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.


Thanks for reading, -Jack
