Remember “Myst?” It’s the game that made video gaming hot. Quiet, eerie, all about exploring a new environment.
Old-timers have been vocal about wanting a Myst-like game to play again, and now one is here. Quiet, eerie, all about exploring a new environment disguised as an old one.
Cuz, you know, we millennials don’t exactly embrace change, right? We loves us our homages, no?
We haven’t had an official woman Doctor yet, but here’s some insider info from a woman Doctor Who writer.
Now I don’t want to diss in any way what is clearly the best job in the world – truly, if you’re a fan, like me, the very first time you type the words “the Doctor emerged from the TARDIS” it is very difficult to stop yourself from squeaking from excitement. But it can be quite odd being a female sci- fi writer sometimes.
Me to the the Big Bosses at the BBC: Can I write a Doctor Who book please?
BBBBC: Are you going to put snogging in it?
Me: NO!
BBBBC: Do you promise?
Me: Totally.
BBBBC: Because you know your other books have a lot of snogging in them.
Me: I’m a professional writer, long- steeped in the lore, history, and magic of the Doctor and his adventures. I would never do that.
Me: pause
Me: Unless it’s a David Tennant Doctor book.
BBBBC: It’s not.
Me: Fine then. Absolutely no snogging. None.
One of the most exciting things that can happen to a writer – is to be involved in the video editing process. Why? Because you get to see the magic of your words come to life right before your eyes! It’s like witnessing childbirth each and every time you sit in that editing chair.
It’s hard work with long hours – but in the end, you get to see your idea flourish and become exactly what you envisioned from the beginning, when you were putting that pen to paper! Fortunately, as the Becoming Ricardo writers and producers, we are heavily involved in the cutting room floor. This means we have full control over what stays and what goes – but that is no easy task.
So, what really goes into editing a webseries? First of all, keep in mind “Becoming Ricardo” does not have a traditional web-series run-time, as each episode averages 16 minutes. Why is that? Because we’re aiming for Television distribution, so we’re producing a package that is “Made-for-TV”. This is why we call it a WebTV Sitcom.
What’s the story, Angelo?
It’s insane to even want to make a movie…so call me crazy. With whatever you do in life, you must build on your past success. I’ve made no-budget films and I’ve made films with $10,000 to $100,000 of my own dough…
Now, I want to make something bigger and more badass!
