IT'S DONE!!

This is one of those videos that felt very clunky to me until the final hour or so of the edit — I was working on the composites and stuff, thinking "hmm... it looks.... okay." And then in the eleventh hour, when I applied the final color corrections and added in some shadows and some directional blurs, it was like everything clicked into place. Now I feel pretty good about it!

This is my last major project of 2021, which feels very weird to say! (Didn't this year just start?!) Excited to move onward to bigger and better things in 2022... after a break 😅

HOPE YOU LIKE IT, and happy holidays!!

A TPK Carol // D&D Parody Song

Happy holidays, ya nerds! Try not to get yourself toasted by a dragon this season! ► I couldn't have made this video without JESSE JERDAK! He created the terrain, printed all the miniatures, and either painted or helped me paint them! http://twitter.com/jessejerdak http://youtube.com/jessejerdak ► Want the MP3? This song isn't going to be on streaming services — but you can get the mp3 on Patreon if you like! https://www.patreon.com/posts/tpk-carol-mp3-59967604 ▼ CREDITS ▼ Written, Directed, and Edited by Ginny Di Music & Audio Engineering by J Blake Smith Terrain & Minis by Jesse Jerdak Winter Wolf 3D models from Velrock on Thingiverse Dragon model from KerberosFI on Thingiverse Character models from HeroForge ▼ LYRICS ▼ Dash or disengage, Take a dodge or help or hide, No matter what we did, Our whole party died! The Dungeon Master laughed As we begged her on our knees We should’ve had a plan but now We’re rolling new PCs CHORUS Oh! TPK, TPK Total party kill Grab your backup character ‘Cause this is not a drill TPK, TPK Total party kill We all failed our death saves But at least we got a thrill Our rogue was playing scout, Her cloak was her disguise But then some winter wolves Did take her by surprise Their eyes were burning blue They readied their attack And then they tore her limb from limb With tactics of the pack! (Chorus) The party hurried in The wizard raised her staff To cast her fireball On our late rogue’s behalf The wolves all aced their saves Their jaws reeking of death They froze our wizard head to toe With icy, stinking breath (Chorus) Then our barbarian Whose rage was fierce and hot She struck those wolves right down, Advancing as she fought Her axe was bloodied red They could not hold her back Until that dragon coasted in And ate her like a snack!

That's what I'm talking about! You should be satisfied with yourself on this piece, because it was a blast to watch! Thanks for making the holidays a little brighter at the expense of all your hard work... and your rogue and wizard. I'm not counting Na'Krasha, though. That's basically how a barbarian normally celebrates the holidays - and she even kept warm doing it! Thanks for everything you do and I look forward to what you have in store for our upcoming Natural '22. Less than three.

It's fantastic Ginny!! Funny and cute and clever, the carolers reducing in number each chorus made me giggle. I also think you genuinely did an awesome job editing. Plus, ma'am, that Rogue 😍 is she coming back please because I think I'm in lesbians

This turned out so good Ginny! Very well done! I hope that you can enjoy your well earned downtime over the next few weeks. Happy Xmas to you, Josh, Fitz, and Pablo!

The final product looks amazing! Watching your process has seriously given me newfound respect for your editing skills. You made it look so easy! Happy Holidays, Ginny!

This is so good Ginny! You definitely deserve a rest for as long as you need. Happy Holidays!!

Oh yeah! I forgot to comment on that. The caroler attrition was a hilarious touch.

I was in and out of the stream yesterday (mostly out) so I only saw bits of how this was put together. I've always enjoyed the creative process and how you develop these videos and this is no exception. The finale piece was great and really entertaining. I'll have to go back and watch the actual process, but will I get the jingle bells lyric out of my head?

The production values on this video are amazing!!! I know this one was a real struggle, but hopefully you aren't put off from making stuff like this again - it's so impressive!

Great video! I like how your players outfits changed to reflect the characters they were playing. I also enjoyed the 2 videos that followed. Jesters — a Critical Role Parody Music Video & Santa Baby: Cosplay Edition — Music Video. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

This is amazing! Deff sharing on Facebook.

This will replace Carol of the Brains as my fave Xmas tune.

Yeah, I know I tend to make late comments, but this was very good. Nice job fitting together the game pieces and the actual people (Or should I say person?). I especially like the barbarian with the axe. And by the way, I got both my calendar and my library of witticisms. I like them, so thank you.
