COMING SOON: "PREY" Heroine Arena's LAST VIDEO + trailer announcement

Hello friends, it has been a while. I and those who have been associated with my company and projects have been busy with life and other endeavors. But we've managed to finally get our last video in the can and will be releasing it in the coming weeks. The episode is titled "Prey," which follows the adventures of a former special-forces operative named Sonya Webb. I've included a couple of BTS pics below. We're very proud of this last one. Everyone was a true professional on set. Keep an eye out for the announcement in Latest Releases.

NOTICE REGARDING OUR TRAILERS:

I just received the notice today from YouTube that our account has been terminated due to "multiple violations," specifically our content. Apologies to those who have tried viewing any of these trailers. From the first deleted video notice that we received, this has been truly perplexing. Somehow our trailers were deemed too provocative, yet I have seen numerous videos on YouTube that are far more so, some of them being full-on softcore porn, nudity and all. This has been quite baffling, to say the least. They had previously age-restricted one of our videos, so why couldn't they just do this with all of the others rather than terminating the account? Anyway, with the end of Heroine Arena drawing near, I'm not even going to dispute it with YouTube. I tried this in the past and they usually stand by their decision, at least in my experience. So with this final push for sales of our videos upon the release of "Prey," we will simply upload the deleted trailers to our Vimeo account.

Thanks for your patience.

Finn

That's usually because someone has reported it. YouTube doesn't spend any time actually reviewing content that's been reported unless you appeal it and that's a pain in the ass but I've heard sometimes it works.

This also happens in Rated G YouTube land. PewDeePie gets copystriked a lot by other Jealous Youtubers...

Good to see you back!

Hey MH,

Yeah, well based on the lack of results from my disputes of previous deletions I'm not inspired to try to appeal. Besides, it's just the trailers which like I said can be uploaded to Vimeo.

And thanks, good to be back, albeit for a short period of time.

Hope all is well. See you later!

Finn

Hey Mav! We're just starting to edit so it will be a little while before we get around to the trailer, which is usually done soon after the final cut is completed. And don't bother trying to search for our YouTube channel. It's officially dead. So yes, Vimeo it is.

You can simply refer to her as "Mikaela."

Hi Joe and everyone else.

We are happy to report that the video is finished. It is scheduled to be released next Wednesday, August 22, 2018. We are very proud to have this as our final release. In terms of production quality and performances, it is overall one of our better products.

Once the video is released we will also announce the date our site will be closing. Keep in mind that while Heroine Arena will end, this isn't a goodbye from me. I will keep this forum account open and might drop in from time to time.

Please note that for the right offer we will still be open to producing private (full) customs to be made exclusively for any fan who has the means. For details visit:https://www.heroinearena.com/private-customs

I will also include a public service announcement, words that I have been wanting to share with you all for a little while now.

In the meantime, enjoy the new screen caps below.

We appreciate your patience.

Best,

Finn

Hi Finn-

Mikaela looks great. Sad to see you end your production run. But if you're still offering customs, and if custom offers do come in, then why not just keep the production company and post those? Would be interested to see more of your work in the future.

Also, thanks for selling us a high-quality costume that Heroineburgh used in Episode 7 (Lunessa) and that will appear again in the upcoming Episode 13. Always the best!

Hey shevek!

How's everything going?

Yeah, Mikaela's fantastic. To be honest, she's quite possibly our best discovery to date. Not only does she obviously have a great look, but I and others who worked on this video agree that she's got some real talent, perhaps the most talented actress we've ever worked with on these shoots. This is also her first time performing stage combat, which she picked it up surprisingly very quickly. It also helps that she's very easy to work with and refreshingly down-to-earth. I think fans are going to love her.

As for your suggestion on staying open, the numbers are what determined my decision in the end. Running the site still requires some overhead, and to keep revenue flowing it's clear that I cannot simply rely on occasional customs to accomplish this. I realized that I would have to release content more frequently in order to maintain the brand and keep it relevant. Now, I could achieve this by paying out of pocket and opting for lower production value, shooting in someone's apartment or a public place using basic angles on a cell phone or some other cheap camera. But I do not find this style of filming the least bit fulfilling, and after observing the metrics since launching the site I don't foresee this making a huge difference to the bottom line anyway. So, at least until we don't get any more offers, the customs we're going to produce after "Prey" will be strictly private.

I'm glad to hear that the Lunessa costume has worked out for you. It does look great on your actress. I hope you continue to make good use of it.

Speaking of costumes, for anyone that's interested we're now giving away whatever we have left. If there's anyone who wants costumes from the Time Maidens, Ascent, Crimson Dove, etc., then let us know now! All we ask is that you cover the cost of shipping to your location.

Thanks again, shevek.

Finn

Lol Joe, are you telling me that you are so impatient that you can't even wait 4 more days?? Well, the trailer should be finished by Monday night, so look for it on our Vimeo channel sometime around then (link in the signature below).

Thanks, Mav! The overall quality of this one is probably our best, at least in my opinion.

Hi Finn-

Christ, yes! (re the costumes) Check your PMs in a little while (I'm busy running sound for a concert at the present moment...)

Wish Mikaela lived here, we'd make her a lead heroine in the League. :)

Bought it and enjoyed it! It is a short clip and packs a lot of elements that people will like I'm sure: M/F fighting with good reactions, a brief handcuff arms behind scene with some face blows, an AOH electro scene (my favorite; especially since she's awakened with some water to the face), a brief escape, and then an upper spreadeagle belly and face punching scene. "Mikaela" looks great, especially once she's stripped of her shirt to a tube top which shows her fit upper body. My only complaint is that the movie wasn't longer :p Thanks Finn and wish you the best in whatever you do now!
