Looks really sweet so far - I am just now starting the webisodes for the first time. I'll pass this on to other fans of the Wasteland & Fallout games like myself. I also added this to my Forum: www.seditionproject.info. Keeep up the great work!

Thanks a lot guys, the more we get it out there, the better. We're nearing a million views and are prepping to film more episodes soon!

I downloaded the first episode and had a little trouble viewing it because it is an .MKV file. I found this online guide to playing video encoded in the Matroska format:
http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/how_to_play_mkv.cfm

I have VLC Player and tried using that but it is still not perfect though I can watch it. The video freezes often while the audio keep going whether the video wants to or not. When I figure out what is wrong I'll post an update here.

Finally the blog.
Just watched episode 0 after what seems like an eternity of waiting for a new episode :)
It's a very good presentation of what new viewers can expect of the series (or at least as far as one can tell with the 7 episodes out there).

I hope to see more of Lady -
Yuri is a very strong character, who's madness makes him stand out right away. Though of course there is more of him that remains to be revealed, just by his actions and muttering he is interesting from the start.
Henry and Sam always have the support of the other half of the pair in their scenes, allowing for dialogue that helps fleshing them out and giving them their identiy.
- for Lady we know the basic motivation. We know she is jaded, cool and driven. We don't know much else about her though yet and while the questions about Yuri are more, with fewer answer, for me it's Lady that I require more of to be able to relate to more.

Hope we won't have to wait too long for episode 8 ;)

And thank you for something fresh, great storytelling, the chance to show friends just what people can create and use the internet for when they love their work
and thanks for making me dig up my own post apocalyptic work and maybe continuing writting:)

I just found Lady Wasteland awhile ago on Vuze, and downloaded it out of curiosity since it looked like it was a tribute to the Fallout game originally, then I found out it was quite something else of it's own thing. I really like it, it's awesome guys. Keep on filmin'. =) Can't wait for more. I'll be sharing with my friends.

Thanks for your comments. A quick update - we're currently storyboarding 7 new episodes and are hoping to begin production this Oct/Nov... then based upon the feed we get, expand the storyline into 40 more additional episodes.

Stavros Tsiakalos said...

That is great news.
A long wait.
And I'll have to figure out a way to explain to friends why they have to wait this long :)
But winter is shaping up to be something to really look forward to.

And after the 54th episode we can expect the graphic novel? *hint hint*

Hello.

The world moves on, as does the wasteland. Recently, lead actress Brynne Worley and I went to San Diego for ComicCon 2008. The scene was most surreal with people dressed in every type of costume imaginable. Overall though, the whole convention was a surreal experience. I am Lloyd Hamlin, a short film of mine, screened at the SDCIFF in ComicCon this year and so we took advantage of that and decided to promote Lady Wasteland at the same time. Armed with LW postcards, we hit the streets (it was most hot) and the convention floor.

We were also able to attend The Wrath of Con and Dark Horse parties and see a private screening of Tropic Thunder, which was absolutely hilarious. Connections were made and we're looking next year to get a booth for Lady Wasteland... as we expect the series to continually grow.

Rumors.

Are we going back into production? The only answer I can give you all, thus far, is yes. We have two investors lined up to contribute a good sum of money for us to begin filming again early next year. We're planning on shooting fifteen more episodes with the possibility of doing more. We also have a gentleman in New York who will be promoting LW to companies for product placement deals, will be signing to join the team next week. This will bring in additional revenue which will allow us to begin setting the stage for a much bigger series expansion.

Now, while I say we are going back into production... we are in active pre-production right now i.e. location scouting, storyboards, budgets, contracts etc... Overall, when and if, the investors pull through for us, will I be excited at the absolutism of truly going into production again. Like I have said many times before, ''I'll be happy when the check is in the bank.'' So, I'm tentatively planning on filming for 2-3 weeks in Jan/Feb 2009.

Welcome to the wasteland - enjoy the decay.

I recently discovered the LW series at the Vuze HD network. It's a great series with a lot of potential. Keep up the good work - I'm looking forward to seeing more!
