Reel Expression

121 Random Poses:
Months ago I sat down for 3 days to see how many poses I could do in that time period. I mainlined tea, hardly talked to anyone (ok that’s kind of typical) and went through more jolt gum than is probably healthy. Sometimes I like to push myself just to see what I can do. It keeps things interesting. I averaged about 30-50 a day, as there a bunch of sitting ones that took longer than the standing ones.

Today I put all of them in the discount section for L$50 each and L$4800 for the set. Does that make up for not releasing anything for months?

- All of them are from source photos
- Some of the sources are previously used
- Some of them had been scrapped because I couldn’t work out the kinks
- Some had been scrapped before just well.. because I didn’t like it.
- The only tweaking to them was fixing major breaks and balance issues, so they are lower quality than my usual.
- I couldn’t use previously made poses as a starting point
- I couldn’t use my excel cheat sheet

Pro Posers Hunt:
So I have some free (previously unreleased) poses out for this hunt. It ends on the 30th.

In other news:
You may or may not know that prior to working full time in SL, I was a film editor. Part of my moving back to the States was to venture back that direction. I missed editing. A lot. I love making poses, but it’s not editing. It’s not telling a story with pictures, at least not like editing is.

I have this love/hate relationship with both SL and the film industry that I’m not going to bore you with here. SL was a nice break from it, but it’s time for me to go back. I’ve been spending the past few months relearning old stuff, figuring out what’s changed since I left, setting up my online reel and getting ready to put myself out there again. About a month ago, I got a job editing a feature length documentary and I’ve been knee deep in it since. Contract negotiation, production meetings, and other such nonsense that I still haven’t touched a bit of film. Hell, I haven’t even opened Avid.

What does that mean for Reel Expression? A lot less releases and slower customer service response time. I try and log in often, but sometimes I just can’t. I still have pose ideas bouncing around my head screaming to get out, but I’m working on them very slowly. I’m also working on a sim rebuild and attaching it to my dear friend Aems Case’s sim.

So no, I’m not rage quitting. You can’t get rid of me that easily.
