Hey folks! Working on the Flat Earth vid (I'm working on this and Death Note at kind of the same time, hopefully I get one or both done during the rest of this month!) and I couldn't decide between two prop masks I was thinking of using, so I thought I'd get you to do my art direction for me lol

Leave a comment letting me know what you think!

Also attached is the example of how awful my lighting and colour balance was before I fixed it in post. Lol I just put the camera down and hoped for the best making this

[BONUS] Help me choose a prop!

Comments

Erin Rumsey

The first one gives me Eyes Wide Shut vibes. I’m not sure how I feel about that, but I’ll go ahead and give that one my vote.

Goint

"Just a normal amount." Sure Harris. (As fore votes: my roommate says the first one and while I like the ridiculousness of the second I'm inclined to agree that the first one will probably be better).

Dom Guilfoyle

First one is definitely sexier. Oh, also, probably better for the video, that too.

Dammit Joe

mask a definitely looks like something from a sex cult, but my votes on that one

Komisarz

The omega supreme butterfly mask comrade

serenfire

the second one. go big or go home!

Marius T

The first one

Matrim

The first one for yours. But you should do the second one for the Philosophy Tube spot

James

Number one is cleaner I reckon

RedRosa

Go big or go home Harris, I'll vote for number 2.

Saru

The first one gives me a mix between wolverine and sex dungeon vibes, so I guess I have to vote for that.

Karin Hammarsten

I think the second one is funny, but it might be distracting to throw butterflies in with the flat earth and a crocodile god? I think the first one would distract from the general concept of the joke less. You should probably go with that one.

bodoinmotion

The second one, it has more... Character? Sure

Lily

My vote is for the first one. While the second one is more over the top, I feel like the second one gives more of an eerie vibe. So yeah. First one.

AnUnusualVisitor

I personally think the first on looked a bit better in its simplicity, but when I was looking at a blurry, smaller image of the second one, it momentarily looked like the kind of helmet you'd see in a Dark Souls game and Bloodborne? Both of which would probably include a cult that worshipped a giant crocodile demon boss. So based on what little information I've been given, I would make the second one look more helmet-like then use that. (If you have that kind of time.)

Tobbun

#1: all praise sobek #2: over the top and perfect for a cameo

pompomprisoner

please do the second its so flat earther

Naomi Hatchman

The first one seems more appropriate as a cult mask but the second one is hilarious. So are you going for "cult appropriate" or "hilarious"? Hey, what if you cut some bits of the second one? That would look weird.

Dean Madden

I feel like they both have kind of a sex cult vibe which, I guess, works with Sobek. The first one feels more focused, someone who is serious about their cult duties. The second one seems like someone who's really just there for the pageantry.

Findlay Bewicke-Copley

You already know you're going to use the second mask and you just want us to validate your decision. Which I totally will do, use the second one!

Kenny Green

wear both at the same time. glue 'em together and wear the combined monstrosity.

Mickey Looney

First one, I like how weirdly vague it is

Sebastian Nair

The first mask feels very cultish, but the second one has a really funny persona-nyarlathotep vibe

Sam Vance

mask 1 is the better mask for sure, but if you're going for intentionally and obviously ridiculous and wrong (like flat earthers) then definitely mask 2

Azazael

The second one can lead into a really funny joke about how you didn't know what animal the theme was so you went to the dollar store/pound world and picked a random mask

Blake McCurdy

Mask number one, less inside jokey, more timeless.

Cinabeeeeee

I agree with Sam - #2 is more over the top so would make a better punchline if that is what you are going for. But #1 is the better looking mask aesthetically

Ave O.

I like the #2, njust because of how ridiculous it is.

PicksleyDust

I feel like mask 2 is just extra enough for your comedy stylings.

Jessica Evans

ALL HAIL LORD SOBEK! (I like mask 1 best!)

DalmatianPrincess

Mask one joined the cult because it believed in what they had to say. Mask two joined for fuckery and free drinks, it only makes it better that it’s hideous to look at and doesn’t quite fit your face as well. I say mask two.

Allie

#2 sir

Relly

Mask numbah one is neat.

Lin

#1! Vague and even a bit intimidating if you don't know it's a butterfly.

Yvonne  ̴ ̮͠ ̴

If the cult thing is a running joke and not just a one-off thing, maybe both? If there's a progression, like you're getting deeper into the cult as the video goes on, the mask could change to reflect that. Or maybe the cult has like senior cultists who get to wear the bigger masks, if there are multiple characters. OR, as the video goes on and you gradually open up to the pure and undeniable truth of the flat earth... so does your mask. Idk, maybe this is just silly.

Riebeck

cut them in half and glue them together to have half phanton and half butterfly

Vessue

Going to go for mask one

Jenny Messer

I find the first mask somewhat reminiscent of a vulva so I'm gonna have to go for that one. (don't ask me why, I wish I knew)

Anakinfrywalker

I think I like the first one better in general, but the idea of a cult to a crocodile god having a mask of a completely different animal is pretty funny

Clianthe

the second one is funnier because it’s so outlandish

Jennifer Walton

#1 looks better, but #2 is more absurd so could also work

Red Rex

The first mask looks more cultish. The second mask looks like you’re about to cosplay as the Monarch from the Venture Bros.

The M.E.S.H Network

Without knowing the full context, the first one seems more appropriate, but if youre aiming for straight comedy, then the second one

Joey Franc

Yeah the first one carries much more weight than the second.

Wylie Greer

I would say go for the first one.

Kathrine Iversen

the first one seems more threatening, but the second one is funnier. so I guess it really depends on context. also, that's a real nice desk you've got there

Merlin

I think the first one is more creepy and might fit better but the second one... is so stupid i would go for that one for sure

Gustav Gaardbo

You should use the butterfly one and come up with some stupid pun for it - something something, “butterfly effect”, something something, “spans around the globe”

Hiro!

First mask, in my opinion!

Rebel.co

I feel like the frist one is better. However the other one is pretty funny and pretty.

Sindre Opsahl Skaare

That second one is such rubbish and I love it, please use that one.

George Rappa

I’d say the first one works better

MyFineAsymptote

If the joke is brief and stupid then obviously you gotta go big or go home. Second one!

Ruben Rydell-Sandgren

The second one is hilariously over the top, and therefore the only choice.

Allen Smith

The second one for sure, the more ridiculous the better.

Jake Erickson

#2 works better, i don't think that you can really parody flat earthers with anything minimalist, you have to go as big as their imagination is to show them that you mean business

M Wade

The first one looks really good and culty but the second one is really funny so I'd choose that one. Also I wouldn't worry about imminent death too much cause in my first year of uni in chemistry I straight up HUFFED a vial of bromine accidentally (ow, and also probs for the best I'm now an archaeology major) but now I'm totally fine. No permanent lung damage. I'm sure you'll be just fine

sychaeus

the second one looks like if you were in a butterfly worshipping cult, you'd at least be getting some of the profit. go with that one.

Hyperbolic_Mess

I think that most mask is best mask so it's got too be the second one

Greg S.

The first

Andy

the second one omg

Emma

Second!

Grillustration

First one. I think it gives more off a vibe of "creepy mask" while the second one instantly makes me go "oh butterfly"

Penny Gotch

First one, I say. Also nice dressing gown.

ruru

1st one! Or both lol

willow H

2nd, no contest

Abbey

The first one!

Brandon Earnest

Irony is always a person's best friend so the second one is the best one !

CS Drennan

I like the first one, it looks more likely to be on a crowd of faces than the second one.

Reicha7

Has to be the second one.

Duncan Parker Newton-Gaines

The first one looks good if you are planning to be just generic cult member 37, whereas the 2nd one looks better if you plan to be the cult leader.

Duncan Parker Newton-Gaines

Also, as someone who plays a ton of miniatures games, I've never worn a mask while spray painting. That might explain a lot about how I've turned out at this point in my life.

Tristan

Second for sure

Sol

Second one by an absolute mile

Charlie Harris

The 1st is more culty, the second looks like you should be a prop in a Contra video. And I also enjoy the smell of paint just a tad less than the smell of vehicle exhaust fumes. Ah, sweet pollution.

HognoseSnake

I like the second one better- it looks WAY more out of place

Raboute

The first one looks creepy, I like it and would choose that one.

minohoonoo

oh definitely the second one

Mike McGovern

The second mask easily. As Jim Steinman said, if you don't go over the top, you'll never see the other side!

Subspace Jet Witch

Use both, wear the smaller one first, and then the second one as a means of humoristic escalation

Starboi

The first one!

Killed by Kelsey

Voting for mask #2. It’s more ridiculous and silly, and considering it’s a video about flat earthers.

William Heathcote

My vote is for the first, but the second one might end up being funnier, knowing you.

Emilia

my vote goes for the second mask!

The Shareholders

Mask #2 Makes you look like you have the most extreme bone structure. It gets my vote

blahmoomoo

Definitely the second. The first is more of a regular masquerade mask.

Casey Connor

I vote for the first one just because #2 gets a little visually messy with your usual floral background.

Azzandra / Andy Zev

First one is too classy, more like something you wear to a cult orgy. Go with the second one.

Phaos

Go with the second, Hail Sobek.

Alex Scranton

#2, definitely, it brings out those beautiful eyes

Andrew H

I vote mask #1

ThatKat

Mask 1 is more austere and a bit spooky

Brice Pullan

If the bit is played dark and real go for #1, if it's supposed to come off really goofy go with #2.

Joshthecellist

omg the 2nd one tho. it is a bit much. but the perfect amount of the fucking most.

Ken High

A BIT MUCH A BIT MUCH A BIT MUCH (so yeah, I'm a fan of mask #2)

The Doom Merchant

#2, being extremely Extra™, seems the best choice; especially if you never bring attention to its extraness in the video itself.

Timon Pike

Mask #2 would be perfect with some green gems or something in the holes...still vote #2 as is though.

george mac.

Mask #2 is so much and I think it's necessary. #2 gets 2 thumbs up from me!

TalysAlankil

Much as I adore the silliness of mask #2, my vote goes to #1.

Linda Dot Zone

Mask 1 makes you look like a porn parody strong bad so that's where my vote is going

Useless Himbo

I love the second mask so much, but the first one would probably fit better. Please make sure you use the second mask in something else though, it's beautiful!

Ewelina Raczyńska

#1 is #1 just looks like edgy slimeman man please wear it. and jesus christ i hate the second one so much. it's got these exposed blocky stiffy thingies and they clash so much with a butterfly concept in a bad way pls ignore all the votes for it and just give it to a kindergardener or something.

Nye

#1

Robin Burgess

I like #1 better. Also, I was not very amused watching you eat blue, just alarmed. I am always a bit distressed seeing you shovel down stuff that looks outright toxic. I wish you did more healthy and wholesome things for our amusement instead. Like doing regular exercise and eating a healthy plant-based diet. Those are very amusing, yes, I promise. Please?

Dusty Bob

#2 Is certainly very much. I love it

Daniel Nelson

#`1 the simplicity is in itself creepy

Ellie B

#1 is SO you!

Calysto

definitely go all out with mask 2

Harrison Darby

I’m a #1 fan myself. Seems like it would work better than the oddly over-butterfly’d 2nd one.

alexis

the first mask is probably better but I also like how much the second one is EDIT given the essential "very brief joke", I agree with brice pullan who said if it's dark and real go with the first one, but if it's silly and srs do the second. I vastly prefer the second one personally so I hope you go with that

Vsevolod Zubarev

The second one is ludicrous so use that one!

James Russell

Another vote for #2. #1 looks like Abbath's face paint, so if you ever wind up doing a video about black metal, it'd be excellent for that.

lemonsnake

#1 for creepy factor

beesups

Awww yea #2

luca

Something about 2 just feels more cult-y

Flower Puppy

i think mask one would work bettter, really exited fro the new vid!

JeMaKat Arts

masque 2 had me laughing so there's my vote

Mara Weber

#1 is very Eyes Wide Shut, if you don’t mind that kind of vibe.

unspun

go number 1. more culty.

lil-big-boi

if you want it to look like a butterfly go with the 2nd one, otherwise i would advise you to modify the 1st one a bit to make it look less like a butterfly (i dont really like the vagueness)

Fool Errand

If you're willing to do a bit of finicking around with mask 2, you could probably make that look vaguely crocodile-ish. Either way though, it looks hilariously much and thus I vote for that as-is.

Utomneian

butterfly mask? cosplay as a Mesmer from Guild Wars 2 potential :D

Sam P

Hmmmm 1

Ragwis

I liked number 2! I thought it looked vaguely lizard-alien-ish despite being a butterfly.

Bella

New patron here but long-time lover of your videos. I prefer number 1. Keep it classy

@thiccrat_

this thumbnail made me cry out in recognition at seeing the very image of a drunk slavic man sitting outside of an apartment building on a small wooden bench.

David Meyer

It has ads for some reason, all the other unlisted stuff doesnt. Inconsistent tbh

Dave Dorricott

Number one is better cos it looks like the one that it is from the video where you decided to use it months ago. Wait, why am I commenting? To amuse myself? Oh, okay.
