I have never claimed to be on the forefront of technology, trends or social networking. I was late to MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and Zannel. I started my Blog years after I should have. I managed to avoid Friendster and finally gave in and joined FourSquare.
The one thing I have been kept in the loop about is "web-series". That's primarily due to Michael Flores of Cazador Prouctions, the creator of "Western X" and "A Six Gun For Lobo: Two Kills For A Virgin".
Now since I refuse to have a "traditional" video blog, I will be doing something different. The premise as of today (premise subject to change) real "reality"-esque show in web-series format. I'm not sure how long the "episodes" will be but after the initial one gets on the net I will make sure they will be at least weekly, or damn close to it. They will NOT be edited for content, language or "inappropriateness". They will be edited for time and to fit the week/episodes theme. Certain things I will need to get permission before filming it (that's for legal reasons), so once that's done I will let everyone know how much more this will all expand and cross-over to things.
This whole thing will be shot as everything unfolds. No second takes. No "I sound stupid, don't use that." If it makes it in, it makes it in.
It's going to be nothing fancy. No lighting crew, sound guys, PA's, grips. Just a guy, a camera and maybe some stunts performed by professionals.
What qualifies me to do this and not have it look like complete dog shit??? Well during my time in NY I started off by guest hosting on a show called "Clubland TV". That led to me hosting my own show, "Rock Project X". Once again there was nothing fancy about it. It was a rock video show hosted by me introducing the videos with some bullshit banter from me to the camera. The entire thing was shot inside my car. Am I bragging about this part? No. What I will brag about is that after running 23 episodes over 26 weeks (I let one episode run for a month) I was asked to return for a second season. I didn't return for a second season because I didn't have the time to do the show anymore.
I started that show to prove a point and I did just that, so here is round two.
Once the everything goes live, it will be on YouTube. Since someone is "username squatting" on VonDice, it will be TheVonDice, but that will be announced when it's all said and done.
