Mini Primetime was a limited run short series on YouTube featuring Will Friedle teaching the cast and friend-of-the-show Babs Tarr how to paint miniatures. Each episode focused on a specific technique, including fades, small detail work, and creating a unique base.^[1]

Lists of the paints and other supplies recommended by Ian were put out for every episode and can be found at critrole.com.

On 4 August 2020, Critical Role aired Mini Primetime: After Dark, a compilation of footage of the painting process by Ian Phillips that was only partially shown in the episodes. Rolled into one video backed by smooth music, it showcased the process for each figure from start to finish.
