Just so you know, I’ve uploaded a less ‘violent’ version of Helena to youtube today. This version also has the trailer in the beginning. So if you were unable to watch/fav it from your account, you can do it now :)

Movie youtube page here

And here is the download version. (Trailer+ original movie unedited)

Oh and by the way, from now on I’ll be watermarking my movie files. Never thought I’d end up doing this, but so many people are reuploading my movies all over the web without linking back here, not to mention even using my clips for their own so called ‘productions’ so seems like I just have no other option here…

1. Helena flagged on youtube

Yep, after over a year of being on the site it suddenly had to be flagged as ‘inappropriate for minors’. Now the movie lost its honors and everyone is leaving comments asking why it was flagged and so on, man I’ve no idea myself!

So far I’ve heard alot of stuff about the video, but I never heard anyone complaining about the  ‘nudity’ or violence. Supposedly people under 18 can’t watch this, so it has to be.. R rating!? Man don’t be ridiculous! Because if you look at it, here’s all “mature” content which movie contains:
1 or 1.5 seconds of sims drinking
5 seconds of sim being in the shower, yes she is naked, but no ‘private parts’ are exposed
Also some violence like sims hitting each other
1sec or a glimpse of bloodshed but on youtube the quality is so low you can barely see it..

And not to forget, those are not even real people! It’s just pixels, you gotta be really outta your mind to give a movie R rating because of that!

Well, I just thought I’d rant about it…There’s not much can be done over this now I guess, as it wasn’t automatic, it was reviewed by some youtube employee. …………….*cough*Really sick in the head I must add.*cough*

2. Link exchange problem

I just recently noticed I had my old email address listed under link exchange requests. (At least now i know why so much spam arrives to this mailbox :\) Well, now I no longer use this address:  jaydee (+) jd-movies.com
So if you asked me to exchange links and I still haven’t added your site to links page, please send me another email to this address:

 linkexchange ((+)) jd-movies.com

3. Fakers/other people with no lives and sick imagination

Well, I don’t think I officially have a faker yet.. well, none that i know of. ( I do have more important things to do then looking up my own self on google), but once in a while I get messages like ‘hiii what’s up it’s meeee!’ and I’d be like ‘ um.. do I know you?’
Or somebody would just ask me if it’s true that their friend actually knows me.. Like this gb entry i got recently is a really typical example:

“hi my name is tony, my friand shaniah D. says that she is your cousin and she helped you make the sk8er boi video. i dont really belive her though because of your popularity. so send me something back saying if it is true.8-)(i am yomi)”

So here’s the truth people:
I have no siblings and no cousins.. well at least none who I actually met.
I could count on fingers my real life friends who care about my internet life or sims movies. But those who do, wouldn’t see the point in boasting about it. So if your ‘friend’ claims hat they know me.. 99.9% they are lying. But next time you see them, do tell them that Jaydee said hi and also tell them she said they are sad pathetic liars without lives. (eh too bad i’m trying to keep this blog curse-free)

And as an additional info.. here’s the list of the sites I use:
- Myspace
- Flickr
- Youtube
- DeviantArt
- sims99

Sites, where I have an account, but dont use:
- bebo [username: Jaydee-]

Forum accounts:
- sims2community [Jaydee]
- sims99 [Jaydee]

Anyone on other sites claiming to be me must be fake. 

4. The moon

WARNING: Alot of people have reported about these objects not showing up properly. Download at your own risk! 

I also remade the moon, because too many people were asking about it..
And of course I couldn’t hold myself from making some recolors :P so here’s a set of some funky lighting effects for nightclubs concert stages, abstract music video sets and so on.

Well this is the new mesh it’s about 2 storeys high and it uses 1024X1024 texture so the detail comes out pretty good. The downside of it is that it will look good only from 1 side.. if you rotate the cam around it, it will become visible that the model is flat.
The moon itself is the base object which contains the mesh, so you must download it in order for the recolors to work.
And I guess you’ll need to have university, as I cloned it from that weird yellow heart sculpture thing. It’ll be found under decorative sculpture and will cost 6 simoleons (sorry i can never spell that right)
Feel free to recolor, but I’d appreciate it if you pointed people here so that they could download the mesh here.

The end :)

Well the last month was the ‘busiest’ ever on the site. I got around 16000 unique visitors and 23000 visits, so I almost ran outta bandwidth which kinda means soon i might have to switch to paid host, cuz i’m pretty sure i’m not gonna find any better free one than the one i’m using now. so yeah that’s what made me put the ads on the site, yeah i HATE ads myself but I’m not paying for the hosting due to the reasons not really dependant on me… :\  

Anyways, I thought it would be fun to share some of the site stats.. like before i released Helena this place basically has been dead, I’ve been getting like 50-60 visitors a day.. but as you can see it has changed :) well i’ve noticed webmasters rarely do it, but what the hell, here’s my site stats from the last year:

Most visited pages in January:
- index
- movies
- downloads
- blog
- loading screen reaction tester box
- allmenus on
- helenaexplained

the most downloaded files:
- Photoposes animbox
- Helena sim

- Open For Business reaction tester
- And the first eyes that i made
Top referrers:

and mostly all kinds of forums but i rarely visit the referring pages to be honest. i know weird lol

I also don’t get how http://www.jd-movies.com/ can be the second most SEARCHED word in the search engines.. i mean seriously, is it SOO hard just to type it in the browser window? lol

And here’s a list of some funky search phrases.. meaning sb searched for something and my site came up in results for some mysterious reasons..
I was too lazy to look through them all but here’s sth what i found:

free sims love movie - [damn have you ever heard of paid per view X rated sims machinima?? lol]
sims 2 how to kill sims [:)]
male vampire photos [hm...]
naked sims - [totally wrong number :P]
weird sims 2 stuff - [well could be a right one :P]

if i dont have any ep does the boolprop cheat work?,
‘when i download something for the sims 2 it won t appear the clothing is different’ -[just no comment lol]

Okay now lets go through the most asked questions now.. So this one is the one i get the most often: When the new movie is coming out?

Well, you know what starts to kinda bug me.. it’s that I start getting ANGRY kinds of emails b/c i haven’t made a movie in a long time. okay let me make one thing clear, I don’t OWE anybody no movies, I HIGHLY appreciate all the feedback from you guys but it’s seriously NOT the main reason why i make movies. It’s more about expressing myself, setting goals and achieving them. Sims movie making is terribly time consuming, but yeah if i wanted it BAD i would’ve made one by now.. just right now i’m trying myself at different things. BUT i didn’t say NEVER! i love movie making, because most of the time i can say.. damn i know what i’m doing, which is not the case when it comes to music or photography/art. Yeah I’m burned out on sims. The game did look amazing to me 2 years ago, but now I want something more than it has to offer. And putting all the pressure on me won’t help believe me it will only make me less motivated :)

———————

Another question that i get often are Can you make a video to a song [put a title here] the answer is NO i don’t take requests. If I will make the vid to the song u requested, that will be a pure coincidence!

———————

What else.. probably this ‘you’re brilliant at moviemaking. so can you help me out?’ Weird.. how come i never even thought of emailing any moviemakers when i started out? yeah I do think if you REALLY want to achieve something you’re gonna have to forget about counting on the other people and learn to deal with everything ON YOUR OWN. That’s seriously the BEST piece of advise that I could ever give somebody. But well it’s not really the point. I mean if i really started ‘helping’ everybody out I don’t think i’d have any time at all, I’d just have to turn into some kinda sims moviemaking help hotline..so well if you need help, go to sims Bbs on sims99 or sims2.com. Yeah you can email me with a question but i gotta warn you I’m SLOW with replying. some stuff gets lost too easily because of the amount of spam i’m getting and i can’t do anything about it. I do reply stuff in guestbook first, so your question will be replied faster if you post it in guestbook.

——————

And the question that i get too often and i have NO idea what to reply it is HOW DO YOU DO IT lol i mean I never know what people really mean by it. Do i have to describe the process.. it’s kinda easy.. i mean set the action, set the angle and press v. If you wanna make sth good then you’re gonna need LOTS of patience you’re not gonna make a good sim movie in 1-2 days. If you complain that your movies look like crap then it’s simple.. you didn’t spend enough time working on it/didn’t put much thought and the list goes on. Anyways yeah i’m planning to rewrite the tips, they are gonna be HELPFUL this time lol So yeah I’m gonna do that when i find the time..

———————-

Oh and yeah! There’s an email that i wanted to reply, but couldn’t as the moron couldn’t even type his email correctly, so i’ll just reply it here:

Won’t quote the whole thing, but here’s an extract:

“anyway i dont believe ur a woman,
women cant do it that way.
pls reply.”

Well does THIS look womanly enough to you?
