Hey everybody! Lighter than Heir vol. 2′s Kickstarter is now online!

As many of you know, Blip is shutting down today.  We’ve received many many many questions about where the videos will be going, and what that’ll mean for the website.  As a lot of you have noticed, we’ve started up a new youtube channel, which you can subscribe to here: http://www.youtube.com/stonedgremlinproductions

Not every video will be uploaded onto our youtube page though.  Only a select number of videos will go to youtube, mainly the Midnight Screenings, certain Snob episodes, and any other video that won’t be flagged right away for copyright.  Not that that makes a huge difference anyway, as one of our Midnight Screenings was flagged last week, and we had to do an appeal to get it turned back on.  Same with the Bingo episode of The Cinema Snob.  Last week I filmed a Snob episode on “Elm Street 2,” which was immediately blocked and can’t be posted until we get to our new video home.

The new home for The Cinema Snob will be on Screenwave.  Out back catalog is currently being uploaded onto Screenwave, and when that is finished, we will be going through the long tedious task of replacing the embed codes on the website.  Unfortunately this might mean that there will be many blank pages on the website for a little bit.  The reason we haven’t started posting the embeds from Screenwave yet is because for some reason our website was on a blacklist for our videos.  We have no clue why, and we’re in the process of getting that fixed.  I have no idea when that will be though, so be prepared to possibly see some blank pages.

That doesn’t mean that you should start uploading our back catalog to youtube.  Please don’t do that.  We’ve seen many of our videos popping up on random youtube pages that aren’t out own, and that doesn’t help us, that actually hurts us quite a bit.  Please leave our videos alone and let us upload what we want to our official youtube page, as well as our new Screenwave account.  The revenue we get from our videos helps maintain the website, as well as helps everyone who works on the site.  Some will probably then say to me “can’t you just let someone archive them on youtube during the transfer.”  My answer to that is, be patient, our videos will be posted up on our own accounts soon.
