My so-called "rendition" of "MST3000" like satire. Comments about screw-ups and general stupidity in the movie making buisness. My first endevor: 24 Season 1.

Personally, I'm not interested in doing this (not just because of rights issues and crap, but I'm not really interested in doing it), but I'll leave it to the rest of the crew.

I wrote some gags that work with some sequences of the 3 seasons of 24. But all of these gags require additonal sound recordings to give the gags some after-punch and to suprise the viewer. If this were to be attemped, you would have to get real good at sound mixing to make the gag noises louder than the recorded audio. The series in its inital form would last 72 hours, probably less.

Getting past copy protection on the DVDs would be a pretty hard thing to do (most DVDs nowadays have copy protection; anything made past '98 and by a major studio is guaranteed to have it), so to get it in an editable format might be kind of hard. I would need a hell of a lot of disk space for it all, possibly an entirely new and bigger hard drive.
This series might possibly work, though in our current state I have no idea how we'd be posting it online. (and if so, I'm NOT going to provide any evidence that it links to us; studios find out we're distributing episodes of a TV series in free downloadable format (whether things are edited into it or not), we're in deep shit) Possibly as something to show friends. Do you intend to put entire episodes online, or mere 3-4 minute segments of each episode? I think the 3-4 minutes might work better- take the best (and only the best) gags you have in mind for the episodes, and give slim installments every week of what we could grab out of them.

Yeah. Getting sued is not my idea of buisness as usual either. I could drop this series entirely and make rotoscope animated fight segments on paper, but that would get tiresome. We could do pollitical video clips and commentaries about commercials. That would get old fast too. The 3-4 min segment idea would work for individual gags, sure, but not in a cohesive format. Then the plot of the actual show would be lost in the never-ending stream of gag noises and doctored robot voices. (that last one is optional, we dont want to rip off TOO much.)

MST3K tends to edit some of the movies they riff out of proportion ("Manos" isn't apparently as confusing as they make it out to be; from the same people saying that, though, they said the original version was 100x as boring), so don't worry about it.

"Manos" was 74 minutes long, so possibly a few minutes were cut out of it in MST3k.

Ah.
Should I scrap the idea and jump at Project Whiteblaze (FMTG) and the Hammer graphic novels? (Paper Shredder Graphic Novels, Inc.) Or go foward with writing this and put off the former two? Decisions, decisions...

Hell. Another choice:
Should I start illiustrating "Redemption?"
(Info on this would direct you to the "Redemption (Paper Shredder Graphic Novels Inc.)" board for information and a short summary.
