Greeting Everyone!
Been some time since I last updated everyone on the project. So let get to it.
TSC as a Whole
I will start by saying the project continues to grow, its gaining more subscribers to the Youtube page, fans on the facebook page and members to the website forums. Our web views not just in regards to our videos but also the website, fan page and so forth on average are generating nearly a hundred pings ( I mean visits, views, searches and so forth). And alot of you are catching individual attention through the website. Yes, I can even track that. As it stands TSC is more popular now than it has ever been.
With the old videos being “syndicated” through vbctv.com and the new stuff being dsitributed through i-tunes and about ten other sources our visibility has increased a great deal.
TSC Seasons One and Two
The first two seasons have been “re-edited” into short films and are in the process of submission to the Filmdemic Online Film Festival. Thus it will finally get us IMDB credit for these projects. They have also been renamed The Sentinel Chronicles :Origins and TSC 2.0.
Though I have previously released (albeit some way behind schedule) DVD’s of the project this is going to stop unless I am specifically asked for an episode or season. It has been decided that once TSC 3 and the upcoming TSc:Pi are completed that all of the TSC films and episodes witl be bound in a a box set and presented at a farewell get together which we anticipate will be held in the fall as a kick off to next project that I will mention below.
TSC 3: Green Winter
As many of you know Green Winter is the largest and most complex of all of the series. In its first rough edit its wll over an hour and twenty minutes in length. The first Act alone is longer the entire duration of Architects of Fear including the end credits. This thing is by all rights a monster. Though I am going to a degree in linear fashion with the second edit Act I still remains the most complex and difficult of the project. Honestly, I don’t think there has been an entire scene without the use of cgi or other special visual effects to help with the look and feel of things. I have built from digital exteriors to hanging light bulbs. Many of you have seen some of the latest work regardless the stylization they are still some the finest visual effects being created in the Atlanta Indie community today not to mention the acting and the action. When we completed Architects everything had finally caught up and was on the same plane. TSC 3 takes things one step beyond.
If you have not already seen the latest teaser please take the minute and twenty seconds to do so. The link is below
I am shooting for a May 1 completion date and intend to submit as feature to a few film fests.
TSC:PI
Though TSC:Green Winter has had me overwhelmed as have certain aspects of my personal and professional life its been decided to launch this last installment of TSC in this story arc. What should amount to about a 20 minute short and will tidy up and answer some questions from Green Winter and then ask many more so we have a place to start the future. Its roughly on par with Architects in many aspects such as story scope and production. We started pre-production yesterday and will shoot in early April. Completion is set for late summer 2011.
TSC the next Evolution
Many of you voiced concern that with the completion of Green Winter and that your characters had been left for dead or were in fact killed off. Though to a great degree this story arc was linear in its production, future TSC episodes are not necessarily gong to be written and planned that way. So nobody is dead and I will see everyone again ( depending on the plans of the writers I just don’t know what they are yet). In addition I invite everyone who is interested in writing an episode even if it centers around your character to submit it for consideration.
Many changes will be made for this next incarnation of Atlanta’s first indie Sci- Fi Web Saga. We expect to begin production in the Mid Fall of 2011 on this next project.
Alright well that does it for now. Again thank you everybody its been an honor working with all of you and for many a privilege to have become your friend. My very best wishes to you and your families.
Stay tuned for more teasers and trailers. If anyone needs any footage from the project let me know.
That’s all for now.
Shoot, Move and Communicate.
