DARK PARKING LOTS AND WET PANTS

     This week in DarkTriforceFilms, Woody returned from Florida. That's right, it's Woody week, so DarkTriforceFilms has been getting as much done as they can during the short amount of time that Woody is in the same state as the rest of us! That includes filming 2 new videos that will be coming out later on this year - and to provide a bit more clarity on that, we have officially decided our 2023 schedule, with a whole graphic to boot! (the graphic is NOT a boot, just to be clear)

     So here it is - 2 videos a month is our goal, one main video, a side video, and possibly a bonus video if we have something extra to put out! Last month saw Time Capsule and The Tymoso DT Life as February's videos, and now as we're going in to March, we've just released our week 1 video, The New Logan! That's right, the video that I've been writing about here since July (yeesh) is finally out now!

     I already talked about the plot of the video in the last report, plus the video is out now on YouTube so go and give it a watch if you haven't already! It's a lot of fun and our first "long" sketch of the year, and I think it feels different than a lot of our other videos, of course attributed to the different writing styles of Charles and Woody who wrote it - but it still has the tone and vibe of the DarkTriforceFilms brand. And now that I can say it without spoiling anything, a big special thanks to Ashley Clemens for starring as the titular "New Logan" in this video! This was the first time we'd worked with her, but she also appeared in the first episode of Bacon (which was uploaded far before this) and she was great!
     Following The New Logan as this month's side video will be Gag Reel #10, featuring bloopers from Narrator, Time Capsule, and of course The New Logan - it's crazy that we're getting into the double digits for Gag Reels now, but this one is a bit shorter than previous Gag Reels since we have 2 short videos starting it off. It'll be live next Friday, March 18th for all your blooper filled needs! And as we all say here at DarkTriforceFilms, "There's plenty more where that came from!" So let's get onto what else is upcoming and what did we work on during Woody Week?

     For Woody week, we had 2 videos lined up to work on - special reveal, the titles of those videos are The Bag and Stick to The Status Quo - these videos will be coming out further down the line, as with our current schedule - we're booked at least until May with videos that will be coming out. The photo above is from Stick to The Status Quo, featuring a gag where we had to make it look like Woody had wet his pants - and Charles with his smart thinking suggested we use a spray bottle! Filming for this video went relatively smoothly, but we had to cut it short due to other plans that were scheduled, so to make sure we got what we needed, we finished up all of Woody's shots in the video and we'll be meeting up again at a later date to finish the rest of the video. Similarly, the other video we filmed, The Bag, had a very similar filming process, we just got together to film 1 scene, although this scene took place outside in an abandoned parking lot, and man was it cold. We were able to get it done, albeit a bit frostbitten, and despite the fact Woody was asleep when we met up to film.

     Alongside the sketches we were filming, we also went out and had some real life experiences that we vlogged a bit for a future DT Life! We went out to a local "escape room" type place named 5Wits and we went through a Tomb themed room and a Space Themed room (but we really only got footage from the Tomb one) and that will most likely be coming out as a side video next month. We might be filming a few more in the coming days/weeks, so DT Life should be sticking around more often on the channel! 

     And so forward we go into 2023, the year is feeling productive and I'm happy to be uploading on a more regular basis now! While the videos from last summer have taken forever to get posted, it's nice to have them as a backlog to make sure we can upload consistently. There's one more video from the summer batch, The Intervention that'll be coming as next month's main video, and then we'll be getting into things filmed more recently. That's about all there is for this edition of the report, so go on your vacations around the world until the Gag Reel comes out! I gotta go warm up after standing in the cold and snow the past few days, so for now, this is Logan, signing off!
