Series Kick-off and Denton Festivities
Well, the excitement and attention surrounding Infamous has been overwhelming this past week! We are so happy to see more and more people watching the pilot every day (What's that? You haven't? Go now to www.infamouswebseries.com OR www.youtube.com/infamouswebseries to do so right away!), and we're even happier every time someone responds with more of the wonderful feedback we've been getting. Thanks, guys, you're awesome fans.
We'd like to take a moment to reflect on the fun we had at the Thin Line Film Festival over in Denton, TX last week. Although we were only there very briefly, we were able to get the word out and meet several cool filmmakers and film supporters like ourselves. A special thanks to Denise Butler and Crystal Aguilar for their especially kind welcome, and to Kyla and Dennis Welch for providing a mass amount of food for the team, as well as lodging for the night. The whole experience was very enjoyable, and hopefully we'll get to attend next year as well.
Episode two, Genesis, Chapter 2, is underway. We can't wait to show you the next installment in the series, so tune in this weekend! Till then...
Be Seeing You.

Final Countdown
Things are coming along great! This week marks the final push for the launch of the web series... crunch time for everyone. So, we thought we would drop in and give everyone an update. We have a lot of exciting things that will keep us in the edit bays and on the road, so hold on to your popcorn...
Writer/Director/Videographer/Editor Joey Barto is putting final touches on the series pilot that is due to air this week. With that, our very own multi-talented James Palmer is adding his flare as both Actor and creator of the musical score to the Infamous Web Series. We have picture lock, and all will be mastered down for the premiere this week!
On the Website end, the initial site is up and running. Final touches to a very organic and growing page will be added this week for the premiere, and we are all looking forward to seeing it up on its feet. Harvard Taylor and LaTonia Barto are working overtime to have a great site up. It will be a bit bare bones at first, but keep looking for constant updates to see all of the new things we will be putting together on it. So don't wait, go ahead and bookmark away! www.infamouswebseries.com
So, more busy... Yep, it is true, rumors may be dismissed: Infamous cast and crew are hitting the streets to get the word out. We're headed to Thin Line Film Festival (www.thinlinefilmfestival.com) in Denton TX, the former home of our internet personality Melanie Welch and writer Travis Barth. The Thin Line Film Festival is a documentary film festival, but it is a big supporter of all independent shows and we are happy to have been invited to watch, promote, and enjoy the festivities. If you have a chance this week... while watching our premiere... you should swing by and check it out! We will be passing out cards, posters, and talking to whoever is there. Hope that y'all can make it!
So there you go. Lots to do, little time to do it in... ah, independent film, we wouldn't have anything else!
We will keep you updated on how the film festival goes and what we see there.
We will be posting the exact air date soon, hope to hear from everyone, and please get the word out.
Be Seeing You.

What we're looking forward to...
Waking up in a strange tenement building, filled with equally strange residents, John has no memory of his life before this, and is quickly discovering frighteningly powerful abilities that may be both clues to his past, and the reason he doesn't remember it. So who is Morgan, and why is she out to kill him? Why has he woken up in the apartment of Palmer, a nice enough guy, who happens to be a trained medic... and can apparently communicate with computer chips? And this eerie Solomon... who is he, and why does he seem to know more than he's letting on? All of these questions demand an answer for John, and fast. But, what will happen when they are answered?
Find out by watching Infamous!

Don't forget to check out more about just exactly how we're working to create something for you on an epic scale at http://www.youtube.com/infamouswebseries. Just by clicking the link and watching one of our short videos, you add to our growing audience that will, in time, earn us the funds to continue with this series.
Also, remember that we have some amazing Infamous products, including hoodies, t-shirts, posters, travel mugs, and more at http://www.zazzle.com/infamouswebseries*. You can even proclaim your loyalties to John, Morgan, Solomon, or Palmer on your hoodie of choice!

New EPK on YouTube - Infamous Makeup with Liz Bowen
Hello Infamous Blogger Fans. Just put up a new video on how we are doing our Makeup.
In any Sci-Fi / Comic Book Series, Makeup can be very involved. With limited resources in an Independent Web Series, it becomes increasingly difficult to produce any high quality practical prosthetic or Makeup apparatus that can be replicated and cost effective. Add on top of this the difficulty of finding a Special Effects Makeup Artist and you are left with ingenuity. Elizabeth "Liz" Bowen, has taken on the daunting task of learning Special Effects Makeup from the ground up. With a little help from YouTube, a bit of medical research, an ability to create as an artist, her kids to practice on, and a drive not to quit, Liz has created a Makeup Design that is unique and professional. In this Behind the Scenes video of Infamous Web Series, Liz talks about herself, the Makeup, difficulties, and how a full time mom became a Special Effects Makeup Artist for our show. On top of all of this, Liz continues to help in crew, coordination, transpo, Craft Services, and... she is acting in the piece as the dark character of Morgan.
Independent Film is something that is not for the light hearted. With low to no budget, creating a look that is real and that will captivate with common products, and some easily found affordable Ben Nye Makeup, will add to any production requiring blood and prothetics. With Ben Nye products we are able to use a wide range of different things to create and layer a look that is impressive and real. Powder, latex, and a wide color pallet offers flexibility.
To ensure that there is a consistency, Liz uses her iPhone to take pictures for continuity. This product has been great, as we have integrated it into so many different aspects of our production. It is easy, good battery life, and with the multifunction of a computer in hand, internet, and video applications, we not only stay in contact with each other, but have the opportunity to work fast and to proof anything we do almost instantly over the internet. Smart Phone tech has come a long way and with the viewing ability of the phone and its pictures, which we are able to look instantly if there is a question of what needs to be done to the Makeup, Hair, and Wardrobe.
It is important to say that while Liz is doing all she can and more for the show; she is also a full time mom, works two jobs, and has a dog... the last of which is probably the easiest to handle. She believes that if you want it bad enough, you can do it: Makeup, acting, Parent... not in that order. It is great to have her on the team to produce something professional and exciting.
Be seeing you.

A Sneak-Peak, If You Will
Here's a new EPK with series creator Joey Barto that we've put out. He gives us a little more insight on what Infamous is, especially to him.
Official Press Release (What the heck are we up to?)
This is what happens when single parents, working actors, and a creative flare lead to the creation of an independent web series and network in the growing Shreveport Film Community.
Our production team includes two single parents, (Greg Washington, Liz Bowen), an ambitious first time writer/director, (Joey Barto), a small Shreveport studio (Fairfield Studios), and a group of creative actors working for an independent, unfunded web series.
What, exactly, are we doing? This is a web series and network that will host its flagship production of Infamous, an episodic web series consisting of local talent and production, working for free, to create something that will add to Shreveport’s number three ranking nationwide in independent film making. The story is based on super-humans and the gritty side of what would happen if real people - people with flaws - had to deal with true power.
The Infamous Web Series is currently in production of its first season and due to air in February. It's all created and produced on location in Shreveport, LA.
Drive and creative initiative has taken a group of local professionals and pushed the idea that Shreveporters and Louisianaians can compete with Hollywood and be a success; all with donated time, equipment, and a plan. The plan itself? To be the first web network created and produced in Louisiana and to compete on a national level.
Complete with drive, motivation, and not waiting on the business to come to them, this group of independent film makers, actors, working moms and dads, and creative talent look to produce everything from scratch and create business and production in Shreveport, Louisiana. From writing to production, from post to original score, we are a professional collaboration of local boys and girls competing with Hollywood in the third largest area of the nation to create independent films. The story, complete and packed with adult themes and situations and inspired by comic book stylings of the gritty pulp world, has created a series that will appeal to a wide range of audience.
