Important Post: On Branding

It would appear that nothing is going on here from just a mere glance, but that is one tall fib. A lot is going on behind the scenes, much more than you know, and all the dust of our construction (specifically, Nick and Jeff’s constructions) should settle, leaving behind something superb in the aftermath.

After taking a long hard look at things, it dawned on us that with all of our new endeavors (GRIEF, Web Zeroes, GamerSushi, etc), we can’t just be known as The Leet World any longer, as is the case for our base of operations (this site) and other things like our YouTube account. But rather, we need everything to be focused around who we are, and that is Smooth Few Films.

What that means is, we’re getting a new website. Several, to be more accurate. By the end of the weekend (fingers crossed), this whole place is going to look different, and smoothfewfilms.com will be a part of the Smooth Few Films network. We are also launching a new SmoothFewFilms YouTube account that will eventually replace the old one, and if you frequent that site feel free to go ahead and subscribe.

Over the weekend, we’ll release some announcement videos there to attempt some grand migration of our subscribers from one account to another, leaving the old one behind as some ragged skeleton full of old videos. It’s not going to be pretty (or easy), but it’s better to do it now than later. The Web Zeroes pilot will hopefully be coming alongside all of that.

So yes, big steps are coming. And once they are done, production hits the ground running on all fronts.

Also, Ty (the voice of Mendoza) has made it into the second round of the AMC Mad Men competition. Feel free to lend your support once again, and show what a great supportive community we can be.

Edit: In addition, Happy Birthday, Ty.

    Once again, I think most of us just can’t wait to see GRIEF and Web-Zeroes 😀

    *and I gotta say this* (FIRST!)

    btw, is most of this stuff in production? or do you have most of it filmed?

  2. John

    First post get.

    Good to hear that there are big things coming this way. Can’t wait to see what you guys pull off.

    Edit: Dangit, somebody beat me to it by mere seconds.

  3. Doug

    First!

    (leave it to the ad nerd to get excited about branding)

    sunuvabitch, really people? I’m third, now?

  4. Dustin

    Apparently, the person who got first doesn’t care for it, and the two who didn’t get it wish they had.

    A large network of mirrors Smooth Few Films, plus a YouTube account? You guys are getting bigger with every small project you complete. Glad to know that I started watching your videos as early as I did. Hope to see you guys through ’till the end.

  5. Nabsuh

    Sorry, I just haven’t scored first post before 😛

    Not that I care over it too much…

    Anyway, vote for mendoza!

  6. R. Thompson

    I’m glad you guys are drawing attention to the actual production, as opposed to a single aspect of this great enterprise. A sound marketing move, and one that will hopefully boost the success of the Smooth Few (you fellas).

  7. SNOWMAN7

    Sounds great guys! Hope one day you will be head to head with “Lit fuse” and “Rooster Teeth”. Keep up the good work!

    btw, I think you are overwhelming Lit Fuse films already. Eh, guys?

  8. Eddy

    In numbers, yeah, pretty handily. But not overwhelming them in any other category. Like being technical craftsmen and wizards with the Source engine. That completely belongs to them.

  9. James Blond

    Don’t sell yourself short, Eddy. As of the Leet World finale, you guys trumped Lit Fuse. I’m still trying to decide between you and RT.

  10. Eddy

    What a lot of people don’t seem to realize is that if we just did TLW, we would die. As a business, for one, since we can’t sell it, but also just in terms of our sanity. But I’m still thrilled people like the show that much.

  11. Ty

    This is the second round. You guys catapulted me
    the first time thank you very much.

    Hey Eddy can I have my own SFF web page?

    Something like “Hey look what Ty is pointing at!”
    or “Seriously man, cut it out.”

    oh and next week I will be in London. If any LW fans spot me
    please don’t mention you know me from Leet World in front
    of my wife. Just say you recognize me from a pedophilia message
    board or something.

  12. Poison Angel

    Ty, your killing me xD

    Anyways, thats great you realize your not just TLW, but you are Smooth Few Films!!

    Looking forward to anything you guys got, take your time.

  13. nightvenom

    Siick can’t wait for the new stuff 😀

    And i voted for Ty again, still as great as it was before, i hope he wins 🙂

  14. zombie bait

    happy b-day Ty and i do hope that you win, if you dont feel free to use some ocho mureto bad ass on them!!!!!!!!

  15. -M4V3R1CK-

    Sweet news. Im hoping for that web zeroes thing even though your didnt tell us alot about it yet. Will there be a trailer for it? And when will the first G.R.I.E.F. episode come out im really looking forward to that. Oh and… *starts drooling* Muss… Get… Mores… LEETWORLD! I WANT MORE OF THE LEET WORLD! Plz?

    P.S. – Did anyone get google chrome? Im wondering if it is better than mozilla firefox. If your think it is plz tell me because I might use it instead of firefox.

  16. lolwt

    lolwut? Whenever I sign in at gamersushi it says gtfo and I get signed off of TLW wordpress. WTF? Help plz?

  17. Vertigosfx13

    This is great guys, glad to hear all the success. And that is a brilliant idea for the network thing, I recently did that for my gaming community, merged it into a network because I have the main community then a films division then a general gaming blog that is all merged into one now. It is a great thing.

    Keep up the good work and I’ll keep letting people know about your stuff…because from experience I know word of mouth is the greatest marketing tool…so keep it up!

    i have it, its not as fast but its good.
    it freezes a lot tho. im sticking with ff3

  19. boob-barker

    everyone vote for Ty or i will come to your house and beat you with a sack of babies till your eyes bleed.

  20. Trey

    Chrome is okay, it’s very clean. It’s still in Beta though and needs a add a few features to make things easier to work with. I like Chrome, but until it’s out of beta I’m primarily going to use Opera and Firefox.

  21. -M4V3R1CK-

    Ya, thx for the info on chrome. Also, Eddy do you think you could convert the shorts to iPod ready format also and all the videos to come. I have a PSP and thats where I watch your videos 99% of the time, and im sure alot of ppl have either a iPod or PSP and most ppl dont take their computer with them everywhere they go. So I think if you convert all the videos to Ipod ready format more ppl will watch your videos because its more convienient for them and they can watch them alot more. So if your not going to convert the videos then could you maybe at least make a poll of some sort and get ppl to vote if they like my idea or not, you could also make it so that if a certain amount of ppl vote yes then you will convert all the videos from now on. Hope to hear from you soon 🙂 Player FTW! Happy birthday Ty! (Will Ty be in future TLW episodes? I like his voice lol)

    PS – Are you going to make another RSS channel for your future plans for videos? Example: G.R.I.E.F. or for your shorts or all them together. And will there be a new one for TLW or are you going to wipe/keep the old one and add the new videos.

    Edit: Oh ya forgot to ask… whats the point of adding your email address and why is it required? (besides for email notifications of a reply)

  22. Weissberv

    chrome is faster than my mozilla 3.0, but it doesn’t work on most sites i go on a lot, so yeah i’m back on firefox atm.

    Yeah, we’ve been meaning to convert those, so we’ll do that. To be honest, I totally forgot that they weren’t converted, haha.

    To your edit: to keep out spam.

  24. -M4V3R1CK-

    LOL! You actually forgot that they werent converted… isnt it kinda obvious? And now that I know what the email is for ima get a gravatar. 🙂 Another question… wats the website part in the leave a reply for?

    Well, I have all the videos on my hard drive, so I’m not necessarily clicking around on the site to download things am I? 🙂

  26. -M4V3R1CK-

    No, but it been like that for more than half a year so i would expect someone would notice it and say something… I would have told you guys ealier but i thought you werent going to convert at all. So you all know, Nate Dogg is also my name if I post stuff but i dont use that name anymore. 🙂 Yay for gravatars!
    Edit: WTF!?! My gravatar isnt showing up on my computer screen?! hmm im gonna try and fix it. tell me if you know wat the problem is if there is one.

  27. Eddy

    Yeah, just something we missed. Next time, just send an e-mail and bring it to our attention. I for real like never go to the shorts page, and even if I am, I’m not there looking at what downloadable versions we have forgotten to put up. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, dude.
