Latest Episode : 2x07(18) The Band Trip(pt2) The continuation of the two parter. We've got Nasa Hot Dogs, THREE Murders, and we continue our 24 parody. It'll be awesome. Latest Re-Write: 1x01 The Black Album This was my re-write during my 2004-2005 school year for Writing for Media I. I took a lot of elements from the first episode that I liked and infused it with a few new ideas callbacks to both future and already past jokes. Look for me to take everything I like about this episode and the one above it and combine it into a single episode sometime down the line, but right now, you get a look at the piece that gave me a B+! B+ FOR EVERYONE~! |

"Cuz if you had water(in the pool), you'd miss out on all that fun skull crushing." April 7th, 2006 Hi... It's been a while. I know. I should have checked back on you main page, and for that I apologize, but realize, I was getting ready to give birth to you. It's a difficult time, being a male and all. I'm not used to this form of pregnancy. So, you read right. I'm not pregnant, yet(damn medical science not advancing fast enough), but I am about to reveal Gen LMNOP pilot episode, fully animated, to everyone who comes here. Let's say... April 22nd. And so, I direct you to my video blog, a production sort of blog for Gen LMNOP, to show you some work in progress. Things are really coming together. |

Updated main page w/ twitter addition. Should update this site. Been redesigning page for years. I suck at web sites.

Hey guys, another update on PRODUCTION. Yes, we've started that phase on Episode 1. Here are three samples. One is a template for cinematography and blocking, made into storyboards and animated. Timing is an issue and such, and the animation isn't the finalized style in the SLIGHTEST, it's just a hint at what's to come. Storyboard Animated
Also here are two audio takes, first edits for two specific lines in Episode 1 & Episode 11. See, for the Teaser on Gen LMNOP's pilot, I flash to future episodes for specific lines used to establish who the characters are.
Midus "Sticks & Stones" take 1
Jackson "Damn American Government" Take 1
Also, here is the updated version of the script, the one that's set to go into production fully minus a few small dialogue adjustments. [final.script]
And finally, here's the plotted out screen shots for the theme song. Some of these may be replaced for the first show to keep surprise up, but I may just have shots from future episodes in it if I have time. [theme.song]
Enjoy.

I'm deafly ill right now. Okay, not deathly, but somewhat. Enough that it's aggrivating.
Gen LMNOP's pilot is in Pre-Production Phase. I've got to finish fully casting the piece and then work on Character Templates and then we'll be right into Production.
I'm gonna go over there and cough up a lung.

So, The Metro article supposedly ran, so maybe my traffic improved. Basically, it was six questions or so wherein I was interviewed regarding Gen LMNOP. It aired in a free newspaper that people read, mostly in transit. So, who honestly knows what could come from that.
I uploaded episode 17. I've been busy writing. I'm going to be putting off 18 until I'm done with "Jesus Hates America," my short film project I'll be shooting during the Winter. So I've really gotta make sure that script is top notch stuff when I'm there, so it can live up to it's concept.
Until next time...

Mike Renner has provided a SNES styled "sprite" or graphic through the style of his comic, listed at the right. Check it out under Art!. [art]
Also added my superhero pilot on the right. It's still kinda crappy and "first draftish," but it's there. Now this is basically a complete collection of my writings as to date.

So, I didn't really do much of anything. I'm slowly working in a soundtrack, a listing of songs that are supposed to be played during the episode at some point. I might make it a bit more detailed on the re-writes and put the music cues in, but I dunno if I'm gonna go that route.
On the left is a link to my livejournal, which well, I've had forever and a year and hardly update anymore. But still, if you stumbled on this site now you can actually figure out who I am and such without going through register.com. Awesome? Maybe. Tubular? Probably not.
I want to make a movie adaptation of Earthbound. I just have a scene where Jeff, Paula, and Ness are in Summers and suddenly a car attacks. Jeff shouts out "Yo! That car just ran you over!" and then have Ness just slowly stand up close into frame with his face grimaced and a baseball bat held, simply saying "I know." before BATTLE TIME. A couple of other moments would be great, like Ness shouting "I will not be foiled by the tomfoolery of ducks!" after a Duck in battle tries to confuse Ness from using his special Psychic powers. I think the film could work well, and it's kinda built into a "diology" instead of trilogy :-).
Yeah, I've been playing that game too much...
May 23rd, 2005
I just finished archiving all of my jokes, repeated mostly, but concepts and ideals that I'm going to use for writing. Based mostly off Arrested Development, I'm going to reward people who read/watch every episode by repeating jokes and concepts and building on them in new ways to create new jokes. Sort of like, creating a joke that can mean one thing if you see it without any context, and then have another meaning when matched/paired up with a previous joke from a previous episode. That way, jokes work with a new audience but reward the old faithful audiences as well.
Running Jokes/Motifs
If you're interested. EP 17 is at about 8 pages or so, but it's going slow. And I've gotta write Jesus Hates America and find a job. Man, jobs suck, and there's no good ones left.

Hey everyone, just checking in with a fairly thorough update.
After a fairly hectic semester(I only finished one episode in four months, that's a pretty hectic semester to me), I've finally finished with my finals and my classes are done for the year. What does that mean for Gen LMNOP? It means to expect a few more episodes this summer. Specifically, I plan to at least finish the Band Trip, a two parter I've been interested in writing ever since I came up with the idea. Episode ten of the first season was basically a setup to this, and now, well, let's just say that things are going to be interesting.
I finished my screenplay, it's on the right listed under DANIEL ORIEL. It's 78 pages in a first draft, and needs filler scenes/description to be updated, but on a whole, it's how it is. The ending is kinda crap right now, but hey, it's finished. That's why Gen LMNOP was not even really touched apon. I had to write this for a class, and writing a screenplay in four months, you can see how crazy that is. Without that obligation, I probably would have been wrapping up Season 2, but hey, it's good to have a variety of work at your disposal for reading pleasure. Aaron Smith called it a Religious Comedy, and I'd agree, but say that's it's also got elements of Heavy Big Blockbuster Summer release Action to it as well. Check it out if you're interested.
I'll be re-installing my CGI scripts since Nick gave me hosting, which, here, instead of netherweb, allows me to actually, I dunno, have CGI again? So that should be cool.
Also, I just renewed this domain name, so it's been a year of Gen LMNOP.com goodness. Hmmm, figured there'd be more updates like this than there were. But there will be. Now that I have time.
So, enjoy, catch up what you have to, because I'm gonna be coming full steam ahead.

NEW EPISODE! ABOVE! CHECK IT OUT!
Too busy to update this with actual news though. Sorry.
January 24th, 2005
So, I got bored and decided to update the main page. I didn't have ny new content to deliver, so I decided to give up some "lost" content that I did for a class last semester. It was meant show conflict between characters, whether in the open or under the surface or whatever. Check it out here. It's entitled the "Lost Scene," as it deals with Alicia and Jackson's relationship.
Classes are going well, but I know there's gonna be a hella lot of work. I should have a movie script completed by April along with a short film script to submit to senior films, and I hope to get up to ep 18 finished. Tim should be doing episode 16, which I may skip after Ep 15 is completed giving him more time to complete it, much like I did for El Renner. Not that anyone cares :-). But regardless, should be fun times. Ep 15 is 7 pages long.
I'm also working on a superhero adult orientated pilot. It's at about 10 pages but I really hate the last five. I'll throw up a decent copy when I... write one. But yeah, lots of stuff to be working on. Should be hellaciously awesome.
