Shriek Watch has, unfortunatly, ended my dear readers.
Casper's adventures as a masked killer has come to an early end. This was a decision that me and Tom B decided to make after we tried to shoot the first episode.
The first was was because we tried to take Shriek Watch a little more seriously, the sillier aspects of the show was removed and it was turned into a more documentary style show. Yet it was apparently after the first shoot that this style of filming just wasn't appropriate for something like Shriek Watch, we wanted to make it like "The Office", but the concept of there being an industry of Masked Killers is just a little too silly for this new approach.
The second reason is that, the storyline for the second series was just WAY too complex for us to shoot on the budget of £0. It involved a lot of stunt work, green screen and screen doubles that, dispute thinking we had the ability to pull it off, we just couldn't do in the end.
The third and final reason is that, we just don't have enough time to shoot this year for another 10 episodes. It's nearly August and we can only have 2 days a week of shooting time, this means we have 8 days of filming to get 10 episodes done. Not going to happen.
Speaking of things not happening, for the same reasons as above, Prime Target 2 is currently on hold as well, however that should continue during Christmas.
So yes, Shriek Watch is cancelled, at least for this year. Instead we shall be focusing on some other projects we have lined up.
On latest video news, we have submitted an entry into the Kevin McDonald film "Life In A Day", it shows me and the team preparing for a film shoot on the 24th of July 2010.
Concerning The Suplah. The show is now going to be a Bi-Monthly show, with a new episode every 2 weeks. This means that we can fill up a show with more meaningful news, and have more discussions on it. On top of that we would like to introduce Alistar as our newest co-host via winning the co-host search! don't forget to check out his debut soon!
Till next time!

Long Time No See Hey?
Wow, this has been REALLY behind on news. I apologise about that guys!
Okay now for excuses. I guess I was just too caught up in being at University, the work that comes with it, the lifestyle associated with it and also... didn't help the fact that I had many problems all the while with my external hard drive and horrible internet connections.
So what's new with us?
Well we found out that Tom has managed to get into University in Manchester to do an acting course. We've already had a year of having the group be split apart due to locations, so this time we know what's going to happen so I doubt there's any need for worry.
Regarding short films and things, well me and Tom have had a long hard talk about the "Shriek Watch" series. Originally we had shot series 2 last summer, but only uploaded series 1 roughly in the winter time and found out that the series (surprisingly) wasn't much of a hit. We figured out that the show just wasn't good and wasn't going in the right direction, so we thought of rebooting the series or just ending it as a failed experiment, but we know in our hearts that we can make Caspers life fun, interesting, funny and complex. So Series 2 is going to be a reboot but a sequel as well, so those who didn't watch series 1 won't miss out on the adventure but they will continue some of the story lines.
The next major project will be a prequel to the film "Prime Target", a film we helped make with Crazy Productions.
So keep an eye on all these over the next few months!
