I don't think stone needs to even advertise his streams on the front page. You guys just do it for him.

Being single is so strange. This is the first time I've been single for more than a month in years. Where the fuck did all this money come from? I bought pants, dinner, renewed my gym membership, and bought a new vape flavor. It barely even dented my funds. Is this what I've been missing? I'm fuckin loaded right now.


I wish I could agree, but for the two guy relationships I was ever in, I was the woman.

All this talk about the ladies of Stickpage yet on the other gender we only have Sacred (who's called that for a reason).


I'm called that because it's my username. But they call me Swagmaster Flex because of my overwhelming superiority.

Anyway, I'd like to ask everyone if they'd be interested in being updated on a film project I've been working on since June. We're releasing the first of six episodes tomorrow, so if you guys are interested, I can start up a thread. Here's a trailer:

I actually really like the way this looks right now. You guys made this?

Man, I couldn't do that in a whole lifetime. I so want to see how this is (Although I'd probably be slow to actually watch it).

I've been being single in my entire lifetime and I don't mind for that. Unless you're really the one who's seeking for relationship, I can still quite relate to your feeling there.

Did i just miss the rainbows?

Nah it's still there. Take a look at this post in particular and see if it finally satisfies your daily colorful needs

Not sure if people on IRC or those who subscribed his stream has a tendency to tell it in public. For example, I didn't know if he still streams nowadays because I (still) barely go to IRC, unless stone himself or some others do the advertisement.

Haven't watched Sacred's trailer though, will probably try to comment if I get into my PC. Though I feel like I should watch more films to fulfill my entertainment needs and all.

Just when you think you've seen it all, there's always some crazy hybrid newbie that comes along and wows you.

Dude you should take a screen shot of this post and look back on it in like 4-5 years.

I suppose you can still find him around IRC. He might still be there.

Judging strictly from this trailer, I have some things I really want to stress to make your productions seem less amateur-like.
1) GET. MORE. LIGHTS. Seriously, everything is underlit and needs significantly more lighting. Understand how light works. Learn how and when to mix different types of lightings, such as natural light vs synthetic.

2) Camera. Get a better camera guy or camera work. Learn how to incorporate dollys and pans to make things feel more smooth as opposed to everything feeling like a tripod shot or just a handheld camera. This can also be done in post, but learn when to maneuver the camera to make things feel more natural and less clunky. Learn how to white balance and how to expose all your shots in the correct way. Learn about colors and how important they are. This is a huge learning process and it's a big responsibility not only on the camera man, but also the director. This is really important.

3) Acting. The director should be telling these actors how to act their lines out. For instance, in scenes with high intensity, tension, or even emotion, don't let words and lines come out one at a time. Let there simultaneous speaking. People don't speak one at a time with exact pauses. Tell every actor to scream as loud for a good 5 seconds before having them act any lines. Don't be afraid of changes in volume. Every movement in that trailer felt unnatural. They shouldn't be making movements because it's in the script, but because these lines are now their mentality. It's their persona. They FEEL this way. They ARE this way. When there's tension, he shouldn't be tight because there is tension, he should be tight because he's scared. He should do all subtle movements that a person in a scared or tense situation makes. In fact, look at this for more advice on acting/line reading:

4) Makeup and wardrobe. First, throw more make up on the guys. The guys need make up. All of them. They look really inconsistent and flushed out, with weird shiny skin and creasing foreheads. Secondly, the wardrobe. The guys are all wearing like fuckin $5 plain T-shirts and gives the impression of being some college film. The women feel like they're dressing to impress and be ready for a real gig while the males seem like they recorded in what they were wearing to bed. Balance your visuals.

I'm sorry for being a critiquing asshole, but this is just some of the huge flaws I often see in new film directors and producers. It helps a lot to make these small changes.

Adding on to Externus's input:

I have no idea what it's about Sacred. I also had a somewhat hard time listening and understanding the narration because of the echo effect it had.

You should enroll into more classes if that's the case.
