Bionicle House Legacy Production Blog

Well, it’s been quite a long time. Almost three years have pasted since I last posted anything on this blog. I completely forgot about it for a couple years up until yesterday. 

I know that nobody follows this blog or many people that follow me use tumblr as it is. I’m not even sure why I made this blog on this platform in the first place. That isn’t important. I felt that I should make a post to talk about what has happened in the past three years and what is going to happen moving forward. For starters, HL 10 hasn’t released. It isn’t done and if I’m being honest with myself, it’s nowhere near completion. I have struggled to create this video from the moment I started to working on it and I cannot explain why. I’ve rewritten it so many times that I’ve lost track now. I have a plethora of ideas for the video that I have confidence in, but writing it all down and filling in the details has been a painful process that I can’t find any acceptance in. This has been the most punishing video that I have ever made. I have the motivation to complete this video. I know that I must complete this video. It means so much to me on so many levels that if I don’t ever finish it, it’s going to bother me forever. I’ve said this before and that feeling remains the same. 

Part of the reason I’m coming back to make this post is to help me make progress on the video. When I was in a rut making episode 9, I came back to this blog to track my progress and say that I’m going to finish this video no matter how unmotivated I am. And for some strange and wonderful reason, it worked. I finished episode 9 and released it. I was so overjoyed by my completion of episode 9 that I decided to immediately dive into working on the finale. Then I don’t know what happened. Actually, I do know, nothing ever happened. This video has been stuck in my head for several years and I can’t go a day without thinking about it. I want to get it out, in my mind and in reality. So that’s exactly what I’m going to do. I’m finally going to complete this video once and for all. From here on out, I’m going to track all of my progress from beginning to end. The writing, filming and editing and probably more. I hope that this helps me make this video, I really do. Otherwise, I don’t know what else I’m going to do. I’ve realized that this blog is a way to help me get out my thoughts that I have towards this video and for HL in general. I’ll be doing my absolute best to come back and post more updates and teasers for the video.

Yesterday after 9 months on working on it. I finally got Episode 9 out. It turned out to be almost an hour long which I was never expecting. But people seemed to enjoy it and it’s got over a hundred views under 24 hours. So that’s awesome. Thank you all for that. So Episode 9 isn’t the final episode exactly. It’s the final battle with all of the sets, just not the official one. 10 will be the end. And I feel like 9 really sets it up for “everything is coming to this, this is the end” kind of tone. So I’m glad that was included in all of it.

Now that 9 is out and there is still one more episode to come out. Where is it? Well, 10 is in a big mess right now with filming only a few scenes and written only a part of the script. It’s up in the air for the moment. I wanted to get 9 out before the end of May so I can focus on finishing the semester and finals. And since that’s going to be a week or two of that. I’ll probably won’t have time to work on it. And after school is done, I’ll be on vacation for a week. I’m not going to give a release for episode as of now because something could change and I’ll be able to finish the episode. We’ll see, anything could happen. I’ll update the blog regrading 10 in the near future. After 10 is out, It’s over. The series and this blog. I just want to inform everyone about that. I may do a stream talking about unused ideas to the series and my farewell towards it. Once again, we’ll see. 10 will mark the end of a chapter of my life and I’ll try to make it relate to it in the episode. Updates for 10 will pop up soon, just keep an eye out.

See ya guys

It’s finished and uploading. Woooooooooooo

Yo guys, I made my promise about more updates, so now I’m providing some.

*HL Episode 9: House Of The Dead*

Alright peeps, it’s getting serious and I’m halfway there, I have at least four and a half scenes left to edit. I’m so close. So far it’s clocked at around 37 minutes (this includes credits) so it’s going to be a pain to upload. But if I can get this out on my three day weekend. I’ll be home free. I’ll probably be having a party and not giving two craps. So if anything happens, I’ll smack a quick post on the blog here to give a heads up. My guess that it’ll be out Saturday or Sunday. We’ll have to see.

(Episode 9 updated progress)

*HL Episode 10: (no official title yet)*

So I just wanted to throw in something brief to talk about the finale, which thus far has gone under many reshoots and rewrites. I’m going to put it on the sideline for now until Episode 9 is done and out of the way, then I’ll pick 10 up again. Btw, 10 isn’t going to be as long as 9. I just kinda want to wrap the story up in a small but not rushed value.

That’s all for now, if Episode 9 comes out this weekend. It will be a miracle (for me that is). I’ll make a giant post about when 10 will be out after 9. That’s all y’all.

Hey everyone, its been quite a while since I posted on the blog here. The last time was August last year I believe. I’ve returned, but with some unfortunate news. In the time of my absence on this blog. I made the descion to cancel this series after the 9th and 10th episode. There are many reasons as to why and working on the ninth episode is one of them. I lost most of the interest of making the series leading me to cancel it.

Around the same time I stopped posting on the blog I started production on the ninth episode and I didn’t finish filming until the middle of October. It was manly due to reshoots and unsatisfaction with the script, so it lead into many rewrites and reshoots. After then, I occupied myself with other projects/life and left it in the dust for awhile and realized there wasn’t any kind of motivation left. But I vowed to myself that if I don’t finish the last two episodes, that it will haunt me for the rest of my life.

And here I am now, actually willing to finishing up 9, and complete 10. Once I do. It’s over. I have other projects in mind that I would like to work on and this is being another reason I canceled this series. So until I complete the rest of HL, I’ll be posting updates on the final two episodes. Thanks for reading, catch you on the flip side.

(Progress for Ep 9)
