Travis Richards helped change and define Neverending Nights, especially in the second and third season. He selflessly gave up his free time to generate and create the music that would become a very important part of Neverending Nights. I couldn’t put into words how thankful I have been for all that he’s done for Neverending Nights – not just in music, but looking out for our interest, pointing me out to various sites to help get the word out about Neverending Nights. He’s more awesome than I could ever hope to explain in words here. He’s one of the most amazing people I have gotten to know – and one day I will meet him in person, and thank him profusely.
Until then, I just need to say… HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRAVIS SMITH RICHARDS! 😉

When we were making the Season 2 DVD for NEVERENDING NIGHTS, I made a “Recap” video that would have played at the beginning – to essentially recap 21 episodes worth down to 10 minutes (and cover all the important things, and character bits that give you a feel for the characters) – in case someone new was watching the DVD and hadn’t seen Season 1. It never made it onto the DVD, so here it is for you to check out:

So thousands – perhaps millions! – of people have told us, “Man! You guys are really funny! But why did you guys do Machinima instead of a live acting video of some kind?”
I pondered this for a moment. Then dug through the archives of videos we had done, for live action – and found my answer. Because, in front of the camera, we’re really horrible actors! (Hey! You! In the back! I heard that about we’re bad voice actors too!) At any rate, Adam and I had made a video back in 2004, while we were out camping – to essentially spoof ourselves! We made a video, as Peter as Grayson – in the modern world. (Pay attention to how we emote sometimes; you will see they’re references to how the characters emote in Neverwinter Nights). This videos dates all the way back to 2004. The story was fun (there’s some mistakes that we overlooked, “Hold on, let me get a note and a paper so I can write a note to my loved ones…”) – but the real fun happens at the out takes at the end (because that’s Adam and I at our best!)
If, at any point, while I was writing NEVERENDING NIGHTS, someone would have told me, “Hey! Peter and Grayson could be used for some kind of school project!” I would have laughed. If someone told me that they would to have Peter, Grayson and Neverending Nights be a part of their final paper in College – I would have scoffed (and warned them that doing so would doom them to failure). So when Poppy (our beloved Salt Vendor) came up to me with the idea of using Neverending Nights for her College class paper – I couldn’t help but chuckle. Since it was for her class, she wrote the script herself (with a little input here and there from Adam and I about how the characters would react) – but since a large part of it had to do with things that were way too intelligent for Adam and I to understand – we left the writing of the majority of the script to Poppy for this. The script was voiced by Poppy, Amiee, Adam and myself; who had experience recording for Neverending Nights. But the rest of the people on Poppy’s team had not done anything like this and had to be a part of the project – and thus voice characters. Some really got into it, some were really monotone, and some were VERY giggly (that may have been the wine). At any rate, this was exceptionally fun to do (even if we didn’t understand the subject matter at hand), to work with new people and see them in front of the mic, and see how they designed their own characters in the toolset and how they laughed when voice and character were combined to make them come alive.
The Outtakes are by far my favorite. Be advised there is CUSSING in the out takes and it is NOT child friendly.
