Coming Soon! Emily's Workshop


STARDATE 021710

The idea behind the webseries is this: Emily Quina (yep she's got a last name now!) owns her own business EmQuina MeQanics (working title) - A shop specializing in RoboRepair, yet fully certified to service or fabricate most any technological need you may have, from your most basic DoomsDay DeathRay all the way to your Species Specific Tentacular Mechanical Appendage, (with as many functions as a Venusian Swiss Army knife!)

Anyway. The idea is that she owns this workshop right? So, she needs to promote it. The webseries is basically her promotional tool. Emily makes videos featuring successful creations, happy clients, and along the way we get insights into the many adventures the whole Fearbot crew gets embroiled in.

The webisodes ought to be about 1 to 5 minutes and can be as involved as a full on short story, and as simple as a one-punchline gag.

We're basically converting my garage into her workshop set, and we're gonna shoot a batch of shorts to release throughout the rest of the year.

We're almost done clearing the fucker, (and believe me it was a wall to wall, floor to ceiling, treasure trove menagerie of clothes, toys, swords, electronics, furniture, books, African masks, cowboy chaps, Indian peace pipes, metal shoes, Jimi Hendrix bootlegs, and thousands of dollars of Star Trek and Star Wars collectibles. I was often reeling in a fit of delirium caused by the utter randomness of this storage space.

This is what it looks like at the moment. It's about 1 million times better:

The future set. Truly glamorous.

My family not only refuses to throw anything away, but also insists on acquiring as many tchotchkes, knick knacks, and thingamabobs as possible to make it all seem less like a bunch of junk and more like a comprehensive archive of everything you'll NEVER need, (although that doesn't quite work since "archive" suggests some sort of organization, and I believe my parents took the time to hire a retarded hurricane to do that for us.)

ANYWAY! This weekend is the the final push.

After which we will officially have a workspace/set for this production, and we can finally start building a little corner of this action-scifi-romantic-comedy world that we plan to live in for while.

Which begs, barters, and pleads the question... you want in?
