Week Seven: The Light at the End

Today I realized my college career is nearly over. Some feel fear with this realization, some mourn for the days of naivety and crushing beer cans over your head while smoking seven joints and sky-diving with Thai hookers. I, however, was overridden with a sense of freedom and joy. Soon I can do anything I want. I can have the time to let my imagination flow, to accept jobs filled with absurdity and adventure, and follow my dream of producing the dozens of stories swirling within my head and doing whatever the hell else I like. For me, school has turned into a prison over the years and I'll soon be released from it's obligatory busy work, absurd laws, and most importantly egotistical, over emotional young adults. Holy shit. I can move on.

Anyway, what did I do this week?

Well, I green lit draft #3 of the poster art, which leaves us with the final draft being finished in two weeks. I'm really excited to reveal that soon.

I'm still writing the pilot, but also started thinking about the market analysis for the show I'd like to create. Web series are just starting out, but they're growing rapidly. With the market analysis, I want to analyze two popular shows, how they made it work, and one show that just couldn't cut it, analyzing its faults and making sure I don't do the same. Along with that I'll find studies on online audience statistics similar to Nielsen ratings for television. Basically real boring analytic stuff but it'll definitely get the ball rolling on marketing the series in the near future.
