FAQ

1. Q. Where did you download that hair/object/clothing?
A. The CC sites that I use are always listed in the credits at the end of my videos, but the ones I use most often are MTS2, raonsims, holy simoly, lianasims2, mangosims, and wallsims.

2. Q. How did you get your sims to do.... (fill in the blank)
A. There are some great cheat objects and hacks for movie makers at MTS2, that allow you to do all kinds of really cool things. Some of my favorites are made by decorgal, who also can be found here on YouTube.

3. Q. What was the name of the song you used in.... (fill in the blank)
A. As with my CC sites, I always credit the songs in my credits at the end of my movies. If you're wondering about a particular song that I used in an ep, watch the credits at the very end. I always list them in the order they were heard in the ep.

4. Q. Can you give me some advice on how to make movies?
A. There's lots of little tricks that I could tell you, but I honestly think it's better to learn them on your own. If you really want some tips, there's a great video here on YouTube that can be found here:

The best advice I can give to anyone is to take your time! The pause button is your friend! And don't be afraid to shoot a scene more than once if it doesn't come out the way you want it! Don't make the same mistake I did in the beginning and be in a hurry to crank out a show. The show suffers when you rush!
Also, pay attention to details. Get rid of the plumbbob (that stupid thing over their heads), and download some ceiling tiles. The more realistic you make your movie, the more people will want to watch it. The same goes for your script. Keep it real! I've watched so many sims movies where the dialog that's going on is not at all believable, and I stopped watching because it was just too ridiculous.
Speaking of scripts, if you're going to use subtitles, PLEASE, DEAR GOD, CHECK YOUR SPELLING!!!! It's hard enough to read and watch at the same time without the added distraction of having to decipher what the director is saying because words are badly misspelled!

FYI

The machinamy.com site is currently under construction (though you can still go there and watch the High Society videos). My brother and I are looking to expand it so that I can host my own videos on my site, rather than here. Don't freak out, TPL won't be going anywhere. My brother also had the idea of adding a forum to my site, so he's currently working on that too. It's been a bit of a slow go, but keep checking in... I'll post a bulletin or something when the site is finished and fully functional.


I can't thank all of you enough for all your support and love throughout my journey with machinima! I have found a new "passion" if you will, and mostly I have YOU to thank for it. If you hadn't responded so positively, I wouldn't have had a reason to keep making videos, so really, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart! I couldn't ask for a better group of fans... You truly are the best!
Love you guys!
