Interview (Continued)
look on everything we do. We also offer anyone to be a part of our team, so if anyone is interested they just need to e-mail us through our site. In general, I guess Spiral Creations was just inspired by my passions, and a mixture of wanting to create something that hasn’t been created yet where people can bond and make great friendships. I think it’s safe to say that we did a pretty good job in creating that and maintaining that.
Q:What has kept you creating new films and continuing to work for Spiral Creations?
A:You know, what really gets to me is the disappointment sometimes. And that’s something that gets to everyone. I mean, if you make something or plan to do something and it doesn't come out correctly, then you get disappointed. I’ve had a lot of disappointments in Spiral Creations. The biggest perhaps is that we are not that popular. I am not afraid to tell you (nor am I going to sit here and lie) that we depend a lot on official fan sites. It’s just so frustrating to know that Kingsisle doesn't have their fan sites submissions open and it really brings me down sometimes when I see less than a 100 views on a video (‘New Student’ episode 8 for example). On one hand I can’t complain, because we’re not an official fan site yet, so it’s obvious we won’t get the publicity. But then again, I get really brought down because we spend hours creating these productions that are just amazing, and even teach our younger audiences some lessons through these films (another unique thing about us).
80% of our e-mails come through people visiting our site through other fan sites, the other 20% come through people visiting our site through social media or typing in our site and checking out what’s new. I regret to say that I’ve thought of quitting a few times, but like I said, Spiral Creations is a family, and they've always helped me keep my head up. And to be honest the support we get from our fans, even though it isn't a large amount of support, is really helpful and is really even more inspiring to know that those who do watch our video really like them and will continue watching them. Seeing comments on YouTube, that’s just something all of us at Spiral Creations love seeing, because at least we know that our fan are engaged. The help we get from other people such as Wiz Magazine and the support we all give each other in the staff of Spiral Creations, I think is what keeps us all inspired.
