This Christmas, things got a little out of the ordinary for DarkTriforceFilms when Santa paid them a visit.

Logan's Note: A DarkTriforceFilms Christmas was our first real attempt at a full on Christmas special, but when casting and writing the script, I failed to realize just how chaotic the group of people gathered for this video would be. Which I think is obvious in the last scene and especially obvious in the bloopers for this video. I think this is both Austin and Kip's first live action videos, and I think it's easy to tell which gave the whole video a weird kind of self awareness to it. This video feels like a fever dream and I honestly still like it despite it's flaws, if there's one thing I do honestly not like about it, it's the stupid voice over intro that I did - "Ah, Christmas-" man shut up! I did it cause it felt weird starting the video on the shot of Sean and Kip walking down the stairs, but in hindsight, why didn't I just shoot an establishing shot of my house or just of the studio?? I guess I've always been notorious for giving myself more work than I need to do. I consider this the last video of the "classic" DarkTriforceFilms era (although I think people would disagree, but what do they know? It's my channel!) Cause 2017 really feels like it was the start of a new era as we shifted away from gaming content and started uploading more regularly. And I think this video is a nice cap to the classic era, it feels structured in a way that we were going for but keeps the chaotic nature of a lot of our early videos and let's plays that were on the channel at that point. And it serves as a nice official introduction for the intern bit that we still are doing today! So, sit down and celebrate the holidays with us! Merry Christmas! | (sometime in 2020)
