Major News: Production Begins on New Webseries Episode

Hey there.

Over the Xmas holiday break, work has started on an upcoming episode of the MOTW Web Series.

Tim Vogt, who helped create the MOTW comic preview, "The Mark", has put together what will be a two-part episode for the webseries.

As usual, while episodes are in production, story details will be kept under wraps. But, in the meantime, here are some still shots from the first few days of production:

From The Director's Chair: The Garage's Tony Gardner

Hey there.

Today, I'm starting a new segment on the blog site, "From The Director's Chair".

This will give the directors of the webisodes to talk a little bit about their episode and some of their work behind the scenes.

To begin, here's a piece from the director of Episode 3: "The Garage", Tony Gardner:

Hey everyone,
It’s Tony Gardner from Iron Angel Film Productions
I just want to take this time to thank Mark for the opportunity for us to make this short contribution to the web series.
I have now known Mark for a couple of years and he has been a great online friend of mine, we both share a passion for film making and also Werewolf movies in particular.
This always leaves us with loads to talk about when we get in touch online.
Through these online conversations Mark had mentioned the web series and I was hooked on the idea straight from the start.
This was something I was looking forward to taking part in and did not want to miss the chance.

The film I was currently in production with "Dense Fear 2 " came to a stand still due to lack of funds , so I saw this as a great opportunity to get writing another script for "The Mark Of The Wolf" web series. whilst my other movie was on hold.
I came up with several ideas for a short movie, I also wrote the scripts in a way I knew would not cost any money to shoot the final film.
Me and Mark talked about the ideas I had and I emailed him the script for "The Garage"
Mark was really happy for me to go ahead with this idea, so I wasted no time in contacting my team of actors.

I was also lucky enough to have Kerriann Hearn who played the main part as the captured girl.
Kerriann actually had acting experience before, starring in a professional British movie "The Conkerers" so it was fantastic! having her onboard for the first time.
The completed movie did not cost a thing just as planned.
It was shot on a very basic hand held DV Canon camcorder.
The make up used in the movie was stuff I already had from previous movies.
All in all we had three great months of shooting this movie, and it’s an adventure we won’t forget.
Hope you all enjoy it
Thanks

I definitely want to again thank Tony and his cast and crew for their work with this episode. I understand that plans are in the works for additional scenes to be filmed for this episode and that they will be included when the webseries heads to DVD next year. I'll keep you posted.

In the coming weeks, watch for more Director's Chair posts from the other directors in the series including Will Phelps and Brad Fish, who directed the first two episodes respectively.

Major News: MOTW Channel Launches on Vimeo

Hey there.

Hope you're enjoying the latest episode in the MOTW WebSeries. As you've noticed, there's a Vimeo logo alongside the video link to "The Garage", the third episode in the series.

Well that's no coincidence.

Because with the world premiere of this episode comes the launch of a new outlet to showcase both the movie and the webseries.

Introducing the MOTW Channel on Vimeo.

This outlet will serve a number of purposes. First and foremost, with this, you'll be able to see each and every episode uninterrupted as is. Also, this will be used to showcase particular scenes or segments as well.

Another benefit will be this page will also be the home for weekly blog updates posted by yours truly, including some exclusives. I've also set up a forum where all of us can exchange messages, take part in discussions and post questions. There's also an announcement section for future MOTW related events, links to this page and other related sites, and more.

Right now, the second episode ("The Message") and the third episode ("The Garage") are on the site as well as their respective trailers. In time, I will add the first episode ("Conundrum") and other trailers as well. The goal is that every episode, promo, trailer, teaser and video related to MOTW will be posted on this site.

So here is the link to the channel: http://vimeo.com/motwchannel . I hope that you'll subscribe and play an active part with this as the site develops and grows in the coming months.

Of course, MOTW will also continue on YouTube and MySpace, and I'll be adding new venues in the future.

Thanks again and don't forget to check out the new site and let me know what you think.

Major News: MOTW Web Series Episode 3 WORLD PREMIERE!!

Here it is.

The third episode of the MOTW WebSeries: "The Garage".

An Iron Angel Film Production, in association with MarkOne Films.

Written and directed by Tony Gardner.

NOTE: This contains some bloody and gory scenes, so be warned.






I want to thank Tony and his friends for their work on this episode. I'll have more on this episode, with a message from Tony himself in a future post.

Hope you like the episode and please leave comments. Stay tuned for more.

Status Update: Production Wraps on Episode 3, World Premiere Coming Next Week!

Hey there.

Been a while since we had an update on the MOTW Web Series, but today I talked with my friend Tony Gardner, who's doing the third episode, "The Garage".

He tells me production has wrapped and it is now in the editing stage.

If things work out, expect the episode to have it's world premiere sometime next week.

While talking with Tony, he tells me that the early guess on how long the episode will run is about 24 minutes (twice as long as the first two episodes in the series combined) and as I told you a few weeks earlier, this will also be the first episode in the series where you'll see the character transform into the werewolf and also see him in action.

I also got a chance to look at a few screenshots from the episode and I can tell you flat out, this is going to be the wildest episode in the series so far. This one will be bloody and gory, so you've been warned.

I did pick out a couple of shots that'll give you an idea on what to expect. There's the one at the top of the post and then there's this one:

So stay tuned next week for the world premiere of Episode 3: "The Garage".

Major News: Introducing The Mark

Hey there. Hope you're enjoying Halloween so far.

Now the time has come for the second world premiere I was telling you about: The Mark.

What is "The Mark"?

This is something new to the MOTW universe.

Comics.

What you're about to see is a five page photo comic, plus the cover. Me and Tim Vogt, who'll be working on an upcoming episode of the MOTW WebSeries, came up with the idea for this. Just a test sample to see how this will go.

Plans are underway for another photo comic, this time a lot longer and in the same continuity as the movie and the webseries. And I'm also looking into a comic book version of the movie as well down the line.

So here it is.

The World Premiere of "The Mark" :

I also want to take the time to thank Kendra Sundermeyer for her photo work and digital artistry on this, especially the cover, and Shawn Swanson for his work on the comic as well.

Please let us know what you think of this. I think this is the beginning of a new and exciting area to the growing MOTW universe.

Happy Halloween everyone and stay tuned for more updates with the webseries and the full lenght film.

Status Update: First Look of the Werewolf from Episode 3: The Garage

Hey there.

Got a treat for you as you look at the photo above. This is the first look of the werewolf from "The Garage", the third episode of the MOTW WebSeries.

According to my friend, Tony Gardner, who's behind this episode, it took him about an hour to apply the makeup to John Davison, who's playing the lead role. The photo looks very very cool.

"The Garage" marks a first on two fronts. It'll be the first episode in the series that will actually show the werewolf in action, including a transformation scene. And, it'll be the first that will go longer than five minutes. From what Tony tells me, it'll be over ten minutes.

Watch for the world premiere of the full trailer this Halloween. The full episode will debut sometime in November.

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.

Major News: MOTW Web Series to Resume in September

Hey there.

As I'm sure you know, July has came and went without an episode from the webseries and with a few days left in this month, don't expect to see one for August either.

Due to production delays, the planned episodes will be rescheduled for a later time.

In the meantime, I can tell you that the web series will resume in September. Things are moving along with episodes that are in development. I've written a few scripts and a couple people I know have started filming their episodes. There will be an update about that in the next post.

So for those who were expecting to see the next installment, I ask for you to be patient until next month. The second episode of the web series will be on its way very soon.

Stay tuned.

New MOTW Episode Announced: The Garage

Hey there.

With the MOTW webseries underway, I'm pleased to announce that a new episode is in the works.

My online friend Tony Gardner from England has put together a story, called "The Garage" and after reading the script, I think it's an unique addition to the series.

Until the episode's ready to go, I'll keep the details about the episode under wraps for now, but Tony was kind enough to come up with a teaser poster for the episode. Here it is:



Tony's had some experience putting together werewolf movies, with both Dense Fear, and the upcoming sequel "Dense Fear 2: Bloodline". He's also done several segments for both of the trailers for the webseries, so I know he is up for the task of putting this episode together.

From what I understand, he should be getting ready to begin production on this very very soon. As soon as I get any photos or info on the episode, I'll post this on the blog site.

I wish Tony the best of luck with this episode as well as for his upcoming projects. For more about his projects, go to his site at http://www.ironangelproductions.co.uk/ and for more on Dense Fear and its sequel, go to
http://www.freewebs.com/densefear2/

That's it for now. Stay tuned for more updates as the webseries continues.

Major News: MOTW Web Series Episode 1 PREMIERE!!

Here it is.

After several months of talk, planning, constant delays and hard work, MOTW: The WebSeries is now officially up and running.

I want to thank Will for being able to put this together. He had to deal with a lot of delays with this episode, but at long last it is up.

So with that, the webseries is off and running.

From here on in, a NEW original episode will debut each month leading up to the full length movie's premiere.

Stay tuned for future posts as you'll find out what will be next month's episode.
