Thanks a lot for your feedback :)

Thanks Movingon! I want to make this! :)

Yeah I'm still figuring out a few different options. Web series is what I originally had in mind. Crowdfunding is totally new to me - the last web series I did ('LOL') was self funded, but received offers for distribution. So if Third Base had a micro budget, we'd probably make the money back...

Looks really promising - great job!

Thanks for the audio critique - very useful. I'll see if I can get a couple of audio mixers I know to take a look at it. It's probably worth mentioning that the entire post on this was completed in four days to meet a competition submission deadline. I did pretty much everything, so yep... the...

Thanks for the feedback guys - really helpful - I'm thinking I need to take another pass at the trailer to expand on the premise. The story is that the kids are there because their parents work on the Mars research base. The whole thing is also an experiment prior to full on colonization, to...

Just a quick update - Third Base has been accepted into the Phoenix Comicon, which is pretty exciting. Hopefully it will connect with some sci fi fans there!

Thanks Ryonix and DeJager. Have any of you tried Kickstarter/IndieGoGo? Do you think there would be an appetite for a project like this? Will try and get in touch with the guys at SyFy...

Thanks everyone for your feedback. We didn't win the funding unfortunately, but are looking at other ways to produce the webseries. Would be great to hear from anyone else who has had experience getting funded webseries into production! (There's now a HD version of the trailer on Vimeo...

Hi guys - thanks heaps for your comments. JakeSully - yes, did watch JJ's Star Trek movie a couple of times and liked the use of flares - has hugely been associated with anything set in the future... As we couldn't afford to hire in anamorphic lenses, we shot with Canon primes and generated as...

Introducing 'THIRD BASE' - a 60s promo for a new webseries that I wrote and directed. It follows a group of teens marooned on Mars. Think Battlestar Galactica meets Lord of the Flies. Shot on the F3 with a handful of Canon EF primes - plus an 11-16 and 70-210 zoom. DOP was Chris McHardy. It's...

Have just shot the six latest episodes of my web drama series "LOL" on the Red One. Some video grabs: Episode 4 is up on the website: http://www.lolseries.com and Vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/4050236 This was my first time shooting on the Red but I think the quality is great and a...

Hi MacV - thanks for your comments, you make some really interesting points. I'd agree Keely is pretty passive through the first webisode. It's only when she makes the decision to go to Dawber's house and sleep with him in webisode 2 does she start taking control of her life. I'd argue that's...

Cheers Thom 98 and Ace. I've just uploaded LOL webisode 1 in HD (720p) on Vimeo. The streaming quality from there is awesome!

Hey thanks for your feedback Bradley. Quite a lot of the audio was dubbed. We only had one mic so for scenes such as the classroom one where there's dialogue between characters stood at opposite sides of the room, I had to go back and re-record all that stuff. Seemed to synch up pretty well...
