Imgur Success!

It seems Figures Inaction is seeing a dramatic increase in overall views by posting over on Imgur. I've had multiple posts there with over 1,000 views, and last night's posting, Pulaski's End, is seeing the best numbers yet. After a few duds here and there to start out with, I've decided not to re-post all photos but instead post the best of the crop.

Flamecast #048: Mercy Bombed

Travis and Todd discuss recent conventions they've been to, Todd's recent accident, and recent viewings of movies and TV shows. Oh, and Todd's cat has a death wish. Recorded 9/20/18.

Figures Inaction on Imgur!

Seeing how another person I know has an Imgur account and seems to be doing quite well on it, I've created a Figures Inaction account on there as well. If I space out my posts there just a little, it will still be quite a while before the postings are all synchronized between all media platforms. In the meantime, check it out over at https://imgur.com/user/FiguresInaction.

Flamecast #047: SDCC Wrap-Up

Todd, Wes and Cory get together to recap some of the trailer and promo highlights of the 2018 San Diego Comic Con. Recorded on 7/28/18.

Hollyweed

If you haven't seen the postings on Facebook yet, check out a pilot episode over at RivitTV.com called "Hollyweed".  It's a Kevin Smith project which looks like it has quite a bit of potential.  In order to get the series moving, you pledge a certain amount as low as $1.99 per episode and the series will be green-lit if the total amount reaches $5,305,264 on or before August 26, 2018.  So if you're a fan of Kevin like me, go out an support Hollyweed!

Flamecast #046: A Busy Guy

Kentucky's own Travis joins this month's Flamecast as they discuss 2019's Star Wars Celebration Chicago, Solo: A Star Wars Story, and TV shows they've been watching, among other things. Recorded on 6/13/18.

Flamecast #045: Spoiler Alert!

Flamecast transfers to Youtube

Flamecasts? On Youtube??? YES! Starting with the very first Flamecast which was posted just over 5 years ago, I'm going to be slowly uploading all Flamecast recordings to Youtube. Eventually, once I get caught up with the most recent recording, the Podbean Flamecast page will be phased out and replaced with the Flaming Death Productions Youtube channel instead. This should give us a much wider exposure, plus it saves us money by not having to keep the Podbean site active. Yay!

New Youtube Uploads

The last time I tried to upload Yoda's Treasure to Youtube (which was quite a while ago, I might add), they had a 10 minute running time cap in effect.  Unfortunately that meant that the film couldn't be uploaded since the run time is 12:14.  I had it hosted on another site but in lower quality as an alternative, and I hadn't given it a second thought until today.  While taking out frames on each film's web page and combining the information onto single pages, I came across the links for Yoda's Treasure and its outtakes.  It seemed like as good of a time to try it again as any other time, so I tried it again not only with success but with better quality as well.  So, go take another look at our first fan film and enjoy!

The Latest News

It was time for some updates needed to be done, so you may notice a few differences here on the website.

First, I've been meaning to do this for quite some time, but I've decided to pull "The Audition" out of production and consider it a cancelled project. It's been two years now since we did initial filming, however I just felt the story was lacking too much and didn't keep my interest as a result. Compared with other Star Wars fan films, this one just didn't hold up. I very much appreciate the time and effort that was contributed by the actors, however it's time to pull the plug on this one.

Second, you may have noticed that Action Trektion has been replaced in the menu by Figures Inaction.  No,  I haven't scrapped Action Trektion; it's just been rebranded!  Being that there is only so much one can do with just Star Trek action figures, I'm extending the realm to Marvel and DC figures and will even bring in my vast Star Wars collection as well.  Yes, we've had guest appearances of the old DC Super Powers figures from the early 1990s, but my collection of figures has grown over the past few months and will be welcome additions to the photo series.  Figures Inaction will keep its weekly schedule with new photos added every Saturday morning.

So what's next?  I'm getting closer to another project coming into production, so stay tuned!
