Episode 03 Released!

Here is the latest installment of Staging Area.  You’ll notice that some things have been changed and hopefully the overall flow of the show is better.

I had been unhappy with the end credits for quite some time and have finally gotten around to changing them around.  Originally, I had just slapped them together in haste.

I’m currently filming segments for Episodes 04 & 05, to be released later this year.

So far, Ep 03 is only on YouTube.  I had issues with putting it up on Archive.org (site maintenance of all things) and will post it here when that’s done.

Ingredients:

  1. Weather Complaints
  2. Cold Weather Loadout
  3. Flying Monkey UAV – Flight 014

!!! UPDATE !!!

Well, the December 2013 deadline for episode 02 has come and gone and nothing materialized.  I’ve been swinging my focus into other projects because I don’t feel that the quality of video I’ve been shooting lately is up to spec.  Mainly due to the low quality shots with the new camera being to blame 😦

Until I am able to secure a new camera with decent HD recording capabilities, Staging Area will be put on hiatus.

In the meantime, I can still be found doing a weekly news show called Newsreal on RantRadio Talk every Thursday night at 2200hrs EST (for now).  Live broadcasts can be attended in SecondLife at the following coordinates:

Update!

I figured that it was high time to post another update about the series.

Have been filming off and on for the last few months.  The new camera (last one stolen) seems to have crappy video when zooming in (gets all blurry and what not).  Kinda disappointing.  So the next few episodes will have varying quality compared to episode 01.  Oh well, that’s life.

Also, I am redoing the segment transitions that I use in Staging Area.  Switching from the default editing software options to custom title cards for each segment as well as opening and closing credits.  Should provide a nicer appearance for the show overall.  Even episode 01 is being redone with the new transitions.

I am aiming for episode 02 and the re-release of episode 01 to occur sometime in December if all goes according to plan.

That’s all for now.

Finally, after about 5 months of preparation, the first episode of Staging Area is done.  Yes, yes, my editing skills probably could stand some more refinement.  I know.  Enjoy…

Update!

Well, it’s been a while since my last post.  Finally finished up with school at the end of April.  Went on a trip to Costa Rica…….. and now I’m getting ready to move there and get married.  Most of the first episode of Staging Area is completed except for a few segments, finally.  Although it seems that I may be adding some more that will be shot in CR at a later date.  My aim is to have the first episode span 30ish minutes.  This project is still active, just gonna take a bit longer!  🙂
