Hold your applause until the-- Nah, go ahead!

Hola, Scott here!

It’s been a while since I last posted any actual news here – there was a lot more time to do stuff like that before we started posting episodes! We hope that you’re enjoying them, we’re pretty exciting to be sharing them with you.

But actually, we’ve got a few announcements, and they are interrelated, so I thought that I might as well put them into this one post. So here goes!

Bump Two Filming starts in December!

That’s right. The sixty episodes that we have already shot, and are currently releasing online, only takes us a third of the way through the story. We have are moving ahead on production of the next sixty!

What can you expect from them? How about time travel, monkeys, ninjas, split personalities, Fantabulous Gal as a cleaning service mogul, an evil robot invasion of Leopardia – Leopard Woman’s kingdom in the middle of the planet, The Plumber goes undercover… and much much more!

We’re going into prep in November, just as we’re approaching our official launch on November 12. Busy, busy month – we hope you think it is worth it!

Okay, on to related exciting annoucement #2!

Table Read for Bump Two is tomorrow!

For the second time, we’re gathering all of our cast and key crew together to hear all the scripts from Bump Two out loud. This is a crucial testing ground for jokes and storylines – trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t. What needs to be punched up and what needs to be left alone, even though the joke may not be fresh to you two years after you wrote it.

The table read is also a nice chance to have everyone gathered in one spot – one of the few times that this happens for our oversize, sprawling production.

We’ll let you know how it goes! And then it’s on to the punch up room sessions, where the scripts get rewritten (again) and many laughs spill out of the boardroom here at the Gopher Hole.

And speaking of writing, here’s related and exciting announcement #3!

Live Transmedia Performances Start This Week!

Some of you who follow our characters on twitter or YouTube have already noticed they have started chatting with each other, and the occasional ‘civilian.’ That’s what we call our ‘low intensity’ Transmedia activities – and we’re only just getting our feet wet with those. But this week, we’ll be doing our first, live Transmedia performance!

Because we’re thinking of this as a bit of a test run, I’m not going to give you any times or dates here. Rest assured, if you follow us on Twitter, you’ll get more info. (If you don’t – why not?) This first performance will be low key, and low stress, but as we get our sea legs you’ll be hearing a lot more about these performances – and you’ll see why we call this show the most Transmedia story ever told!

The real fun part of these performances is that you can join in! We’re looking to get our audience to be as involved with how the plot unfolds us the characters themselves. It’s like an improvised scene that anyone can be a part of! Exciting, no?

So that’s it for the announcements right now. But watch this space – there’ s plenty of surprises still to come!
