Alright, Updates n' shit.
-Slendy Series: I have not gotten too far. I have the over all plot, broken into 3 acts (which will probably equal 3 seasons of around 15-22 'episodes') I have the ending already written (And it is awesome) and from there some seeds of how I can carry on after for a season 4 if I ever decide to. Don't worry though, if not, the Season 3 ending is very conclusive and satisfying. I also started plotting out the first couple episodes. I do not have any cast yet, no costume. Just my camera...
-Other ARG-y elements: While this will be just what some call 'Chaotic Fiction', not an ARG, I will work in a few elements to increase immersion. For example, I will make a blog, a Twitter, a last.fm and a couple other various social networking accounts for the characters involved. For the characters that it makes sense for, I will also make youtube accounts. My hope is to have the actors I get fill these out some and sort of get a chance to stretch their legs and flesh out their characters as they see fit.
-Video Shit in general: So, I have my really nice camera...what's next? My Laptop is probably about 4-5 years old now. It's slow, I've filled most of the HDD, and the editing software I am using (Sony Vegas) keeps fighting with me. I just can't get the hang of it, and it runs slow on my slow ass computer. So, I have a plan. I'm getting a Macbook Pro. Yep, some time between now and Christmas, I will pick up a Macbook and Final Cut Studio. This works great because I need a new computer anyway, I learned how to use FCP in my high school TV class, and the software is cheaper (w/about 7 other programs bundled in) than the software on PC. All I need to do is get used to using a Mac again after about 6 years...
That's it for now, Just really happy Marble Hornets came back last night. Hell Yeah.

Writing again.
About 6 or 7 months ago, I discovered the 'Slenderman' phenomenon. In the months since, I have gone all the way through 'Season 1' of Marble Hornets and I'm up to date following EverymanHYBRID. Now all I have to say is...looks fun, I want in.
Yeah, I started to write a Slenderman web series. I know, I know. I'm not trying to rip anyone off. I am just a huge fan of both series and the mythos of the character that were built on the Something Awful forums.
My main objective is to take small bits from both series and also the mythos from the forums, and create a 'Bible' of sorts for all things Slenderman. Basically compile as much as I can, as thouroughly as I can. Then, with that I will bring in and blend in my original ideas, making sure as to not contradict the established mythos. Will there be a few similarities, refrences or shout outs to the other series? Sure. But I'm not going to go through and lift things wholesale. (Although I am intrigued with finding away to film Troy's 'unfilmable' alternate Marble Hornets ending he mentioned)
So basically, what am I doing? Firstly, I am plotting out the story and the over arching plot of the series. I am also planning on exactly how in the hell would I make a Slenderman costume. I do have some exciting ideas for that. My main concern is the writing...
I am pretty decent at plotting. I also have been told I have a 'knack' for dialog. My main struggle is focusing my ideas into a cohesive, well paced narrative. For that, I hope I can get someone to help. I'll have to get in touch with some of my friends. I've always written better with a partner, hopefully that works out.
