What about the same video on the previous post on this thread? XD
I'm not complaining.palimpsest - Sorry, I got mixed up with all the videos. The Universal video was on Trailer Of The Day. I got cross-eyed when looking at the frontpage. Good job, guys!palimpsest

Checking my junk mail, I found a contract for a story of mine to be published in a forthcoming anthology tentatively titled "New Voices in Science Fiction". Phew good save lol.
The year's first acceptance so far.
- i_monk4
- I quite like it, it's defo pretty weird. Some ancient aliens stuff creeping at some point I reckon.PhanLo
- Almost through the first season - started strong but got a little weaker as it progresses - hoping for a solid finaleStatic_Line
- The last 2-3 eps felt like filler that didn't really add anything.i_monk
- What show?_niko
- Raised by WolvesStatic_Line
- I was wondering same after Umbilical epprophetone
- like we need some more alien stuff and a change of scenery, maybe a sandwichprophetone

So I have 6+ months to finally get around to reading the Foundation series.Nairn - Definitely read it. I might have to revisit. It is incredibly good.monospaced
- I read those novels four or five times, starting in the 80s. I re-read them each time he put out another book. One even came out after Asimov died.CyBrainX

- lol, kona. don't feel too bad, though. good that they're busy.Gnash
- @jaylarson all hassie, and they left them on the moon when they left.garbage
- Why didn't they go back and place a larger flag. One visible from earth?dorkKn1ght
- the flag would be white by now. UV would have destroyed any pigmentGnash

Negotiating the contract for a third story in another pro-paying market. I think I'm getting a handle on this writing SciFi stuff.
- Fantastic. Can I ask how you got your foot in the door? I have some horror shorts I'd love to get out in the world.mugwart
- Really happy for you. Let us know how it goesmugwart
- I just submit the story with a cover letter and hope for the bestcannonball1978
- Had a couple romance stories that were rejected because I kept ending it with a scifi/horror twist. Where are you submitting yours?futurefood
- Thanks, I only asked as I had a script stolen after I submitted. Wondered if you had managed to get an agent first or something. Think I'll bite the bullet agaimugwart
- Agents don't rep short stories usually. I send mine everywhere. Constant string of submissions.cannonball1978
- I've been struggling to start an anthology series, bogged down in the research.i_monk

- that is from the first episode of the Foundation seriessted
- *lighting one up before is highly recommendedsted
- Really enjoying it so far. The designs and sets are really well done.PhanLo
- yeah the particle effects generator works great, lots of glitter everywhere. recycled 3d models look good in 4k hdr, also spotted a few fake humans in the bg.sted
- imaginary forces work i think.neverscared
- Another boring as fuck tempate-ish title sequencebabydick
- What an exception look. I hope the series lives up to the enormous challenge. The novels are as good as Sci Fi has ever been. The 1st episode was great.CyBrainX

The Creator was pretty good. Not great, but solid.
- Visually incredible, story was a bit all over the shop, but was cool to watch the behind the scenes showing how it was shot on quite a small rig.PhanLo
- It looked better than a lot of multi-hundred million dollar productions.i_monk
- It was a good 1 time watchYakuZoku
- ^defo i_monk really good vfx integration. I always hope things like that would push more indie shorts but it still takes a lot to make themPhanLo
- Allison Janney should do more genre roles.i_monk
- It was much better than what I expected.utopian
- I enjoyed it but the 2 teenage lads I saw it with moaned about it ALL the way through which kinda spoiled it for me, but I'd watch it againGardener
- It was far superior to Rebel Moon, saw both over the weekend.
8/10 The Creator ... 3/10 Rebel MoonRamanisky2
