Leesa Dean: Adventures of a Web Series Newbie

spinal-tapChapter 42 – That Stonehenge Moment
by Leesa Dean

Intense week! In a good way. Been on a roll writing Season Two of the Lele Show. Tweaking, making changes and I hope people like it. Not putting deadlines in the mix–I have too much on my plate. But, hopefully, will be done writing all the episodes in about a month or month and a half (there are 36 new eps and an ADDITIONAL 36 pieces of supplemental stuff that have to be written/shaped.)

Also working on a two brand new shows I’m really excited about. And one is live action. They’re still in the development stages so it’s quite a juggling act: finding the time each day to work on The Lele Show, each of the two new shows, production on the TOP SECRET PROJECT and the few freelance gigs I have (just got a call for a very very cool one but it’s too soon to talk fully about it.)

Speaking of production on the TOP SECRET PROJECT: gearing up for two shoots. And one is this Sunday. So busy tweaking the script, speaking with my producing partner and finalizing tech stuff and speaking with the guy who’s doing Camera 2. read article

Hulu has spared, well, it’s spared a great deal of expense, as a matter of fact, in bringing its new series, STATE OF SYN to the interweb/our TVs. But the show isn’t your garden variety cheapo. It’s a kind of fumetti, a live-action comic strip with real actors, including FIREFLY’s Jewel Staite supplying the voices over their limited animation photo-images.

STATE OF SYN debuted on Hulu.Com last Saturday, with all its episodes in place, ready to stream. And while TVWriter™ wasn’t all that thrilled with the sound and the acting – very Saturday morning animation, kids, sorry – we love the potential, especially as it applies to indie film and video makers/peer producers.

Peer Production: HELLA is Better than Its Title

…Which ain’t bad at all, really.

Know how we keep telling you to move to L.A. if you want to write for TV? Well, here’s a show about people who’ve done just that. Yeppers, gang, the lid is off, the truth is out: It’s hell.

Oh well…
