This is Inside Hoggworks, a show about the somewhat insane attempt to make dotBoom season 2 while also creating a number of other high-quality puppets shows at the same time, in our spare time, for little-to-no money. This is possibly the record of Brian Hogg working himself to death. (Also Hoggworks makes high-quality puppets. You should buy one.)
On a whim, I decided to make another show, called "Ask Palpatine," in addition to the other shows we're making.Because I am insane.
In this episode, I start talking to Nick Cumming, one of the dotBoom 2 writers, about what was wrong with the writing of season 1, and what can be done to fix it.
This is the second part (now of 3) in the look at the elements of the production that we're going to improve.
This is the first of two episodes detailing the various aspects of our production cycle, how I think it fails, how we can make it better. In this first part, I talk about the Sets, the Audio, and the Puppets.
The plan is to create dotBoom 2.0, to make it significantly bigger and better than the first season, and to do so while also making a handful of other shows at the same time, in our spare time, with no money.This first episode is something of a mission statement.
