74. Make an internet mini-series consisting of five episodes (CONCEPTUAL STAGE)

So, I have started thinking about this particular goal, because as I see it, this goal could easily be half-finished over the summer break in-between semesters at school. I could get the filming done over the summer, start editing all five episodes mid-August and then gradually upload them to YouTube when I get back to school where we have decent internet access.

The problem is, however, is the limitations that I have.

My first problem, most of my friends are not anywhere near me this summer since I will be living in VT.  That means that this show would definitely be a one-person cast with just me working it unless I can get my cousins, my mum and possibly my aunts and uncles in on it. 

Secondly, I don't have a video camera. I would either have to save up money for one (which is impossible because I need to save money for when I go back to college), use my digital camera's video function (just...no) or use the video camera on my mac for a more vlog-like approach. As of right now, I am leaning towards the vlog approach because that is the most feasible at this moment, especially if I can set up the room I'm staying in this summer like a set.

Which brings me to my concepts that I would like to try:

After boredom ensued when I was procrastinating from my homework today, I ended up finding video entries on YouTube for the Evil League of Evil contest that were submitted awhile back. Some of the best entries were simple ones that just used a vlog like camera, but the entrants played up their characters so incredibly well for the camera (Princess Zombie and PMS Geisha come to mind). And then it came to me:

Why should I be limited by a Dr. Horrible related contest to make up my own villain wannabe? What if I could just go ahead and make one anyway?

That is what I am currently leaning towards. At risk of getting too far ahead of myself, I am not going to publish the character ideas that I have in mind for this project on this blog, but I will definitely link the videos back to this blog whenever I get them done.
