Media Tarting & New Episode Starting.

We set to work and created our very own Youtube channel and uploaded all the music videos and our 3 episodes to the internet. At the same time I also put together a puppets web page, blogger account, Pinterest Boards, Twitter and started to cross reference all of these to each other. We wanted to get as much coverage as possible to allow as many people to see it as possible. This is a long task (and one that's ongoing!) but we decided 'little and often' over these formats would be enough to drip new visitors to our creations.

Having had some success with our first three episodes, it was time to make more. Both Martin and I had exhausted our immediate funny ideas about the band in the first few brain storming sessions. This was going to require us to dig a bit deeper, creatively speaking, and try to make more coherent stories.

Again, over a tea one lunch hour we tried to pin point the exact traits the group had, that would be able to be stretched into more episodes. We sketched out rough character profiles, and after some quite frank smack talk about our fellow band mates, we came up with the following collective points: Being a little over weight. Being totally skint, and needing more gigs. Once we had written down how many characters were built, it suddenly dawned on us how many we had at our disposal. The cast was growing, which brought more possibilities. Another structural point Martin raised was, having two stories happen per episode, that made it flow better. It would also allow us to feature more people in each episode. Two separate stories split between seven 'actors' (very, loosely speaking) was simpler than seven people in one story. Martin also harbored a secret ambition to write an episode set in space. Great Martin, thanks for understanding the limits of my already built scenery!!

Start of the 'Alien Objections' set... Will it fly?

That night I sat and emptied my head onto paper and produced a smattering of passable jokes and concepts. Once typed up I emailed everything to Martin. Several miles away, he was doing exactly the same thing (just, his stuff was better!) We proceeded to read each others work and edit out what we didn't think would be funny, or be able to be achieved. We repeated this process over several evening and lunchtimes until a week of writing had produced 3 more decent episodes. Reading them back was great. Collectively it was becoming difficult to remember who had come up with what, so they really felt like a joint effort. Our new set of episodes would be 'He ain't Heavy', 'Cash Mosh-ine' and 'Alien Objections'. With scripts polished, some new characters rounded up, it was time to rally the troops and get the voices recorded...  Quick, turn on the Booze Signal.

The complete cast so far. Gonna need a bigger garage...
