Call It Karma Season 3 – Victoria Elaine’s Journal (Synopsis)
During freshman year, we all made a pact. Skye, Natalie, Amy, and I. We said we would rent out our own space together, go to the same college, and never turn our backs on each other. But, we did. Ever since we graduated, everything had been a mess. Skye had been trying to prove himself, I don’t know the whole story, but he definitely drifted away from us. Natalie, kept on spending more time with her precious Lucas. Until he dumped her. Natalie then was in such a depression state. We used to go to De Anza together, but then I saw less of her every week until I didn’t see her at all. One day, I saw her on the street, all drugged up and I think she lost her mind. Just because of some stupid boy. Amy, I think has gotten back with Ricardo. I don’t know if it’s true, but I did see them across a street once, holding hands, kissing, and the like. And me? I left that town. I couldn’t take it anymore. I couldn’t go to a place and not think of Matthew. He has always been in my head, ever since day one.
Reverse This Curse – Chapter 2 – Redeemer
youtube version || simtube version
WUDDUPP! Sorry, it takes so long for episodes to come out. I have a reason for that. One word. School. I know, it’s school, it’s supposed to be easy, but dude, it’s horribly hard. I shouldn’t have taken any AP classes, but hey, I’m learning a lot, and it’s good to learn, right?
So I’m a little rusty at editing, I haven’t edited in a while, but I think it’s okay for a few months of not editing and such…? Heh.
I had to step in for a voice actor of mine, because I haven’t heard from her in months and I was like… I need to post… everyone is starting to yell at me on youtube. T_T. BY THE WAY, thank you to the people that hasn’t been PMing me like crazy or commenting me saying, “WHERE IS THE NEXT RTC EPISODE?!?!?” Seriously. Thanks so much, the majority of you that don’t ask. The minority… not so much. ahha. No offense, but don’t kill the director! I know it’s been 4 months, but give me some slack, bro favor? I’m trying here. Trying to balance everything out.
I can’t guarentee that episodes will come out week after week. But I’m trying to finish up all of the episode editings, put in voices, put in background sounds & such this week, so all I have to do is render, upload, and update.
YES, my vampires can transform. Hahha. So the thing is, with their eyes, in the last scene & the scene were Emily & Aiden are talking. Aiden & Phoebe, their eyes change into a color red. So that’s typically like the dead give away for their transformation? You know? So I just wanted to point that out because I think the video is too dark for people to notice. T_T.
Calling All Directors?!
Are you stumped on what to write for a series? I’m here to help! If you’re having trouble starting your own series because you’re having writers block… Here’s a good chance to get something out on youtube. Well, if you took a look at my playlists on youtube, there’s a section that is called “Discontinued Series” which consists of a few series that I will no longer be doing, which is fine, because I’ve only made promos or only like two episodes of some things. If there are any directors interested in continuing these stories, PM me on youtube! (Please don’t just use my ideas.) I’m still thinking about it, but, if you don’t have a ‘production’ line yet (ex. A Laughing City Productions), you can team up with me! But I’m not sure about that yet. But anyways, here are few of the series that I am handing out. I will write the scripts for you, and send it to you once I get them done. Obviously if I pick you, I at least some credit (ex. Written by: stfumarevel) (with my name correctly spelled) Heheh…
- Modern Romance – (Storyline has been changed, do not look at the promo) PM me for synopsis.
- Nightmare of You – TAKEN
- It Had To Be You – PM me for synopsis.
- Harbingers of Death – PM me for synopsis.
Anyways, PM me on youtube if you’re interested! Thanks! And if you’re wondering if I’ll be giving you characters for the series, that would be a no, it’s up to you for a whole new clean slate. 
There’s a few things you have to send me before I make my decision though. Send me a video of one of your works. Please don’t tell me that you’ll start making videos once I give you the scripts and stuff… I have a hard time trusting people. Especially over the internet.

My little “goodbye summer” video. Also saying, this might be the last video in a while. LOL. Meaning, I have got everything done, so therefore I am on a schedule, thus I won’t have random videos like these. And I haven’t made a random video since, uh, forever (october 2008. LOL), and I wanted to make something. Hehe.
STORYLINE:
The song matches up with the video, you have to look & listen closely. But it shouldn’t be that complicated. The song was originally 6 minutes long, but I don’t really like long videos. So I cut it to be like 4:35. Hopefully you won’t hear my nooby cutting skills.
- I guess if you’ve watched my Everything We Had video, I guess you could base it off what happened in their past. I don’t have names for these characters, sadly. LOL. But obviously, you gotta name them something. I named the blond lady, Maryann. Brown-haired guy, Jensen. Blond guy, George. So if you have watched my Everything We Had video, I guess you could say Maryann & Jensen had a little fling before Maryann & George went off & got married. There are pulsing beats in the beginning, so I wanted to make a little kabam(?) of clips. You can see mili-seconds of the troubles that face Maryann & George. And how George declines her.
- Until it truly begins at a grocery store. George meets his long time friend, Jensen. They start to talk for awhile, then Maryann comes up to them. George introduces Maryann to Jensen.
- Maryann, Jensen, & George have lunch at Maryann & George’s house, they talk until Jensen has to get a phone call. It gets awkward between Maryann & Jensen. “Why?” You ask. Maryann & Jensen already know each other. Maryann does dishes until Jensen tells her something. They start to kiss, while George is upstairs talking to someone over the phone.
- Few days later, George is off to work, while Maryann is having breakfast. George impaitiently waits for her to say something, eventually leaves because she doesn’t. She takes a bath while Jensen starts to break into their house. After her bath she comes out to find Jensen in her bedroom. She yells at him to get out, but he tells her something. (In the song, he says, “Don’t know what I’d do if you lost sleep over little old me. He’s so much better. They’re all much better.”) Then the sex scene.
- This next part matches up with lyrics, as it was saying “because you can’t be caught red-handed…” which is when George finds out that Maryann is having an affair with Jensen. He then has fury in his eyes.
- George fights with Maryann that night and when Maryann has had enough with him (beating her, yelling at her), she finally slaps him, really hard, which makes him fall on the floor. She runs upstairs to call Jensen to come and help her. Jensen leaves his house and hurries to Maryann’s house. George is yelling at her again when he gets there, Jensen threatens George and he runs downstairs. Jensen comforts her, George goes upstairs with a gun. George shoots Jensen. Maryann is left with shock in her eyes.
- It then goes to a cemetary with little clips of George in jail for the crime he has committed. Maryann throwing up (morning sickness). Then fades to a grave stone (which is essentially Jensen’s tombstone).
- WHO’S BABY IS IT ANYWAYS? If you paid attention, in the beginning, George declines Maryann, but later on in the video, Jensen & Maryann make love. So… Jensen is the father of Maryann’s future baby.
Hopefully you won’t think of the sex scene too… obscene. I didn’t want an intense scene, I just wanted something that was… let’s say, romantic. Even though there were some “boobie” scenes. I wanted to focus more on the ring on her finger during this scene. It was really awkward filming this scene because my mom was in the next room and I didn’t want her to see what I was doing because she would go into my room and be like, “Do you want some dinner — OH MY GOD, WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING?!” That would have been an FML moment…
Does anyone even read this anymore…?
Updates, random updates, and moar updates.
I’m pretty much doing nothing right now, just waiting for some lines here and there. I was planning on making a random video this weekend but then I got lazy. I was like eh… LOL. I was trying to do my AP U.S. History work today, but blah, I just got lazy. I will do it tomorrow, maybe. I am scared for this school year, this year I’m going to be a junior, and like, damn, I’ve seen a lot of juniors that stressed out last year, and GAH, TWO AP CLASSES? I have never had 2 AP classes at the same time in my life. I am usually just the person who likes to take the easy way. But… Eh! I want to get into a good college… So, I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since I’ve started filming with the sims 2. It just seems like yesterday. Ahah! I am posting some random things… I think I’m going to be pretty busy with this year. Like, I used to just slack off and be whatevarrr. But I’m going to try to get some videos done in the future. I’m planning to go on a hiatus after I get everything done with Reverse This Curse. I have to focus this year, or else, if I don’t, I might cry. LOL. I am usually a slacker at school and this is like the year to do it. Gotta risk it to get the biscuit. I will probably go on hiatus Februay through June. (Look at me, already planning my escape…?) By late June, I’ll get everything fixed up with all the plots and straighten out some series. Then… OH MY GOD! Senior year is just a year away! I hope this (Junior) year goes fast. Gawwd. I thought Sophomore year was long, but it turned out pretty fast. I’m getting my schedule for this school year on tuesday. I’m pretty excited for it. But I know that I’m getting.. aha. Okay, Marevel, you have to understand that this is not your personal blog, this is your machinima blog…
ANYWAYS, going on. I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately and it’s like, hurting my head. People ask these really long questions when it really is just simple… All I have to say is, LOOK AT MY FAQ. LOOK AT MY FAQ. LOOK AT MY FAQ. LOOK AT MY FAQ. LOOK AT MY FAQ. LOOK AT MY FAQ. LOOK AT MY FAQ. LOOK AT MY FAQ. LOOK AT MY FAQ. LOOK AT MY FAQ. LOOK AT MY FAQ. LOOK AT MY FAQ. (Sorry, was that a bit mean?) I’m planning to update some of the pages, I just don’t know when. I will probably do it after I post this blog up…
I should really stop talking. Goodnight!
Reverse This Curse – Chapter 1 – The Nobodies
youtube version || simstube version
THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER! Hooray?! I hope you enjoy this first chapter of Reverse This Curse. It took a hell of a lot of editing and I had to do a few scenes over but then I got lazy. I am sad that I got lazy though, I could have done a better job on some parts. I would like to thank the cast for everything, they have been patient with me, re-doing some lines here and there. x) I love them all. They are amazing. . Now for some production notes! Hehehe. (I know, boring, but it helps me pass the time when this thing is uploading.)
This episode, is something that I’d like to call an opening? (LOL, DUH, IT’S THE FIRST EPISODE). I put a lot of dialogue into it so I guess viewers can understand where this story is going. THIS IS NOT LIKE TWILIGHT. I read through some comments in the promo video that I released like a thousand years ago and some people started to compare it to Twilight. I just have to say, WTJEEBUS? I don’t see any comparison with Twilight to Reverse This Curse except them being all vampire and all. But that’s the only thing that’s the same I guess…? Okay, anyways. I just need to clear some things up. Haha.
- When everyone is at the house: (Emily, Phoebe, Cedric, Liam, Rui), there is this part where Cedric gets some kind of headache when Phoebe looks at him. Phoebe was, let’s say, beaming out something to Cedric. That’s why he stopped talking.
- Voicemail from mother: I was trying to make the telephone effect with Scarlett’s voice. (You know, how it’s all scratchy and un clear?) Yeah, I guess I uber failed. I tried to record her voice with my actual phone, but then all I got was noise. ahah. So with a lot of fiddling in Cool Edit Pro, I stopped, it kinda sounds like a voice message? But I guess if you want to go all technological on me, I guess not.
. I tried. Hehe.
I rendered this so many times, my computer lagged when I was editing. I was dying. I rendered it about 5 times until I was like, “YES! THIS IS IT! THIS IS MY FINAL DRAFT!” I have 5 versions of the episode, and they all look so different. Lmao. I tried really hard to match all the voices up because I need to always match everything up or else I won’t be happy with it. Hahha. Random fact. I don’t know why, but whenever I watch this, I feel like there’s something new in it, like a movie, yeah? You notice things when you keep on watching it. I don’t know, I’m being random. there’s a few minutes left until this episode uploads! I think I’ll post a biography section of the characters sooner or later.
I’d love to hear your comments/criticism on my first episode working with voices, what should I add more? What should I take out? Anything? Thanks! Have a great weekend, everyone.
P.S. Yes, my vampires can ninja poof.
Call It Karma – 2.10 – Season 2 Finale – Swing Life Away
youtube version || simstube version
Hello everyone! When I was filming this earlier in the month, I was wondering when I would post this, I looked at the other dates of the episodes, and I realized that it’s been a year since season 2 came out, so just for an anniversary, I decided to post it today. July 21, 2008 was the date that I posted the first episode of season two. Ironic, isn’t it? Any who, if you haven’t watched it, do not read on because I am about to put some spoilers/explanations. :O
:START SPOILED EGGS:
You might ask ‘WTH why?!’ I know the season has been rushed and too much or too little information for the season, there are a few unanswered questions about some characters and about the plot.
The recent question I received was about Izzy, what’s with her deal? Izzy, was not clearly explained in the series, Izzy is supposedly an old elementary school friend of Victoria Elaine. Victoria Elaine and Izzy were ‘inseparable’ but you know, when you grow up, and you start to like people, develop crushes… Izzy supposedly back stabs Victoria Elaine by flirting/getting with her old romance crushes. Therefore when Izzy came back to town, she was jealous of Victoria Elaine and what V.E. has with Matthew. Kisses Matthew in 2.04(?), trying to ruin their relationship. I tried not to make Izzy the bad guy, but then it did turn out that she was the bad guy after all. Frederick, I wanted to develop his character more, but then I just made him a minor character because I had to work on V.E.’s, Skye’s, Natalie’s, Amy’s stories. VICTORIA ELAINE LIKES LUCAS? No. She doesn’t. She used to. In elementary school, because Lucas was once between Victoria Elaine and Izzy. Sometimes V.E. would feel jealousy towards Natalie or Izzy in episodes, but the feelings would subside.
ABOUT THE FINALE, before you go on and asking “why the hell not?!” I wanted to make an open-ended ending, because those are just simply fascinating. It leaves everyone questioning and take a few steps back, look at the big picture and think, “sometimes things don’t quite work out like they’re planned.” I left it open-ended because it’s up to the viewer’s perspective/mind on what they want to happen to Victoria Elaine and Matthew. In the last episode, Victoria gets all of these opinions from different people. First from Amy, then from Mrs. Claire Lawrence (Matthew’s Momma) and then from Natalie. Amy talked about how things were blocking Ricardo and her from being together. Victoria thinks of her relationship, one thumbs down. When she talks to Mrs. Claire Lawrence, Claire asks if V.E. is ready, V.E. is clearly not ready for responsibility. But Claire reassures her that if it’s true love, it will always work out. Thumbs up. With Natalie’s analogy with the tooth, V.E. gets a thumbs down. 2 thumbs down and 1 thumbs up is not enough for V.E. to leave with Matthew. Which makes her decide to not leave with Matthew. I wanted only a few words that V.E. & Matthew would share. It might confuse many people, but only V.E. & Matthew would understand each other. The last scene, where Victoria Elaine is the only one in the room and she thinks of what Skye says, “As you go through life you’ll see there is so much that we don’t understand. And the only thing we know is that things don’t always go the way we planned.” And she looks up and realizes. What did she realize? Did she go back to the airport hoping Matthew would still be there? Or did she stay at home, and realized that things are going to be okay? “If it’s true love, it will always works out.” It’s all up to the viewer’s imagination.
:END OF SPOILED EGGS:
Please do not ask any further questions about Call It Karma for a next season or something about spin offs. I really get tired of reading messages when is this season coming out when is this episode coming out. Please give me some slack. -sad face-
NOW, something special, since I’ve never really answered any questions about CC or something about actions in the series, I will answer them now. BUT, you have to be SPECIFIC. I cannot search up everything in all the episodes. I’ve made many outfit/hair recolors for the series, and I simply cannot give that out, because I don’t know how. Seriously. But I will try to provide you a link to the page I downloaded the CC off of. For poses, I will try to get the link, but it’s usually just the mainstream boxes and tons of combos of poses. I CANNOT answer any questions about SEASON ONE because I do not remember anything where I’ve gotten CC or other special things for that season. And I can’t help you with camera movements. These FAQs would only pertain to season TWO.
So if you ask a question about a character’s apparel/hair/accessory, please provide
episode # (2.#), duration (1:30-1:35), character (victoria elaine), and CC (hair, clothes, accessory).
If you ask a question about an object, same thing goes for the object
episode # (2.#), duration (1:30-1:35), and CC (describe color/what kind of object).
P.S. Please don’t double post! As in go in as another name. If you have more than one question, don’t hesitate to ask. Questions will be answered in the next post here within the week or the next.
I should probably get some sleep, so goodnight and I hope you enjoyed the last episode!
Call It Karma – 2.09 – Fair
youtube version || simstube version
Hello! So, it’s the summer once again, and this summer, I’ve been really bored, so I present you another episode for this month, and maybe a few more in the future in this month. LOL. I changed the story a little bit, instead of them being sophomores, I decided to put them as seniors because the story line would be, i guess, more realistic. Plus Phuong kept on telling me that you should make them as seniors blah blah blah. Hehehe.
I’m getting started on Reverse This Curse. I’m pretty excited. O_O. I think I’m going to make a music video in a few hours of all the characters remade. Cause I listened to this one song, and I was like, I CAN SEE VAMPIRES IN THIS MUSIC VIDEO. LOL. So yeah.
I hope you enjoy the episode!
Call It Karma – 2.08 – Rescue
youtube version || simstube version
I’m pushing up daisies, I wish they were roses. I feel like I’m drowning, but nobody knows it. I’m pushing up daisies, I wish they were roses. I feel like I’m dying, just want you to notice. Somehow the grave has captured me, show me the man I used to be just when I feel my breath is running out, the earth moves and you find me, alive but unworthy, broken and empty, but you don’t care. Cause you are my rapture, you are my savior. When all my hope is gone, I reach for you, you are my rescue.
A little early for an update? Maybeee. I’m getting bored of my summer already, I should read those books for APUSH and English 3A. Oh well.
Simstube Update & Update.
So, hello, again. Even though I posted… yesterday? Holy crap, or was that on saturday? Omg, I can’t remember. LOL. So, I was thinking, about my whole schedule thing. & I might get Call It Karma’s S2EP8 out next weekend. But I don’t know… It’s a possibility. XD. I filmed some of it today, and then I got lazy. XD. Maybe later in the day, I’ll finish up, edit, and wait until sunday. XD.
So, I finally updated my simstube, and I’ve finished everything. I’ve uploaded all the previous episodes on there, so if you’re annoyed by the music that’s on the episode on youtube, you can click the link to listen to the original songs I put hard work into to match up with the scenes. D:<
http://simstube.com/?u=stfumarevel
Today, I’m really bored, so I might upload all of CIK’s season 1 on simstube but like the whole… shabang, like a movie. But, you see, I don’t have the original videos of the season, so… LOL. I don’t want to go back and try to find the songs on my computer mommy! D:
Oh yeah, I’m definitely bored. OH, so my friends were over here, at my house, a few days ago, and they read Counting Backwards, one of my friends put in an idea that we could do voice acting. LOL. I mean, that wouldn’t be hard right? I mean that because we would be using our voices, and I wouldn’t wait for lines, but then I was like, ehh… AHAH, it is based on us, but some of us don’t sound like we are in our 20’s. We are still in high school. LOL.
I’m still deciding if I want The Sims 3, it looks… like something that I would play with, but at the same time, I wouldn’t play with it.It’s too… I don’t know, clay/play-doh-y? I mean, I just love the enviroment and such, just not so much the sims. LOL. I like the new PLUMBBOB!!! I was like OMG, IT IS SO MUCH SHINIER THAN THE ONE IN THE SIMS 2. XD.
I think I’m done for the day. XD. Adios!
