Hey wonderful backers!
The studio is moving along SO quickly now – we can barely keep up. Every time we visit, something major has changed. The set walls are now all black, giving it a real ‘studio’ feel and the Green Screen is almost done! (It just needs needs be painted green..)
We’re going to be moving into the office space in three weeks which is insane!! And then the set completion will follow. It’s going to be so surreal even just WORKING from there after all these years working remotely from home.
We honestly cannot thank you enough for your generous contributions. It really is a dream come true and we can’t wait to bring you bigger, better and more content once it’s all done!
Doesn’t seem that long ago when you were contemplating purchasing empty sections. Can’t wait to see it all finished, it’s looking great!
I love watching how excited you guys are, like kids in a toy store.
but the price of the toy has increased drastically ! 😀
hahaha true
So…when you’re allowed to use your car park.. do we get to watch the battle of who gets the best parking spot?
Hopefully yes, but I guess it will end with some variation to “managers privileges boiiiii”
That would be hilarious!
With the NZ largest green screen coming to your office I hope (US/UK/Other) studios use it and you make a Squillion$$$$.
I love the journey more than the destination.
That would definitely be a good way to recoup some costs. Rent out use of the green screen whenever you guys are not using to film for VLDL skits.
Watching Rowan explain the bathrooms. You guys are nuts! I love it!!!
Hopefully they will get comfy carpets to “rest” on 😂
Make sure that worker gets a pay raise, otherwise who knows what they do to your precious studio!
Feels like it was yesterday that you went on the first sighting… Just imagine – a YEAR after the KS you will already be sitting IN YOUR OWN OFFICES!
Oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my 3 WEEKS??? That is absolutely insane and dingo and unbelievable and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
This is one of your best blog updates so far… so much progress, joy, and hilarity!
So thrilled to see everything coming together for you all <3
NASA technology!!!!!!
Those toilets desperatly need some grafitti!
Lots of employees like to have a remote day per week so maybe it’s just the end of the *total* remote
The Green Screen is white. That shit’s dingo.
Wow! I’m so happy for the future of Viva! You are all awesome and I’m excited to see you all move in!
Man, the studio is getting sexier with each update!
Ahhhhh it’s all so exciting!!!!!
So excited!! I’m so happy to be part of this 😀
Looking good! I’ve been wondering about the random beam and column (see 1:19 in the video). Is that going to be moved eventually?
This is legit coming together now. I cannot wait. I think I’m going to have to subscribe to patreon when you move in, cannot wait to see the behind the scenes stuff.
Three weeks until the offices? That’s insane! Can’t wait for the update from the first office day!
Thanks for the update! That green screen setup is going to be absolutely epic!
Woohoo! Nice to see it really moving along. So can’t wait to see the first episode shot in the new space!
Just caught up with all the work you guys have been doing. Looks awesome!!
It’s coming to get so fast! And it looks amazing!
Omg it is all looking so amazing! I’m so happy for you guys! Watching your dream come true and you being so happy about it is just the best thing in the world ♥
wow. thing move faster and faster. Great. happy for you guys, and hope everything goes smooth has this until it is completed
This is all so exciting guys, can’t wait to see the first episodes of the various shows you’ll film there.
Looking good. Can’t wait for the sets.
This is insane! You guys are real examples of what it looks like to follow your dreams no matter what. Can’t wait for what’s in store for the future.
That shits DINGO!
That’s absolutely insane! It’s surreal that it’s actually happening now 😀 So excited for the finished look and seeing what you all start making next! Congrats Viva!!
I love seeing them goof off in the studio! So excited to see when it’s finished soon!
YASS, IT’S LOOKING STELLER!!!
Dudes so awesome… Thanks Rowan for rep 420 in the Survival vids. You guys are the closest thing to a modern Monty Python I’ve seen, so glad I donated to this.
So exciting! Thanks for sharing with us! You guys look so happy about the new place and moving into the offices!
Much love, boys! So happy it’s coming along nicely. Cheers!
Most excellent. Really coming together fast now. Can hardly wait for when you christen the building with your first show.
Looks awesome guys! Super excited for you. Thanks for everything. It’s great to come along for the journey.
Way cool to see all the progress.
Excellent, exciting stuff!
Out of context, the picture of Rowan in the bathroom looks like you locked him in there for a week and just got back to let him out. In context, the poop pipe must have that kind of effect. Just need to add a bidet!
🤟😆👍
“Change your cossie” How strong is your NZ lingo gonna get?
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED FOR YOU GUYS!!!!!!! The Studio is looking amazing! Every time you guys do an update I am blown away.
Congrats to the team! I know I was dieing from laughter during Survival Logic, can’t wait to see what else you get up to.
It’s unbelievable and amazing! Congrats, guys, I’m so happy for you!
Lookin good ^^
Looking good!!!
I didn’t know you were building the studio of the future. I must say having a poo pipe to suck away all of that stinky shit sounds mighty convenient. The glass looks like it’s not even there too, yet somehow it magically sounds like it is. Are you sure you’re not time travelers? It would explain why your content never gets old. It would also explain why you’re the only people who have pink wood from pink trees.
Honestly though, everything is looking amazing. I’m always excited to see the updates, especially now that things are closer to being done. It’s going to be fantastic when it’s all done. Also, Alan’s new hair looks great 👍
Of course the still image is of rowen’s innovative way to poop 💩 😂
I’d love the next update to have a walk through — like drive up, park, walk to the front door, see the lobby reception, etc haha
So happy for you – and for us, to get even more productions from you guys!
Can’t wait to see the first test shots from the green screen once it’s done. I think getting your heads wrapped around how that’ll work for you is going to be really interesting. Fantastic progress.
Love seeing how much its changed in such a sort period of time…everytime
Technical question, with all the flat space in the green screen room, how will you deal with sounds echoing off of it? Is the green paint sound absorbing?
They covered that in one of the previous blogs. Basically the green screen is angled at about 95 degrees, so the sound bouncing off the walls is actually projected into the ceiling rather than around the box. Then in the ceiling you put sound proofing to absorb the sound projected upwards.
Wow!! Tangible now. Looking forward to the new content.
Three Weeks of excruciating hype – Le’s Go
Absolutely awesome. Cannot wait to see the amazing work you guys create with the new studios and reen screens. 😀
Wicked! Looks awesome 😁
Wow things are moving fast! Can’t wait to see all the things you can do with that green green screen!
Looking forward to the completion and progressing the team’s dreams.
So the green screen is white. But you will plant a couple of pink trees around the studio, right?
I’m so hyped just seeing how hyped the VLDL team is!
Just one year after the Kickstarter campaign ended and you are about to enter your new studio! It’s absolutely unbelievable! I’m so happy for you guys. I am hyped for the future of VLDL!
Amazing, chaps. Simply amazing. If I ever met you guys, I’d be so starstruck, and I’ve waited on (served food to) Harrison Ford no problem. My heart is fuller knowing that your vision is becoming reality! MUCH LOVE, you amazing bastards.
I just got caught up. Everything looks amazing! I can feel your excitement! Looking forward to more updates!
The only thing more exciting than seeing your new studio coming together is envisioning what your new productions are going to look like once it’s all done! Can’t wait to see them!
Awesome update, can’t wait to see more progress soon. I’m glad to see the green screen, I imagine you will be using that to rent out to other productions as well. I am still super curious about the Honeymoon Tavern, the Castle, Dungeons and Caves, and The Bored sets with how and where they are going to fit into your other space. I can’t wait to see the tavern in action with your DnD show.
super exciting! love seeing these updates
Awesome sauce. 🙂
Keep it, screens look fantastic
It’s crazy how many moving parts go into creating this. The black walls really transform the space. Serious kudos for seeing the original building and envisioning what it could be.
It’s so awesome that everything is being built so fast! Can’t wait! 😀
Can I put in a request for more Dinkledork skits?? There’s something about that character thats so hilarious. You could make an Inspector Clouseau skit, or Monk\Columbo, endless possibilities.
oh wow! I havent been catching up on these for like 15 posts.. oh wow guys! thats amazing!!
So super pumped for you guys to move in and just so excited to see my favorite content creators finally having a space! Discovered you guys in 2018 and have been a fan ever since! Amazing to see the journey!
