T101 PSS - Epiphany
This T101 project aims to hit the hardest topics, to seek truths, and share them - with a ticklish feather. Not just because the pen is mightier than the sword, but because it goes better in your hat.
I was feeling a little overwhelmed. I have ridiculous volumes of random concepts, ideas, notes, and miscellaneous stuff from a 10 year period, all of which ranks from fair to absolutely brilliant - but it's so huge and chaotic that looking for anything within it is painful. I know I had a better start on this T101 project that I wanted to use and start from. Avoiding my vault I'm still determined to move forward somehow, even if it means starting anew.
Since I'm starting anew, and could always use some help, I thought it might be fun to engage folks and ask them for their ideas. I'm not an engaging enough writer, much less concise, to really draw any attention in this wild world of Internet social media.
An then, on 2019-06-17, I had an epiphany...
Just as I intend to openly develop these projects, so too, I'm going to develop a Trutherism 101 Pre-Series Short animation to summarize what the show is about, about the open management project, what help I/we need, and how folks might support me/us.
I'll wrap up this "T101 Pre-Series Short" with my other "Green Triumph" animated short currently in progress for: 1) the Zoon Politikon YouTube channel opening/closing, 2) the Green/Internet/Pirate Parties to use as they see fit, 3) a SaidIt.net promotional spot, and 4) to become open-source content 5 years after initial release - but without branding graphics or informative exposition text.
T101 PSS - Concept
The simple "T101 Pre-Series Short" concept in a nutshell...
The script is yet to be determined, to be openly developed here, on SaidIt.net. Maybe you want to help.
It begins with our two characters, like actors, simply sitting on two director's chairs, with nothing of interest in the background - flat black, a pastel colour, or a plain cyclorama with a hint of lighting.
Our two polished characters greet the viewer and briefly introduce this project, how it needs creative input, financial support, and feedback on how to improve it.
Something happens. Maybe one slips off their chair, a technical glitch, clever editing, a witty joke, or whatever cinematic device tickles our fancy. This narrative/editorial segue is yet to be determined.
The segue throws us into a montage scene of rough sketches, character development, illustrations, etc. showing the development of the characters and their outfits, then various 3D and 2D experimental treatments to arrive at a "style" or "look" for our limited animation. Then the animation gets a similar treatment experimenting with variations on ways of moving for our characters. I'd like to use voices of the talent who tried out but didn't make it. If sound engineering is necessary at this stage it deserves a treatment. The screen may be quartered to show more things evolving in each panel, including screenshots of SaidIt discussions and script development. Perhaps the screen cuts into 9 panels, then 16, and so on...
As the making-of behind-the-scenes pre-production refining process continues our two characters narrate about the process until they are fully polished. (These polished characters will look good but won't necessarily be locked down as they may be further tweaked and modified before series production begins with final audio reading final scripts.)
In their polished state they are again isolated from any interesting background. With a snap of their fingers (or some other gesture) the background changes and they are on a hillside. (Maybe after the snap-teleportation, one is on the ground while the other is hovering above it, falls, and regains composure.) They walk up the hillside to the nearby hilltop as the camera pulls back revealing the epic view. Fade out.
What they say over the last paragraph's scenario and/or over the end credits is yet to be determined.
It then concludes with the "Green Triumph" animated short with end credits.
T101 PSS - Production Flows & Funds
During the construction of this "T101 Pre-Series Short" I/we'll be sharing developments for feedback while openly evolving a production pipeline process to be utilized for the series, as well as establishing financial support and reward systems of /s/GlossedAndProfound, the open online production management co-op.
I hate dealing with money. But it's a necessary evil. And I'd like to eat better and live more comfortably. But primarily, assuming people like it, I want help on this vision, and to reward that help. Money will not solve all the problems, but it will hopefully make things go faster in this dire time of increasing censorship among countless other problems. But adding people takes time and energy. Hopefully all this effort will be worth it. If I wasn't documenting all this stuff I might be well into production. But it's not just about me. Feedback can make it a better product with a better message, and that's the ultimate goal.
T101 PSS - Title
This "T101 Pre-Series Short" could use a better title.

- Trutherism 101 Series, Currently In Development
- Trutherism 101 Series, Invitation To Participate
- Trutherism 101 Series, Needs Your Support
- Trutherism 101 Series, Needs Your Support, Creativity, & Feedback
- DIY Animated Trutherism 101 Comedy Series
- Animated Trutherism 101 Comedy Series, Coming Soon
- Animated Trutherism 101 Comedy Series, Coming Soon, With Your Help
- Three Minutes About Our New Animated Truther Comedy Series

- Three Minutes About Our New Animated AntiEstablishment Comedy Series
- Three Minutes About Our New Animated Agitprop Comedy Series
- Saving The World With Our New Animated Agitprop Comedy Series
- Saving The World From "Authority" With Our New Animated Comedy Series
Maybe there's a better title for the "Trutherism 101" series too. One that won't trigger the censor Al-Gore-rhythms. Perhaps the final mockumentary will need a distinguishing title too.
Naturally logos, branding, marketing and merchandise are called for too.
If ever there was a time, it will be during the production of this "T101 Pre-Series Short".

T101 PSS - Feedback!
The /s/Trutherism101 subsaidit and its posts are locked, for publishing only, and they'll be updated over time.
Please freely join in on this dedicated /s/GlossedOver open discussion, and specifically about this T101 Pre-Series Short give feedback with [comments and reviews here](▶▶▶_ADD LINK HERE_◀◀◀).
I welcome all constructive criticism. This first pass will have issues with it. Some I may already know about with ready solutions, some need working out, some I know still need resolving but don't yet know how, and I'm guessing there are some issues I haven't even considered. Thanks in advance, and I apologize in advance if I don't get a response to you sooner than later.
