For ages I've been wondering how the sounds for the Little ones were made, but haven't been able to find anything...Unless they're just tubberware shouting too :)
Would it be possible to shed some light on that somehow?

I also have a question:
Got any updates about how everything is going? And not just the writing...... Don't think we've heard from ya in awhile......
As of right now, no. The cast, like most casts when ending a show, goes their own separate ways and might be difficult to bring back together. Many of them live much further now. One day maybe, but as of right now nothing in sight.Quote:

Oh no, not more........ Don't think my brain will handle it....Quote:

It's actually harder to write some things, easier for others. The hardest part is finding the voice for new people all at once. When I added a character to the old cast I didn't have to do it all at once.Quote:

i am just wondering what we might see from wayland productions this year and if you can give us any hints on what your next project will be besides tfwa
Well the basics then. LOL.. More Lore FTW!!!Quote:

If this hasn't been asked yet, are you making a Tales of Were Not Dead?
That'd be cool.
Yea, that's being made lol. Well, Tales of We're Alive, anyway....Quote:

It's still posted on the We're Alive Fancast site. Just click in the link near the top that says "We're Alive Convoy Fan-Tribute Audio Drama". :nik:
Thanks Litmaster! I'll check it out soon.
Were Not Dead IS dead then...
😢
Holy Nexus, that shnikies is funny!
Puck wake up! You don't belong here Puck! Wake up!
Out-falcon standing!
I saw We're Alive as an audiobook in the iTunes Store, that's the same thing as the podcast right?
It just doesn't have the good stuff like the commercials and intros? And Michael Swan? And it's all in one big heap instead of individual episodes? And it's not a Wayland Production, it's only a Modern Myth Production? And what about Bob, he never leaves? AND I have to pay money for it?!?!?!?!
That wasn't the best idea.
Speaking of Modern Myth Productions, why did it switch to and from Modern Myth Productions during season 2?
Yes, There will be some characters from the previous series to make a cameo. How many or who, I can't say yet. Most everyone is a new cast for the primary story.Quote:

And since you asked twice about this, Modern Myth Prod LLC was when we switched from Wayland Productions for a small while, but then the costs of operating an LLC vs a DBA didn't seem feasible. So, MMP went away and we went back to Wayland Productions, and here we are now.Quote:

It costs $20 if you get the remastered version of WA on iTunes.
Sorry I asked twice about the MMP thing, I completely forgot I already asked!
Yes, the remastered versions cost about that per season, and are available on Amazon on disc as well. And yes you have to pay money for the remastered version... that's just how it is, this is a business after all :)Quote:

Really curious what your take would be (of course I'm way biased because I think WA is waaay better)
Lit
@Kc, I have two questions:
1. If you made this audio drama into some kind of video entertainment source, how long would it be? Would it be shorter because you can edit out narrations and sensory explanations? Or would it be longer because it needed more scenes for it to be at it's best visual state?
2. If you did actually make some kind of visual version of the series, would it be several long movies, or a tv series? Movies have a much bigger budget, but with how long WA is, you would need to make several sequels, not to mention, where would you find money to fund the movie? Bank loan? Fundraisers? TFWA profits (if applicable)? Aliens? These are all big questions here.
I don't mean to pull a Kalani, but the show is undoubtedly better than probably anything I've sensetorically (my own word there) digested, and I honestly feel that in any format, I would greatly enjoy it, no matter how many repetitions I've went through (7 and counting).
P.S. That was more than two questions, my apologies.
P.P.S. There we go, now this question is on the right thread. (Previously on the TFWA: Lockdown thread)
1. That's sort of like asking how long a movie is based on the book, but since it's script format it could potentially be translated in real time. Realistically the story could be much shorter without having to describe the actions and such. I'd say the fill in the blank sort of lines and descriptions can take roughly 10% of the time. So if directly translated, probably 10% shorter. If adapted, which is most often the case, even shorter maybe. You can montage things and really make things faster if you have visuals to establish rather than dialogue.Quote:

They're structured differently, so in order to maintain the arcs a lot of content and probably characters would end up cut from the series. How to fund something like that? I've looked into it and it'd be at least 1.5 million an episode, and 10 episodes per season. Where to get those funds? There's ways, but distribution platforms determine a lot of where funding comes from. Are we there yet? No, but maybe one day. Just waiting for the right deal to come along.
And no worries, if it was in TFWA section I would have answered it as if it was just Lockdown that you were asking about.
I did not. Working on Lockdown kind of prevented that. Any TFWA might do that, so still nada. At this point I'm not really that interested in seeing it.Quote:

That's pretty cool! I'm just hoping I don't hear from a bunch of people that the new WD LA version is just a big rip off of us. Here's hoping!Quote:

Gracias and sorry for asking so many questions.
No prob. I upgraded your account to blogger. Does it work now?Quote:

Maybe a more appropriate option would be national radio.
What is the new release date since the summer of 2015 was not a reality?O_o
Lockdown has had some post-production delays for a few reasons, but we've been getting better on track, and the train is moving forward faster now. We ended up losing our editor very early on in the process, that then added major delays after that as it sort of de-railed our post production schedule. There are also other reasons we've had some delays, but that stuff I can't get into now. It's all good, but related to #outpost1 and #outpost2, which are two new physical locations for WA related things. Lots going on behind the scenes, which is why we've been a bit quiet as the post-production keeps moving forward.Quote:
