Thank you for all the replies. Jess you don't sound like a jerk at all, I really appreciate the perspective. My greatest downfall in anything has always been feeling like I don't know exactly what I'm doing and it's helpful to have the reminder to try things out and see what works. To be okay with things not working lol! You girls are all awesome.

I'm dealing with some pretty heavy depression recently and pushing myself as hard as I can because I really need the money but it's almost impossible to make new clips. I freeze up trying to think of what to make, the theme and how to go about it, not wanting to look stupid, etc etc. So I've mostly been making clips out of the cam shows I recorded a few weeks ago. I usually listen to music while camming though and don't want to deal with copyright infringement shit so that's why those are silent. Just made a new clip a few days ago and hit the audio sync problem. I'll probably be able to figure it out, it's just a matter of motivation and my well's running pretty dry.
I wish something that's already posted on c4s would sell in the meantime.. is it normal for you girls to get over 100 views in a day and not make a sale?
What are you using to film the videos with? A web cam? I've audio syncing issues when I use mine.
Videos with audio will sell better. You can say nothing during the video & then go back in & do a voice over.
Turn off all air conditioners, all fans.
If you are using the webcam, the sound could be from the fan in your computer too.
Try using your mobile phone to record videos instead.
Motivation.. don't know what to film. FILM everything. Film cleaning the room. Film putting on makeup.Film taking a shower or bath. Film getting dressed. Film trying on different outfits. Film flipping them off.

so I Want to shoot clips, boyfriend is funny one says he doesn't want to mix business with pleasure. so not sure if I will get much out of him for clips.
but my fetlife I am getting messages from guys saying they want to film with me . SO I figure get a decent camera and shoot mostly from a tripod.
Just wondering if tripod style shooting will be successful.

Yes it can be successful. I only shoot with a tripod. Sometimes if I need a floor shot I set up my camera using creative techniques but otherwise I use a tripod. Good luck with our clip making =)

YES! *Many* clip producers shoot their clips themselves with a tripod and are successful. Plus you can always move the tripod around for different camera angles.

Moving the view around and varying the zoom will be crucial in making the videos more appealing.
Something about the videos that never change view or zoom, even great content will seem stilted or boring after a while.
The other solution is to move the action closer or further away from the tripod, etc.

Hi everyone. So after a long absence, due to health problems, I was getting ready to get back to work and shoot new clips next week. And what did i do? I stepped (in my own backyard) in hole dug up by my moms dog and sprained my ankle! I can't walk or stand, so now I am limping with a crutch and the only thing I am getting ready for are 4 or 6 weeks of rehab. That is my doctors estimated time before what ever is torn in my ankle will heal. Worst part? It is not the first time. I sprained the same damn ankle 4 times already, and broke bones in it 3 times. It does not matter how careful I am. Somehow I will always find that one crack in the pavement, miss an extra step or fall in a god damned hole. I swear, one day I will ki11 that b1tch (aka my moms dog). Not that I don't love that mutt. Sorry for the rant, but I am just so angry and this is the only place I can get it all out. Hope you all are doing great.

:) I actually thought about that, but it just hurts too much :( I think most of the girls in crutches clips fake it, or have outstanding pain tolerance. And I could damage myself even more if I over do it :(

You know how C4S makes new customers who place orders over a certain dollar amount prove their identity? Which I personally loved because they would block large orders until they did so. Well they just moved that dollar amount UP and I DON'T see how that is a good thing for us clip producers. :-( (Not posting dollar amounts because who knows who is lurking. PM me if you want to know or ask a C4S rep....I just found out about this now. I think it sucks. ESPECIALLY after all of that fraud/chargeback stuff that was going on in June/July)

I am really sorry Nina! I can imagine it really is painful. You'd be surprised though how much some guys like seeing a girl who is struggling to get around, it gives the idea that they couldn't easily get away and also vulnerability/needing to be cared for. You're going to need to do things anyway, if you can set up your camera just to film yourself getting about or getting dressed or bathing etc, it could be worth it.

Please be careful.
The doctors will usually tell you to take longer than you need to cover their ass, and make damned sure you are healed. So I used to think I could take less time than other people healing. Which was true, sometimes--then I got my knee messed up and wow you have to take the time with joint or bone injuries.

But when you start getting around easily on crutches, go for it! They are giving you good advice there, to capitalize on the fetish value.

Okay, understandable. But you know how you said you think most other girls fake it (and I agree, they probably do)....you AREN'T. So even if you can't get up and walk around yet, you could do a clip with your foot propped up and talk about what happened, the pain, swelling, can't walk on it much, basically everything you've told US and then show them any bruising/swelling. And then when/if you do crutches clips, they will know that you are authentic and *not* faking. Just a thought.... :-)

That is SO true. My chiropractor told me that sometimes an injury will start to feel better before it is completely healed. Of course he told me this AFTER I re-injured myself because it started to feel better....live and learn.

a couple of new/more interesting stuff in the giantess fetish! I've found which categories work better with some customs I've uploaded to, so it's all just from learning and stuff I guess :)
Looks like C4S has almost completely crashed. All our stores are down. I hope this doesn't last long.

Same here, it is f**ked today. This morning I had a sales email (damn do I love those emails!) with 2 sales on it, but no update on my admin screen. Usually they happen simultaneously, yes I'm sad, I like to see the numbers go up. So all day, no update. Then main site goes down and now can't get into admin!
On the plus side I scheduled my clips for upload today otherwise I would have been crying!
Please C4S sort it...
