TEXT LOG 002

To your left is a picture of me shortly after we got done with producing episode 4 of the Why Not? Productions series. It tops out at 10 minutes.

After 20+ hours of production over a two day span, I'm not shocked that blood came gushing out of my head. When we were done with production on it, my fellow Why Not? Productions director and I basked in the fresh from the oven smell left by our video.

To say it was a nice feeling is probably an understatement.

Overall, with the help of SinSanity(whom actually had a massive hand in our series pilot), it feels like the first video which has a nice balance of comedy and action. Directing wise, we're still coming into our own. Personally, I feel as though I need to serve the parameters of the story a bit better with the camera angles. I'm always too afraid of close ups on the characters, mostly because the lifeless visors worry me a bit. Wargod357 seems to have hit it out of the park with this particular episode, having directed the middle section of it, which seems to have the best flow of the entire piece.

All in all, production went well. Are we to rival "Red vs Blue"? No, and probably not Digital Ph33r worthy quite yet(other than our directing). Perhaps more along the lines of "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter", an underrated half hour little gem lost in the depths between HALO: Combat Evolved and HALO 2.

You'll find the episode at the handy dandy link to the right of the page, a mere mouse drag away.

EPISODE 4: The Return of the Addict (Part I)
Advisory[Not suitable for those under 17]


SUMMARY:
The purple colored fiend from Private Lessons is back with a vengeance. In this installment, we learn of a terrible conspiracy which threatens the life of Titties Man. Will he be able to save himself or will the Addict have the final say? After nearly a year SinSanity returns to voice Tman and the Addict's soldiers.

There you have it. The episode should be up later today(it's currently six in the morning). Enjoy it or don't.

Later.
