THIRD BASE - Teen sci fi drama

Ric · November 24 2011, 11:14 PM

Hey guys

I've previously worked on the Star Trek fanfilm Intrepid, doing a bit of lighting and editing.

My latest project is a sci fi web drama titled 'THIRD BASE'. It follows a group of teens are they become marooned on Mars.

I've written and directed a 60 second trailer, which is competing as part of the Movie Extra WebFest.

If you've got a minute to spare - please check out the trailer and vote for the project. We're competing to win a $100k production budget to produce a full season

More info on the Third Base website and Facebook pages.

Be great to hear what you think of it!

The J.J. Abrams lens flares™ in that poster are blinding! Got to put on some shades just to look at it.

Heh heh, 3rd Base. Clever name for a teen drama.

Ric · November 25 2011, 04:10 AM

Thanks guys. Yep - there's one or two patented lens flares in the trailer too

Did you get a chance to take a look at it?

tighr · November 25 2011, 04:11 AM

Watched the trailer, interesting premise. I'd have to see the pilot to pass judgement.

Ric · November 25 2011, 04:22 AM

Cool - well hopefully we will get a shot at doing a season of the show!

The trailer isn't loading for me... but the stills look very nice.

Ric · November 25 2011, 08:04 AM

Hey Kelso - that's slightly worrying! Did you click through to the trailer on Facebook? Which browser are you using, if you don't mind me asking? Thanks

You need a YouTube presence for me to check this out.

Ric · November 25 2011, 08:35 AM

I'd love for the clip to be on Youtube, but unfortunately one of the rules of the Movie Extra WebFest is that the trailer must reside exclusively on their Facebook page for the duration of the contest.

Here's the link to the Third Base trailer on Facebook

Trailer played fine for me. Looks great Ric. I cast my vote.

Captain Randy Hall · November 25 2011, 09:32 PM

I agree! The teaser looks great, and the premise is interesting. Good Luck.

Nice photography.

Do me a favor. Next time, either link to the pictures or make them a bit smaller. They're too big and cause problems in trying to view them. Thanks.
