Also, let's all marvel at the technical know-how that went into this. The tracking of all those little green screens so the villains appeared properly in their portraits in the background -- *chef's kiss* PattyCake is Layne and Tony, with some help from Kathy. They hire in performers, camera operators, makeup artists, sometimes costume help (Tony makes them), and anything special they need for a shoot. Oh, and they write all the songs, too.
The guard starring at the Maleficent picture was like ok Slay girl Slay. This was amazing haven’t checked out PattyCake Production, but now the door has opened up
Missed the premiere because life got in the way, but I am glad I went back and watched it later. Pattycake is totally unbelievable and never disappoints. The only question that remains...is Dylan now a villain? Enquiring minds want to know!
For a different Pattycake video I’d recommend “Girls like these” and the BTS for it (it’s available on TH-cam). Tony and Layne are so creative and create masterpieces.
This is my top favorite Pattycake Productions video. Followed by Bump In The Night and Villains Lair series. Tough love is a video in series 1 of Villains Lair. What Goes Around Comes Around is season 1 episode 1 of the series. I think Tough Love is episode 2. Or close to it. The series has so many awesome episodes. And you should definitely do them in order as it is an on going story. Please do more of the series. I'm so glad you did this one. It's not a part of the series and was just released 2 years ago but definitely could be. The characters are more like the animated characters. Their makeup artist Rick Underwood is fantastic. By the way.... Pattycake is owned by both Tony and Layne. They both do the screenwriting and write the music and songs and production. Tony makes all the costumes. Directing, puppeteering and other behind the scenes stuff like that. Layne is the camera guy, editing, and other things like that. These 2 have been doing this since 2016 right before Tony left to go behind the scenes. And yes. They rent out their studio to other artists as well.
3 months ago Pattycake got a contract with the company that creates the video game Genshin Impact. They had to create a new video and song for their newest version of the game featuring 3 of the villains. You're The One With The Problem. They released it on TH-cam Friday. It is absolutely fantastic. I can't get enough listening to it.
I’m glad you realized that these are all live action villains. The Villains Lair series is all villains from animation. You mentioned the costumes. Tony does almost all their costumes. You also mentioned how well the special effects were done. Here’s something that never occurred to me before they told us about it - the fireball was added in post. But how did they get the light from it to reflect correctly on the actress? (Hint - it wasn’t done in post. ) Layne always likes to challenge himself with learning some new skill with each video. For this one it was something I would have just accepted without even questioning how they did it. It’s easy to green screen the portrait areas and tuck in a video when it’s head on. But how do you do that when the prospective of the moving portrait is at an angle? Pattycake’s monthly zoom chats are fun AND informative and well worth the Patreon cost. Some months (actually most months) you may get a Tony rant, but mostly you get tales of them working on videos. Like a litany of injuries incurred setting up their current Villians Lair set. (Imagine Layne pushing Tony chest first into a barbed wire fence- and that wasn’t the worst injury!). Or like tales of Tony attaching thousands of Swarovski crystals on Cinderella’s outer skirt.
Ok, so, first off...Pattycake are basically two people. Layne Stein and Tony Wakim. All music and lyrics are done by them. All costumes are done by Tony. Everything is done by the two of them, except for the people they hire for the characters (Gaston in this is the same guy who plays Gaston in all their Villains Lair stuff...in fact I believe they get the same actors all the way through if/when they can) or for Makeup. Pattycake have a studio (the same place where VoicePlay film...yes, almost all VP videos are filmed at Pattycake) just outside Orlando...actually, it's in the shopping mall that VP sometimes film in...LOL There are three types of Pattycake videos - their covers (some are FANTASTIC but none are as good as their originals) which are usually Unexpected Musicals like "Will of Oz", "The Grande Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Bieber"; their Villains Lair series (absolute bangers every single one but "Born Bad" and "That's All" are my favourites); and their other original songs like their Disney Evolutions and the Princess Academy. Honestly, pick any song...you really can't go wrong! LOL Thank you so much Carrie for getting this amazing song in front of DJ! Absolutely an amazing choice! And thank you DJ for enjoying one of the best Villain Era songs EVER! #HerdLove
Regina/Evil Queen - Once Upon A Time Maleficent - Maleficent Jafar - Aladdin Lady Tremaine - Cinderella Cruella DeVil - 101 Dalmatians (not to be confused with Cruella) Captain Hook - Hook (not Peter Pan) Queen Narissa - Enchanted Theodora/Wicked Witch of the West - Oz the Great and Powerful (not Wizard Of Oz) Red Queen (of Hearts) - Alice in Wonderland Gaston - Beauty and the Beast Audrey - Descendants 3 White Witch - Chronicles of Narnia
Those are definitely the live action versions of these characters; I'm pretty sure that Captain Hook is meant to be Dustin Hoffman's from Hook, and the Cruella DeVil is the Glenn Close version.
Geoff Castellucci just dropped don’t mess around with Jim and you are going to die when you see it first of all there’s five of them they all look OMG and sings like an angel. You have to cover it immediately.
The Unexpected Musicals are great early videos telling a story with one singer's songs like SNOW SPEARS AND THE SEVEN DWARFS- Britney Spears several of those to choose from. Patty Cake Productions is still just Tony and Layne doing their wonderfully talented things.
Hey Man! Thanks for such kind words! We appreciate it!

I've never run into Pattycake before, but this was incredible! Thank you so much for reacting to it! :D

Omg go and listen to tough love!! It's amazing
That throwback at the end? It's the same set as VoicePlay's cover of Hide and Seek!!!
Missed the premiere because life got in the way, but I am glad I went back and watched it later. Pattycake is totally unbelievable and never disappoints. The only question that remains...is Dylan now a villain? Enquiring minds want to know!
Tony and Layne are brilliant

Do check out PCP's "Harry Potter Musical (The Boy Who Lived)" -- it's a stubbing piece of music!

Cruella looks like Phyllis Diller.

I loved the piano pick up in the wilderness story too.
@@Denalicat That was a good story. And even though their video got delayed and we won’t see it until fall, Geoff got to use it for Jack’s Lament!

There are three types of Pattycake videos - their covers (some are FANTASTIC but none are as good as their originals) which are usually Unexpected Musicals like "Will of Oz", "The Grande Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Bieber"; their Villains Lair series (absolute bangers every single one but "Born Bad" and "That's All" are my favourites); and their other original songs like their Disney Evolutions and the Princess Academy. Honestly, pick any song...you really can't go wrong! LOL
Thank you so much Carrie for getting this amazing song in front of DJ! Absolutely an amazing choice!
And thank you DJ for enjoying one of the best Villain Era songs EVER! #HerdLove
Born Bad is a favorite of mine too. But is based on the live action movie, so not part of Villains Lair.
@@Wildecat10 One of my faves, too! And what an '80s vibe!
Regina/Evil Queen - Once Upon A Time
Maleficent - Maleficent
Jafar - Aladdin
Lady Tremaine - Cinderella
Cruella DeVil - 101 Dalmatians (not to be confused with Cruella)
Captain Hook - Hook (not Peter Pan)
Queen Narissa - Enchanted
Theodora/Wicked Witch of the West - Oz the Great and Powerful (not Wizard Of Oz)
Red Queen (of Hearts) - Alice in Wonderland
Gaston - Beauty and the Beast
Audrey - Descendants 3
White Witch - Chronicles of Narnia
More PattyCake most welcome.
Those are definitely the live action versions of these characters; I'm pretty sure that Captain Hook is meant to be Dustin Hoffman's from Hook, and the Cruella DeVil is the Glenn Close version.
Yeah, and Evil Queen is definitely Lana Parilla's Evil Queen from Once Upon a Time. The character designs are amazing.
Pattycake Productions is the best!
Geoff Castellucci just dropped don’t mess around with Jim and you are going to die when you see it first of all there’s five of them they all look OMG and sings like an angel. You have to cover it immediately.
Totally agree. What's better than I Geoff? 5 Geoffs all dressed in black jeans and a black tank top looking all buff 😊
My friend from my days at Disney Michelle K. is the evil queen. Everyone involved with Patty Cake is truly amazing!
The Unexpected Musicals are great early videos telling a story with one singer's songs like SNOW SPEARS AND THE SEVEN DWARFS- Britney Spears several of those to choose from. Patty Cake Productions is still just Tony and Layne doing their wonderfully talented things.
Hopefully you react to all of villains lair it's so goood❤😊
