I'm trying to establish a format where each half-hour episode contains two cartoons: One Crapstick Doodle, and one new one. I'm only doing one Crapstick Doodle because I want to cash in on my old work enough to fill a few minutes, but I don't want to get lazy and completely recycle a full half hour of content, because then there'd be no fucking point in making this show in the first place. I want to do two cartoons per episode because I think it breaks up the action nicely. As you've probably figured out by now, I'm doing literally everything alone here because I don't have any friends or willing actors to help out, so 90% of the live action stuff is just me talking to a stationary camera, and 30 straight minutes of that is pretty unbearable to watch. Most people would tell you that 3 straight minutes would be unbearable to watch, but that's neither here nor there.
I wasn't entirely sure if I wanted to go ahead with the Emo Rap Fury idea, but I ultimately went with it because I thought having "Emo" as a Youtube tag would draw viewers to this video like flies to so much warm shit. The whopping 31 views I've accumulated tells me that my blatant buzzword pandering might not have paid off.
The closing part of the video was fun to make. I filmed myself trying to drink beer and talk to nobody, and then I watched the video with a headset microphone on and talked to myself. I like how it turned out because this time it actually sounds like my off-camera voice is actually having a conversation with my on-camera self. This part also marks one of the few times it makes me happy that my girlfriend doesn't watch the show. Normally it hurts my feelings that the person I've been with for 3 and a half years doesn't seem to take any kind of interest in what I do, but this time it's good because she has no idea I spit a mouthful of Foster's on the living room carpet.
