Siblings backstory (Pre-Siblings time) |
| Before Siblings, I was doing Hotrod opened the Matrix, a series about me and my friends. It was a trilogy I never finished, but it was fun for the two+ years I worked on it. But once I was done with HOTM 3 part C, I lost my interest in it. I was down because HOTM never really picked up like I hoped it would, and I was tired of working on it. I had no other ideas for a series, though, and doing a series is usually what keeps the ideas flowing. I knew I didn't want to do anything involving friends again, though. It's hard dealing with that many people who have different interests, getting them together and motivated to work with you. It needed to be simple and involve less people that were hard to get a hold of. But it also needed to be funny. Making HOTM left me feeling very unsatisfied in the humor department. There were a lot of good ideas and jokes in it, but hardly any of the jokes were really delivered as well as I wanted them to be. Plus, I forced myself to be a bland, uninteresting 'explain everything' character. The sensible one who kept everyone working together and driven toward the goal of the series. I've never been that kind of person, so the character was a lie. I knew I was a funny person, but I wasn't really funny in HOTM at all... my character was REALLY forced and my voice acting was bad. I kicked around the idea of doing a series about me and my brother Johny because me and him have good chemistry. He's kind of slow, but mellow and cool, whereas I've got a quick wit, but I'm also annoying and prone to spells of idiocy. I had no real ideas for storylines, but I knew I didn't want to do anymore epicly long movies that took forever to make. The longer it takes to make, the less likely it is to be finished. HOTM taught me that. So it had to be simple, short, and good. I had rules for myself, I just needed an episode idea to start it all... |
