Dating Through the Ages - Cleopatra (Epik Fails of History)

Epik Fails - Episode Titles

In case you’re not one of the cool people that follows me on Facebook or Twitter (shame on you), “Epik Fails of History!” – The Web Series debuted this month!

As I mentioned in previous posts, this was a class project for Network Broadcasting, with Devon Seymour and Mel Buck. Considering we had a far more ambitious project than the rest of our class, I think we did a great job in the allotted time frame. Even though this was the most stressful and chaotic production I’ve EVER worked on, I still had a great time working on it and am very thankful to every person who had a hand in making it happen…

Epik Fails - Dating through the Ages (mystery guests)It’s really a miracle the project even came together when I think about everything that went wrong: there were A LOT of behind the scenes issues: missing props, scheduling issues, last minute script rewrites, editing problems, audio problems, etc – In fact, due to some unforeseen circumstances, I found myself scrambling to finish it by the deadline with the most frantic post-production imaginable. I even stayed up for over 48 hours editing and re-editing it just to finish it in time!

The point is though, it’s finished! At long last…
