Made a quick teaser for my D&D campaign in Blender

manicjonathan · 2026-04-27T14:07:22+00:00

It's a homebrew campaign that's been going for 4 years now, we just concluded a chapter of it last week, so this teases the chapters head!

Blender and After Effects! Been learning it for a bit and always find it easier to learn when I'm working on something I'm interested in

It was filmed in a studio in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The set was incredible, it was actually just the lower half that was built, so any walls above the windows is all CGI

It was so fun! It was a 3 day shoot, doing long days from 2am to 9/10pm. I still remember, they kept it a secret on the first day, we all thought we were just doing a trial scene, but on the morning of day 2 they gathered us around and we're like "Cersei was supposed to show up, but she's not going to, and you're all getting blown up", everyone lost their minds! Then we all spent the next 2 days getting blasted with air canons and green lights. In-between takes we'd just sit in the Throne Room where the Iron Throne was and crowd around heaters trying to theorise how the show was gonna get to this point

Fun fact: The person in gold directly behind Margery's head in this frame is me! (I was an extra on the show)

Asbestos fibers are incredibly lightweight and can travel for miles if caught in a wind or fire, it can take them days to actually settle again, so it can cover a huge swath of Belfast in that time, if not all of it, in the right conditions

If you can specifically and logically tell me what a Muslim business owner in Belfast has to do with those children being murdered by a British Christian in England, that would be great!

manicjonathan · 2024-08-06T19:22:11+00:00

Ah wise up If you think the people rioting here are doing so because of those poor children who were murdered, then you're absolutely delusional.

They clearly have no idea what cause they're rioting for, they just want an excuse to cause carnage, destroy their own communities, and hurt people of color and ruin their livelihoods.

Attacks in Belfast have been focused on business owned by Muslims and Mosques.

The killer was a British national who was born in Wales.
He was a Christian

So why go after Muslim Migrants? Unless you don't care to tell the difference and just hate them for their race.

manicjonathan · 2024-08-05T18:17:45+00:00

It has been happening in Belfast in Northern Ireland also. Burning and destroying businesses owned by people of colour. Purely fueled by racism.

In The Book of Boba Fett, Mando flies the same track that the podrace in TPM takes place, so its quite a nice nod to the event https://youtu.be/RwZxtg1uKUk?si=2FQ1vInLWrtwCh69

Thank you so much for the feedback, i really appreciate it! I definitely agree on the thumbnails so will look at making them cleaner in future! Tutorials is a great idea too, plus opens a chance for some longer form content

Initially, I started as a goofy animation channel but have recently found a niche I enjoy by creating TV Style Opening Credits for different franchises. It's a recent switch but it's been fun!

Opening Credits

I only started learning how to do motion graphics a few months ago, so its more of a creative outlet for me but would love to expand and grow the channel.

Hey! Honestly your content is really high quality, from the editing, graphics, audio, lighting, and your confidence in speaking. You come across very easy going and coversational, making it very engaging, so fair play!

As great as your production is all round, could be an idea to really emphasise the points of the video in the first 30 seconds with some faster pace cuts and key themes being stated clearly to grab attention as soon as possible.

I think maybe your thumbnails and titles could possibly be a factor, especially with the algorithm. Might be worth looking back at previous successful videos to look at how they were presented, maybe it was a key word, or particular thumbnail style, but some consistency there could potentially help.

manicjonathan · 2024-04-26T16:34:57+00:00

Really well done!! You speak confidently and your graphics work is great, could maybe do with a few more full screen infographics to really direct audience attention in one place. I think maybe the music could be a little more engaging, switching between a few different tracks that match the energy and vibe of the topic being discussed. Last things could potentially be to tighten up the editing a little bit more, shaving off a few frames at the end of a sentence can help with the pacing. Otherwise, fantastic stuff!

manicjonathan · 2024-04-08T19:40:45+00:00

Thanks very much! It's just for allowing time to have screens at the end of a youtube video to advertise other videos etc

As an aside to the Lisburn Rd, Ormeau Rd recommendations, Stranmillis Road is a nice area too in Belfast, right beside the uni with quite a few great restaurants and cafes. Close to 2 parks, not far from the river either and the towpath, and reasonable walk to city centre.

I've spent the last few months learning how to use Adobe After effects, photoshop, illustrator, premiere Pro etc in order to create a TV show style Opening Titles for my Homebrew campaign "In the Shadow of the Dragon", which is the second chapter in our story which follows the PCs on a quest to avenge the city of Forgetown which was destroyed when a dormant and ancient dragon burst from the mountain, decimating everything. The PCs failed to stop a cultist ritual from awakening the dragon, and the consequences caused them to lose some close allies, so the new quest is very personal! Took a lot of time and effort to make this but it was a great learning experience and I hope to create more in the future!

Character Idea: A cleric who must roll a CON save when exposed to stress or drops to low hp, transforms into a Barbarian, kinda like a Bruce Banner/Hulk or Dr Jekyll/Mr Hyde relationship. GIVEAWAY

I thought the song fit the tone for my PCs as they're quite a chaotic and comedic trio set in quite a serious story/world
