Season 1 now complete!
From The Road to Damascus
What Happens Next?
All I can say to those questions is, I know the answers but I’m not telling you.
Yet.
We’re pushing forward with this story. On Friday, August 13th, we’re going to shoot the next chapter. It’ll be a single episode story arc involving some new faces as well as one familiar, returning face. It’ll bridge a bit of the gap between Season 1 and Season 2, setting up multiple story arcs that we’ll be exploring with the next 10 episodes. And all that can be said about those 10 episodes is that they’ll be bigger, longer, and feature many more characters. Because ultimately, Season 1′s relationship to the overall story is the same relationship your little toe has with the rest of your body.
So here’s to the future. Hopefully it’ll be a bit brighter than the one we’re exploring in Remnants.
a sneaky peek
I am filled with glee and excitement.
Remnants Newsletter #2: The Adventure of Links
The teaser trailer is out! If you haven’t seen it yet, click, click, click your way over to it and watch it in all of its HD glory! It really looks fantastic (all praise be to Loren) and sets the proper tone for Season 1. As much as it shows, it doesn’t give away anything and, really, should give you a good idea of what you’re in for in Season 1. The music in the teaser is provided by Forest Magic, a local band who’s album “Is Energy” has not stopped playing on my iPod since I bought it. (more…)

Day 9: Long-Winded Rhodes
The Hero’s Journey
It’s such an interesting thing plotting out a second series of adventures for characters you’ve already played with. Season 1 is by no means a complete story, yet I spent so much time crafting Season 1 that it feels like I’ve already told Derek and Annie’s story and it’s time for me to find new characters to explore and new stories to tell. So now I get to sit down, reassess the characters, the journey they went on, and get to plot out the next part of their journey. (more…)
Let’s Get Together (Yeah Yeah Yeah)
We have a composer for the show (one Michael Goldsmith), that’s not what I’m talking about. What I’m talking about is music that our characters are listening to (and possibly dancing to) in the show itself. What I would like to do with this is create an opportunity to show off some local bands and/or artists. But I’m not going to limit it to just local bands and/or artists. Anyone can submit a song. Here’s what you do:
- You pick out a song (or selection of songs) that you would like to submit.
- Send an mp3 of the song (or selection of songs) to tsfogg@gmail.com
- Boom. That’s it. If we like the song, and it fits into one of the scenes, it will become part of Remnants‘ soundtrack.
We are not in a place where we can pay anybody for anything (sorry, we’re trying to get there). But here’s what we can offer you:
- Exposure for you, your band, and your music. It’s going to be in a web series, which anyone in the world can click on and watch for free.
- Links on our website to your website.
- At the premiere (which will be held here in Chattanooga), you will be given stage time to play a 3 or 4 song set as well as a table to sell your merch.
We’re not looking for any particular genre. Whatever you have, whatever kind of artist you are, we’d like to hear it. Or if you know someone who’s trying to get a little bit bigger of an audience, link them to this page.
I look forward to hearing what you’ve got.
Interregnum
It’s a strange lull. I want to say production is wrapped, but we still have these two little scenes to shoot. We couldn’t shoot them last week because our actors weren’t in town — which we knew and had planned for. And we were fine with it because we knew last week was going to be crazy enough. (more…)
