Leesa Dean: Levitation Trick
Adventures in Digital Series Land #99
by Leesa Dean
The past two weeks have been intense–writing, writing, writing and more writing. I’m a few days away from finally starting production and I. Am. PSYCHED! I completed 20 episodes of the new series, the trailer, plus an additional 30 episodes of a tiny mini-series I’m launching around the same time. Not to mention working on a new 30 minute pilot/series and short. Now, I just have to animate them all. And once that’s done, the hard part starts: promo.
I’m hoping I can finish animating everything related to the new show in a couple of months. It’s not heavy-duty animation (otherwise it might take me till infinity to finish!) And before I launch, I’m planning on starting up new social media accounts that are related to the new show–Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Just keeping up with social media will be insane so I’m not starting ’til all the animation’s in the can.
Meanwhile, on top of everything I’m researching and starting to design the website relaunch. Luckily, I have a friend who recently launched a site for her business. She hired someone to design hers and there have been a lot of issues with it. I stopped by her place for a couple of hours and looked through it and gave her some small suggestions. While I’m not a big coding pro, I’m installing a WordPress theme myself for the first time and learning as much as I can about it and found that helping her, even in the minor way I did, was incredibly helpful to me cause I started to see my own project through someone else’s eyes. And that reminded me of something a businessman told me when I was starting out: The Levitation Trick.
Hank Isaac: Will Lightning Ever Strike Your Digital Series?
Underfunded Overachievers #8

I was going to write to the question: “Is it even worth it?” but, you know, it’s Spring (or Autumn if you’re down under) and, either way, it’s a time of change. So…
I’m a sailor. I’ve been one for well over half a century. And the fact I can boast that is frankly a bit disturbing. I was also a pilot. So weather is something that is not only interesting, knowledge of it is essential. In fact, ignoring the weather can quickly put lives in jeopardy.
So here’s where I pass on my little bit of knowledge – as a metaphor, because I’m supposed to be a writer.
Leesa Dean: Making Some Ch-Ch-Changes
Adventures in Digital Series Land #98
by Leesa Dean
A few changes:
First, as you can see, I’ve changed the name of this blog from Adventures of a Web Series Newbie to Adventures in Digital Series Land. Not only to reflect a new way to describe web series, but also because, let’s face it, I’m no longer a newbie. I’ve been doing this for two years.
Plus, since I’m designing the new website, I wanted this blog to reflect that change. New times, new site, new series, new blog name.
Web Series: BOZOS
We’re still trying to figure out what this series is all about. (Um, we think that’s a plus cuz let’s face it, one of the major problems with most TV shows is that nothing needs to be figured out.
BOZOS deserves many more views than it seems to have. Check it out:
