Updates and All Sorts of Fun Stuffs

Hey, some stuff has been happening in the absence of new episodes (which are still coming -- and soon).

First, we're now listed on Web Series Channel, which is a great resource for our industry. Check it out.

Also, you can now watch Kole's Law on a variety of platforms -- we're on Roku, Vizio, Boxee, and certain high-end TVs with built-in web apps. Yes, this means you can relax on the couch and enjoy Dan's pantsless antics and Terrence's pantsed ineptitude.

Despite the fact that only the first half of Season 1 is available online, we're starting to ramp up toward production for Season 2. We can do that because Season 1 is basically filmed (just a very few scenes left to shoot) and in various states of post-production. Season 2 will hopefully be bigger and better than Season 1. To that end, we'll be making an announcement soon with information on how you can help us make that happen.

Until then, keep the peace.

Finishing Season 1

We have plans. Oh yes. One of those plans involves a series of Webisodes -- yes, you read that correctly, and if you don't believe, go back and read it again, it's still right there -- that will appear between episodes. We're currently aiming for 3 weeks between each episode, which gives us enough time to shoot and edit around our busy schedules. Mini Webisodes will provide a nice Kole's Law-flavored snack between meals (in this analogy, "meals" are "episodes").

Episode 3 will be available soon.

In other news, we're finishing up our 6-episode season in grandiose style. Terrence finds himself in some pretty sticky situations (one of which is literally sticky), and we get to watch him try to get out of them. Our fourth episode, "Talking Shop," will resolve some of the tension that builds in our third episode, titled "Love and War." But there is more tension building, and it all comes to a head in our two-part finale, which is titled "Guilty As Charged."

We're filming the final three episodes together for time's sake, which is daunting -- like making a decent-sized short film. Day One of our planned two-day shoot is tomorrow, July 24.

Wish us luck.

Season 1 Production Update

Can it really be called an update if there have been no previous blog posts?

Here we are, about to cross the midway point of the first season of Kole's Law.  101 is out and available for consumption (here: www.youtube.com/koleslawshow), 102 merely needs to be encoded and placed on the World Wide Webs, and the final shoot of 103 is this weekend.

After a couple of false starts and real stops, there is a good chance we'll have an actual finished product to hand to people.

It's pretty cool seeing the quality improve even between 101 and 102.  Not only the visuals, but the writing, acting, the entirety of the storytelling has been stepped up.  I think the same can be said for 103 -- it's a step above even 102.  We're doing our first-ever on-location shooting on Saturday; in fact, I'd say at least half, if not more, of the episode is shot OUTSIDE of Terrence's apartment.  Believe it or not.

Not that this will necessarily be a trend -- one of the nice things about our story is that we have the benefit of shooting primarily in a single location.  A lot of real, grown-up television shows consider that a plus in their production, as well.  But in each episode so far we've been able to expand Kole's world, and in some form or another that will continue.

We'll throw another update on the 'net when shooting for 103 finishes up this weekend.  After that, we'll be on hiatus for a couple weeks (at least shooting will be) -- hopefully shooting for 104 will start mid-July.

Peace.
