Hello my name is David Firth The news won't happen. The rotting newscorpse. We make the news. he news exploded. Big bits in a bag of newspiss. Bits of buggery newsy shit that nobody news about. When no one news. No one could nevernews spilling the news it's a factbomb or truthbomb not lying news newsergate newsbomb often called the dogsmack news witnessing the great news crash clickbait cracknews makes a stink news from the dogpipe. Nothing is happening anywhere ever. There is no news. The news hasn’t happened yet. The news didn’t happen, did it? The news won’t happen, but you'll forget about old news that never happened as the promise of new news will replace it. Exploding newspiss. This was just my thought process for the title. I thought I'd leave it here. Otherwise it's just a hidden compost heap in a file on my PC that will never again be accessed. 💾

Honestly, I think u already know everything so there is nothing much to tell ya

Pat Mächler

Have you considered using the FakeApp instead of video merge effects? I don't know your workflow well enough, so it's just a suggestion. The uncanny valley effect would be different I guess.

Robbie Cumming

So, so good. Thank you David that was the bestest one eva 👌

Dark Duke

Very nice... we need more of it :)

davidfirth

Hmm I will investigate. I assumed it was more of snapchat/faceapp style interface but if it works for HD video then I'll give it a shot.

Aaron Parisi

I think the tags on this post are pretty accurate

Rev Rrrouse

Tremendous! Say, did you know that there's enough poison in a GOLDFISH to kill a SLIGHTLY SMALLER GOLDFISH? That's an Animal Fact.

Cody

Extremely impressive encapsulation of our zeitgeist.

James O'Reilly

Love it mate, watched it with my parents. your faces are sometimes getting too real, too well disguised

James O'Reilly

actually looking back now i see you've always had a couple of real, non dave looking faces :)

Stephen Craven

This is so good, i dont donate to many patreons, this is worth it every time.

Unanimous D

Was that you doing the Alex Jones voice?

Alex Kleinman

Please finish Salad Fingers 11. Embarisingly, I check Patreon literally 3 times a day for any update on it! I can't take it anymore. I want a life again!

davidfirth

These things can't be rushed. I was putting in 12 hours a day on SF 11 hoping to get it finished in the next month or so but I had to take a rest and return to the news video. It really becomes an obsession that can be quite unhealthy. It's like doing smack or something. The rest of my life takes a backseat and if I do it straight through without a break, it really takes hold of me. When I'm in a project, I don't sit around wasting time. It is work-eat-sleep on repeat.

Alex Kleinman

Thanks for the response. Very understandable. It is true that moderation is the key to such things. If you take your time I am sure you will get a better result too. At the end of the day, we would all be happier with a better result than something rushed. I hope there is a way at some point that with additional financial support you can get more hands on deck to help you bring these to fruition while keeping the quality high. You are a gifted artist and there is so much potential here. We all appreciate your work very much :)

NonBritGit

Fantasticle! Down has never felt so UP!

John Potesta

Are you planning a art release for this? Just curious if they were sent out already... great video. Thanks

davidfirth

Yes of course! $200 patrons get art every time. The reason you haven't heard anything is because the money gets charged at the end of the month and that is when I will be posting the art out. Expect an email soon with options.

Hey David. I'm a maths professor and I used your video in a talk about postmodernism. The crowd was very receptive to your message. Cambridge Analytica used Facebook data to build psychological profiles of people receptive to postmodernism and they used it as a statistical indicator to target voters in the Brexit and 2016 US elections. Your video tied into that narrative perfectly. Cheers!

Pizza Margherita

Sorry but I must ask - what is the point of these latest "lens" things? a few seconds' poor quality clips... I'd rather not receive these updates, looking forward to more quality stuff you normally create.

Philip Gallagher

I am quite surprised you are complaining about a new Salad Fingers teaser. I was hella annoyed by the amount of white loading circles that were coming up for each segment, but I don't think you can blame David Firth for that element. As Brian once said, "There's no pleasing some people..."

Pizza Margherita

Well one needs to draw a line somewhere, I receive enough emails as it is. Also, I don't think it said anywhere what it was. Not a major aggravation, granted. Agree about the jittery video delivery, it's rubbish.

MF Cappiello

I enjoy the updates. Whether they come here or on Instagram is okay with me -- they're exciting either way.

davidfirth

Patreon doesn't allow me to post videos without uploading them to youtube first. I just wanted to give some tiny peeks rather than actually reveal anything, to let you know that I'm working on this every day. I could post them on instagram but I thought it'd be a nice treat for supporters. I might post instagram stories

Pizza Margherita

I'm easy, it's up to you. Perhaps gather more feedback and make a decision - I just wanted to give you mine. Anyway, if I understand your message correctly, it does sound very strange to me that you need to publish something on YouTube in order to release it on Patreon. In fact, I thought the whole point of Patreon was to give exclusive premium content to patrons. Perhaps you can upload to YouTube and set the privacy level to "Unlisted" instead of "Public"...

davidfirth

Yeah I could do but that wasn't really the intention. It was more of a "I'm not ready to preview it properly yet" kind of teaser. I'm gonna make some trailers and shit but I don't want it to feel like it's really close otherwise any momentum would probably have died by the time it actually gets out. Social media posting takes more thought than you would think.

Nick Kind

I think this is good - it's almost accurate to the world we live in today.........! I liked the way you used a flat earth!

Andrew Raff

This is top notch - love Lemons in A Jar, awesome track.

Lola Robins

Its realistic ima be honest

Peter Persson

I need more of this. I need more. Of this. We must have more. We must. Have more. Of this. I will sell off France to the moon people.

nick winney

Absolutely love it... disappointing to hear of your troubles scraping a few quid out of youtube when you provide so many people with strange joyful moments that they can get nowhere else.

Mohammad Dri

need more of those episodes ... thanks
