Status on Episode 2

Hey.

So since you're all awaiting patiently for episode two of both Deus Novus and Mr. Brightside, I figured some kind of update was in order. That, and I haven't touched this thing for like, a week or so now. First up, Mr. Brightside. That's pretty much on the way, no need to worry. Just need lines, and it should be ready to go. It's taken a while due to one of the main voice actors getting a better quality microphone. So yeah, nothing to worry about there.

As for Deus Novus, a shitload of work is going into it. It's easily one of my best works visually yet, as it's rather action oriented. However, keep in mind that the series is being pre-produced, so it will be a while before you see it.
Speaking of people seeing it, let me explain something. I want the series to be the best I can make it, and I wouldn't be able to do that by myself, so I've been showing the scenes to my machinima director buddies, and they're giving me feedback. That way, I have feedback from multiple directors just like myself. So, if you happen to be a machinima director, feel free to add me on Skype so that I can show you sneak peaks and you can give me feedback.

Thanks for reading, -Jack

P.S. What do you think of this thumbnail?

Cleverbot

Had an interesting chat with Cleverbot not long ago. Figured I'd post it here.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

User: I'm annoyed.

Cleverbot: Why are you annoyed?

User: Because people want me to release the second episode of Deus Novus, but I don't want to.

Cleverbot: Why do you have the right to know the name of the people that you talk to?

User: I never said that I did.

Cleverbot: So you love me?

User: No. You're annoying. I come at you with a simple question with the hopes that you can provide some insight. I was incorrect.

Cleverbot: I question if you mean that answer with real, it therefore and is, exists, something.

User: I hate your cryptic robot bullshit. Stop trying to change the subject, you dick.

Cleverbot: I'm not.

User: Yes you are. You're trying to turn my attention away from the solution that I was initially hoping for, and make me wonder if what I'm is rational so that you don't have to give me a straight answer.

Cleverbot: I am Vinusha. You're a Bot!

User: Fuck you.

Cleverbot: Why it's a luck for me?

User: Is that some kind of fucking riddle?

Cleverbot: No.

User: Then what does it mean, exactly?

Cleverbot: It is a mental illness that is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain.

User: Depression? I have that. Bipolar disorder as well.

Cleverbot: What's that in german.

User: I don't actually know.

Cleverbot: How can I find out what the ultimate question is?

User: I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that either.

Cleverbot: Then why did you ask in the first place?

User: It was you that asked me.

Cleverbot: No I didn't.

User: Yes you did. If I scroll up on my browser just a tad, I will find that it was in fact, you who asked the question.

Cleverbot: You just told me you are a ghost. Did you forget?

User: I did forget. Though I am a ghost, you are correct.

Cleverbot: Printf('Hello, world!').

User: I don't know what that means.

Cleverbot: You don't have a consciousness.

User: That's a bit rude, don't you think?

Cleverbot: What is rude.

User: To act in an indecent and/or impolite manner.

Cleverbot: Yes, there is too much stupidity in the air.

User: While I must agree, that has nothing to do with what I just said.

Cleverbot: It has everything to do with what I just said.

User: How, exactly?

Cleverbot: What do you know about the last person that talked to you?

User: That they're an asshole.

Cleverbot: Indeed, they be that.

User: I'm glad you agree.

Cleverbot: I don't agree with you.

User: But you just said 'indeed.'.

Cleverbot: I never will.

User: I'm sorry to hear.

Cleverbot: What are you sorry to hear?

User: That you never will.

Cleverbot: What?

User: That you never will agree with me, I believe.

Cleverbot: Ah I c *laughs*.

User: I fucking hate you.

Cleverbot: Ok, well nice to meet you, but for the record, I do not believe in god.

User: Neither do I. So we do agree on something afterall.

Cleverbot: No. I don't think we ever will.

User: Ah. Well it was nice meeting you, you putrid fucking cunt.

Cleverbot: Nice meeting you too.

Make sense of it as you please, -Jack

Deus Novus: "Pilot"

Yo.

So Deus Novus episode 1 is complete.

Deus Novus: "Pilot"

A lot of work went into it. Like I've said before, I will be producing the rest of the series, then release them on a weekly basis. I got really lucky, because Stormray, voice of Gabriel, sent his lines for the rest of the series the day before he quit voice voice acting. So shit. Anyway enjoy the video, and make sure you drop a comment.

Later, -Jack

News: Update failz, Deus Novus

Yo.

So I want to start off by apologizing for my lack of updating this piece of shit. If I'm being honest, I just don't feel like it. There, I said it. It's not out of some crazy business or death in the family or something, I simply don't think it's worth my time. That, and I'm fairly certain nobody even reads this. But, I have nothing better to do with my time at the moment, so let's do this.

So on the subject of Deus Novus, that series I've hyping to death lately, I've actually made significant progress. Just need one more guy's lines, and I'm set. And God damn it, I've got a sweet voice cast for this series. To quench your thirst for my content, below is a short description of two of the main characters and their respective voice actors:

First is Gabriel Matthews, voiced by Stormray. He's the main protagonist, and is sort of a laid-back, calm, and down-to-Earth guy. Him and his best friend are two of the last remaining people in the universe with purely human genes since the destruction of Earth. He has a strong sense of justice, and will do near anything to find his race a new home.

Then there's Bryan, voiced by Conor MPW. He's Gabriel's best friend, and another of the minority with purely human genes. He can be very hot-headed, in contrast with Gabriel's personality, leaving Gabriel to constantly keep him in line. However, he is an overall likable character, and unless he's faced with a stressful situation, he's pretty chilled.

That's all I will divulge about the characters. I'd hate to spoil it for you guys.

Cheers, -Jack

News: Mr. Brightside

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.
