Today's Video Release and Free Photo Set

2/4/2019

Today I’m pleased to announce the release of an exciting new video staring Michaela called “Choices”! We are also introducing Maria to the Project Super Woman universe for at least a three-story arch. While “Choices” serves as a satisfying standalone video we’ll see Maria’s character start to evolve in the next release. After a long hiatus from filming it was nice to dust off my production cobwebs before winter set in for us so we could get the ball rolling again at PSW. I hope you enjoy the fruits of our labors.

A few months ago I was reminded in a conversation with some fans about why I started doing editing to begin with. Our videos take a lot of resources and are our main draw. I’ve used photo set revenue to buy a prop or a tool here and there, but it doesn’t move the needle much so I’m going to try out just giving these away as a thank-you to the community going forward. Very often photo sets come from times when we feel like we need to “warm up” being in costume, or we wrap a little early on a video, or we see something while driving we can interact with that is just too good to pass up. Please add to your cart for free “Something New Part Two” a photo set with 30 fun posed modeling images.

Regarding “Choices” I do have one question: I had the option to release the video as a 162 MB file that showed some digital artifacts on scene transitions or as the 527 MB crisp but very large file I went with. What is your vote? Larger files can create download and storage problems (half a gig for 7 minutes seems large but I can’t seem to hit a better quality/size balance) but I hate to go back to the semi pixelated days of “A Super Workout” as much as it made FX editing easier. :^)

I voted Blu-Ray but am happy with 500MB or higher, my 4K screen cries with any lower!

I absolutely LOVE the new site, and the direction you're taking it. You are the best superheroine site out there now. The Steeles are gone, HeavenlyHeroines has gone due to Chris sadly passing away, and Jon X with Superheroines.net, hah, don't get me started, he's just completely lost the plot, trying to rip people off with re-releasing 2007 content, stretching and upscaling already poor quality content and charging $19 per set! All his fans have told him time and time again, we got sick of it, he thought a new site would fix the problem. Nope.

You have got the balance perfect. Beautiful ladies, perfect costumes, high resolution sharp images (sometimes a little blurry, but that's your camera autofocus points AFAIK, my Nikon D3400 gets it wrong sometimes and I need to read the manual).

And, unlike Jon X, you're not scared to use the genuine "S" crest of Krypton, he just uses a star diamond logo, which is unauthentic. I'm in undying love with Ashley and Michaela as you'll know from my emails, you keep my love flying with all the high res photos of them.

I'd love to do monthly donations to help you out and keep you running. From a fellow photographer and superheroine lover. You have the skills and the kind nature to keep me coming back forever, and I'm sure other fans of the lovely blonde super-bombshells Ash and Mic would agree!

Thank-you SuperJames! I can't thank-you enough for your steadfast support.

I've been sad to see some sites struggle, fortunately others have been raising the bar and it has pushed me which is certainly for the best.

Soft focus - it just kills me when I do it and see it. I have to admit I get rusty with still photography quickly and it shows. I felt like with "Primary Colors" featuring Ashley I hit my stride and then lost it again.

Thank-you for the offer of donation support! When the time is right if there is a need I might reach out to you and the community.

PSW,

Please don't stop doing the photosets. I live for Ashley and Michaela in their blues and yellows. I would personally say Primary Colours was the best quality set you did up to that point, and you've exceeded that since. Is there any chance you could redo that set of Ashley on the green-screen in the 80's costume (Amazing Ashley Photoshoot II) you did in 2010 (?) that was blurred?

I would personally be happy to pay more per set, say $10 rather than you just do the photos for free, or god forbid decide to stop doing them altogether (please don't do this), because they make gorgeous wallpapers!

And if you could do them I have ideas for custom photosets, if the girls are still available, and for these I'd be willing to pay $50 or more for commissioning. I still have videos and Daubster sets to purchase yet, so there's more money coming your way in the near future. Where is Daubster, by the way? He's gone quite quiet!

Hi SuperJames -

I'll look into that 2010 photo shoot and see what I can do. I agree Primary Colors was a high water mark for my photography.

I'll keep in mind that you like having wallpapers! We'll not stop doing photo sets. I'll also give some thought to what I charge. Maybe I could do a smaller set as a "give away" and a more expensive larger set for the people that want to provide support.

Daubster has gone very quiet. He's not responded to e-mails in a while. He gets very busy from time to time - I hope to see him make a come back.

I'll let everyone know as we get closer to filming again (late spring) to see if people have story ideas.

No trailers are unacceptable. Your videos are very reasonably priced, however, I would still like to see a preview. Photo stills are not enough.

Hi Angryman - it's a good point that stills can't do our work justice. For this one I have an idea for a good trailer that doesn't spoil everything. I'll see what I can put together - or if I get distracted by the shiny object of wrapping up the next installment. :^)

I loved that this video was so clear... It was so nice to see it without the pixels...lol Love the story so far and waiting for part 2 already.. Been buying your videos and pics for a long time and never disappointed..

Thank-you for your ongoing support Norm! I love the crisp video as well. Part 2 is in progress. Just need to do the sound, titles, and maybe do a quick change-up on an FX scene or two to improve them.

When can we see the next part ???

3/4/2019 02:04:58 pm

Hi JPM - The SFX editing is done on the next two parts. I'm actively adding sound FX. I'm looking at if I'd like to release these as one big 10 minute release and a mini vignette, two six minute releases, or two five minute releases and a mini vignette.

I'm leaning towards doing two six minute releases at the same time so I can keep my traditional pricing but not worry about dragging out the story conclusion.

Thanks for the update
I prefer a big 10 minute release...but is your decision of course
I really hope you release it as soon as possible

I think I would like the 2 six minutes releases … The downloads are easier for my computer... but whatever you decide how to do it would be great.... Thanks
