Now, some people might say "But team EW:MH, these other web shows are your competition! You shouldn't be talking about them and promoting them!" And that's where these commenters are wrong. With the wonderful power of the internet, you can watch these shows any time you want. The old-style competition between shows, such as on television, only works when competing for a time slot. With sites like Hulu and such, that's been all but eliminated anyway. If all web shows just promoted each other, it wouldn't be a COMPetition, but rather a COMPlementary system. (For a much more detailed version of this last paragraph, check out this insightful Tubefilter article.)
Fist off, The Mercury Men!
This is one we've been looking forward to for a long while now. It's got everything an awesome scifi web series (sorry, web serial) could ever ask for. A neo-noir, black and white 60's feel, cool alien effects, and awesome guns.
The story is about Edward Borman and his crazy adventure in stopping a bunch of Mercury Men (literally, they're men from the planet Mercury) from using their doomsday device named the Gravity Engine. And with the help of a daring aerospace engineer and his awesome gun, the Lumiére, Edward will have to overcome being a lowly government office drone to a hero.At the moment, they only have a trailer online to watch, but it's more then enough to get you into the action and get psyched for the show. With such an original idea for a web series, we're really looking forward to when they start releasing episodes. As you can tell, their website design has definitely inspired our team. Keep up the awesome work, Mercury Men Pictures!
On a side note, coming up soon we're going to be start doing some interviews with various cast and crew about EW:MH. Our first one coming up is with Vincent Guastini, our creature effects creator. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comment section and we'll be sure to try and add them to the interview!
'Til next time, hunters!
