TimePop & Friends Vol. 2 Artwork

• Art

Filling in the missing instalment in the list of arbitrarily-divided volumes of my series of live-action shorts: an art piece representing these videos.

For each volume’s respective art piece, I wanted to try a different art style. This piece represents each video with a selected item or piece of iconography from the video. Obviously, it’s much simpler than the other art pieces. I only spent an hour on this one, but I’d been thinking of using this style for a while. It’s a challenge coming up with different ways of making a poster that represents a bunch of videos without using floating heads, especially of the same few people playing all the characters.

(June 19 update) I changed my mind and made another poster but using images from the videos.

Audio Adventures

• Art, Videos

This week, I launched a new 8-episode podcast series of improvised comedy adventures.

This is my third attempt at a podcast after the Time Podcast hosted by the TimePop Cast (2017) and SHADA’P (2023); Both incredibly short-lived, each only having a one episode run.

All episodes of the podcast were recorded as part of a 3-hour recording session. Nothing was written down beforehand, and it’s one of my favourite things I’ve ever made. I love making improvised videos, though I don’t get many opportunities to make them with other people, and doing improv alone is really difficult and never as funny. The audio medium allowed us to run free without the limitations of live action and the huge work required of animation. There are also jokes that only work in an audio medium that I was so pleased to find.
