User blog:Ihu/BIONICLE Nuva - new series!

Hello denizens of CBW! 'Tis Ihu again, with another blog post.

Over the past few months I've been working on a new series with my buds at the CBW YouTube channel - BIONICLE Nuva!



The series is an exploration of the Bohrok Kal era, and seeing what else the Toa and Matoran got up to at that time. It's predominantly comedy at the moment but I'm trying to keep things semi-canon, and may branch into more action later on in the series (likely after the halfway point).

Some of you might have seen this already, but I thought I'd share it about a bit more (nothing like a bit of self-promotion). Episodes are released alternately between my channel and the CBW channel, and you can expect the next episode - Tiribombastic! - to air over there on Wednesday October 1st. It's the fourth episode, and you can find links to the first three on the BIONICLE Nuva page.

Here's episode one, to whet your appetite:



This is a project I've enjoyed doing so much, and I'm really excited to be sharing it with a community I spent so much time on. The first four episodes have flown by for me but there'll be a bit of a gap between now and episode five. I'm about to settle into uni and start studying Film and Television Production, I have another book to finish writing, and several other animation projects alongside Nuva. In terms of said animation projects, Nuva is close to the top of my priorities, hence why I've managed to get so many episodes out so speedily.

As for how many, I'm looking at 8 to 12 at the moment, but those numbers aren't final. I still have some writing kinks to iron out, a bunch of characters to cast, episodes to storyboard; anything can go wrong (or right), and I'm taking things one step at a time. Well, maybe two steps.

So this blog is just to say check the series out if you haven't already. Hopefully you'll enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it, and stay tuned for episode four on Wednesday! Let me know what else you'd like to see in the series!
