Cara's Career in Videos
"What I See" (Official Music Video) - Field Trip: A Science Fiction Musical by Cara Rizzi Richman
In January 2019, I began work on my original musical, "Field Trip: The Musical." The first song I wrote for the musical was "What I See." A shortened version was used in the Playfest Edition.
In October 2023, Cara started a content creation class where she was assigned to create a piece of original content. This proof-of-concept music video, which she released publicly in February 2024, was the result.
Song description: Carmen Ellis Faye is a child genius when it comes to computers, but when it comes to making friends, she greatly struggles to the point where she isolated herself from everyone else. However, when a kind boy named Adam welcomes her into his friend group, she begins to develop feelings for him. Will she be able to confess her feelings to her love?

Bygones - A Short Film by Cara Rizzi Richman

Emmy (Cara) just wants a normal date with her partner, Sidney (Michele). Blake (Karsen) also wants a normal date with his boyfriend, Preston (Dante). And unfortunately, they all have way more than that in common.

Outrunning Nightmares - A Dream SMP Short Film (Starring TicTac Cara as c!TommyInnit)
In December 2021, Cara returned home from college for winter break, gathered several fellow cosplayers into one place, and said, "I can't stop thinking about that one scene from TommyInnit's Dream SMP livestream on November 28th. Let's recreate it in real life." So, after lots of planning, rehearsals, and road trips up north, they did it.
Dream (Arunanim) has just escaped prison, and Tommy (TicTac Cara)- the most frequent victim of Dream's crimes- rushes to the place he was previously exiled, searching for a valuable axe he had buried there months before to use as a safety net. However, when he arrives there, he finds something far more sinister...
L'ManPanel - A Cosplay Panel Inspired by the Dream SMP (Hosted by TicTac Cara)
On September 3rd, 2021, Cara hosted a Dream SMP-inspired cosplay panel at Saboten Con and invited several talented cosplayers to join her. This was not her first panel experience, but it was her first time hosting one. It was a daunting experience, but it turned out to be so much fun. After the panel ended, Cara had the cinematographer, Vanity Project Productions, send her the footage they recorded, and Cara edited it all herself and posted it on her YouTube channel just for fun. It turns out, however, that people really loved the idea of a Dream SMP cosplay panel. The video went pretty viral, and it now sits at over 200,000 views on YouTube.
"Hey Minecraft enthusiasts! I heard there was a special place... where you can meet the characters of the Dream SMP! Grab your wither skulls and music discs, and come on down for an hour of Q&A, lore discussion, and more! It's going to be pretty poggers!"
L'ManPanel: The Revival - A Cosplay Panel Inspired by the Dream SMP (Hosted by TicTac Cara)
On September 3rd, 2022, exactly a year after the first L'ManPanel, Cara was given the opportunity to host a sequel panel at Saboten Con 2022. This time around, it was filmed on a tripod and edited by EllieWishes, who then sent Cara the footage to upload to my channel. While this panel didn't get quite as much attention as the original, Cara has no regrets doing it as it was a lot of fun to host another panel.
"Hello again, Minecraft enthusiasts! Do you like the Dream SMP? Did you enjoy last year's L'ManPanel? Well, rumor has it that Dream's infamous revival book doesn't only work on people; he brought L'ManPanel back from the dead! Come on down for an hour of Q&A, lore discussion, and more with all of your favorite Dream SMP characters! It's going to be pretty poggers!"
