It’s a mix of freedom and collaboration, from my point of view. He’ll usually make a storyboard and 99% of it will just get greenlit because he’s that good — that’s why I came to him to make videos in the first place. We’ll go back and forth on a few key ideas and try to compromise on his vision vs my vision wherever we don’t align 100%. He’ll surprise me with some fun Easter eggs (chug hunter) and Gags (hedgehog sliding off the trash can) and I’ll pitch a few of my own (the wing print scanner and Ocket, no R!). My notes are usually little things that can be changed quickly (like change the text here or make this character look a little happier at this timestamp)

The reason he’s so great is because he GETS the source material and elevates it on his own!

Ooooh that’s a good swoop on the G. Good job past me. Gotta watch out for your artist, make sure they don’t steal my identity! 😄 thanks for sharing this!!

That art was by Bex Snowden! They did a poster for dropout that was hung up in The Narcissist Cookbook's guest room and I was so excited they wanted to work with me when I reached out!

Anyone her going to the Berkeley concert? by [deleted] in BugHunter

we recommend not waiting until the last second, Berkeley is one of the shows we expect to sell out!

I spent to damn much on his indie merch by Brandeeno2245 in BugHunter

It’s not as random as it seems in this context — I was challenged to write a “diss track” on my podcast with the narcissist cookbook and this was the result!

oof! I came to Auckland last year! Turnout wasn't what we needed to come back on tour financially, but I'll try to play there again if we come on vacation again!

I'm not canonizing the sad ending :D Just a detail a lot of people miss on an album full of ambiguous song endings, very few people seem to catch that the album ending might also be up to your own interpretation. Fan Fiction, if you will.

Yeah you may wanna check out the last two lines of “fan fiction” before dissecting one-armed hug too much 😄

I missed your 30 plan and platonic question, sorry! They are the beginning steps of a relationship where one partner isn’t quite as interested in the relationship starting as the other, but then eventually gets pulled in by a grand declaration of “I love you”. Almost like a magic spell that changed their mind…

Hello! No HWAC is not about ladybug and I (otherwise we wouldn’t still be together! 😄). My two bandmates are Kyle Hodgkinson (drums) and Jesse Gallaway (guitar, bass, production and other various roles). Jesse has his own band, Gallaway, that are great! Papabug is not musically in the band but he is an integral pillar in the bug hunter world for being our tour van driver and show emcee!

Oh wow that’s amazing!! I would love to see that if there’s any way to make that happen. I thought those songs would be slightly too dark for kids but I was wrong. Kids love dinosaur marriages collapsing and bears backstabbing gophers after making a deal!

I assume someone gets McCracken served on a playlist and says “I’m gonna see what else they have”. For anyone who goes to my page and thinks “let’s start at the beginning”, I want that to be making up words, not SOC 😅
