LOGAN GONSALVES' CHRIS FARREN'S DISNEY'S FROZEN (FT. THE KID KUNG FU) - 2023

This was another one of those one sitting covers, this time I picked Chris Farren's Disney's Frozen simply because I thought it would be funny to add my name to the front of it and make the title even longer. I even learned to play the bass part for this cover! I wanted to do more percussion stuff with it too, but still like 2 years later didn't really know how to record any instruments. So you got a poorly done shaker made with my jar of guitar picks instead. This was supposed to be put on my instagram like the rest of them at first, but for some reason I was feeling self conscious about it AGAIN so I was like OH maybe it could be put on mellohyelloh! But THEN mellohyelloh kind of stumbled into becoming a Halo machinima channel and I was like oh what do I do with this now??? NOWADAYS I would've just put it on DarkTriforceFilms which is what I SHOULD'VE done in the first place, but I ended up just tweeting it randomly into the void of a Christmas like 2 years after I made it. I COULD put it on DarkTriforceFilms now but I'd have to wait for next Christmas and I'd just forget again by then!

OG NARRATOR - 2022

Now that Narrator has officially come out, I can post the version that ALMOST came out here! This was filmed early in the year - sometime between February-April I think? We really wanted to just get the ball rolling on videos for 2022, so we kind of rushed this one out because the script had been sitting in wait since I wrote it in 2019. Due to the weather conditions, we ended up changing the location the video took place in (the new version keeps the original location) and had to change some of the lines to fit that accordingly. I edited all of the video and then decided that it wasn't what I wanted and ultimately scrapped it. It just didn't match what was in my head and due to our rush to get out of the cold weather, just felt a bit like it was missing something. I'm much happier with the current version!

WOODY DIED - 2022

A very recent addition to the website extras, Woody Died was a completely improv'd video that was supposed to be a "sequel" to That's Weird, which is probably pretty obvious upon watching. It was a very last minute thing, since Woody wanted a new video to submit to some PBS video contest (I'm sure this would've fit very well on PBS). With just the idea of using the same sitcom structure that was eventually applied to That's Weird, the only real idea we had was the two words "Woody Died". We spent about 3 hours of our very limited time going back and forth on what we would actually end up doing, and this video was the outcome of all of that. To quote Mr. Woody Hamilton "This is the worst video we've ever made." - Although despite that, the shots in this actually look really nice most of the time, that shot of Charles as the letterbox in is so cool. It was going to be uploaded, but ultimately I decided it'd just be better here.

DARK DAYS ONE SITTING COVER - 2021

I've been playing guitar since about 2020, and I LOVE to learn how to play the songs I listen to. I had done one of these one sitting covers before, where I poorly played The Trash The Trash The Trash by Jeff Rosenstock, and was really feeling like doing that sort of thing again. I decided on Dark Days by PUP, which I had only recently started listening to. It ended up coming out pretty good! It's all acoustic because at the time I had NO IDEA how to record guitars or get drum loops going. I completely BIFFED the main riff of the song, probably because I had only heard the song a handful of times before attempting this. I just was recording all my attempts off OBS and my webcam because that was the easiest and fastest way to do it.
I posted it to my instagram, but was too self conscious to post it on YouTube. So now it's here!

THE CUP VIDEO - 2021

Back in the summer of 2020, Woody wanted to film a video testing the legitimacy of a package of "shatterproof" cups. After a few weeks of not knowing how to approach it, I (Logan) asked if I could edit it. What started as an idea just to put the song "My Own Worst Enemy" in the video spiraled into months and months of editing for the final product that you now see before you. Edited all without Woody knowing what was happening, it all lead to the song getting the video blocked on YouTube. :(. So Woody put it up on Vimeo and now it is up on our website as well!

BEDPIT SEASON 1 CREDITS - 2020

Bedpit was our big Minecraft stream series, that caught perfectly our 2019-2021ish Minecraft phase. We had originally started playing in this world on a whim to show Cameron how to play Minecraft - but then it quickly spiraled into something much bigger. We got a realm for the first time, Woody moved all our beds into a pit, and then we set off on a journey to beat The Ender Dragon for the first time. We got to our finale, the day we were all ready to finally face the boss and decided that after we did it we would start a new world. To honor that and our journey thus far, I edited this credit sequence together to play at the end of the stream. I forgot to mute mics during the stream OOPS! and then never put the clean credits video up anywhere. So here they are!

LOGAN INVITES PEOPLE TO A FILM FESTIVAL - 2018

There was a yearly film festival at our high school, and our teacher gave us invitations to hand out to spread the word about the film festival. Jokingly, I said I would film every person that I gave it to, and then I decided to actually do that! So this video is just that whole process, I think I edited it in like one day (two if you count me adding subtitles) and gave it to our teacher. He loved it and I think it ended up being played on our announcements. Never uploaded it or anything cause it was a very school specific video, but I figure I'll put it here because I think the comedic timing and everyone's reactions in it are funny and it makes me happy to watch. Like a small little time capsule of our senior year, but not LVOE, that's different. I swear.

FOUNDERS MOST LIKELY TO - 2017

While Robert was visiting at the end of 2017, we kinda just decided to film a Most Likely To video, despite the fact it hadn't been relevant for years even before we filmed it!
I never uploaded/edited it because it's very last minute thrown together, the camera kept shutting off and cutting off clips, and the card kept getting full - which probably lead to the fact that we never filmed an actual ending/outro to the video, so it just kinda ends. It was fun to film though! I threw together what I thought were the most entertaining ones to put here, it's funny some of the things we say looking back at it now. I put Tom's Dog as background music for nostalgia, and I also color corrected it because the colors were annoying me! If I had edited this in 2017, it probably would've looked something like this, just longer and with a different font.

DT LIFE | WOODY VS CHARLES - 2017

I don't exactly know how to  explain this video, it's very weird and just a kind of spur of the moment recorded thing, but I wanted to put the footage up here so everyone could see it.
This was the day we filmed Ceiling Present and our cover of We Wish You a Merry Christmas, I think this started because Charles got Woody with the made you look thing where you get to punch whoever you fooled with it, and then it some how escalated to Charles running outside and Woody chasing him with an emoji mask on, and the rest of us getting dragged along. 
It's got those ol' jolly Christmas vibes to it! This is barely edited, I pulled it into premiere before putting it here just to cut out some parts that were just walking with no talking.

FIRST DAY - 2017

Here's a video that never ended up getting uploaded cause I didn't like it! It was filmed in 2017 around the time of Agony based on the endcard and my broken hand. So probably like mid May or early June.
I think I must've ended up not uploading it because it has some quality problems/technical issues - watching it now it has like a weird pixelated effect on it and seems somewhat blurry, which I think might've been due to the editing program I was using cause it's kinda in all our 2017 videos. The mic is also very quiet/covered at some points. Watching it back in 2020, it's surprisingly well put together and easy to follow considering that it was all improv like many of our early 2017 videos, and the crew was literally only Charles and I. I think it's kinda abrupt, almost like it's half of a bigger video, but it has some ok jokes and I think we could've probably fleshed it out into a better video if we weren't trying to meet that weekly video threshold!

HALLOWEEN OPENING - 2016

In 2016, we tried to film a Halloween special called A DarkTriforceFilms Halloween - creative title, I know.
To make a short story short, I was supposed to write a script for the video but never got the time, so we tried to improv the video (which seems to be a common trend with our scrapped stuff) and I didn't think that it was funny or easy to understand. I've lost most of the footage aside from some pictures we took that day, but I found this intro I edited for it, I had to edit it in some different editing program than Windows Movie Maker because I couldn't get the text to move the way I wanted to when the title appears at the end. Yes, I was still using Windows Movie Maker at this point. I can not for the life of me remember the plot of this video, I don't know why John is mentioned at the beginning, because the video only people there that night were myself, Carlota, Woody, Alyssa, and Anova. Well, enjoy this cryptic Halloween intro - who knows if anything will ever come of it.

DTRPG EPISODE 10 FIRST DRAFT - 2016

This one is kinda only being put here for me, this is the original go at starting Season 3 of DTRPG, before the one that's up on the channel now, and before the reboot (if I ever get around to it).
I think you can kinda see what ideas I kept from this, it's pretty similar to the Season 3 that actually ended up starting. To be totally honest, I don't remember what exactly made me change my mind on this version, I remember I did upload it and then deleted it after a little bit. I think it felt very bare bones and boring, and wasn't that good as a season premiere. 
I also ended up changing some character designs, like the one I used for my character, and of course I made the decision to get the show fully voiced which the new versions of Season 3 ended up being. Who knows what I was feeling with this version of Season 3, let's see how it compares when the reboot gets there. (haha)

DT LIFE | CAMERON'S LAMENT - 2015

Early on in DT Life's run, I had like a running gag where every now and then there'd be a video named "______'s Lament" which was just a normal video I had of someone in DarkTriforceFilms that would go black and white with sad music playing as the punchline. I think on the channel there's Woody, Sean, and Robert's Lament, so I guess at some point I had made one for Cameron, using an outtake from Cable. I'm assuming this was around 2015, maybe early 2016? I think I ended up not uploading it because the joke had gotten old and it didn't really make sense with this clip. There's also one using the video of us dressed as Charlie Brown for Halloween, I was going to upload it with this one, but it has no audio for some reason.  (2025 Update: the only lament video left public on the channel is Woody's OOPS! THE REST WERE BAD!)
