Ten Years Ago from Today

It's been ten years ago from today since the premiere of Connect More!

Happy 12th!

 Happy 12th anniversary to the premiere of our Star Wars fan film, "Luke & Leia"!

Flamecast #056​: The Yoda's Treasure Reunion

The cast reunites for the 16th anniversary of the premiere of "Yoda's Treasure"! Recorded 2/13/2021.

Order Figures Inaction 8x10 Photo Prints!

As I'm preparing myself for offering Figures Inaction merchandise at future conventions, I've prepared the layouts for 8x10 prints of Figures Inaction entries. Since they're now available to me, I'm also making them available to you online as well! Head over to the Figures Inaction page and check the right-hand side for more details on ordering.

Instagram? Maybe....

So after a couple of years of having an Instagram account, I finally started actually using it for posting the latest Figures Inaction entries from the last two weeks. It is somewhat of a pain, however, since I have to basically build every post from scratch instead of just sharing straight from the FDP website like I can with Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. Not only that, but I can't do it from my computer and have to build each post on my tablet or phone instead. Although I have a similar issue with periodic posting on Imgur, it's a bit easier there since it can be accomplished on a PC. I get that a lot of people use Instagram, but damn, it's not very user-friendly to PC users. We'll see how long I stay with it.

Flamecast #055: A 20/20 Review

 After two unsuccessful attempts at creating Flamecast #055, Travis & Todd finally come through on a video podcast discussing highlights of last year. Go check it out on our Youtube channel or use the link in the menu above!

New masks and other changes at Redbubble.com

The Flaming Death Stockroom now has fitted 3-layer masks! Each of the three designs are available in this type, and you can find them under the main mask category for each design. I also did a bit of trimming of some of the items when I discovered that the white lettering on black logo did not transfer very nice on black clothing. It's not an issue with the masks at all, but for some reason the black fabric Redbubble uses for t-shirts and such is a little lighter than the black background I use in the image and therefore shows up in the final products. The white background doesn't seem to be an issue, though. So check them out at Redbubble.com!

Oh my freaking lord...

Flamecast #055 is being stubborn as hell to get recorded. Since discontinuing the use of Teamspeak, Travis, Wes and I tried using Discord last weekend and all seemed to be good... until I discovered in the editing process that my voice was the only one that was picked up. So, Travis, Matt and I tried again just a little while ago. This time I got everyone's audio in, but the video window to capture was not the correct one plus it stopped on us 19 minutes in. I discovered that after we going on about an hour later. So, another one in the trash. After doing some additional testing, the next one will be done via Zoom which has its own recording capabilities. I'll try again next month, though, because we can only cover the same topics so many times. We'll have all new things to discuss then.

Ugh.

Apologies to Wes, Travis and Matt, although it was a good time for us to catch up and just talk about stuff.

Flaming Death Stockroom Gets an Upgrade

Thanks to another person I know who sells items online, I've switched over to a different vendor for the Flaming Death Stockroom supplies. Not only is it a lot more pleasant to look at and browse through, there are quite a few more purchasing options as well. I think it was back in March that I had come up with the idea of making FDP facemasks just as kind of a joke, but I really should have taken myself seriously because everyone else started doing it! So, without further delay, I bring to you FDP facemasks! I'll have more merch on the way as soon as I go through some more design steps, but head on over to the Flaming Death Stockroom and see what's there (click on the link above, or go to it's new location at https://www.redbubble.com/people/FlamingDeath/shop).

Happy Birthday, Connect More!

Flamecast #054: Warm and Fuzzies

Looking for the latest Figures Inaction post?

Some of you may be wondering about the status of Figures Inaction since there have not been any posts there since the last Saturday in December. While I have been enjoying the extended vacation (for as much as I can, that is), I am actively working on ramping up more posts for future dates and plan on continuing on the first Saturday of June which would be June 6. Perhaps I should post the first one at 6:00 AM. That would be devilish! This also gives me time to acquire more figures for posts that have been conceived of but not yet realized.

In the meantime, the entire run of Figures Inaction is available here at the website to everyone. Just use the link in the webpage's menu or go to http://figuresinaction.flamingdeath.net/.

Flamecast #053: Apocalypse Now

Wes and Todd go over a few TV shows and look forward to the year's movies... whenever they start showing up in the theaters again. Recorded 3-14-2020.

February News - The FDP Teamspeak server, Figures Inaction & Flamecast Audio Theater

Just a few news items that happened last month...

The FDP Teamspeak server
...is dead.  Once again, the voice chat service that we use to communicate for Flamecasts and such has ceased to function which then requires a total re-setup.  After doing this two or three times in the past already, I've had it.  Future Flamecasts will either be recorded from conversations over Skype or Facebook voice chat.

Figures Inaction
Since January has been quite busy, I haven't had time to work on photos for the month.  I had planned on having things ready for February, but now it's the 1st and I'm still not ready.  We'll see what happens over this weekend, otherwise I may delay the return until the first Saturday in March.

Flamecast Audio Theater
I've been saying I was going to start doing audio stories for a number of years now, and I finally rewrote one of the old Star Wars fan film scripts I had to adapt it for an audio story instead of live action.  The next step is to audition people for the roles.  If you're interested, please contact me via the Flaming Death Productions Facebook page.

That's it for now!

Flamecast #052: The Return

Travis, Wes and Todd finally reunite to give their opinions on The Mandalorian, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and more!  Recorded 1-11-2020.  Check it out on the FDP YouTube channel.

Late to the Game...

A late Happy New Year to everyone!  Things have been a bit slow over here with circumstances not giving a lot of time for Flamecasts and such.  I do plan on recording again sometime soon, though, since there's been a lot to talk about.

Also, I'm a bit behind on Figures Inaction and need to take some time for that as well.  I do have some postings ready to go that are further down the line, but this month is a bit empty as of this moment.  I should have more in the tank soon, though.

Flamecast #051: A Christmas Miracle

The planets are in perfect alignment as Wes, Travis and Todd talk about what they've done during the six-month podcast break and review a few movies they've seen over that time, too. Recorded 8-18-2019. Check it out via the menu link above!
