Video #697: It’s the first Friday of September… which is just perfect for today’s special “Studio Cam Launch” announcement.

IN THIS POST: — announcement — membership — studio cam — behind the scenes — fly on the wall — raw — webcam — (Topics marked with an asterisk* are discussed in the Comments Section below).
We are excited to announce that the first three batches of Studio Cam Videos have now been posted in the members' library.
Each Studio Cam Batch, is a 1 hour (plus or minus) compilation of exclusive behind-the-scenes video clips, depicting my life as a professional polymer clay artist.
What you will see in these raw unedited videos, are the things that I go through every day… the creation of new tutorials, the testing of products, the organizing, the chaos, the color mixing, the new supplies, the struggles and the triumphs. Maybe even a few rants!
At this time, these Studio Cam videos will only be available to those who own all the back issues in the Polymer Clay Tutor members library. So… if you are interested in seeing these fly-on-the wall inner circle videos, and you want to purchase the rest of the PcT back issues that you don’t yet own… then email and let us know, and we’ll do our best to put a special package deal together for you.
Keep in mind, this is raw impromptu footage. Doug is not doing the videography, so the filming quality is not near as good as what you have come to expect with our back issue tutorial presentations.
These studio clips are off-the-cuff, webcam videos filmed whenever inspiration strikes, even if my hair is messy! Sometimes the lighting isn’t the best… and the audio may not always be in sync with my lips… and closeups are not nearly as good as what Doug does. BUT… I think you will really like the true-to-life spontaneity! It will feel like you are right there in my studio, spending the day, making this creative adventure come together. Day by day and clip by clip!
Now… although the first three months of videos are all uploaded and ready to watch… Doug has not yet had time to add log-in access for all the qualifying members. Don’t worry, though, everyone who is supposed to get in, will definitely get in.
INSIDER TIP: For those of you who want to jump to the front of the line… all you have to do is leave a comment below to let us know, and we’ll move you to the top of the pile :-)
No transcript for this video.
Our goal is to translate these videos into as many languages as possible. If you are interested in helping with this initiative, then please do contact us and we will figure out a way to make it worth your while :)

Cindy
I must say that I have become addicted to these Studio Video cams. It took a minute for me to adjust to the different presentation, but, now, I wish you could just stream live on certain days when you are refining new projects.
I love the craft shopping bag reveals (I live vicariously, lol) and being able to watch your thought process and hands as you try new ideas. Your enthusiasm is addicting!
Cannot wait to see how you will integrate this approach as you rework the site….
Fondly always
Jocelyn
That is great Jocelyn! It always takes time to get adjusted to new things, especially when there really isn’t a benchmark to set it against. But our guts have been saying that it is an important direction to be going, so we’re going for it! You’ll find the further you get into them, the more you will get out of them. I appreciate your feedback. It means a lot coming from a ‘clay veteran’ like you! :)
Doug,
Can you add me pleases.thanks
Jackie Norris
Hi Jackie… OK you’re in :-)
Just wondering if I qualify to watch the video cam
Welcome to the PcT community Gabriele.
Access to the Studio Cam videos is currently for members who own all of the back issue volumes. And since you just signed up last month, you have a ways to go.
Hi Doug, Just looked at the Intro of the Video Cam. Works great. Can’t view the next ones however, if you could set me up for that.
Thanks very much.
Joy
Hello Joy… I have gone ahead and added your access to the Studio Cam videos.
hello, wondering if I qualify to access the behind the scenes videos? I believe I own all of the back issues.
Hi Aimee… I just sent you an email.
Hello Doug, I am a fairly new member, and i have purchased a lot of back issued I know you must have a lot of request but do I qualify because I would love to see what you do and Cindy do to bring us the tutorials each month.
The only ones I don’t have are ones I can no longer get something in the video, color of clay or some piece of equipment or I am just not able or like something.
Please let me in on the behind the scene work.
Sandy Dellinges
Hi Sandy… I just sent you an email.
I came in late so I can’t afford the hundreds in back issues that it would cost to get studio cam access. I’d actually like to know when the new site is going to launch so that I can start receiving new tutes again. My newsletter has also had the same recipe for 3 weeks straight. I’m assuming now those will have to be paid for? That’s fine, but when will we have access to the new content for those of us who aren’t studio cam privileged?
Hello Iris,
I tried doing a look up to make sure your library account has been receiving the “new-for-you” back-dated Volumes that should have been uploaded to your paid subscription account… but I could not find you anywhere in the customer database.
If you would like me to investigate this further, just use one of the “Contact Us” links on this page, and let me know which email address you used to set up your paid library account… or you could let me know your login username.
In regards to the newsletter, although you have been seeing the same Palette Photo over the last 4 weeks, the actual recipe card links have been changing each time. Plus there has been a new link each week providing you with a new video from our YouTube Channel.
Wow! Based on the comments it looks like you and Doug have a major hit on your hands, Cindy. Congrats.
Sorry it took me so long to view them and comment back. I love them. More Cindy is always a good thing. Love your tone and enthusiasm in these clips, and it is fascinating to watch you formulate tutes behind the scenes!
Please keep them coming!
Sorry, Doug, I have been traveling, not able yet to watch anything lately! Will do so soon!
Thanks for all of your fantastic work! Cindy and you are THE BEST!
Very best regards to both of you! Christl
OK sind Sie in auch! Danke für Ihre netten Worte.
WOW, Doug, I am impressed with your “German”. Your talents have no limit! Danke und Auf Wiedersehen!
Hi Cindy, please add me to the studio cam launch, I’m really looking forward to having the opportunity to seeing behind the scene. Much appreciated ,
~ Trish
I just sent you an email Trish.
Still not able to get in so when you get time please add me too. Thanks much!
You’ve been added Eva. Enjoy!
Please add my access for the studio cam videos. I am so curious!
Thanks
Hanne
OK du er i også :-)
When you get time, please add my access for the studio cam videos, Thanks, Kath
Hi Kathy… you were actually added a while back. When you follow the instructions in the video to access the Studio Cam Videos… what is happening for you?
When you get time, please add my access for the studio cam videos, Thanks, Beth
OK Beth… you are in!
Hi,
I’m really hoping to be added, soon! I have a few days vacation, and would love to be able to spend them seeing the Studio Cam videos!
If you have time – thank you!
If you don,t – I’ll understand.
Take care, and have a nice weekend!
Nice to hear from you Mette… all the way over there in Norway. You now have access to the Studio Cam videos!
Btw… back in my University days, I had the opportunity to visit your “home town” of Bergen. I took a passenger ship from Newcastle (UK) over to Norway… and Bergen was the port of entry into your fine country of fijords and viking folklore. It was actually a pretty rough ride over the North Sea… I remember there was a band playing in one of the entertainment lounges, and the drummer was having a really difficult time keeping up to his drum set as it slid from one side of the stage to the other, while the boat was tossing back and forth from wave to wave… and it was a BIG boat! This was way back in the mid 80’s… fond memories!
Thank you!
I have taken the same boat lots of times – and it can be a really rough trip! My favorite trip was coming back from Newcastle in the mid ’80’s and absolutely everybody except me and the pianist got seasick just half an hour into the voyage. By the way: That boat trip does not exist anymore.
Hope you liked Bergen! I spent my younger days on other continents, but decided to come back. I haven’t regretted it, even though our weather is quite rainy. You are welcome to visit! If the climate doesn’t continue changing, I recommend May/June.
Who knows… maybe we happened to be on the same ship way back when (circa 1984 for me)… I was one of the other few passengers that managed not to get sick. My strategy of having just enough beer (but not too much) seemed to work well… that… plus my decision to sleep outside on a cot which I managed to safely lash to an inside railing with my sleeping bag to stay warm (I was young :-).
I’m not surprised that boat trip no longer exists. It definitely was not for the faint of heart.
Hi Doug,
I don’t have access to the cam videos and I have all the videos.
Can you open them up to me please.
Thanks Edie
“Yes please add me to the front of the line…” or “…the top of the pile…” or some other witty quip of your choosing :-).
OK Edie… you are in!
BTW… I see that your “Gravatar” photo is all black. You can update this by going to the Gravatar web site.
NOTE TO ALL: If anyone else wants to have a custom image show in place of that grey-box, generic Gravatar image, you can do that at the Gravatar web site. You can either upload an image of yourself or of something else that you feel best represents your personality.
Still not able to view?
Hi Edie – I just checked your account again… you should be able to access the studio cam videos. There may have been a caching issue… please check again and let me know. But don’t worry… I’ll definitely be able to get this figured out for you, one way or the the other.
