Recommissioned - Episode 4

These were two pictures that did not make the final cut of the story. To be more direct, these were both photos that I finished at 4am and forgot to upload them before Vesta put up the newest update. By the time I realized that they had not used them, the update was done and Vesta and her team were already on their way home.

The bios this week were two of my favorites, White Owl and Badd Kitty. I was allowed to develop Badd Kitty without any editorial reins, which was nice for me. White Owl's story was a bit more sculpted and it had to jibe though with the material we had already established in previous continuity, and it had to go along with "Project: Eternal Vigilance" with no continuity glitches. It took a while, but we finally got it to click. There is a very LARGE update coming up featuring Red Dawn, and I had a small (but essential) amount of help cataloging some of the original Red Dawn history that has been established by Kendra James herself and a few of her closer friends (including "her biggest fan") to help establish her backstory. Many thanks to Kace for helping me keep track of all of Red Dawn's convoluted history, and for doing it in record time. I gave him two weeks, and he did it in two days.

The bios (there are twenty-two of them now) are starting to wear me down a bit. Vesta has suggested that I take a small break, or that I assign someone else the task of writing bios for awhile. Rawley Duke has shown interest in writing, and she's very good at it, so I might let her give it a shot. The continuity for these bios is very important, so all of the material needs to be checked and rechecked against what has been published already, although the newer characters have more flexible histories that can be played with.

The Clips4Sale store has two new videos in it. One is "My Green Welcoming", which is a seventeen minute StarGirl video with plenty of kryptonite scenes in it. The model, Danielle Milcher, did a great job and I'm shooting her again in North Carolina in a few months, when we do "Stargirl vs StarGirl" in Durham. The other video is "Freeze-Frame", a thirty-one minute movie which is the first of two 'freeze' videos we shot earlier this year. The paralyzation/statue/freeze fetish is very hot right now (no pun intended), so we're trying a few videos in new directions. Sales have been strong so far.

My plans are also to once again re-open dialogue with "The Mayor" and possibly look at a crossover series between the League of Amazing Women and MetroCity Heroines if time and budget will allow it to happen. We (the collective 'we') have no script currently in place but Vesta and the Mayor both have ideas for production and we'll probably outsource it to someone independently. I'll strictly be an executive producer on this project (because of the travel involved) instead of a writer and half of the story will be filmed on each paysite, with myself acting as an intermediary between both production houses as the various metahuman characters in the story 'cross over' accidentally to the opposite respective universes and encounter different foes and supervillains than the usual suspects. I believe Kace called it "the Perilverse", and that's as good of a name as any to call any 'shared worlds'.
