Blog #20 – Rowan, Alan & Adam visit

Big progress is happening at the studio now! Rowan hasn’t been there for a while so you can tell by his reaction how much has changed.

The Green Screen is nearly halfway up! It’s amazing to see how much goes into it and all the considerations that have been made.

The office space is also well underway – although it’s a tad messy-looking, all the big structural stuff is done. This means everything from now will be pretty quick!

We’re so excited to get in here. The Green Screen will be done in a couple of weeks, and we’re hoping to be in the offices early March.

Thanks again for your support! We are so grateful to you all.

P.s. don’t believe anything Rowan says about pink trees and lasers…

    Amazing! March can’t come soon fast enough!

      It’s looking really good guys! Good luck.

  2. Elchjazz

    Coming along really nicely. Looking forward to see it all come together!

  3. Michael_pilot

    Naaaah, everything Rowan says is true: you just want to keep this wonderful resource for NZ.
    When I think that I used this kind of laser for another purpose, I absolutely did not realize that I put everyone in great danger!

    Hope any new furniture arrives on time, I remember a Bored episode based on Alan’s experience of ordering and paying for stuff and then it took forever to arrive.

  5. TreehouseTavern

    The timeline on this is incredible! To think that you found such a great space so quickly and the rebuild has gone so fast! I genuinely can’t believe that by basically early April we’ll see Bored, Tavern, and the green screen all ready to go!

    1. Conduit0

      Seriously, it’s going to be just a little over a year for them to have gone from Kickstater to finished studio.

  6. KageWolf

    WHOOOOOO can’t wait to see the Tavern!

  7. Miss_Iri

    This is absolutely amazing and exciting!
    Love the progress and so glad to be on the journey with you all!

  8. DisownedPuppy

    Looks great guys! and that green screen – that shit’s dingo!

  9. XxLaureanoXx

    I’m so excited! Can’t wait!

  10. Telrak

    Looking great so far! I hope the final office colour is set to be pink as well. 😀

  11. Fakkus

    tbh i cant imagine how everything of your content is improving. i mean its on such a high level and now you tell us you might improve this ?!

  12. callicojacks

    I honestly can’t believe things are happening so quick. I’m really happy for you guys!

  13. Janessa

    The joy and excitement is palpable! You’re getting a little closer every day to completion and I’m thrilled for you all.
    Fingers crossed the recent rain and flooding doesn’t interrupt the construction process.

  14. Gaetan

    This is by far my biggest and best investment I ever made.

  15. BZM

    So cool. I guess for once my money has gone to something important, rather than for snacks and video games.

    1. Fenrir Wolfganger

      Hey, No snacks = no video games. No video games = no Epic NPC Man. No Epic NPC Man = Our not being here for me to remind you that everything works together. Keep snacking my friend, keep snacking (in a healthy manner of course).

  16. 2001faultline

    I can not wait to see it finished. I’m excited for you all

  17. KazzyJr

    Great to see it shape as you’ve envisioned 😀

  18. h121

    I’m not used to kickstarters that start delivering immediately and just keep doing it.

  19. LethiferousMoose

    Everything is happening so fast! This is fantastic progress!

  20. trychydts

    I am so happy for you guys! I am sure this will lead to amazing things.

  21. tigertoa

    Looks great guys! Next update, Rowan needs to be missing part of his right arm that went into the green “light sabre” laser 😉

  22. Ajoh

    So freaking exciting! Man you guys could recoup some decent money renting out that green screen to outside productions…

  23. RunaStormseer

    So exciting! Love seeing it coming together. 🙂

  24. Adzer2

    Wow, solid work has been done on it, looking forward to seeing the finished offcie and the obvious production value increase you’ll naturally get with it

  25. Grdiang3l

    I’m in awe / disbelief of the progress!! Testimony to what an amazing team VLDL has built. So excited to feel like I’m part of this journey!!!

  26. PamiS

    Awesome progress!

    And I literally just learned about the UK use of the slang term “mental” about an hour ago, two at most. Now here I hear it used in context! Thanks Alan. That’s mental.

  27. jazzlikerain

    This is amazing how quickly it’s all coming together. Can’t wait to see the awesome things you do with it once it’s done.

  28. wij2012

    Wow. It’s looking great. Can’t wait to see it all done. Congrats on everything guys!!

  29. Nerothacher

    so NZ has Truffula Tree’s? lol

  30. Rayan

    Wicked. So cool seeing it all come together. Almost there. 👏🏽😁

  31. Meatwadsan

    I can’t wait for the first shoot in there!

  32. Spudmaster Bob

    Awesome guys! So great to see all of the progress! Looking forward to seeing what all you are able to create in the new digs!

  33. tpsutphin

    So happy for you guys, really great

  34. Anastor

    It’s great to see how excited you guys are for this! I love that this is happening, and at speed! Keep up the joy guys, loving the vibe!

  35. Andrew.mcqueen

    I was half expecting Rowan to yell out “You’ve been RO PRANKED!” 🙂

  36. fearsomegnome

    So great to see the progress. That shit’s Dingo!
    Just got my Dingo shirt and it is itself Dingo.
    Really glad to have been able to contribute to this kickstarter. Feels good to see you guys so happy about it almost being done. I can’t wait to see the content you are able to create with it.

  37. Hades112

    I feel we need skits with Pink Trees and Laser Cutters now. Health and Safety in the Pink Forrest for NZ lumberjacks.

  38. DragonsAreHungry

    That´s unbelievable! The progress is amazing. And I got chills when you were talking about February/March, that´s SOOOOOOO close! Also, I did not believe a single thing Rowan said about the pink stuff and that laser….but I kinda want to believe the pink stuff comes from the trees that look like in Lorax. Just hope you didn´t use all of the trees, I don´t want electric disco trees. 😂

  39. Gargolin86

    Im so exsited for you guys and to see the awsome things you are going to make 😀

  40. KermMartian

    Wow, that’s some fast progress! Congratulations, and it must be doubly exciting for you guys.

  41. touchofstrange

    The progress is amazing and the excitement & anticipation are palpable! So happy for you all! <3

  42. StoneWolf

    Haha can’t believe you’re one of the fastest delivering Kickstarters I’ve ever backed and you’re buiding a gorram STUDIO!

  43. Vaynewolf

    The green screen looks AMAZING! Love seeing how the studios are coming! You guys seem so freaking hyped about it, and you should be! This is AWESOME! Can’t wait to see what new episodes and shows you guys produce from your NEW STUDIO! WOO HOOOOOO!!!!!

  44. wurzel1358

    I second all the comments above. Ammmazing!!

  45. C. John Austin

    And then, due to a slight error in planning, you end up with a Pink Room 😱

  46. lydiaderhake

    Woahwoahwoahwoahwoahwaitwait wait just a second…Is Adam NOT MARRIED???? How is Adam not married with that AMAZING motorcycle and black leather jacket? Whaaaaaa??? 😂

  47. waxwing

    The speed of the progress is surreal! It feels like the Kickstarter just finished up a couple of months ago, but at the pace the work is going, you guys will be in a working studio by the time the first anniversary of the Kickstarter rolls around. I am so impressed! I knew you guys had good ideas, but I never imagined it would all be this seamless.

  48. Helo-XIII

    Hi,
    I was wondering this during the kickstarter campaign too,
    do you think at some point you will be able to lend the studio for other projects ? (cinema students movie project like )

  49. MaitreChampignon

    I was about to say “how does this handle the audio” because, as a student in sound design, I’ve encountered green screen rooms that had a terrible sound, but they didn’t have this curve yours have

  50. Starship420

    Wow awesome! Noticed how Rowan kept itching after he touched the pink bush.

  51. Lee Wood

    Only a brief glimpse of the construction crew t-shirts… that isn’t the VILDL bois on the back… it can’t be…

    And yeah, there IS natural insulation in New Zealand, but it doesn’t grow on trees. Sheep, guys. It grows on sheep.
