Hey everyone, just wanted to make it known that ‘A Terry East Moment‘ has been changed from March 10th, 2010 to April 1st, 2010. The extra few weeks will give us the time needed to finish it all up and make sure it’s ready to go. There’s a lot more work to putting together 50 episodes to be released than originally expected!!
WHO IS TERRY EAST AND WHY ON EARTH DID SOMEONE GIVE HIM A CAMERA CREW?
Terry East came from a country in the Middle East called Afpupistan (pronounced Aah-pupi-stan). His hometown of Goateluv (pronounced Goat-love) was up in the mountains but that didn’t stop him from crossing the boundaries of his culture and having his wife Oumelda (pronounced Ooo-Meld-A) who just happens to be a Camel and not your every day human like the rest.
Terry was then BANISHED fromhis hometown of Goateluv, assembled a camera crew, and is ready to unleash his own brand of havoc upon the global air waves. Oumelda has been hidden somewhere in the mountains and until Terry gets his act together he’s not going to be able to get back up there anytime soon.
He’s going to need the help of friends.
But what friends from the Rotten Puppets universe will be unleashed to assist Terry is anyones question. Rumors have it R.J. Smythe has been seen in the area and he has been a pal of Terry’s since the 80’s when they flew choppers together for Zammo Industries. Both have fallen off the wagon long ago from ZI and they are both considered fugitives at large. Why those fellas follow with the cameras and don’t end up dead is a mystery. It seems Terry has taken a liking to speaking to the people through the camera.
And by the way, Terry has vowed to stop at no costs in hopes he can one day reunite himself with Oumelda. That’s not just any camel, that’s his 8th wife!
I figured I would detail a little better what exactly we are going to be doing here over the next few weeks while getting the rest of ‘A Terry East Moment‘ filmed, produced, and prepared for the web show. The goal is to provide a more complete RP Universe to the casual viewer, and a more robust and detailed experience for the fan more into it. This way everyone can take the experience at their own pace. The new website setup last year was a giant leap forward in the ability and ease of getting more content out to the site.
Overall, I think it has done well and proven itself to be an easy model to keep up and get more content visible from the main site without heavy navigation or time spent waiting. This all happened during a 12-14 month period of my personally moving to a new location, having to break down and setup EVERYTHING, etc. It’s been a long year but we’re starting to come out of the dust and making leaps forward in our goals. The master plan as it is called by some has only just begun.
With the release of ‘A Terry East Moment‘ we want to make sure we are offering more of a full experience to anyone coming to the website. So this led to the idea of bringing back what we once had for a short while 2+ years ago. A message board. (www.rottenforums.com) Based off the brand spanking new vBulletin 4.x series. It’s a slick system with a built in front-end for articles, a blogging system, stellar message boards, and plenty of things to add-on in the future. It will have a news like splash page just like Rotten Puppets but it will be completely about itself and that of supporting the RP Universe.
Whether it’s a contest entry, a message from one of the Cast Members exclusive to the forums, a fan art submission, etc. Overall though, you will be able to see just about all of the same Official Content (aka movie releases) on both sites, with the forums being more involved, more fan participation, more cast participation. Meanwhile the main RP site will remain as more of the showcase/ display it has become. Like all good things it will take some time to build and get started but we promise the final product will be enjoyable.
So what are ya waiting for?? Come on over and sign up to the Rotten Forums today and get a jump start on the rest of them! Introduce yourself, start up some conversation, and discuss any of the 20+ current shorts we have produced to date. Cast members will be arriving soon to join in the fun.
Well that was a fun experience! I guess the hot glue and paint chips got to me for once and I lopped off one of our needed databases! So off we scurry to the folks that run our database servers and they repaired it in short order! They said it would take 3-5 days, and they had me restored in 1 day. Bravo!
Now all is good in the hood and we are back in business. There is going to be an update later tonight in regards to ‘A Terry East Moment’ to move the date back a few weeks so we can enhance our web presence before releasing the show.
We are currently developing a new forum over at Rotten Forums that will be linked to this site and interactive with each other. This way the Cast Members of the RP Universe can have a more personal involvement with everyone watching the shows! You’ll be able to submit questions, comments, or tell us we suck and you want us to burn in a pot of sauce. There will also be exclusive forums only contests, events, and videos for members only. It’s 100% free to join and participate. The forums are not ready for a prime-time release by any means currently but if you’re bored or have a moment and want to stop in and check things out and poke around trying to break stuff, it’s appreciated.
Back to work we go, Terry has another promo message or two that will come out with the show’s new date announcement.
Terry wanted to forward a joke to everyone. He enjoys telling jokes from time to time.. and this is one of those times.
Do you have a joke you this is good enough for Terry to tell? Send it to puppetmaster@rottenpuppets.com and if he likes it, he just may say it on the air!
Terry wanted to do a quick station ID for Rotten Puppets while we had him in the studio. This of course all went down on the studio cameras before he ran off with the rest of the camera crew to parts unknown. Still nobody has a clue where Terry has vanished too but we have this clip for the moment to remember him by!
Well the time has come. Someone screwed up and gave Terry East the opportunity to do a small photo / video shoot. And what happened?? Well Terry ran off with the entire camera crew and now they are all working for him! We don’t know if they are willingly joining him on this journey, hostages at gunpoint or worse, or drugged on the latest terror-pill. But we know this for certain; Terry is here, he is on the loose, and nothing and nobody is going to stop him.
So enjoy this short promo for his upcoming show ‘ A Terry East Moment ‘ starting on March 10th, 2010 right here on Rotten Puppets.
Hey everyone, it’s been a while since the last update so I wanted to fill everyone in on what’s going on around here. The workshop has been overwhelmed again but we’re just about done with the current string of creations and ready to move our efforts back into the side of filming. The writing for the first mini-Season as it will be called is deep underway and nearing completion. Details in a moment..
Terry East has arrived in the land of Rotten Puppets. You have all been warned it’s going to get spicy from here. We are feverishly working on a series of mini episodes entitled “A Terry East Moment” where Terry will share his story, tell some jokes, and generally have fun at everyones expense. The current release date we are hoping for to kick this off is going to be March 10th, 2010 and it will be 50 episodes coming out Weekdays. Just what you need to spice up that boring office job every day, or to watch at night in the library of your local prison. 10 weeks of non-stop Rottenville madness. What more could you ask for?
As for Terry, He has a special video message for you all tomorrow welcoming himself into our world. You will get to see what he’s all about
Just a 2sec thing with a backup camera that was TOTALLY out of focus. For shame. Such is life. He was in the studio and picked the damn thing up on his own.
