Desert Earth, episodes 4-8 will be released towards the end of the year, instead of being on a monthly basis.

Each episode takes so long to create, that releasing one every month is a little much.  So instead I'm getting a lot of the "hard work" completed so I can release each episode almost back-to-back.

Episode One: New World Order, has been online since January 12th 2010.  I've had some great feedback personally, from those that know me.  And many people can't wait to see the next episode!

The first episode of this series was aimed to introduce everyone briefly to the story and the world, same with previous shorts I've released in the past (Agent, Destiny, Aliah, Zin).  This way of introducing the world to my stories has been such a huge success, that it's time for the concept to evolve past the odd short, and onto bigger things.

Episode Two: Loss And Regret, is now online, opening up the story with new characters.  Check it out on the Episode Two page.

Every episode of Desert Earth is mastered in HD.

Currently, only Episode One and Three is online in HD.

Desert Earth was originally planned as a 6 episode series, though there was plenty of scope to take the series further.  Adding in an extra 2 episodes, filling in the gaps with 2 "flashback" episodes, answers so many questions, yet asks so many more.  The conclusion of this series, and the hints given in the "flashbacks" will want you expecting more, and depending on the series feedback, could give birth to a second series.

Episode Three: God On Trial, has made it online!  The episode includes 3D rendered city cars.  The city has also been rebuilt, new sets have been made, it's actually looking pretty cool.

I have been a little busy recently.  Everything not only takes time, but all depends on what funds I have at the time to buy additional sets/outfits/sound fx/etc.  The series is made very low budget, but it does prove that with a proper scripted story and characters you can relate to in some way or other, anyone can produce something that's worth the time of day.

Cast: (in order of appearance)

Duncan Farnden-Marks (all 8 episodes, as 2 main characters for episodes 2-8)

Daisy Hedges (all 8 episodes)

James Bolton (episodes 2-8)

Steve Moreton (episode 2 - voice only)

Gemma Chidley (episodes 5-8)

The cast has room for 4 one liners.  This is the biggest cast I've had for a single project.  Due to a friend being unable to play one of the main characters at the last minute, I stepped in to fill the role myself, which will prove quite interesting, as my characters interact a lot in the final 2 episodes.  There's 9 roles for the project in total, 5 one liners, and 4 main cast.  I would've preferred 5 main cast, but time to recast was cut short.

Some of you may know that Gemma Chidley has previously been involved in another of my projects, Destiny: vol.1: Clash.

Earth's cities are domed due to the planets failed atmosphere. The lands and the people of Earth, have turned to dust. Exposure to the outside boils the blood and burns the flesh from its bones.


This is my new episodic project. It will be screened as a motion comic, due to the use of CG and "real people" involved. In theory, this would also cut down on the amount of time it'd take to produce and the cost to me in the long run. Which would've also meant I'd have time to make this and Destiny: The Movie, side by side.  But working half way into the first episode, this wasn't the case.  So instead, Desert Earth is being put ahead of everything.  Which could be for the best, as the length of the project as a whole is pretty much a movie in itself.
