[TRAILHEAD] Keratin Garden New project with a female protagonist My "if you have a new project and want me to post your trailhead" inbox buzzed a few days ago and I would like to introduce this new thread to you guys:

We follow Story Parker as she is making her debut of showing people how to do their nails. And then...

Story's a name?
If nothing else, we will all have pretty fierce nails by the end of this.

Any idea what she's saying at end of vid 2? "Will you, will you (flip? flap?)"
Why does this remind me of The Haunting of Sunshine Girl? Maybe just her personality?
EDIT: at the end of video 3: is that a... cat's tail... or is that supposed to be a Slendy tentacle? It's just so awkwardly placed, but rather creepy if it is something IG... Different, at least.

Do you mean above her chair? I'm pretty sure that's her bird... it's been in a few shots before that.
So far I'm enjoying this series. The reason for filming is rather unique. Can't say I've ever seen another nail-tutorial-gone-wrong type of scenario. One thing I don't like is the blatantly obvious hints at a Slenderman stalking. Why would the protagonist leave in shots of her coughing? Or that shot at the end of the second tutorial? She must edit the videos to an extent, since it's not like she leaves in the parts where her nails are drying. In my opinion, the signs should be much more subtle. Just a small cough here and there or a little hint of distortion.

oh, a bird, okay. TBH, I quickly got bored of the nail-painting so scubbed through it until I saw distortion or heard coughing.
Slight critique: I also agree that the coughing is a bit too much, and the distortion is too WMM. Which, it probably is, but darkening or lightening are also WMM effects that are more subtle and less WMM-esque than Solarization is. (assuming the PM is lurking, a common practice )

I started coughing uncontrollably in the 3rd video. Talk about meta.

I think she was cut off in the middle of saying "were you flapping your wings?" to her bird, Darwin. she must have heard a sound that made her get up, and upon finding no feasible source for it, attributed the sound to Darwin. also, when the new clip starts around 3:39, I hear an "ee" sound, like she were finishing up the word "be," probably the end of a sentence similar to "what could that sound be?" upon first noticing the sound

I'm surprised nobody's updated this yet!

I liked this video, even though there was no action. I'm glad that the protagonist is answering viewer questions and hope that this sort of interactivity continues for the rest of the series. Also, I genuinely like the character... which is strange for me because Slender-series protagonists usually annoy me XD But other than that, not much to analyze.

Awesome. She looks completely drained compared to the last video.
Weird little tic at 0:58, couldn't see anything there but if anyone can extract the video file it might be worth investimagating.

Oi, looks like we have some new characters now. And so far this series is really great at having the feel of a legit vlog. Of course, with this video (spoiler:)

I can't wait to see how the series changes after the first sighting.

Really enjoying this one so far. I like that if someone stumbled upon it at first it really would seem like a legitimate nail vlog. Up until now.

Nice subtle glimpse in the latest video.
I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.
