BuzzNBenAt long last. The final trailer for my fangame Super Mario Bros Doomsday. It's been over 5 years since I started this project, but now I can say that it is finally finished and open to the public for download.
Note this may appear to be a Super Mario World rom hack, but in reality it's a fully playable Mario fangame created with Game Maker. It plays alot like Super Mario World, but with slightly different physics, a complex story, and a whole new atmosphere to explore!

Hello everyone, Ben here!
Treats for Toonces is a buddy comedy starring me and my cat that I made in 5 days for the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge, a film challenge which gives filmmakers an opportunity to change the way disability is perceived through filmmaking in front of and behind the camera.
After I buy my cat new treats, my cat becomes obsessed and pesters me to no end while I insist he got plenty. Will I resist his constant nagging or give in to his new treat addiction?!
Special thanks to my friend Dani Bowman (Danimation Entertainment) for the hilarious animation segments as well as Keaton Bicknell for doing some of the music!

So just like the 10 Year Anniversary video I did a few years ago, I thought I'd share more of my unreleased videos. If you'd like to skip to a particular part, here are the timestamps:

Was originally meaning to upload this the day of Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga's anniversary, but I completelly underestimated how long it would take to make this video. Regardless, I hope you enjoy it!

Now, 12 years later, I thought why not remaster some of it with new music and sound effects? Perhaps in the future I will re-animate it, but for now, this is the definitive version to watch.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!Jonas Evants California Visit Vlog (2022)BuzzNBen2022-10-06 | Please ENABLE captions for a better viewing experience!
Last week, my very good friend who I met online over a decade ago and lives in Norway visited California to meetup with me for the first time ever! We had been exclusively friends online until this point.
So, I thought what better way to commemorate this momentous occasion than to vlog his visit?! While I mainly vlogged it so our other friend that lives in the Netherlands could see it, I think it turned out to be a great vlog!
While his time here in California was short lived (just 3 days), we had a fabulous time and certainly made the most of it.

I uploaded the first episode, "Hot Weather" back on May 2nd, 2010. I was still in middle school at the time. Since I had only MS Paint back then and Windows Movie Maker, that is what I used to make these. However, due to receiving a copyright claim, I had to remove the original upload.

10 years ago, back when Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story was the latest game in the Mario and Luigi series, I announced a fangame called Mario and Luigi RPG 4 that I was making in Game Maker 8. 2 years after that, I started to put in custom assets to make it feel more like a sequel. However, I decided to cancel it after the project became impossible to work with.
Now, I'm happy to announce that I am reviving the project. Right now, the fangame is in development. Currently, I am working on the battle engine to be as faithful to the Mario and Luigi series as possible.

From starting off making videos with Windows Movie Maker, this channel has truly been through alot these past 10 years. I've evolved so much as a filmmaker and for this anniversary, I wanted to make a video on how I got to where I am now. My older videos consisted of YTPs, game trailers, remixes, and more. Now, my editing skills have progressed significantly.
I remember I was only in middle school when I first created this account. Now, I'm about to graduate college with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Film and Television Editing.
Over the years, I have had many video ideas that I planned to upload. However, some of these videos were either never brought into fruition, never finished, or just never uploaded... until today.

I couldn't help but think of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds as they flew all around me. It was quite a sight. Because of it, I was inspired to make my own rendition.
A spiritual successor to the classic 1963 film, The Birds? Probably not, but this was still fun to make.
Happy New Year everybody!

I guess you can say it has been quite a long time since I've done a video Buzzy related, but he's back after 4 years of a long absence from animation.
This little short was animated on Toon Boom Harmony (my first time using the program). So no more MS Paint and Movie Maker animations anymore, haha.

So this Top 10 is dedicated to my very good friend Jeremy Hall's Youtube channel, 9895JAH and here I list all of my favorite/least favorite9895jah videos and describe why they are better or worse than his other videos. The rules being I can't be biased if I was in them or not, they have to be edited, but length doesn't matter. Also, if they are not visible on his channel, they can still be included. So enjoy.
I may decide to do more of these types of videos in the future.Doctor Who Just Do ItBuzzNBen2015-06-16 | Sorry but I just had to do it...

Except for maybe 0:24, but I think that's part of the theme, not added on sound effects.
William Shapesphere, a local tourist, decides to claim the top of a hill. But in order to make it his, he must destroy a piece of it's property, the cross on the hill. Why does he need to destroy this cross? The world may never know.

I have to note that the whole reason we are doing this challenge is not just to pour cold buckets of water on our heads but to spread the word about ALS. If you don't know what it is, what's stopping you from looking on Google. I admit, before this challenge I had no idea what ALS is. Let's just remember why we are doing this. It is for a good cause.
Also, I did the challenge AND donated. I suggest anybody who takes the challenge do the same.Phoenix Wright - Trials and Tribulations Objection! RemixBuzzNBen2014-05-17 | The Objection Theme from the third Ace Attorney game.
