Sooooo now that the deep rant about life is over lets get back to the good stuff.
After a while I managed to start making my Showbible and within a week i had a rough draft planned out with eight episodes and some concept art and a general layout. Daym it feels fun to be creative again
And there she blows. Yep its ugly and yep its a mess but I love the different styles and legends all coming together into one series. I have begun to envision some episodes already though I am a little concerned that a few of them especially The Morrigan and Djinn are going to feel samey and I really do not want that but at the moment I do not have a fix for them.
Also I thought about the idea of a The Thing like monster that I really like the idea of which was awesome, but more importantly I finally was able to come up with the a better answer to the future plans part of this project.
Firstly I want to get the pilot episode done and dusted then while that goes to a few fesitvals perhaps garnering a bit of interest I also want to make a social media ad that is comedic and horror at the same time as a sort of advert for the show. Between the advert and the festivals I am aiming to garner enough interest that I can start crowdfunding the rest of the series. I do realise this is not a groundbreaking idea but even if we can get just a little bit of money it can help make a better series.
Then obviously we create the series with whatever money we have crowdfunded and put together ourselves and we just make it. I already have people i know and trust but I want to form a proper group of filmmakers from this series that I can trust.
Finally best case scenario we garner enough attention to be able to make a second series or maybe a feature film. I am super excited by the prospects of future endeavours while working in media is great and working on films would be awesome, creating my own films would be even better than all of that.
I really think this could be a fantastic play if we can just get it over the first hill.
