I have noticed, and greatly appreciated, that there is now a new category of clips, "Glass". When a couple of us suggested this sort of clip quite some time ago Totem replied that there might be some difficulties with the way the glass screen, and smears or water on it, would interact with the blue screen process. I congratulate Totem for exploring the possibility of prodcing these clips, and more so for overcomming any difficulties that they encountered. I really like those that I have seen so far. I assume that at some point it will be possible to explicitly select or exclude these clips using Allow: or Deny: clauses in Clip nodes in .scn file, and am looking forward to seeing some "window cleaner" scenes. There are a few older clips featuring girls in French Maid costumes where they use a feather duster to appear to clean the computer screen and these could possibly be classified as "Glass" clips even though no glass screen was used when producing them.

I have also noticed that no Cage clips have been produced for a long time now. Although I personaly find these to be somewhat "heavy" for use on the dektop I also find them absolutely invaluable when producing certain types of fullscreen scenes as they are the only was to prevent the performers wandering away from their allotted place in the scene. I do hope that Totem will resume production of the occassional cage clip.

There are now two distinctly different types of InOut clips. The old kind had the performer simply walked on stage at the start, or off at the end, of the performance but the actual performance was done centre stage. There is now another kind where the performance is itself done at the edge of the screen. I like both, but unfortunatly a scene written with one kind of inout clip in mind will not normally work well with inout clips of the other kind. Just as there are two types of Table clips selectable using Table, Fronttable and BehindTable specifiers in Allow: and Deny: clauses it would be greatly appreciated is the InOut specifier could be augmented with InOutCenter and InOutEdge specifiers.

EDIT: When I submitted this post I noticed that it it showed up as having been posted "in a few seconds" - should this not have been "a few seconds ago"?

You can find a real glass clip with water in the show 0555 from Alexa Tomas / Hot Spring Evening. it looks very good I think.

Cage clips were no longer produced since some members whined about in a survey. like we lost weapons before.
The only result of that survey was that we lost variety.

In older cards we can find cars, bikes, tables and chairs and even a bathtub or a copying machine and so on. I miss those times
when they just did the things without asking anyone.

I miss motorcycles too, and I know a lot of members like them as props.
I often wonder how great it would be to have a motorbike rotating on the blue blue stage with the model climbing all over it like they do in Crazyhorse in Aust. and elsewhere.
@Emu now that Totem has licked the technology of water, so to speak..how about adapting the cage to a few shower clips ? Even a hand-held sprinkle would be nice to see. Yes ?

I also miss the occassional large props such as cars, motor cycles, desks, armchairs and photocopiers. Its not that they were any better than the clips without them, but as Virt4B indicated they did provide much needed variety. Please, Totem, reconsider your decisions regarding Cages and large accessories, they are sorely missed.

Can you give some examples of cards with bath tubs in them? I would really like to check those out

card 239 Axelle Parker / Bath time

old card, 720p, some clips with bathtub

;)

Chelsea French a0720 / Bubble Bath is a nice one too :)

Searching for Bath among my collection, which is only missing cards that are no longer available, indicates that a0239 (Bath time). a070 (Bubble bath) and e085 (Relaxing bath) are the only cards that use the word "bath". Of these a0239 and a070 do feature an actual bath but e085 does not, just a bath robe. So it looks like there are only two such cards - which is far too few for my taste.
