Episode 2 is Uploading!

As I type this update, Episode 2, "Forge Gone Wild," is uploading to YouTube in gorgeous HD. The last of the editing, dubbing, music and sound effects found Brianne pulling two all-nighters. I tried my best to stay up with her so I wound up crashing and sleeping for three hours in the middle of the day today, one hand lingering near the mouse button just in case the compiling of the final file needed a nudge :)

The surprise of the hour? Episode 2 is *fifty* minutes long!! When we shifted over into a new script format that greatly eased production, the pesky writer didn't realize how much over the standard *thirty* minutes the new episode would be... oh wait... the pesky writer is me :D

So we all get almost double the fun with Episode 2 ;) And trust me, fellow ghost sniffing fans, it is a *lot* of fun.

A little side note, for those of you who watch with Closed Captions, the CC track will be completed and uploaded tomorrow -- we simply have to get some sleep around here! But they *will* be added. The sound is better than in Episode 1, but we'll still be adding a new type of poled mic to Episode 3. We just keep getting better and better!

Also coming tomorrow will be the extensive update to the official website that will add in the Episode 2 characters, sniff, and other fun stuff :)

Oh! And guess what? There are still five big hours left to donate to the KickStarter campaign. Any funds made at this point will help fund Episode 4. Or, go checked out our Prop Wishlist at Amazon.com and use up that annoying gift card you got from your Uncle Albert ;D
