"Shot on Shitteo" and Patreon Update

Hello everyone! Currently on a train heading to Chicago, so I can then carpool to Detroit for Midwest Media Expo. Hope to see a lot of people there! It'll be nice to get out of town for a few days, especially how truly awful and depressing the past month was. I'm not gonna lie, March 2015 was personally one of the worst months I've experienced in god knows how many years. Business wise, it's been great, the site is still running strong, but goddamn, when life kicks your ass, it also punches you in the face with a set of brass knuckles. I know that we're a couple weeks behind on having another Skype meetup, that's due largely in part to me being gone for about half of the month. Between this convention, and the Atop the Fourth Wall movie, I think I'm gone for about half of April. But, we'll definitely make that up to you. If we get behind, we'll make it up by having multiple Skype meetups in a given month. There's some updates regarding future projects. "The Reviewers" Season Finale has been re-written, and I think it flows really well. Half of the episode had to be re-written to not only take the Jeff character out of it, but to also add a new character, Oliver, played by Ryan. I get back from the Atop the Fourth Wall movie on April 28th I believe, and right now the finale of The Reviewers is looking to be shot during the first week of May. The Reviewers: Season 1 was originally supposed to be released on DVD, but for legal reasons, it can't be. So, the alternative to that will be to still do the extra features, but post them as Patreon exclusives, complete with DVD artwork for people who want to put together their very own Reviewers Season 1 DVD. There will be commentaries, bonus bloopers, exclusive Rickhead episodes and more. As for "Shot on Shitteo," our original plan was to completely rewrite the film, and take the existing footage and make fake trailers out of them to splice into the film. Well, we've decided not to go that route. I really like the script that we already have, and I'd love for it to come into fruition. Once The Reviewers Season 1 is done, we'll be going back into Shot on Shitteo, which means that the movie, with the same script it's always had, will simply be reshot. Some of the shots we've previously used can still work, plus what we shot for the 2nd segment about the rape squirrels will still work too. Obviously just the stuff with Jake will have to be reshot, which means about 90% of it has to be reshot since he was the lead in that particular segment. Fortunately, that won't cost anything extra, we already have the props, the effects and anything else that would have cost money. Ryan will be stepping into Jake's shoes to play Johnny, the paraplegic saddled with a haunted wheelchair. But, the news that I'm most excited about, our "Lloyd" project should see a premiere date in early May. I've been getting weekly updates on the animation, and words can't say how incredibly happy I am with this project. This may be one of my favorite shows to be on the site. I know that our previous animated series "Game Boys" received a mixed reaction, but I hope people give "Lloyd" a chance. It goes above and beyond what "Game Boys" was, and I really really think that we have a solid hit on our hands, not just in audience response, but in quality too. The fellas over at Toonwerks have really given this their all, and I couldn't be prouder of them. This project has a lot of heart from everyone involved, and I have a good hunch the viewers will love it too. Until next time, hope you all have a great weekend!
