Teaser Desktops

Well I've put together these little teaser desktop for you guys out there:
These will be on the website along with a few others hopefully, which should be online within the week. Keep tuned.

Writing, Re-Writing and Proof-Reading.

When I came on board as Head-Writer, we(Producers & Writers) went through a number of new story ideas for Legacy and after about 5 drafts we settled on a solid storyline for the spin-off. However to be awkward I had to do another few drafts with character changes. You see we had almost 13 main characters and that was far too many considering we've got to develop and give each of the characters deserved screentime as well as finding all the voice actors to do the lines.

So I did another two drafts before we finally settled and now the number of main characters is down to 5 with a number of recurring characters. So to that extent I'm happy to announce episodes 1 and 2 (Heliopolis Parts 1 and 2) have been proof-read and are now fully finished and I'm also happy to say I have just finished draft three (with recent character changes) of episode 4, currently entitled Lockdown and that has been sent off to be proof-read.

Also keep your eyes open for the Stargate Legacy site which should hopefully be up within the week.

My History in the Project

Well I am the Head-Writer for the project. I joined sometime around January and proposed a new story idea. Unfortunetly there was abit of tension between myself and Alex Mcpherson, the current producer who was acting as the Head-Writer before I joined. After a few drafts of the pilot episode and story ideas, Alex began to trust me.

I'm am really enjoying my job as Head-Writer and it's fun coming up with episode ideas and eventually spreading them out across the page as a 50 odd page script opposed to those few paragraphs with story ideas on them.

What is Stargate Legacy?

'Stargate Legacy' is a fan produced spin-off series to Stargate SG-1. It is set to parrel along side SG1's season 8 and also features a character from SG1 which we haven't seen since Season 5. 'Stargate Legacy' is a machinima series which means it is created using computer games and for the first season of Legacy, we will be using 'Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force' which has an excellent Stargate mod for it. When 'Stargate SG1: The Alliance' is released we may change to use that.

The first season will be a 20 episode season with episodes that last between 25 to 35 minutes.
