GD701_Studio-Project - Pilot Episodes

 Pilots are a slice of the Show, to test the concept and how it will play out, a test strip if you will for an audience, Shows (apparently can have multi) which I wont be able to do, I will only have time to produce one.

The Pilot I want to create will, be unlikely to be at the beginning of the story as that will not yet be the status Quo of my web series, I want to make sure to, figure out what that status Quo is, and focus the Pilot episode around that and the shenanigans that can go down within each episode.

'Most pilots fall into the category of the Welcome Episode or Everyone Meets Everyone'

Appearances are often different in comparison to the Pilot to the Actual Show

Testing the character appeal and showing the theme of the show

The 5th character of the group is the Mascot of the group and self proclaimed guide of the afterlife
Demon has a grudge against them? 

I've seen ones that can go between 1 minute to 7

What is the Hook or Premise of the Story (What makes it unique or interesting)
The Conflict (What drives the story,)
-  What are you characters lacking at their core
- What do you characters truly want (Who do they want to be)
- What are their values 

The Pilot will set up for the show, the tone and concept, showing who the characters are and what journey they will be on (From watching some pilots from more episodic, it doesn't seem to need to tell the story just set the status quo that the show will take place in.

Teaser of the pilot is meant to hook the audience and make them  wanting to know more, they are very short.


Pilots to look into more:
Steven Universe
12 Forever
Has-been Hotel 

Family Guy
The Simpson 


Things I could do for Mine: ( More will come when I get the characters Down)

The full group meeting
Exploring the Forrest of Spirits
Going back to the living world to haunt people
Breaking into Hell


Not everyone is a Saint or Sinner, where do you suppose the rest of the souls end up (The Forest of Spirits)Only those Saint enough dine with the gods, and only those evil enough dance with demons.

GD701_Studio-Project - World and Characters

World Building: This is not necessarily Christian based there is no God or Satan, given that various religions can explore the concept of Heaven and Hell, there are no Rulers of each Place, places from different religions might be a part of each place, such as the Jade palace from Chinese culture may show in the Heavens while a place like Tartarus might show in the Hells  The Heavens: The dwelling place of the gods, spirits and Saints The Canopy The Forest  The Roots These three places are where most souls end up, neither good nor evil, a neutral plane, the canopy and roots are closer to the heavens and hells and are host to more dangerous creatures, not that the forest itself is stranger to such. The Hells: The Dwelling place of Demons devils and the corrupt  The Characters: The 5 stages are traits not their base personality, I do want them all to have lasting trauma of their deaths, I need my audience to latch onto them,  1: Eli (Bargaining) White Male (24) Kind Jo...
