Giving Up

Giving Up

This one's pretty dark, ngl. I'd recommend having a little mental reset planned out for when the videos done 🙏

Also, you should set it to 4k if your Internet can handle it. This one gets kinda ravaged by YouTube compression

I Radicalized Myself on Camera

I Radicalized Myself on Camera

Another great big video 💀

So when Death Stranding 1 came out, I still wasn't full time, so I took a week off of work to play it and try to be the first person to upload a really great video about it. I was planning to do that with Death Stranding 2, so I held off on starting another script until the game came out. Played it for a few days, and while I adore it, I didn't end up having ...

I lied 😬

Turns out I was wrong in the post-credits of my previous video. My next video is *also* gonna be a super long one. I've got about 75% of it shot, and about 80% of the edit finished. Should be a pretty interesting video, definitely some new territory for me, but I think I'm doing a good job. Here are some WIP screenshots ☺️

I really hope to avoid getting into a trend of making hour+ l...

A Long Video About Tyler, The Creator and Trauma

A Long Video About Tyler, The Creator and Trauma

It's finally done. After about 6 months of work, my longest, highest production value, densest, and scariest to upload video. Personally, I think it's my favorite video I've ever made.

So incredibly sorry to any Russians in the audience. This video unfortunately has a *lot* of copyrighted music in it, and it's been blocked in Russia because of that. I'll see about uploading it to a separ...

An overdue update about the next video

Hey guys. First off, sorry that there hasn't been any word from me here. I've been doing a decent job of communicating my situation over discord and bluesky, but I should've made a Patreon post about things right now. I'm currently dealing with an abusive situation, and while I've *nearly* finally gotten them away from myself and my family, this situation has been like... A fire that needs to b...

TORMENT SESSION 2: PROLOGUE

TORMENT SESSION 2: PROLOGUE

Alright, so Torment Session 2. I got the prologue finished. It takes place on New Year's Eve, so if you want the purest possible experience, I'd recommend waiting to watch it until the public premiere, thirteen minutes before the new year starts. So, 11:47 PM EST

A couple of things to note, the vast majority of Torment Session 2 isn't going to just be typical old Leadhe...

A little disclaimer about my next video

Hey yall, just so you guys know, my next video is the prologue to a great big series of short films I'm working on called Torment Session 2.

I really want to give the audience members a special experience when they watch the prologue, so that the amount of exposition that's required to introduce a series like this is forgiven, and people can still latch on to it enough to want to watch t...

I want to change video essays in 2025.

Final video of the year  This next project of mine, the next "season of Leadhead" is going to be really, really cool. I wanna make something nobody's ever seen before, and I think I'm starting to get a good idea of what that's gonna look like.

Alongside this new video loosely alluding to my plans, I've attached&...

A Lost Town and a Found Family

It's been far too long- over a month and a half as a matter of fact. As you can no-doubt tell from the thumbnail and title of this video, I've had some things getting in the way of my creative process. Well, this video and the next one are meant to be released back-to-back. Gonna take a bit longer than that for you guys to see the next one, but hey, that just means you get to see this one e...

Talking about my life until my feet fall off

Talking about my life until my feet fall off

Not a normal video for me by any means. It's been incredibly difficult to keep my head in the game creatively ever since the hurricane, and now with the election, that's only gotten worse. I've got two videos in the works right now. Hopefully putting this out there will help you refresh me a little bit ☺️

Honesty

Honesty

Back when I was first coming up with ideas for what I wanted my channel to be, one idea I kept coming back to was that I would play a character, and create video essays *as* that character, and tell an ARG-esque story of a video essayists life falling apart, as the tension of his life becomes too much to feasibly separate from the once-disconnected video essays. Watching through the channel, an...

I'm Kind of a Medical Mystery and it Sucks

Sooooo here's my big freaky video about why all of my videos take so long to make, despite being relatively simple. Thanks for the support yall. No joke, as you'll probably see by the time you get to the end of this, I would very likely be homeless and unemployed without you all ❤️

Love: A Video Essay

Love: A Video Essay

FINALLY another upload. Since my last video, I scrapped *two* video ideas. I had multiple weeks of some of the worst writer's block I've ever dealt with. I had to reinstall windows and wipe every single one of my hard drives, which means I had to completely reconfigure adobe premiere, and my browsers, and all of that. It also means that I completely lost my massive video game music library tha...

Sorry it took so long! I got sick 2-3 times (depending on how you count it) over the course of making this video, and there were just hella other complications. I'll be right back on my normal, fast-paced production schedule after this though <3

New video's up! I made pretty good time on this one considering I had to move between this and the last video ❤️ It's a really really beautiful one too. I always knew that some day I was gonna do a video on Minecraft, because I feel so much every time I play it. I just had to wait until I was in a real-life situation where my thoughts and feelings surrounding Minecraft could really shine....

SUPER fast turn around for a 40+ minute video, especially considering I didn't have the script written ahead of time like I did for the videos in this MGS series. *ESPECIALLY* considering all the crazy real life stuff I had to deal with over the course of this video's creation. I'm gonna try and keep up a pace like that, but I'm *right* in the middle of losing my apartment, so there might be a ...

Scene: A Metal Gear Solid 3 Analysis

Over the course of this video's production, I got a haircut so bad that I literally had to stop production, I was afflicted with a sickness the likes of which I've never seen, and I suffered a personal tragedy that will haunt me for years to come, but it's done! Sorry for the delay 😅

I gotta say, between this has to be my highest production value video, and (I think) my longest video. Hopefully it was worth the wait for you guys! I'm super proud of it ❤️

Next up, I'm going to take a break in this MGS series to do a little challenge run video for Dishonored 1. Should be a nice little mental reset for me, and a way to broaden my experience a bit. See you soon ❤...
