Call me R. L.
STEIN because I got a Triple Header for your amusement and general information. Today the Qiwi Historical Society gathers for a trip down memory lane with some understated Quinton pieces of lore that we never talked about for a variety of reasons.
Blue Gem 'Not Lapis Lazuli' Muslim Queen invites you to come and enjoy the Quintonoise.
But first.
TL; DW (a short shouldn't be four and half minutes): Quinton uses his New Year's sharing that he fears his Fallen Titans on Internet Animation is the reason Dom Fera deleted The Lazer Collection and Tomska said mean things about the video. The Fera thing is somewhat funny because Quinton himself deleted a bunch of videos for the same reason Fera did, they didn't represent the brand anymore and garnered the wrong attention.
First Feature:
Years ago I made a post talking about Q's real filmmaking exploits and comparing them viewwise. Turns out I forgot this one and I never really checked it out until today.
Originally titled ' The Spaceship (201

'.* The titular spaceship looms over Versailles, KY and most of the footage are the reactions of people I assume were Q's friends from his media class days. Only the final scene at a Waffle House has any dialogue. If you ever made a short film with your mates, you have seen this one.

Waffle House has always been a very interesting part of Q's lore and location speculation, as they are primarily a Southern breakfast joint and they have no location in Iowa, where most of Q's fans may get the idea he is located. This short film iirc was intended or retroactively became an ode to this particular location, which was closed several years ago and in all likelihood was in KY.
Second Feature:
This one is something that we did discuss when it came out and I did include in my viewcount breakdown but I'm writing it because unlike Domingo, The Spanish Spaceship (201

(720p) Q credited everyone so you can learn the names of his friends.
Triple Feature:
And now, for the actual tease I left in my last post. A month ago Q was streaming and dedicated a segment to a retrospective on Quinton Leap, a short film he made in high school and that became the subject of the first Internet Historian' In The Field to have guests*, a video that has been expunged from IH canon and archived here.
Since this one's way longer than anything else in this post by a country mile I'm going to tell you what happens.
The first 12 minutes is just giving context, not about the short, but how his media class was. Quinton Leap was made into segments because every skit the media class made was 3 minutes tops, so he divided it into segments. It's filled with references to reels made by other students including the class' catchphrase about going to a Chinese buffet that only Quinton incorporated into his story. Quinton recognizes he came off as a pretentious prick back then about his technical prowess, he describes himself as a lone wolf when compared to how the rest of the class was organized in cliques. He namedrops three guys as the funny cool kids but only two matter: Brad, who appears in the Breaking Bad parody and Esteban, who told Q to his face he hated his guts. Later in the video Brad has a line and Q explains that most of his adlibs were offensive. Quinton was allowed to take this class for two years for some reason he doesn't know.

Pictured: The three guys Q talked about (Brad, Esteban and the other one whose name I forgot) and describes as 'comedy legends'. Brad is the one in the middle, Esteban is the one in the right.
The reason he streamed at that date was for this. He then says that the joke was that the VCR was one hour ahead so it doesn't make sense.
Quinton's acting is cheesy even for a Canadian kid sitcoms from the 90's, most of the cast is able to read the lines he presumably wrote with more fluency even if they remain pretty stiff. His directing is a little more ambitious as there was a special attention on getting the specific vibe of distinct eras, like how the effects of himself being electrocuted look. Q meant to open the first segment with 'A Day in The Life' in reverse. Q used footage from 1992 and there's this sequence when he rotoscopes himself, frame-by-frame, with GIMP on footage filmed with a VCR camera. Apparently he wrecked two VCR cameras during the filming of Quinton Leap. He bought a VHS font that later could be obtained by free.
He included one of the school's principals on the short and forced the three wise guys to adlib how much they hated her. They all come off as better actors than Q, even the principal does. After they read the note they just start to improvise whatever about how they don't believe Q is gone.




Same energy. Quinton is stuck in 1992 and about to graduate high school under the alias Clinton Clyde Hooper. He heads the media department and recieves the VCR that sent him to 1992 from a guy that is played by one of his mates and dubbed over by a teacher named Mr. Mastin. Q describes Mr. Mastin as intimidating, still has nightmares about him, and that they had a rift so Mr. Mastin refused to ever work with Q. I want you to understand that Q is interacting with a character that by design is being dubbed that still comes off more organically than him, since Q ADR'd himself but his mouth doesn't match as well as the other guy. Q wrote himself as dismissive to the teacher that he admits fearing after said teacher builds a time machine out of a VCR.
Quinton returns to current year and nobody gives a fuck. He fucks off to the China Buffet to eat french fries and cruttons. That's a joke.

There's an after credits scene referencing Back to the Future when we see this car teleport as a PNG because Q didn't ask his dad to move it. Q used to sneak BTTF jokes on everything and Brad (who is in this frame) told him he was a hack.
If you don't want to sit through the whole thing you can jump to the 40:00 mark since Q just goes unfiltered and brings us full circle.
Q says that he wanted to be a filmmaker but was never good at it, might give it another shot soon. Quinton Leap is by far the most coherent thing he ever wrote and treasures the experience for hanging with the boys even though only Brad liked him.
He talks a bit about Quinton Reviews: The Movie, about how it only has 30k views and how it started as a statement about how lore movies suck but he started to enjoy the process.
Ofc it can't be a Quinton made anything without a pity party at the end all while singing the praises of Internet Comment Etiquette and how he has massive trust issues he thinks are justified, he also thinks highly of Internet Today and ScottTheWoz. So he speaks highly of two big established creators that every couple of months tell him how great he is and a Reddit tier news show he watches everyday.
Based on Q's behaviour throughout the years I can't help but to come to the conclussion that Q was forcing himself into a clique and Esteban simply called him out.
So, there's another piece of Quinton media released in the last month I was meant to review but the post is too long as it is. See you next time.
* The short film will show either as The Spaceship (201

or Domingo.
* IH's In The Field had 3 phases: The first few episodes without guests, when he had guests and the last couple of episodes before the show was replaced by Comfy Incognitos. Quinton was the first guest.
