Yes, it's been a little while and, no, it hasn't been very productive. I'd even go as far to say as I took a few impromptu days off to collect my thoughts before really starting the editing process. The good news about all of this, though, is I finally got off my lazy butt and did some major work last night. Let's just say one of the earlier and longer scenes is finally near finalized editing. I'm really excited about what is going to be revealed in this episode. Really excited.
Moving on, I hope to do the same tonight and get a good start on finishing editing the enitre episode. No, music hasn't yet been selected. No, I'm not sure when this episode will be released. But it will be sometime in the next few days to week. I'm hoping that if I work hard, I can get this episode released by Sunday. Wish me luck and stay tuned!

Filming is Complete! Plus YouTube is Hosting Now!
Updates galore in this latest release, people. The biggest one first --
Filming has completed for Episode 2 of Spelling Bee. Shots are all where I want them to be and I can't wait to release it. I think you'll be really pleased with what transpires in this episode. Now comes the relentless yet "make-or-break" time of editing. Wish us luck as we piece together the various scenes and edits into something (hopefully) watchable.
Also on the news front, after a long initial wait, YouTube has finally agreed to give us a Director's Account where we can host full episodes instead of ones that are fragmented or split in half to fit their time requirements. The full episode pilot episode will be posted just before the second episode airs on YouTube, blip.tv, and Rapidshare. When that will be... well that depends once again on the editing process. Wish me luck!

More SB #2 Updates
Spelling Bee, Episode 2 is going strong. I've filmed half the episode and the last half will only have a big bump to go over in the last scene. Filming would have already finished, but I've been having a little too much fun at the expense of paying as much attention as I could to Spelling Bee. At any length though, from what I've seen filmed thus far, you'll be very pleased with the time it took to get this episode released. Until the next update, stay tuned.

Episode 2 of SB Written!
Yes, much quicker than ever imagined, Episode 2 of the series has been written and is ready for filming. Filming will probably begin midday today and finish fairly quickly over the next few days. If not, it will still go at a brisk pace. REMEMBER: These episodes are expected to take 2 - 3 weeks to come out after the previous episode. There may be some flux of time in between where I have a little free time or have to be extremely busy, so please be patient. I won't keep you in suspense for too long.
In Episode 2 (though I won't talk about it at length), a little more of the mystery surrounding the spelling bee is added and mixed in. There are two new characters introduced and a special event coming up that will prove to be more of an "action" turning point in the series. That all I can say about it for now. You'll have to wait and watch the episode when it comes out to really know what happens!
As for me, I shall be whipping the director into shape about what shots I think should definitely be done. He's very malleable although a bit hot under the collar about not having his perfect 'vision' being seen by the public. Eh, he just needs a bit more coaxing.
Well, that's all the updates for now. This is Jackal from Two5Eight Pictures signing off!

A New Series, A New Hope - Spelling Bee
Two5Eight Pictures has just recently set their sights on developing an ongoing series where a new episode will be released every 2 - 3 weeks. This show has been called Spelling Bee.
An action-drama series, Spelling Bee focuses on the fierceness of competition and what some people will do to win. Following Jacob Rhett, we find him entered into a regional spelling bee for adults. Yes, the concept may be silly, but so is the fact that many people in the USA don't know who the Vice President of USA is. Anyway, the quest towards the on-coming spelling bee is covered with obstacles and envious competitors that Jacob must get past. Will he make it to the Bee in one piece? And when he gets there will he win? How badly would you want to win?
Well, the first episode of Spelling Bee has been released and can be found here:

As for the second episode, it is still in pre-production at the moment, but should be shooting within the next few days. It may be out sooner than two weeks, but I wouldn't get hopes up that soon. Stay tuned!
