[SFM] Creative Control Remastered @ArcanumStudios21

Arcanum Studios Are you ready for trouble? You're STUCK with Mr. Puzzles!!

Almost TWO YEARS ago, I began animating this whole project with the intent of it being released on the 1 Year Anniversary of the Puzzlevision Movie. Little did I realize, I'd be in over my head with the scale of how this project turned out.

I also want to give a HUGE shoutout to Stupid Waluigi for helping with making the final product even better than it ever would've been if I did this whole thing on my own.

[SFM] Jailbreak Jive Reanimated

Arcanum Studios 2026-07-01 | "Moon's my lookout! Stars' my guide! Let's do that Jailbreak Jive!"

Hey guys! Got a small short one here for you! In my efforts to recreate the Puzzlevision Saga's best musical moments, I decided to recreate the improvised dance number from "Guns N' Puzzles." I started this project as a little something to work on when I wasn't home, and seeing the streak I've had with my last two videos, I wanted to get this one out soon too.

[SFM] Guns N Puzzles Recreated

Arcanum Studios 2026-06-06 | Hello, my cherished audience! Allow me to tell you a story....

In the fall of last year while I was finishing up my final months of college, I was tasked with creating a 2 minute long 3D animation for my Senior Project. I thought it would be cool to recreate the fight scene from SMG4's Guns N' Puzzles movie.

One of the animators from the series, Clubbins, had mentioned in a bluesky post that he originally used "Faint" by Linkin Park for the scene he animated. Unfortunately, due to copyright reasons, they had to change it.

The project was submitted back in early December and I passed with flying colors. I did plan to put this on Youtube once it was done, but I decided to wait until my Creative Control Remastered project was finished before this one.

And now, I present to you, GUNS N' PUZZLES!!!

[SFM] Ive Come To Make An Announcement...

Arcanum Studios 2025-01-04 | I've come to make an announcement: Shadow the Hedgehog's a- I'm just kidding, I've got a Patreon and a Kofi now!

As of right now, I have a big project in the works which you'll see a trailer of in the video. But I also wanna make it possible for people who wanna support me, be able to do so. On my patreon, you'll be able to see WIPs, behind-the-scenes, and even see videos prior to Youtube releases!

I'd also like to not only do stuff for my own channel, I'd also like to help people out by making animations for their own channels too, so I set a commission page on my newly-made Ko-Fi.

I know this might not seem like a huge deal, but getting more than 500 subscribers on Youtube is a huge deal for me. It shows that as a small creator, people like my work and want to see more. I may not post as much as I would like to but I wanna make up for that by making sure what I post is as high quality as I can make it.

Patreon - patreon.com/ArcanumStudios

Kofi - ko-fi.com/arcanum_studios

All maps, models, props, & music used in the video belong to their respective owners.

All animation was made by me in Source Filmmaker.

[SFM] Sonic Frontiers Intro Reanimated

Arcanum Studios 2023-09-25 | Hi!

If you still happen to watch my channel, then you were probably expecting my next video to be the 300 Subscriber Special. However, I somewhat hit a few snags with production, which I have covered in the video. In short, busy with work, some losses of motivation, experimentation with animation styles, you get the idea. So I've decided to post this to keep some content on my channel flowing and gives something for you to view. Until my "Special" is complete, I'm going to focus on making more animations.

Interestingly, this was made before I hit 300 Subscribers and completed the day before Sonic Frontiers first released. Then the game came out and I played it, ended up forgetting to post this. But with the final update coming out this Thursday, better late then never! Be sure to like, comment, and definitely subscribe!

All models, maps, props, and audio go to their respective owners.

Animation - Done by me in Source Filmmaker

Editing - Done by me in Filmora 12
