One Down, Five to go!

Is that title a little bit of a spoiler? I'm sure Jay will say something to me about it, but for those of you wondering what it means, I'll let you wait a little bit longer.

As we've finished the first season of G&C, I'm taking a few moments to look back on the experience that we've had since the summer of 2006. Yes, it has been that long in the making. It's been a fun ride with its fair share of set backs, frustrations, and disappointments. I know that I’m not as active as I would like to be in the other aspects of the show, such as the online community, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t pay attention to what the fans are saying and how they’re feeling about the show. I really do regret not being on there as much, but my last year of college has taken priority and I know that Jay understands that.

So far, G&C has been a key player in my life, which could sound really sad if you think about it. What I mean is that this project has pushed me creatively as both a story teller and a writer (which are two very different things). This project is a labor of love and I hope to stay with it until it’s finished.

If only we could get this thing made.

And here’s something a little interesting you might find cool: Jay and I did in fact try to get G&C animated this past year, but due to fears of legal actions the idea fell through, but keep your finger’s crossed boys and girls, who knows what the future holds.

And now on to something that’s looking forward. As I write this I have begun work on several of my episodes for next season as well as story ideas for season three, which Jay and I have been hashing out more and more. But for now, a few little treats for season 2:

That's A Wrap!

Well, here we are. It's finale week! Our season 1 finale will be released this Wednesday, and that really freaks me out. I have to admit, part of me never figured we'd make it this far. It doesn't seem like that long ago when I pitched G&C and here we are now, just about ready to wrap up season 1.

Some things worked, some things didn't. Some could have been better, and some could have been worse. We'll be going into this in more detail in the V-DVD podcasts, so be sure to check that out. It'll be posted on May 27th.

Last week's episode saw the debut of the Chess Club, and there has been some interesting reaction to them. I have to admit, they're my Mary Sue. Bad-ass redneck nerds, a pretty good combination of what I am and/or would like to be ;)

Last night I began working on the new web site design for season 2. I'm actually pretty excited to see how it works out. There's nothing wrong with the current design, but it takes a bit of time to update, and I'd just like to do something different come s2.

Speaking of the season finale, I'll end this entry with a brief scene from said episode:

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

EXT. ALLEYWAY - CONTINUOUS
Spider-Man lands directly on top of the van.

BONNER (O.S.)
What the hell?

Bonner quickly steps out of the driver’s side, but stops cold when he see’s Spider-Man. He turns to run, but Spidey webs his feet together, and YANKS him up into the air.


He catches him just before he hits the ground, and webs his feet to the brick wall of the warehouse. Spidey climbs the wall, and looks down at a shaking Bonner from above.

BONNER
What are you doing?!


SPIDER-MAN
Tell me what I want to know, and we can avoid the really painful stuff.


BONNER
I don’t know anything, I swear!


SPIDER-MAN
Where is she?


BONNER
Where’s who?


Spider-Man presses him against the wall harder.

SPIDER-MAN
Where. Is. She.

BONNER
Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about, I swear!


SPIDER-MAN
I think you do.


Spidey presses him even harder against the wall.

SPIDER-MAN
Who do you work for? Fisk?!


BONNER
Our boss was hired to track Fisk!


SPIDER-MAN
By who?!


BONNER
I don’t know! We never saw him!


SPIDER-MAN
Do you know where Fisk is?

BONNER
We tracked his men here this morning. Fisk showed up, but he left. I think he’s worried someone’s been trailing him.


SPIDER-MAN
He should be.


Spidey flips up the wall, and onto the ledge. He’s about to swing away when:

BONNER
Hey! You can’t leave me like this!


Spider-Man looks back. He reaches down and tears the webbing away from the wall. Bonner falls to the ground, crashing into a dumpster below.

Spider-Man quickly leaps out of view.

Until next time, watch out for mysterious black vans following you down the street!
