Hope you have a good weekend!  Wanted to share someone new!  All the best and more soon.

We have a new release and a new costume for May!  I hope you've seen the teaser image already of the new costume but now it's available in living color.  Like last time I'm releasing two sets.  The regular one includes all the best images.  The "supporter level" includes the same best images, plus a bunch of extras, and several photo manipulation edits.  I hope everyone enjoys this one!  It was fun to shoot, the costume turned out far better than I expected, and Bella sells the character!

The poll from my last blog post was split in half between those who just wanted me to release what I had right away and those who wanted a few more manipulations added to the set.  Some also commented they would buy both if I staggered the release.  While I appreciate that offer of support I didn't feel right doing that so I went ahead and did the extra manipulations.

There were also some people that prefer videos (I do too!!!)  So what about videos?  I don't have any shot I can edit at the moment.  I was waiting for warmer weather then the pandemic hit.  So let's talk about each active actress:

Ashley:  Unfortunately Ashley was not able to travel in April like she wanted so we could not shoot.  We'll see what happens as things open up.  We don't have anything specific scheduled right now but she's going to reach out when she has plans.

Michaela:  We had filming scheduled and a flight booked in early June but complications from the pandemic and life in general made things difficult so we had to indefinitely postpone that.  I now have a credit in her name only on a major airline so you can expect I'll try to find a new time!  Ha!  I think Michaela was really excited about her physical "gains" and was enthusiastic to share them in costume and character but the gym shutdowns and stresses of the pandemic hit hard.  I know she'll bounce back - she's always super.

Bella: We had plans to film again taking precautions but then a state wide "stay at home unless essential" order came down from the Governor the Friday before the weekend we were going to shoot.  We did the right thing and respected the order.  We spoke early this week and plan to give it two weeks to see how things go now that things are opening back up before we open back up our "circles."

I'm also keeping an eye out for new heroines.

I have migrated away from Paypal to Square as PSW's payment processor.  This has made the checkout process much shorter with less pop ups and redirects.  Part of why the last photo set took so long was that my free time was burned up struggling with a Paypal bug that was causing a lot of people to enter all their info only for the order not to be processed.  I was done with being on hold with the two parties involved in a back and forth so here we are.  If you have any problems please let me know!

Thanks to you!  Your support makes all this possible!

I have two photo sets I've been doing some photo manipulations for.  What I'm struggling with is how many manips to do before I release the sets.  Right now each set has 90-100 images and 4-5 photo-manipulations to go with each.  What do you think:

The Evil Bella Photoshoot was mostly photo focused but I did sneak in some video for the jail break mini and also had a camera running for some behind the scenes footage like this.  The video camera angle was not idea but it's still fun to share.

Next up is probably a peek at the other theme we did during this shoot.  I've got two photo manipulations done for that photo set and five manipulations for a Bella as Mindy Marvel photo set.  I'd like to have several more done before I release the two sets.

Bella and I had planned to shoot again today - something more uplifting and fun.  We had plans to not touch the bagged uniforms and stay six feet part but over the weekend a tighter distancing order came down from the state governor that we decided to take to the letter.  We'll see what the coming weeks bring.  Stay or get well everyone!

We’re trying something new at PSW.  The Dark Bella Photoshoot comes in two level packages:

• Dark Bella 03-2020 Photoshoot:  60 of the best images from our photo set.
• Dark Bella 03-2020 Supporter Level Package:  60 of the best images from our photo set plus 55 more images.  Maybe the pose was similar, maybe the focus was just a bit soft, these are still good images but not the best.  This is for the follower that wishes they could see *every* picture from a photo set.  The ones I wouldn’t normally release in the past.  You’ll also receive a 20 second mini video called “Bella Jail Break.”
  

Where to begin?  How about some bullet point news:

Model News:

• I've got Michaela booked for a long weekend of filming late spring!
• Ashley and I are chatting about doing a quick session in April!
• Bella and I are going to find an evening to try out some new costumes I just got from a new seamstress soon!  It's going to be very cool!

Costume News:

• Those two new costumes are going to be fun.  One is a twist on a fan favorite the other is one is a character you've never seen on ProjectSuperWoman before but fits the style of character I like.
  
• One major supplier of PSW costumes is going out of business soon.  I just stocked up as best as I could afford.  The costumes are not inexpensive, and shipping is not fast with customs at the border, but they are really good costumes.  I'd encourage you to also stock up if you can.  www.actioncostumes.com  Let them know I sent you!  They did the costume for Super Ashley Rescue and it's amazing.
  

Anything else?

• I'm hip deep in developing story ideas for all our filming activity to come soon.
• I've learned when you find a good costume maker to get a couple because costumes wear out or get damaged and they make or break the look so I've had to stretch budgets a bit but I'm figuring out how to keep the more cinematic look of Mindy Marvel Lost Souls going.  It takes more time and budget but I think it's worth it.
• It has been a very busy time at my day job and real life after hours so my time is limited  but I'm keeping things moving forward.
  

Thanks-you as always for your support, orders, comments, and e-mailed notes!

I had some more found footage I was playing with and wanted to share the end result.  It's from an old DV camera so the quality is low and the edit was quick but why not share the results, right?

Maybe you thought we were out of superheroine content?  Not so fast!  I like to keep something up my sleeve at all times. 

• First, I've got one more photo set of Bella as Mindy Marvel to release.  I'll tease that in the next week(s). 
• I'm back to experimenting with VFX to see what I can pull off.  A bad guy's car crumpled around an invulnerable superheroine?  That sounds very PSW.
• I've got some new things being shipped to spice things up.
• I'm setting up some new shoots both in the near term and for when warmer weather happens.  I've got sticky notes all over the place with ideas.  Now I'm just trying to get them sorted into several somethings co-cohesive.
  

Keep checking back for blog updates and some request for feedback!  As always thank-you for your ongoing support!
