CARGO 3120: Here We Are Again

The Making of a Sci-Fi Franchise #21
by Daymond C. Roman

(EDITOR’S NOTE: The Story So Far starts HERE)

Okay, so now it seems we are here again. Another set back L It seems our artist will not be able to perform the tasks in which we agreed on. And, that’s not to say that I’m pointing blame or even pouting about it. Because I do understand that life happens; we all do. Things that we’ve intended to do, can often run into the things that happen to us. But, when those situations happen, the question is always clear, “So, what are we gonna do?”

I’m starting to realize that this is the only question we really have to answer in life. And the way we choose to answer that question determines the fates we experience. Sorry if I’m getting too deep too soon, but this is where situations like this usually take me. And I think that’s important as well, because it keeps you from acting from the seams of your pants. It allows you to bring some much-needed character to these situations, because even having the attitude that you won’t give up isn’t good enough. It’s more about how you’re not giving up. read article

Adventures in Digital Series Land – Chapter 101
by Leesa Dean

So, the big news this week is: I signed with Channel Frederator Network.  I’m met Fred Seibert. He’s been at a number of NYC  animation and web events and we’ve had a chance to chat.  Been up to their offices (the old YouTube workshops were held there).  He authentically is really passionate about animation.  Which is a good thing. Before Frederator, he was at MTV and Hanna Barbera.

They reached out to me a while back and because I’ve been, in general, reluctant to sign with an MCN (multi-channel network for those of you not familiar with this digital series centric term), I took some time to really think it over.

The truth:  Their contract was way more artist-friendly than the other ones I’ve received (and I’ve been approached by a number of them, big and small), which essentially asked you to give up the right to show your youtube content on TV and other paid platforms in exchange for the exhilarating experience of saying you’re a member of that MCN (Translation: nothing, nadda, no money. Which is CRAZY!!!) read article
