Bit short, but some funny moments. The series is getting better.

I liked the in-joke, by the way, although it wasn't what I have been complaining about, obviously. It was actually quite imaginative :)
 
Do you guys think it'd be a good idea not to include the episode number in the youtube title? So nobody feels like they need to watch the others to understand? I mean this show doesn't have a big story arc so far since every episode is a self contained story

I suppose ep 1 is kind of relevant to the rest, as it sets the gaggle of bounty hunters against him? But otherwise, I'm not sure that it makes a difference. Personally I like to see how something progresses from ep 1 to ep X, the small changes etc - to the extent that I even tend to watch sketch shows in strict episode order even when there is no need to.
 
Personally I would keep the "Episode X" in the Title, it tells people its a webseries and it helps them keep track of which episodes they have watched/need to watch.

As for the lack of an overall story arc, I'm with @Maz with that one, even if its only by the tiniest bit, the character should grow and a story should progress, otherwise it ends up being "flat" after a while unless you are expertly ramping up the comedy in each episode.
 
What if I put "Sci-Fi Comedy Series" in the title?

You bring up a good point, but at the same time, it seems like people won't watch them when there's an episode number in the title... kind of a paradox... I'm just trying to prevent any reason people won't watch them
 
Oh and trust me, there'll be story arcs. It's the next logical step in it's progression. I just don't feel it's at that point yet

But if it gets popular enough, I'd like to be able to make 30 minute episodes
 
At the end of the day its your webseries, title it as you want.

If you are monitizing the series (which you should), keep the episodes short as you don't benefit from longer episodes; that and people tend to "tune out on youtube" unless you got 30 minutes of solid comedy.
 
Mike,
You're doing good work on this.
It shows that you've planned this out very well.
The quality of scripting is consistent.
The quality of production is consistent.
The stories are diversified within the universe you've created.

It would be nice to see this catch on to some greater numbers of viewers, but Rome wasn't built in a day, so...
Best wishes.

FWIW, I strongly believe you need to keep numbering the episodes to maintain continuity over the life of the project.
Also consider working seasons to step back and take a break from the project for a month or so each year.
52 4-6min episodes non-stop for two or three years as a creative sole proprietor is going to be respectively demanding. All the hats you wear will... wear on a guy.


PS - nice nude scene in the shower, big boy. ;) :lol:
