Major News: Exclusive Pics From Episode 2, The Message as Production Wraps!




Hey there.
Got some major news to announce.

The second episode of the MOTW WebSeries is just about done.

On Wednesday (Sept. 24) production wrapped on "The Message", the webisode that my friend, Brad Fish, worked on. He not only directed the episode, but stars in it as well, working on the story that I wrote.

There still is some pick up shots to be done as well as effects work. But, if things work out, episode 2 should debut sometime this weekend or early next week.

In the meantime, here are some exclusive pics from the episode:






I'm also working on a short promo trailer for the episode, hopefully it'll be up in the next couple of days.
Stay tuned, as we move get closer to the premiere of the second episode of the webseries.

Major News: Web Series Season Limit Set

Hey there

As I told you in the last post, plans are slowly coming together about the MOTW webseries. I just recently talked with someone who's agreed to write and direct an episode for the series. And with that, barring any last minute changes, that fills the last available open slot.
And with that slot now filled, the question is: how many episodes will be a part of the webseries?
Well, after looking over the list of those who are planning one and those who I have talked to, I've determined that there will be a 12-to-18 episode season. Here's the plan as it stands right now:
-As far as I know, twelve episodes are locked in. Two are in production right now, while another is being completed after dealing with some delays. The rest are in the writing stages or have completed their scripts.
-In addition to the 12, there are at least six episodes that may or may not happen. I've talked with those and have to hear back from them or may have some issues that may delay things from getting started. As far as I'm concerned, these will be part of the series until I hear otherwise.
-I've personally written at least five of the episodes and have contributed to at least two more. In addition, I'll be directing two of the stories, both will tie in directly to the full length MOTW movie.
-Out of the eighteen possible episodes, two will come from England, one from Canada, one from Brazil, while the rest will be set in the US.
-As mentioned before, the time frame of the episodes will range from five minutes and up. One will even be a two part episode.
-The plan to release a new episode each month, barring any last minute changes, remains the same. This is the reason why there has been a two month gap between the first episode back in June and the second, which will be released no later than September 30th. There's also the possibility that two episodes may air in one month, but I'm not going to do that until enough episodes are completed in order to attempt that.
-Episodes will air on YouTube, MySpace and other video outlets to be announced soon.
-I'm also planning to release trailers for upcoming episodes as well as newly created promos for the series as things move on.

So that's how things break down. I was asked about the possiblity of a second season. As of right now, it's way too early to consider that. But if these stories are well received and if there's enough interest for more, then I will strongly look into another season. But for right now, my focus in on the episodes in development.
In the coming weeks, I'll mention the names of those who will be taking part in the webseries. And in the next post, I'll release new photos of what will be the second episode.

Major News: Exclusive Pics from Future MOTW Web Series Episodes

Hey there.
First of all, some news to report. It's looking like the slots for the MOTW webseries episodes are starting to fill up. I just talked with someone who's agreed to do one and more than likely, unless things change, that will be the last open spot for the webseries, unless I decide to do a second season. I'll keep you posted and fill you in on who's doing the other episodes.

Also, I've told you recently that some episodes are in production right now. Here's some exclusive screen shots from two that are in the works.
First, here's some shots from Tony Gardner's episode, "The Garage". Filming began a few weeks ago and he has informed me that if things hold, it should be completed by the end of the month.









And, here is a couple of shots from the yet to be named episode that Brad Fish is doing. Filming began a couple days ago (Sept. 9th) and he hopes to have it ready sometime this month:



Now, barring any production delays, one of these episodes will have its premiere later on this month. The other, will probably debut in October. I'll let you know which one will have the respective slot.

That's it for now. I'll have another update soon.
