Also, I agree with improvision naturally. Not only do I almost always get inspired to do something different but usually get another new idea for future stuff. Not to mention the fact of stuff doesn't work out the way you planned or imagined.

Anyhows, what I was trying to get at before was the fact of cominig up with props and uniques sets gets expensive and time consuming as well as finding space to build and store stuff after its built.

I guess it's all about how to manage your project and staying within the means.


Next issue:
What about throwing together 3-4 elements together in one epsiode, ie. consisting of different acts. Example:

Episode 1
Act 1- Chaos and devestation strickens the world .
Act 2- Cobra dialogue between key players on Cobra Island
Act 3 - Meanwhile, briefing at the PIT
Act 4- Concentrated element between certain characters ( ie. Nunchuck seeks revenge on Firefly, Zartan hunted by Storm Shadow)
Act 5- Wrap ups and preview for next episode.


This is and can be done by what I've seen in some of you guys' stuff. I want to have each episode like a cartoon episode and comic issue. This obviously goes back to what I mentioned earlier about creating sets that look unique and detailed enough to support those elements. I guess I'm reaching a little outta control. It'd be cool if we could all hook up for like a Joe Vacation/Camp and do a monster Lucas style dio.

The final obstacle is trying to build a website. I know there are blog sites to host, but I'd like to ultimately develop my own site dedicated to Joe stuff...nice and neat like you guys'. I've never published a site before and have little experience doing pages, etc. Don't have Dreamweaver and will prob use GoLive. Sorry if this is dragging on, just thinking out loud.

Peace!


I've been trying to make my Chapters more like comic books, where you get more of the story than just "Act 2- Cobra dialogue between key players on Cobra Island and I'll addmit that it is hard. It also tends to make the chapters longer but it's not impossible. I do understand the money thing. I've been feeling that pain for a while now an dis my chief concern for after the baby arrives.

When it comes to your own site, why not try a place liek Tripod, they give free sites and all you have to do it let them advertise with their banners at the top and bottom.
