Producing The Show
Something that has distinguished this project has been the level of skill evident in the work.
Each episode involves the writing of a story, usually with a main and at least one secondary plot. The story is planned in outline form, broken into scenes and story-boarded so camera angles can be blocked out, such as in any TV show.
Characters are costumed, and sets decorated. There is great attention to detail, from the decals on the laptop, to the themed motel rooms.
Anteka may shoot over 200 pictures, 100 individual shots used in each episode. In post-production special effects are added.
The show has seen a number of very famous guest stars including Viggo Mortensen, Harry Potter, Buffy, Chuck Norris, Jack Bauer and the cast of High School Musical.
While a different foe is faced each week, recurring evil has a cute face in the form of the evil Care Bears, the evil!plastic!Winchesters and evil Kripke.
Anteka regularly posted weekly episodes for nearly four years. There were 22 episodes in seasons one and two, 18 in season three, and thirteen episodes 18 episodes in a third season, nine in season four. A fifth season was started in late 2009, and the last episode (5.03) was posted in November 2009.
