Just wanted to let you know that I really do love your background music. It blends in nicely with whatever's going on and it's never jarring or awkward 10/10 much love
Jimmy, my husband and I have moved twice, conceived and birthed a child in the spance of watching your content. I say all of that to give weight to put I'm about to say: As a fan: My husband and I LOVE your content and are always checking to see if you've posted. As a friend: Do what you have fun doing. There's a reason so many people started watching you play. Someone is always going to have something to say; you cant make everyone happy. There's a season for everything and there's nothing wrong with taking a break if you need one. 🤷♀️ It's hard to produce excellent work that you're proud of if you're dreading doing the work. 🤔
I would love for this series to continue. Side note: around 7:05 you talk about the inconsistent zoom, and I feel like zooming for one character and zooming out for yourself can empathize you are a different character. While they were inconsistent, they do portray a difference in who is talking visually.
not really a question, but I am really interested in cinematography, although I never studied such a thing. I have a list of "best videos ever made" with my selection of yt videos that I've found to be extremely captivativating over the years. This consists of just very few videos, but your video "RuneScape: An MMO Split In Half" made it to that list after the first time I've seen it. I've watched that video at least 15 times and probably will watch it again many more. I love your work a lot and I will support everything you'll do in this style! Keep up the amazingness!
Not a question, but I wanted to stop in and say that the ending to By Release Episode 3 is one of my favorite moments by far. As someone who spent his entire childhood stuck in f2p, and only recently really got into members, the feeling of not only standing behind that gate, imagining what could be on the other side, but also that triumphant moment of stepping through it for the first time; it all resonated so strongly with me. You managed to capture the emotions of my child and adult self, and when I binge the whole series during my grinds, my eyes still well up at the end of ep 3. Anyway, thanks for taking time to read this, and keep doing what you do. It's been a blast.
J1mmy I think you are the peoples champion of OSRS. We will watch any content and support you on everything you do. I know what it’s like to get in your head and only see the negatives but always remember we will support you in everything you do!
Really enjoying this, thanks. Love your background music and B-roll. Noticed it on your first video and all your videos with it afterward. All the best J1mmy, don't get burned out. Cheers
love this behind the scenes look! Been here since the first episode and you've always stood out as a content creator with great humor as well as great production value and an awesome chill approach to the game. cheers
I personally really liked the longer intros, it felt very professional and like it was an actual tv show/movie and that we were about to watch something special
But be do worry about you J1mmy, we all want you to be as happy as you make us when we watch your amazing series, we all love you and we hope you're doing okay 💕
Hope that you can push through this burnout! I love your videos a lot, and I'm glad you're not just doing Osrs videos as well. Would you ever consider doing a long series on a different RPG like Skyrim or something? I would watch the heck out of that.
I hate to hear that jim is burned out /: but he has been doing by release for what almost 3 years? Must be extremely tiring. I’ve actually watched episode 1-38 of by release 3 times. It’s pretty dope seeing some of the behind the scenes stuff
14:45 I felt that bit in my soul. I've been working 3 months on a video that's barely 10 minutes so far because my live commentary in early clips is just unusable, and my workflow is pretty terrible. Would love to see more of these if you enjoyed making it
Dude I seriously want you to know, you're my second favorite OSRS UA-camr behind Link and Rargh. Like, that rates you higher than Settled and his swamp-man series. You're rated higher on my list than B0aty and Torvesta, Virtoso and Tanzoo, and the other 100 shitty little so-called youtubers that are out there. I absolutely love every episode that you release, almost as much as I love watching Link and Rargh beat each other to a pulp. And your original music is cream of the crop. Literal cream. Of a crop. Love you Also thank god you're an audiophile like me. 90% of UA-camrs need to buy a decent vocal microphone, then add some compression and EQ, but they don't. And you do. Which is great.
Don't want to rush if you are planning to say in a later video, but if you don't mind me asking. What has been your favorite quest you got to play and comment on? I enjoy the genuine excitement you seem to have had on them, but wanted to know which you feel was your fave from both a playing and commentary prospective.
Post release! When you (on the rare instances you do) record talking to a camera, do you memorize your script or have some other way of saying your script well staring into the camera?
I always forget the actual amount of time and effort you put in to the videos. And that’s not even including the time to get your account to the requirements for the episodes you’re making. Just take a break man, you’ve earned it
Hey Jimmy! first off, thank you for all the content that you create. I thoroughly enjoy every video that you produce for us. My question is were you always a pc gamer or did you also grow up with consoles like the ps1/2 or any Nintendo consoles?
Tbh as much criticism as you give yourself for your early episodes they were by far the best. I’m not saying the new eps aren’t good but they just don’t compare to the early months of this series. I whole heartedly enjoyed the first 10-15 eps.
I guess this question isn't really production related but more about the gameplay side of things, but how has playing the By Release account made you feel about Ironman accounts in general? Like are you enjoying the difference in gameplay as opposed to the normal OSRS experience? Or would you be hating it if it weren't for the By Release restrictions/format? Love the series btw, and can't wait for the Valorant video!
Could you elaborate more on your role as president of your university's hockey team? Do you like hockey in general or was it something that was an opportunity at the time?
Completely unrelated to most of the series, but I do have a question that I'd love an answer to: Sandy confessions, the hand in the sand song you made for episode 27, lived in my head absolutely rent free. It was so addictive to listen to I went and put the lyrics along with proper annotation on Genius lyrics, as far as I know, this was the first of your songs to be put there. I was content with that, but spotify releases etc got me to revisit the page, and there is a second annotation by a "J1mmyByRelease" on Genius, and I just have to know if it was you that did it! Genius says the account made a lyrics edit proposal, but it won't let me view the proposal, I really hope I didn't get any lyrics wrong, cause I spent wayyy too long writing them all up ahaha
What was the thought process behind doing a handheld, corded microphone for your monologues? Personally I really like it because it contributes to the feel that this series is a throwback to when things weren't refined/clean in MMOs, but I'm curious if that's what you were actually thinking as well.
Aye jimbob, I'm curious about your setup. I want to make my own videos one day. What capture card do you use/recommend? As a fan of sound do you use a mixer for your microphone and audio? What mic do you use? (It sounds great!) Do you record video on a camera or webcam? Thanks for the laughs, never stop being yourself bub.
Hey man, I appreciated the landscape shots when you did them. It reminded me of nintendo 64 games ( legend of zelda oot and mm specifically). It was both artistically really well done and nostalgic. If it was something that helped you produce videos definitely make them again. It’s nice to listen to your viewers but the viewers are not the ones making the videos. You are. I know views are important to you, however I doubt those intros would be the reason people stop following you.
As much as I love the series, once it's over do you have a game plan in mind on what to do next? Is there another big runescape series in the works or would you take the opportunity to lean more heavily into the non RS gaming scene?
What happens when you get the quest cape? Is the series over? Obviously osrs will still have more quests once you catch up, so will there be extra by release vids?
Jim, as a long-time aspiring wannabe Runescape YTer and musician, how exactly does your process for writing, recording, and mastering your songs go? I'm a self taught drummer and producer and hearing the Recipe for Disaster song blew my mind.
So what are you gonna do when you have to do client of kourend, because they retroactively made the clue scroll one with veos a req for it which means continuity is broken
speaking of learning a new premiere trick every week, you can make a preset of the transform effect that you can just drop onto any clip and get the same zoom settings every time. No need to control C + control Z like you mention at 7:35
Hey big dawg, you gotta take some time to yourself. Can’t enjoy your continent if you aren’t enjoying making it. Take your time, and we’ll be waiting for your return.
How do you feel about the whole concept of parasocial relationships? Lots of people see you and your content as if they actually are actually engaging with you, wonder how that feels for you (except unreal) on your part. Wish you all the best and good fortune
It really seems like people are starting to fall off of this game lately… can’t blame them, I’m finding myself in the same boat just burnt on the same content over and over. Hope you take some time for yourself and figure out what you want to do, either way you have fans that will support you in content other than RuneScape. Can’t wait for the 007 video 😂
this series should definitely be titled "Post Release"
Or pre release
Yes
Please
Hot take: the long intros / extended dolly shots with accompanying music are my favorite part.
The intros were lit
Aye.
I always liked the longer intros personally
Can't believe this series is two years old man, feels like it started yesterday. Love it jimmy boy kisses for you x
Just wanted to let you know that I really do love your background music. It blends in nicely with whatever's going on and it's never jarring or awkward 10/10 much love
The intro to that episode was great. Ignore the sweaty high octane gamers who can’t relax for 30 seconds to relive old times in this old game.
Jimmy, my husband and I have moved twice, conceived and birthed a child in the spance of watching your content. I say all of that to give weight to put I'm about to say:
As a fan: My husband and I LOVE your content and are always checking to see if you've posted.
As a friend: Do what you have fun doing. There's a reason so many people started watching you play. Someone is always going to have something to say; you cant make everyone happy.
There's a season for everything and there's nothing wrong with taking a break if you need one. 🤷♀️ It's hard to produce excellent work that you're proud of if you're dreading doing the work. 🤔
just want you to know the little things you add and spend so much time on, while not always acknowledged, are always appreciated x
Gotta say i do really appreciate your sound design. Your BGM is always on point.
I would love for this series to continue. Side note: around 7:05 you talk about the inconsistent zoom, and I feel like zooming for one character and zooming out for yourself can empathize you are a different character. While they were inconsistent, they do portray a difference in who is talking visually.
Love these behind the scenes series so much!
Bro, I loved "according to j1m" and I enjoyed you're early vids

By Release has taught me more about Runescape lore than my 15+ years playing the game. Thank you so fucking much lmao
Really enjoying this, thanks.
Love your background music and B-roll.
Noticed it on your first video and all your videos with it afterward.
All the best J1mmy, don't get burned out.
Cheers
I think this man has gone insane under the pressure.
?
love this behind the scenes look! Been here since the first episode and you've always stood out as a content creator with great humor as well as great production value and an awesome chill approach to the game. cheers
J1mmy: I’m on a time crunch
Also J1mmy: spends 27 hours in 3 days on Civ 6
I personally really liked the longer intros, it felt very professional and like it was an actual tv show/movie and that we were about to watch something special
But be do worry about you J1mmy, we all want you to be as happy as you make us when we watch your amazing series, we all love you and we hope you're doing okay 💕
Love whatever you post j1m, you're a good guy
Hope that you can push through this burnout! I love your videos a lot, and I'm glad you're not just doing Osrs videos as well. Would you ever consider doing a long series on a different RPG like Skyrim or something? I would watch the heck out of that.
I fricken love the intro on this eppisode lol, I been putting by release on like every night. Thank you
The spice for big quests is awesome
What's the most difficult part of making By Release? There's so much that goes into these.
Thanks for showing the real stuff, it's why I love your stuff
I LOVED the intros btw, they were great. Long or not, it made it feel like it was a quality piece.
You making Kevin scream is always a bonus x
“I had euphoria all over the place”
Gross get some tissues or something
People complained about the intros? Man I miss those intros :(
Yo I appreciate all the work you put into the background music. I always notice it, and definitely love it
Such an amazing siries clears up so much wilst giving a hint of nostalgia
That intro from episode 2 gave me Life is Strange vibes, it had me going "Hey, wtf why do I feel feelings and wanna cry?"
You could always get framed to guest on these episodes. I dont know how it would help I just like when kevin funny screams
I hate to hear that jim is burned out /: but he has been doing by release for what almost 3 years? Must be extremely tiring. I’ve actually watched episode 1-38 of by release 3 times. It’s pretty dope seeing some of the behind the scenes stuff
Loved ep 2's intro :( Was the best one imo
You're a pretty cool cat Jimbo 👍
Didn't know you went to KU, class of 2018 here! Totally agree with the sheer amount of unnecessary classes required.
I honestly really enjoyed the longer intro. For the start of the series it works really well. Then you switch to a shorter one.
14:45 I felt that bit in my soul. I've been working 3 months on a video that's barely 10 minutes so far because my live commentary in early clips is just unusable, and my workflow is pretty terrible. Would love to see more of these if you enjoyed making it
Dude I seriously want you to know, you're my second favorite OSRS UA-camr behind Link and Rargh. Like, that rates you higher than Settled and his swamp-man series.

Love you
Also thank god you're an audiophile like me. 90% of UA-camrs need to buy a decent vocal microphone, then add some compression and EQ, but they don't. And you do. Which is great.
Hey J1mmy, not sure if you know but fixed mode used to be the only way you could play.
really wanted to see you and settled duke it out in gg love your intros you the man jim
omg i love this content so much
Don't want to rush if you are planning to say in a later video, but if you don't mind me asking. What has been your favorite quest you got to play and comment on? I enjoy the genuine excitement you seem to have had on them, but wanted to know which you feel was your fave from both a playing and commentary prospective.
Feel free to make as much of these as you want
Post release!
When you (on the rare instances you do) record talking to a camera, do you memorize your script or have some other way of saying your script well staring into the camera?
I always forget the actual amount of time and effort you put in to the videos. And that’s not even including the time to get your account to the requirements for the episodes you’re making.
Just take a break man, you’ve earned it
I actually loved the intro to #2. Still curious what the song is called, despite being behind the paywall, it's very chill!
I cannot believe you went to KU, youre telling me I could have met you and had no idea you were so close?!
I didn’t know Jimmy was a Connoisseur of the art piece known as Euphoria
I'm proud of you Dad!
Damn right about the roofs!
Man he said "According to Jim." I miss that shit :(
Hey Jimmy! first off, thank you for all the content that you create. I thoroughly enjoy every video that you produce for us.
My question is were you always a pc gamer or did you also grow up with consoles like the ps1/2 or any Nintendo consoles?
Tbh as much criticism as you give yourself for your early episodes they were by far the best. I’m not saying the new eps aren’t good but they just don’t compare to the early months of this series. I whole heartedly enjoyed the first 10-15 eps.
Would love a long outro on the final episode with pan shots
I can't believe Jimmy is a Jayhawk. Of all the universities he could have gone to, he went to my rivals. SMH my head
I loved the long intros 💔
I guess this question isn't really production related but more about the gameplay side of things, but how has playing the By Release account made you feel about Ironman accounts in general?

You doing great 🥰

Personally I really like it because it contributes to the feel that this series is a throwback to when things weren't refined/clean in MMOs, but I'm curious if that's what you were actually thinking as well.
Hey on your songs do you compose them from scratch, or do you use existing songs Weird Al Yankovic style?
Aye jimbob, I'm curious about your setup. I want to make my own videos one day. What capture card do you use/recommend? As a fan of sound do you use a mixer for your microphone and audio? What mic do you use? (It sounds great!) Do you record video on a camera or webcam? Thanks for the laughs, never stop being yourself bub.
Do you have any rappers/musicians that you feel like influenced your music? I swear Bones gets stuck in my head at least once a month

What audio plugins did you buy and use and what do each of them do that stocks don't?
Jim, as a long-time aspiring wannabe Runescape YTer and musician, how exactly does your process for writing, recording, and mastering your songs go? I'm a self taught drummer and producer and hearing the Recipe for Disaster song blew my mind.
Hey Jim, just finished watching the episode. One question, how ya feeling man? Hope you've been well irl ❤️
Are you using an AV script or screenplay format when you write?
What’s your plan once you finish all the quests?
I’m from Lawrence and I’m just curious are you also or did you just like KU’s program?
Amazing. 6k views and only 1 dislike! J1mmy has an amazing community!
So what are you gonna do when you have to do client of kourend, because they retroactively made the clue scroll one with veos a req for it which means continuity is broken
speaking of learning a new premiere trick every week, you can make a preset of the transform effect that you can just drop onto any clip and get the same zoom settings every time. No need to control C + control Z like you mention at 7:35
just saw this and funny enough, troh taught me that the other day!! it’s crazy how often new things/tricks pop up on premiere
@@J1mmy ayy nice! Rimworld video was great btw :]
Hey jim what's up with not playing on fixed? Smh...
YO HOLD UP ROCK CHALK KS BOIS
ROCK CHALK BABYYYYYY
Hey big dawg, you gotta take some time to yourself. Can’t enjoy your continent if you aren’t enjoying making it. Take your time, and we’ll be waiting for your return.
As someone who is doing Film and Writing at University, that book might be a godsend. Also, least someone has put our useless degree to good use 🤣
j1mmy, i see you
Love this stuff thanks!!
Why is 9rain so good looking? And is he a Wheel of time fan? I ask him every video of his, but he never answers haha
Are you from Kansas originally?
I had no idea you were a jayhawk! Rock chalk
Oh shit you went to KU too? Weird to think I probably ran into you before I even played runescape
Same here, went to KU and knew there was an underlying reason why I felt so connected to the J1mmy
Are you just burnt out on runescape, or just videos in general?
I liked the intros
Funny you say you got negative feedback about that intro. I thought it was fantastic even after seeing it a few times.
How do you feel about the whole concept of parasocial relationships? Lots of people see you and your content as if they actually are actually engaging with you, wonder how that feels for you (except unreal) on your part. Wish you all the best and good fortune
It really seems like people are starting to fall off of this game lately… can’t blame them, I’m finding myself in the same boat just burnt on the same content over and over. Hope you take some time for yourself and figure out what you want to do, either way you have fans that will support you in content other than RuneScape. Can’t wait for the 007 video 😂
Once you finish all of the quests in OSRS; any interest in doing the same for RS3?
Ok I got a question for you J1m, How the hell are you doing King?
