Deerstalker Pictures is expanding the world of 1 For All with The Exorcism of Nixie, an approximately 50-minute production funded entirely by fans and shot with URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 and PYXIS 6K cameras.
The interesting story is the move from short online episodes to a longer narrative, with more character development and more demanding visual effects. Blackmagic presented the team’s work on October 2, 2026, describing its shooting choices and the contribution of DaVinci Resolve Studio to post-production.
From one sketch to 85 episodes
1 For All began in 2019 as a one-off sketch inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. Following the Awful Ones, a group of inept adventurers, it grew into an award-winning fantasy comedy with an international audience. At the time of the announcement, it had reached 85 episodes, including two musical episodes, as well as a music video, with almost 400 million views on YouTube alone.
Giving Nixie’s past room to unfold
The new production reveals the tragic backstory of Nixie, the group’s carefree pyromancer. Producer and director of photography Goldie Soetianto explains that the creators had been planting clues for years. The longer runtime now allows that story to develop alongside the series’ humour and characters.
Fan funding thus supports 1 For All’s first long-form narrative project. The format remains episodic: two parts of approximately 25 minutes rather than a single 50-minute screening. The October 2 announcement stated that part one was already available on Deerstalker Pictures’ channels.
A familiar URSA and a flexible second camera
Soetianto, an award-winning filmmaker based in Sydney, has used Blackmagic since the series began. Having already shot feature films with the URSA, she trusted her experience with the camera for the new project.
The URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 handled the main shooting duties. The PYXIS 6K served as an additional camera, particularly in tight multicamera setups and at less accessible locations with a small crew.
Lightning, fire and fixes needed in post
The new magical attacks included chain lightning, walls of fire and meteor storms. Soetianto links their execution to the cameras’ high resolution, high-frame-rate capabilities and integration with Resolve.
DaVinci Resolve Studio was used primarily for colour work, but also handled tasks supporting the VFX. Magic Mask helped remove modern objects from the frame. Cinematic Haze added a smoke effect when venue regulations ruled out a smoke machine, while additional lighting and glow effects provided more control over the image.
The announcement describes these AI tools as non-generative. Their use concerns processing the recorded footage and supporting the small visual-effects team.
What we think
For independent creators, this case is useful because it connects an audience willing to fund a production with a story prepared within the series itself. Technically, it illustrates the value of a familiar camera system and a second camera with a clear role, as well as the need to allow time for fixes in post-production. Without a published budget or detailed cost figures, however, we cannot quantify the savings the team achieved.
