I stumbled onto a Reddit group that's dedicated to finding & digitizing old broadcasts, such as Cartoon Network, and I'll be damned if I didn't have BOXES of VHS tapes that might just have that! I still need to double check them, but I might be able to help get online some lost broadcasts!
Anyone here have a super in-depth knowledge of FFMPEG? I use it to pipe into x264 and there's a new "feature" that's just killing me right now

And finally, the last video of the alien puppets! I now have only two 'blanks' of the bag puppets left: one white fur, one rainbow. What do I turn them into?

Here's one of the three alien puppets, finished! (eBay links as soon as I get some pictures taken)
@animeigo.com and @discotekmedia.bsky.social brought the goods this weekend. You really can't be disappointed from the announcements we got.
At the MediaOCD store find AnimEigo titles on sale for Otakon! Now until August 2nd find Blu-rays up to 40% off! We even have a movie you can get on disc for $1! mediaocd.com/brand/animei...
Second alien puppet done! I gave this one fangs because why not? Originally was going to be red feathers, but the lilac works so much better with that eye. I'm doing at least one more alien, then I'll probably do something different.
New puppet! I opted to go back to making some aliens, which did pretty well before. You can read a more detailed explanation of the process here: www.facebook.com/kcpuppets/po...

Professional Muppet Style "Tropical Frog" Custom Made Ventriloquist Bag Puppet | eBay
Details on the item are The two hands are made as gloves so you can put your hand into which ever side you wish. PUPPET: Tropical Frog. As I challenged myself with each new creation, testing new techniques and seeing what I could do, I found myself swamped with puppets!

Speaking of the Sentai sale, I loaded up on $5 & under sets (great way to try things out & build the physical collection), but I also grabbed 'Blade of the Immortal' & 'Carole & Tuesday'. I loved the manga of the former, and me & a coworker saw clips of the latter and got ourselves hyped for it.
Anyway... Hey, my Sentai Filmworks order has shipped! That was way faster than they usually take during these sales.
In all seriousness, Trump and Republicans are setting the stage right now to attack our democracy, steal our elections, and violently crush any dissent. Wake up, America.
Maybe not today, but he's going to try and suspend the elections before November.
We'll sell you all the anime you want. We even have generous rewards points for discounts on future orders. No membership fee required to buy. Because that'd be CRazy. mediaocd.com

You can see the photos & my process explained in the Facebook link, but here's a video of the puppet in action. I'll have this on eBay soon.
It's taken me a while to get the videos and pictures done, but I finally did for these past three puppets I made. I'll post the other two later in the week, but first up: the monster angel. This one took some work to get done. www.facebook.com/kcpuppets/po...
Just finished a really nice looking frog puppet. I didn't PLAN on making a frog puppet (my plan was an alien), but something popped in my head and I decided to try it. Pictures & video soon when I can do them proper. Meanwhile, that's three large puppets knocked out in a couple of weeks. On to #4!
Kids need/deserve traumatic films. Films that show death or lasting consequences that aren't resolved almost instantly. Fear, anger, grief and frustration should be part of kids movies. Kids arent stupid, they feel big emotions just like adults, they deserve to see those experiences reflected back.
