- Pawns and Ponies is an idea that I have been working with on and off over the last few months. The idea came to me after watching a web series based on Eve Online called Clear Skies, which is basically a few very well-made fan web videos about the lives of a ship crew in the Eve-Online Universe. To my knowledge, something like this has never been done for the Aces High world, and I figured it would be fun to give a little bit of fictional (yet in ways non-fictional) entertainment to the community.
The series is based around Richard Dallas, A Rook P51-D pilot, and some of the hallmark engagements he and his squadron (the 4th Fighter Group, Debden Eagles) finds their way in to. The mix between fiction and non-fiction occurs in the engagements, as the sorties themselves are actual, non-scripted flights. Basically, the series will be a look at some really neat sorties from many different "camera shots" with a storyline twist.
Above is my initial trailer, which runs a little over a minute long. I plan on each episode being between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on the sortie I am basing them around. I will judge interest in the series by the feedback on the trailer and the first episode (already in progress), which I plan to have out within a month from today's date. IF there's enough interest to warrant the incredible time it takes to get one of these done, I will continue producing them.
Enjoy!
