Hello all,

Please take the time to view my web series for BTST (Episode 1 - “Sashia”)!

Plot: Two agents from the Norton Foundation head over to investigate the mysterious case of a brutally assassinated gang leader and the myth surrounding a renegade group of assassins.

A few points:

  • The writing could have been MUCH better if I could work with more assets, animations, background and well, assets in general. I had to retract some of the plot points and re-architect the script entirely to accommodate the paucity of resources. I wanted to delve a lot into the exposition aspect, character interactions, ancillary story points etc

  • Please watch it till the end if you get a little bored with the characters talking! Hoping you won’t fast-forward it! My intent is to make this serve as an overture into explaining the expansive mystery shrouding the eponymous title. This obviously will be scaffolded in the subsequent episodes.

  • I tried to have a twist in place in the end to pay homage to pilot episodes for renowned television shows that end on a cliffhanger kinda scenario

  • Watermarks and janky animations are in place since I didn’t want to pay for licensing :stuck_out_tongue:

  • Wanted to highlight the story more rather than relying heavily on CGI.

The watermark is quite distracting. Consider using DaVinci Resolve or HitFilm Express :slight_smile:

Thank you, will do! I considered using adobe premiere trial version.

I wouldn’t do that. The trial only runs for 7 days.

Just go with either of the software for a start - both are free (though they have a paid version too) - and if you have the money to spend, consider purchasing the bigger version.

Thank you. The version I used for this video is still in its free version limit and it still outputted with the indelible watermark. Felt a bit shortchanged but the software had some of the best editing effects.
