Hey.
So the first episode of my new series can be found here:
Mr. Brightside: "Pilot"
It's a much darker tone than most of my other content, with a pretty sweet storyline that I'm really thinking will be enjoyable. Make sure you drop a comment telling me what you think.
Thanks, -Jack
P.S. The ending to this episode may seem a bit redundant, but just wait until the next one. It'll make much more sense.

News: Deus Novus Trailer
Hey.
So here's the trailer for my new series coming up.
Deus Novus Trailer
The trailer doesn't present any real story. It hints at it, but I doubt you'll have any remote idea what's going on unless you're a friend or something and I've showed you that little intro to the series that I have up as unlisted. Before I go, I want to fill you guys in on a bit more information on what to expect from Deus Novus. First things first, the story is pretty original, I like to think. No human versus Covenant. As I've said before, I want my films to stand out, and that will never happen if I'm making human versus Covenant videos just like everyone else. There will be a number of original concepts other than the story. The music, for instance. I'm gonna try to go all out with music for this series, like, compose an original soundtrack and what-not. Now bare in mind, that's not to say the entire series will have original music, but a good number of it will be by me. Hell, maybe I'll even put some songs up on my soundcloud (which can be found here).
Anyway, that's all for now. Thanks for reading, -Jack

News: New Series Underway
O Hai.
So I'm currently trying to be a badass and update this thing more. Aren't I just so sufficient? So I'm going to divulge a bit of info on the new series. It's going to be in episodic format, that just makes it easier for me to produce. So far, I have four episodes written, each script is around 4-6 pages. In case you're not too familiar with screen-writing, the general rule is that one page of content is roughly one minute on screen, but with more action heavy stuff, it usually turns out longer. This means most episodes will likely be around 6-10 minutes, maybe even the occasional 10-15 minute episode, but no promises. Anyway, let's talk about the story and genre. This series (the title of which is "Deus Novus"), is a sci-fi action, very fantasy like. I can't really think of anything to compare it to to give an example of the tone, though I suppose that's a good thing, right?
So far, from the four episodes that I have written, I actually like the structure and flow of the story so far. While I do have faith that it will be enjoyable, it's worth noting that it takes a bit to pick up. The first episode is just to pull you in with a bit of action and exposition, then give you a basic idea of who some of the characters are. The action starts to pick up a bit more by episode 2, however.
Now for how the episodes will air. The series' schedule will be just a tad weird. I'm going to air the first episode, and just see if people enjoy it. If it gets a somewhat positive reception, I'll continue the series. Not everybody has to enjoy it, I don't expect that at all. If I was to make films thinking everybody would love it, well, I probably would have killed myself by now. Anyway, should the series continue (keep in mind, even if only a few people enjoy it, I will continue and try to improve, it's only if near everyone hates it that I'll do something different), there will be quite the gap between the first episodes and the next few. What I'm going to do, is produce every episode except the finale, then release those on a weekly basis while I work on the finale, which I hope will be pretty lengthy, but promises won't be made. I'm only four episodes in. Maybe sometime soon I'll make a small trailer for the first episode, but it's not concrete right now. Well, that's all for now, but while you're waiting, you can go right ahead and jerk off profusely to the first episode's thumbnail below.

News: Completely New Direction, Starting Fresh.
Hey.
So I've been thinking quite a lot about what I do as a film maker, and I don't like it, which is why I'm going to take my career (if you could even call it that) into a whole new direction. No more S n' A, and more importantly, no more Human versus Covenant. Now, if you've been keeping up with my videos as of late, you're probably aware that Remembrance is cancelled. I was surprised to hear that people were disappointed by this, which is simply beyond me. It was a generic Human versus Covenant machinima, nothing more. There are a million of them, so I'm going to be doing something completely new, creating my own world. I'll be releasing a pilot of sorts in the coming months, just to see if people enjoy my new way of doing things, and if they don't, then I'll do it differently.
Frankly, I'm sick of being bunched with the rest of the community. I want to stand out, I want things to be just like they were four years ago, when ideas were original and machinima directors were the cool kids. As a matter of fact, this very goal has become the mission of myself and a friend of mine.
Anyway, the next thing to talk about is something that I've been getting questions about quite a bit lately: the future. I'll be honest, I don't want to make machinima forever. I hope to get into live action film one day. Of course, that's not to say it will ever happen, but I can dream. Until then, expect original machinimas, rather than the generic Human versus Covenant machinimas from my channel.
