    Yes you did. The second video has music and sound by our very own MetalRenard. Yay! About the first video. I agree. The sound could be better. I wish I had the opportunity to work with it before they turned it in. Audacity? What? Aren't you a Reaper man?

    archived-videos 48 Hour film Fest and Cinema Feature Concept Video

    A couple movies for you guys. One we did as a promo for a possible digital feature. The other we did a couple weeks ago for the 48 Hour film fest. Interesting tidbit: I showed up to work behind the scenes and somehow ended up acting in it. Oh well, I'll take it. Very open to ideas. Oh...

    Fun indeed. So far we are going a head with it. Will give me a chance to break in some new crew members too. Happy times.

    Unsolicited Audition Video

    Question: Let's say an actor with no chance of getting a very high profile role created an audition video for that role, made it go viral online, and got the right people to see it. What is the worst that could happen? I once heard a story about a guy that used nefarious means to grab...

    Oh CRAP!

    He is probably right. While there are a few exceptions, NBC does not tolerate hits these days.

    Still Churning out content I see. I have put up a couple new videos. Mainly just tests for the crew to view. Using it to perfect camera angles and concepts.

    Unreliable cast!!

    Trim the fat. I have 4 people I can count on. I write meaty parts for them. If I need more characters I create roles I can film in one day. I also write scenes with unreliables working with a reliable, but only if I really NEED another person. I would rather put make up or a mask on...

    Building an Audience from Scratch: Your Ideas

    I didn't like the "1st" episode of Firefly when I saw it. Turned it off. Years later came back to it, and loved it. Also just watched the first Episode of Justified. I am all copped out with police dramas, but I will give it a couple episodes.

    Thank you. Those are excellent ideas.

    Building an Audience from Scratch: Your Ideas

    You do have a valid point. I have a few ideas that would work with a finished product, but vaporware or dreamscreen would not drum up much support. People do need to see something to beleve, and even a trailer of what to expect may not be enough.

    Building an Audience from Scratch: Your Ideas

    I thought about a similar strategy. I was going to start before the episodes came out. Hitting up local haunts with information about the series and building a strong presence online.

    Both. I am wanting this to be a discussion where we all share information that can be used to launch and grow current and future IPs.

    SAG question.

    I have the same issue. I only use this one actress for union backed short films. While there is a good chance your actor will never be discovered, the penalty for him if caught could be quite severe.

    Comic Fans Science Fictions Fans We are going to start with the Local scifi scene. We will be hitting up comic book stores, roleplay events, gaming events, etc pre-hyping the series, but only after the first episode in in post and the second one has been filmed. That will give us a bridge...

    No more begging...

    We will be shooting a bi-weekly prequel series to try to build an audience for the movie. As far as timing goes, I replaced a couple of the crew members. We will use the first episodes to get them acclimated to what we are doing. The time spent on the webisodes will allow us to create a more...
