    Steady Crafter In The Wild!

    April 24, 2023 /

    The other day, we were sitting around thinking about how great of a community our fans are and how wonderful it would be for you guys to be able to meet in person. We wanted to make that a little easier for y’all and took a shot at the “In the Wild” concept. You know….you’re at your favorite hobby store, look over and see someone wearing the SC ITW shirt…or maybe you’re wearing it and someone sees you. That excitement of meeting someone and instantly being able to share common ground with them is such a great feeling! The turtle came from the idea that slow and steady wins the…

    MUSIC PRODUCTION – How I make soundtracks for YouTube videos.

    March 5, 2023 /

    Here is a walkthrough of how I make digital tunes and soundtracks for my YouTube videos. I’m still grasping at the fundamentals of “music theory”, so this is all very basic and involves a lot of trying to rely on my ear… which may not be nearly as refined as yours. 🙂 SOFTWARE TOOLS USED: REAPER: https://www.reaper.fm/ UVI TOY SUITE: https://www.uvi.net/toy-suite.html (This retails for $400, but can be had for a quarter of the price during a good sale.)

    FAILING at making a video about FAILING at making toys. (AKA “Let’s make a phone video.”)

    December 31, 2022 /

    I wanted to end the year by releasing a well-produced video in which I announce the release of the POCKETNAUT figure. This is a little homage to the cheaper plastic toys we would carry around as kids. But I wanted to put a spin on this one: The character can have 15 different facial expressions. (And for future releases, we wanted to do other character and creature heads/faces.)
