'm currently busy with a small video for Doodley's first-year anniversary on October 7th! The voice over edit is done and the final video will likely be about 4 minutes. I'll be working on that today and tomorrow, and I'm hoping the edit is pretty...

After Hours Supporter Stream #8! (9-22-23)

This will be a shorter one since I have some plans tonight after 6pm!

An important question! (+ remainder of 2023 plans)

Hi! Just a simple post today. I wanted to get your lads input on some things and talk about some plans I have for the rest of the 2023.

Firstly, the most important question here is:

What do YOU want out of the Patreon?

I don't get a whole lot of interaction on...

Supporter Stream #7 is here! (9-15-23)

"Remember When..." Video Post-Mortem + Behind the Scenes

Hi! I was a bit busy today (both life stuff and Doodley stuff) so today's just a bunch of behind the scenes and writing.

I wanted to reflect on the last video a bit and have a think about it. It's mostly just for me, but figured it would also be interesting on your guys' end to see the proc...

Commentary + Behind the Scenes: "The Stop Motion of Henry Selick"

Hello! This was meant to be Wednesday's upload, but the video I finished Friday sidetracked me.

Here's a commentary/behind the scenes on the Selick video. I actually open up the original file and go through it, since this one has a lot of interesting tricks. Thanks as always!

Supporter Stream #6 is here! (9-9-23)

New Video Tomorrow!

Hi!

This is an update for anyone not in the Discord: I wanted to have this video done a bit earlier in the week so it could be on Patreon early, but that didn't end up shaking out. I've been working 24/7 on this thing for the past week, and something came up that prevented me from wrapping ...

September Newsletter + Plush Design Preview and Next Video Screenshots

Hi!

It's been a little over a month since going full-time, and things are looking great. Real quick, I wanted to mention that we hit 100 patrons, which is a super cool milestone! I didn't think I'd get there for years.

I wanted to giv...

"Stop Motion Tie-Downs" Early Upload + A Note

Hi! Sorry for missing Wednesday's upload. I will have something later today, and for good reason:

This is a short I finished in two days. I actually started it because I wanted to see if I could do it in one day, but it ended up being a bit more work than I bargained for. B...

Doodley Lore Part 3: Baby no Diaper

Hi! This is the third in a series of “lore” posts that talk about some of the projects I've done in the past. Behind the scenes for things that aren't Doodley related, basically!

Doodley After Hours Stream: Testing My 3DS Capture Card!

Audio Commentary: Animating Arms

Hi! This is commentary for the first video on the channel, Animating Arms. Somehow it ended up being an hour long for an 11 minute video, but I pause a lot. Hopefully people like that aspect though -- put it on in the background!

I hope to do this for videos as they come out, so whenever th...

Hello everyone! Good news and bad news. (If you watched the last video, you already know some of this.)

Bad news: I got laid off!

Animating Arms Original Animatic/Rough Cut

Hi! I had this floating around, and realized Patreon would be a good place to drop/archive it, now that I've gotten used to their video feature.

This was the original rough cut/animatic of the Animating Arms video, dated 8/8/2022. It probably gives you a good idea of the kind of work I do t...

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR "ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE" (and also spoilers for Spider-Man PS4!)

Hi! After watching the new Spider-Verse, Sproutlines and I wanted to record our thoughts and figured the best place to do that would be for Patreon, so we're doing a little show! We doodl...

Doodley is Half a Year Old!

Hi! I hope your May has been going well. It's time for another gigantic wall of text.

Now that the Patreon has settled down, I'm a lot more comfortable with my work/life balance. My May has been unexpectedly busy/taxing on the life side, so I'm glad I didn'...
