B- Mask

Will (birthday: April 28)https://twitter.com/B_Mask_/status/1519820412758204419, better known online as B- Mask, is a English reviewer and YouTuber from the United Kingdom who analyzes video games as well as TV and film very occasionally, in a series he hosts called Beyond Pictures. He created his channel in 2008 and created videos on it, though he erased them off his channel before restarting his channel in 2015. He was also a member of Cheshire Cat Studios Video Podcast between 2012 to 2015.
==Early YouTube==
According to his video "My Embarrassing Old Videos"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t7oFHObBWs, B-Mask originally joined YouTube in 2008 under the username "Fearmasterscarecrow" where he would do reviews in character of the Batman villain Scarecrow using still images from "Batman the Animated Series" due to him being a fan of the Batman series. These were taken down sometime after 2020. B-Mask would make another channel in the current user name later in December of that year. During that time, he was a fan of Crash Bandicoot and also a passion of stop motion animation thanks to his father buying Lego sets. B-Mask did a few stop motion videos until he created a series of videos called "Cortex N Chums" that focuses on the villains of the games. It was originally a project for school, which B-Mask got an "A" for.
B-Mask would later join forums related to Crash Bandicoot and met a few users who would later become his friends. After hanging around with his new friends in the forums, B-Mask would later create a new stop motion series related to the series called "CMTV". It was a sketch show that would feature himself as Bandicoot mask (hence the name "B-Mask") and other members of the forums that he made out of plasticine. He describes it as "The Muppets" for Crash Banicoot fans.
==Cheshire Cat Studios==
B-Mask would later join the channel Cheshire Cat Studios, which served as a podcast round table where members would discuss various entertainment topics. During that time, B-Mask transitioned from animations to essay videos that he would plug into the Cheshire Cat Studios channel, which they were sometimes called "Beyond Pictures". However, he left the channel sometime between 2014-2015. According to founding member CineMax21 in "All Your Questions Answered - CCS Q&A Video"https://youtu.be/-4OlNXwtmiQ?si=V75A9mkjde_Lm3Zt&t=248, B-Mask left the channel to pursue a career in animation. Though this was untrue as B-Mask stated in "My Embarrassing Old Videos" that gave up on animation as it was time consuming than it used to be during his teenager years. Instead, he went onto doing video essays that he started doing since his tenure with the podcast.
==Channel Overview==
The main series on Will's channel is Beyond Pictures, a collection of analytical videos on storytelling in all forms of entertainment. This can range from critiquing the way a video game is presented, to the way an old story or character is interpreted in different mediums, to a retrospective look at how a show developed over the years. He even tries some experimental stuff. All in an attempt to go beyond the surface of what you see in a story.
