50 Ways to Die in Create+

April 2024 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

I’m still working on 50 Ways to Die in Create+. As I write this, I’ve reached the point where I look for music to use for the montage and so far, it hasn’t been going too well. For the Create+ video, I want to find music that incorporates construction or assembly line sound effects like the Breakfast Machine track from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure or ...

50 Ways to Die in RL Craft

March 2024 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

Production on the next two 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft videos is still underway. The first one is going to be based on RL Craft, and the second is going to be based on the Create+ modpack. In previous production updates, I mentioned a new element that I’m planning to add to my 50 Ways videos, which is a new Master of Ceremonies type character who recit...

February 2024 Production Udate

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

Production on the next two 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft videos, one about RL Craft and one about Create+, is still underway. I’m planning to release them to the public in early June this year, although anyone reading this will get to see them early if I finish them before that.

Last month, I said that I was done making clips for both videos and would begin w...

January 2024 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

I’m still working on the two 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft videos that I’m planning to release next June. One of them is about RL Craft, and the other is about the Create+ modpack. At the beginning of December, I still had a few more Create+ clips left to record and edit. Now they’re done, so next I would normally start working on the final edits of both videos...

December 2023 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

Right now, I’m working on two more 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft videos that should go live in June 2024. One is about RL Craft, and the other one is about the Create+ modpack. I’ve finished enough clips to make the final edit of the RL Craft video, but I’m still working on the clips for the Create+ video. A month ago, I said that I was still in the preproducti...

November 2023 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

I’m currently working on a pair of 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft videos that I plan to release to the public in early June next year, although you patrons will get to see them whenever they’re finished. One is going to be about RL Craft, and one is going to be about Create+.  I’m currently working on the clips that I’m going to use to make the final edit...

October 2023 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

As you probably already know, I’m currently working on two 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft videos, (one about RL Craft and one about Create+). I was originally planning on getting them both done so that I could release them in late November/early December this year, but that doesn’t seem likely any more. Last month, despite being behind schedule by only 3 clips (on...

September 2023 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

Right now, I’m working on 50 Ways to Die in RL Craft and 50 Ways to Die in Create+, both of which I hope to release in December this year. In order to be ready by then, I’m planning to have all the clips I need for both videos done by October, so I made a schedule that I’m trying to stick to. The good news is that I’ve now finished enough clips to make the ...

August 2023 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

I’m currently working on 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft Parts 17 and 18, which are going to be themed on the RL Craft and Create+ modpacks respectively. Last month, I said that I was in the brainstorming part of the process and was hoping to have come up with enough good clip ideas before August. Just this morning, I tallied up my good-enough ideas and discovered th...

July 2023 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

Now that Part 16 is done, I’m working on Parts 17 and 18. I hope to finish them both before December this year, but my track record of getting videos done when I plan to hasn’t been great lately, so it’s very possible that they won’t both be done by then. However, based on how badly the releases of parts 14, 15, and 16 went, I’ve decided that I need to re...

June 2023 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

If you’re able to read this, then you probably already know that 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft Part 16 is done. It should be accessible just below this post, in fact. It’s going public on June 10th and the trailer for it is going up on June 3rd. In the meantime, I’m going to be working on shorts, small videos, polls, and posts to put up around the time of Part ...

50 Ways to Die in Minecraft - Part 16

May 2023 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

I’m currently working toward releasing 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft Part 16 in June. I recently finished Part 16, though I haven’t rendered it or uploaded it yet. Everyone else will see it when I publish it about a month from now, but you Patrons get to see it as soon as I can get it to my channel. It should be up sometime in the next few days. It probably won�...

April 2023 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

Last month, I said that I was working on making clips for Part 16. About a week ago, I had enough of them to begin work on the main edit, so working on the main edit is what I’ve been doing since then. I’ve already decided which of the clips I’m going to use and I’m currently in the ordering stage.

Which means that, for me, April is going to start wit...

March 2023 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

Last month, I said I was still brainstorming ideas for parts 16 and 17, and so I spent the first half of February brainstorming more ideas. My original intention was to keep brainstorming until I had enough clip ideas to make two 50 Ways videos. Once I had those, I could make a production plan for releasing part 16 and 17 in June. However, the results of my brainst...

February 2023 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

I started January with finishing my move into the new house. After that, I started working on part 16 and 17. The first thing I always do when starting a new 50 ways video is to come up with enough ideas for the clips so I can make a plan to stick to during production. The good news on that front is that, when starting to brainstorm ideas for part 16, I already had...

Ad Free 50 Ways Videos for Patrons

Here's a playlist of ad-free versions of all my 50 Ways videos. I've been meaning to make this for a while, but for some reason I never got around to it until now. 

The 500 Ways to Die video has parts 1-10, the Christmas Special, and the Fairy Tale spin-off in it, so everything should be there.

January 2023 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

I spent most of December finishing up Part 15 and making shorts and smaller videos to release alongside it. I spent the rest of December moving to a new house, which I am still doing now. And once I’m done doing that and also probably fixing some things in the new house, I’m going to start brainstorming ideas for part 16 and 17. I’m going to try releasing two...

December 2022 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

I’m working on 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft Part 15 and I’m planning to release it on December 10th. The main part of the video is done, but it still needs an intro and credits. Beyond the video itself, there’s also the thumbnail and trailer, and I also hope to make a week’s worth of YouTube Shorts, posts, and smaller videos to catch and hold the YouTube alg...

November 2022 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

I’m still working on 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft Part 15 and it looks like it’s still on schedule for an early December release this year. Last month, I said that I needed 25 more finished clips before I was ready to make the final edit. I also said that I only had 12 more clip ideas ready to make because it seemed that I had forgotten to brainstorm more ideas ...

October 2022 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

I’ve been working on 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft Part 15 since January this year. If this is the first production update you’ve read and you’re wondering why I haven’t finished it by now, it’s because I got way too ambitious with just one of the death clips (the “Big Clip”), which took me 6 months to finish. This year, every production update before t...

September 2022 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

I’m currently still working on 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft Part 15, as I have been since January. Progress has been extremely slow so far because I decided to start with the hardest part of the video (the “Big Clip”) first to get it out of the way. When I first started working on the Big Clip, I expected it to take me about a month or a month and a half to an...

August 2022 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

I’ve been working on 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft Part 15 since January. I decided to start with the most ambitious part of the video (which I’ve been referring to as the “Big Clip”) first because imagining how much time it was going to take was scary and I wanted to get it over and done with as quickly as possible. But “as quickly as possible” doesn’t...

July 2022 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

In case this is the first of my production updates you’ve read this year, I’m currently working on 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft Part 15. To make the video, I need at least 50 clips (I usually aim for 60 so I have some wiggle room) of Minecraft players dying in funny ways. For part 15, I decided to start by producing the most time-consuming clip (the “Big Clip�...

June 2022 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

I’m still working on Part 15, which I hope to release in November this year. My progress has been slow because of a REALLY big clip (which I will from here on out refer to as the Big Clip) which has been taking much longer to finish than I expected it to take. In April, I managed to produce about 1000 frames of the Big Clip, bringing the total number of completed...

May 2022 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

In case you haven’t been following these production updates so far, I’m currently working on 50 Ways to Die in Minecraft Part 15. I was originally planning to release it in June, but one of the clips (from here on referred to as the Big Clip) is taking a REALLY long time to produce, so now I’m aiming to release it in November or December this year. Last month...

April 2022 Production Update

***********************************************************************************

***********************************************************************************

Last month, I said I was just beginning production on a really big clip for Part 15 and that it might take the entire month of March to finish it. Now, April is almost here and by my estimation, I’ve only finished about two-fifths of it. I’m not even half way done. Once again, I’ve vastly under-estimated the time commitment necessary to produce a few minutes ...
