Sammy Knight

**Sammy Knight** is a soon-to-be-retired Plotagonist who was first a regular YouTube channel started on March 9, 2013. His first Plotagon video was published on May 26, 2018. In the modern era, he is famous for his feature films, namely *Dead Trigger* and *Dead Trigger II*.

## Beginnings

Knight's channel was first formed on March 9, 2013, when he was about two months away from becoming 10 years old. His first video, "Lego Wipeout Qualifier Round 1", was posted on May 17, 2013, based on the ABC TV show, inspired by other YouTubers that have made similar types of videos. Thus started his line of "Lego Wipeout" videos that were posted on his channel from that day until March 12, 2016, and then a short-lived revival called "Lego Wipeout Extra" on June 11, 2018.

After the Lego Wipeout frenzy was done, Knight made the series "Lego 101 Ways to Leave a Gameshow", which was also based on an ABC gameshow and inspired by other YouTubers that have made these types of videos. The series went from April 18, 2016 to September 5, 2017. He has made plenty of other Lego videos within this time, but the time he spends making them has diminished with his Plotagon career beginning. The last Lego video he made was posted on October 20, 2018.

Knight has also made Let's Plays on his channel, which started on July 18, 2013. This type of content did not diminish like his Lego videos. He still makes Let's Plays in the modern era, though not as often due to his Plotagon career.

## Plotagon Career

Knight posted his first Plotagon video on May 26, 2018. The video featured Knight's Plotagon avatar alongside Chrissy the Custom Character, who introduces him to the three-dimensional app that he would be using for a long time. Overtime, Knight garnered a new fanbase with the short plots and feature films he has posted. His first attempt at creating a true film was a 37-minute project called "The Devil's Attack!" His true first feature was a science-fiction fantasy titled *Cosmopolis*, released on March 23, 2019, Even upon its release, the film was not well received, with currently 10 likes and 18 dislikes. His next project, *Dead Trigger*, released on October 24, 2019, received positive reviews and fans started to see him as one of the great Plotagon filmmakers alongside DBG Channel and Jackster Does Plotagon. The film's success allowed for a sequel on October 3, 2020. *Dead Trigger II* was a critical hit, deemed to be superior to its predecessor. Between the release of both films, Knight released *A Distant Fantasy* on March 20, 2020, which received a lukewarm response. Knight's latest film, *Streets of Rage*, which was based upon Sega's video game, was released on March 13, 2021 to a mostly positive response. On February 27, 2021, Knight has announced the coming of *Life Expectancy*, based upon Dean Koontz's suspense novel, and a preview was made public the day after *Streets of Rage* premiered.

In July 2022, Sammy announced that he plans to retire from Plotagon, with the hopes to eventually make live-action movies (similar to that of fellow user DBG Channel [Aaron M. Thompson]).

After the premiere of *Dead Trigger*, Knight announced what would have been his next film, *The Penny Dreadfuls*, which was based on a play written by Ray Sheers. The film's production was cancelled on November 27, 2019 due to updates made to Plotagon Story that did not allow the change in voice pitch (an issue that was eventually fixed late April 2020). Whatever footage of the film was completed was posted to YouTube on January 4, 2020. He did not touch upon anything related to the film until he released a video with hypothetical opening titles to the film in the style of a mid-twentieth century film.
