"Customs I Wish I Owned" [12/05/11]
« on: April 09, 2011, 06:08:37 AM »
Hi everybody,

We're not sure if you are familiar with the "Customs I Wish I Owned" page on our blog where we post a video showing images of the  greatest hits of a customizer once every week, but we wanted to post a notice here for any customizer that would be interested in having their work showcased on our blog.  To be included we would need a short biography written in the third person and for the customizer to include any weblinks/contact information that the customizer would want our audience to have access to.  We would need enough images (25-40) to at least make a video of at least a minute in length and for the images to be decent quality because the image quality is reduced during the video conversion process.  

The video and bio would be posted on the following links:

Any interested parties can private message me here at the Yards or at our email customsforthekid@gmail.com.

Hope to hear from you all

Can Chad and I plug this as an announcement on our next Podcast? We will get the word out.

I do good to post in my own thread, y'see.  I'm hesitant to tell someone who has named their list "Customs I wish I owned" that any one of mine is worthy of that title.  Especially given that the majority of mine are just headswaps with a very occasional repaint or touch-up added.  I mean - what if the custom *I* like isn't one the reviewer actually wishes they owned?  So that just feels kinda funny to me. (but that's just imo)  Now, if said blog owner saw one (or more) that they particularly liked and wanted to feature, I'm a PM away and can provide more pics...

Hey Doc.  I've been wanting to feature you ever since Jay put together that awesome video for all the Shipyarders!!  Once I saw that Twi'lek on the speeder bike I was sold hook, line, and sinker.   A lot of my customs are just head swaps with repaints or touch-ups, but a good custom is a good custom imo.  And I feel your customs definitely are superb.

I hope no one gets intimidated by the title it's only there to honor everybody's hard work.

I'd love that.  With my job eating up about 65-80 hours a week and trying to find time to customize and run a blog on top of that, I really am in a panic most of the time trying to keep this feature going.  Usually I only get 4 hours of sleep a day and rarely have the time to support my fellow customizers with encouraging words on their latest projects.   I try to have this feature to provide a more intimate  "thumbs up" to all the great customizers in our community to let them know that their work is awesome in my book and give them the recognition I feel they deserve.
