Na, the one thing that came to my mind besides the "Meet the Feebles"-pastiche-ness of this flick was simply: wow, there must have been marketing geniuses involved. And I wholeheartedly salute this obvious uber-PowerPoint(tm)-presentation (maybe including large amounts of white powder) which helped to get the movie financed.
This earned my respect.
I think you'll be surprised what I can do in that amount of time. It's more than enough time to establish characters, and become familiar with them. I'm writing to content, not time (as per usual), and the 5 hours was just how long the story lasted. In many ways I don't have to re-establish so much of what is already going on, and it's a far smaller cast, and mostly an A storyline to focus on.
Yup! I was actually worried about it not being long enough, but it just happened to run where I wanted it to. I'm still adding and cutting lines, so we go longer and shorter at times; but as always Story is King.
Hey Kc....regarding "Lockdown":
1. Will this 5-6 hour production be broken up into, say, 30 min episodes and released over a series of weeks? Or all in one gulp?
2. Given your experience from the WA series, do you have any new recording techniques that you might employ for "Lockdown" that you didn't employ in 'We're Alive'?
We're back Alive again for WA Descendants!!
1. Nope. It'll be more like three 1.5-2 hour segments. We've talked about doing a three-night event to stream it online as a premiere. Still a lot up in the air as we finalize kickstarter stuff.
2. Shout-mics and crouch mics. There will be a station set up where there will be two mics at different gain levels so we don't miss a performance to tearing. The Crouch mic will be set up very low to the ground so the actors can actually record on the floor. We did it for one of Saul's scenes in Chapter 48, but it'll be more permanent while we record.
There's a lot of other stuff that's new as well, but it's more involved with the story format like longer scenes and such. There's definitely some elements of new format experimentation too that I won't talk about here.

I'm gonna try to show up more. But with family here growing by one more estimated delivery in February, I don't know how much time I can commit to. I've missed you guys!
wait is there actually a Season 5?!
Where are we supposed to post our thoughts about the 15 minute kickstarter preview?
What I find really scary about the whole Zombie Apocalypse conceptual life style isn't the Zombies themselves, but rather the fact that we are now a species so disgusted with normality and society that some of us would actually prefer it" - Some Zombie Nerd
Any word about when it will be released?
