WTW Productions
Firstly if you're not aware, our little company is called WTW Productions (Whether The Weather Productions). Haven't registered a domain yet, but feel free to take a look at our preliminary site here:
http://wtwproductions.blogspot.com/
I threw together a small demo reel.
If you check out the site you'll see a list of some of our other projects, most notably a short film I've been planning to shoot since last year called REDD. It's my little twist on the Red Riding Hood story, a more of an adventure, horror, action version where our Red Riding Hood (aka REDD played by April Crum), takes on an evil forest filled with demonic Werewolves. Check out some of the stills I took this past week.
REDD is going to be about 8 minutes long, with a shorter 4 minute viral version. It's part short, part mock trailer. It's an idea I've had for a while, and the point in producing it is to really create something big budget cinematic using all of our no-budget resources. The costumes, fx, props, all of it done like we do Monster Cops, with no money, and a ton of work and creativity. I really want to show how we can make a big movie for nothing.
This is being shot using the Canon T2i. A really great camera which I've already used to shoot this commercial for Midway Wicked Woods, which is airing on the local Fox Affiliate WGHP here in the Triad, NC.
So we've got alot going on, but we haven't given up on Monster Cops. There will be more soon, and definitely a new episode up before the year is over. Thanks again for all the messages, through our contact, our facebook and on youtube. We're glad people are still excited about Monster Cops and we hope you'll enjoy Redd as well as our other upcoming productions as well.

Twists in the Plot
Due to several factors including a two week delay because of my crashed computer, Monster Cops is on hold. Of course it is. Go back and read previous blogs and you will see a familiar pattern. We are, after all, doing this with no money. But of course, it is not the end. Inching my way through editing the footage that we do have, right now it is kind of a struggle to get everyone scheduled as well as work around my own schedule. That two weeks without my desktop didn't help anything at all.
But we are indeed still plotting, prodding, preparing. Pretty sure one of those words doesn't belong.
We're still working on new episodes, and working on that ever so elusive DVD compilation of Monster Cops Series 1. It's just going to take some time. But if you are just dying to see some of the other cool stuff I and the rest of the Cops are working on, then by all means head on over to my blog
http://onespartan.blogspot.com/
There you will also find more detailed explanations as to what the heck is going on, why we are delayed, and why I've fallen in love with a piece of equipment called the Canon T2i.
Thank you so much to those of you who have messaged me with concern for Monster Cops. I promise there will be more of us to be seen. Hopefully sooner than later.

August Rush
This past 4th, 5th, and 6th (Wed, Thurs, Fri) we started back up production on the next few episodes. We were at our office location knocking out the majority of our headquarter scenes. A great time was had by all. Well I know I had a great time. And we got quite a bit done. Shot scenes for the new episode entitled Chimera. As well as scenes for Blood Moon and Dead By Dawn.
We should have 2 more episodes online for all to see before October, with a DVD release of the full first series. With a complete 6 episodes at least. I'm working out the specs for the DVD. It's looking like a 2 disc set, with plenty of special features and videos not available online, including an extended gag reel, which many of you seem to love so much.
Also working on a total revamp of the website to enhance your viewing experience for the soon to come new episodes.
Thank you all so much for the messages. So glad we gain new fans everyday and that you guys like what we're putting out. Hopefully we can keep it up and continue to bring the full series that I imagine.
Whether we end up on TV or we reach our viewers through the power of the interwebs, I'm just happy to be entertaining all of you with our tales of comedy, action, and horror. So much more to come. So stay tuned.
Look for a new Video Blog in the next few days.

Quick Update for July
July is a busy month for me anyhow, seems to be the Birthday month, not only for myself, but alot of people. On top of all that I do have alot of video work, projects and ads to finish up, and of course, Monster Cops.
Working on editing an episode right now. Getting ready to start shooting another one. We'll have a good amount of content for the DVD coming up this Fall, and yes, as some have asked, there is already one planned screening for 3 episodes in North Carolina. More on all that later.

The Wheel In The Sky
Yup, it keeps turnin. Right off the bat, gotta say, we need your pledges.
Working to put things together for the first round of festival submissions and we could use your support. Make a pledge, get a credit in episodes, on IMDB, get T-shirts, DVD's, and possibly more. This is a great way to make sure you get your DVD copy of Monster Cops Series 1.
Currently doing re-writes on the next few episodes. Getting things ready to start shooting, hopefully soon. But how soon we get started really depends on our funding situation. So we shall see what transpires in the next few weeks. In the meantime, there is plenty to prepare for. As I said, doing re-writes, our make up artist is prepping, I'm trying to schedule some second unit shoots.
Stay tuned for a Video Blog, as many of you seem to like it when we do those. Glad you're having fun with those. Please, please, please, help spread the word about our fundraising, click on the IndieGoGo widget and pass it around. While your at it, click on our links to the right and subscribe, follow, like us on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.
The more followers, subscribers, and YouTube views we can get in, the better.

Time's Up
The post I made over at Kickstarter.
And so we reach the end of our time here on Kickstarter without reaching our target goal. But the upside is we did get some backers, and we were able to get the word out to maybe a few more people that may have not known about Monster Cops before. Also I had fun making the Vlogs.
Thank you all so, so, so much for showing your support. Thank you to those that have messaged with kudos and positive comments, and especially to our wonderful and amazing backers. It means alot to me to know you guys would put money up to help this project.
Rest assured, this does not mean the end of Monster Cops. As I've stated in previous Vlogs and Blogs, we'll continue to produce this the way we've always done it, with our creativity, our ingenuity, and our passion and love for this series. I get messages every week from different people who find our little series and love it. So we'll do what we can to make em, and get em out to it's intended audience.
As much as we can do with no money, we will still try to scrounge up what we can to help with the marketing, pay for festival fees, and cover a few production costs (mainly food for the cast and crew). In order to really get the job done we will need more than just a few bucks from our day job checks. So if you would like to continue to support us and want to see more of this series, you can make your pledge over at IndieGOGO. It's yet another fundraising platform where you get rewards for your pledge, but there we actually get the money regardless of reaching our goal and you definitely get your reward.
We've restructured the rewards we are giving so we can actually guarantee you those specific rewards for your pledge. So if you want to reserve your copy of Monster Cops Series 1, then you can do so at IndieGOGO. http://www.indiegogo.com/Monster-Cops-Web-Series
And if you don't want to transfer your pledge over to our IndieGOGO, that's perfectly understandable, let me at least make a few suggestions on causes and projects you should support.
First off, we're all about donating a portion of DVD and merchandise sales to Cancer Charities, and in the future to other causes, so if you can donate to http://www.cancer.org/ or http://www.bcaction.org/. Or head on over to http://www.bbb.org/us/charity/ and find something worthwhile to donate to.
Also this guy is amazing, and totally deserves his own show:
http://myown.oprah.com/audition/index.html...
And other projects on Kickstarter that deserve pledges:
Theater Town: A Documentary about a High School Reunion Show 60 years in the Making.
http://kck.st/azYgAQ
HENRI 2.0 -- A Science Fiction Short Film
http://kck.st/cLEnyJ
Good Luck, and Godspeed
http://kck.st/92IQ8Q
The Good News "Because good things still happen."
http://kck.st/cFTZcl
Planet X - A short film, a feature film.
http://kck.st/aTr9KM
Again thank you soooo much to all of our backers, all of you are awesome, and I truly appreciate you and your support for this series. And thank you so much to Kickstarter for allowing us the opportunity to get the ball rolling on fund raising. So what if we were unsuccessful here, in my opinion it was still a win, we got to spread the word a little further, and we had fun doing it, so thank you to Kickstarter.
Please keep checking back at http://monstercops.com or over at http://monstercopsmovie.blogspot.com
Thank you all so much.
