The New Adventures of Shortlad
Season 2! oh yes I remember this! I wrote this entire season (excluding the specials) in the span of only one week due to the completely unexpected positive reception of Season 1. This is why many aspects of the story this season are rather rushed. The 13 minimum episode count has been reduced to a mere 7 episodes. In fact in episode 7 Biscuitboy was to have a more thought out appearance instead of suddenly showing up out of nowhere as Zeno's henchmen for 1 episode. Due to the clearly rushed nature of the season, plans for a follow-up 'Movie-Sized' issue to The Short Wars were shelved and eventually abandoned. However a majority of the planned ideas found their way into Season 3. Despite all these shortcomings Season 2 features the debut of many characters who would become key figures in the overall Shortlad storyline, including: Larry, Tribe Leader, Bugsey (at this time called Rabbey) and the current longest running villain: Zeno.
Episodes:
Episode 1: The Short Reunion
Episode 2: The Short Flashback
Episode 3: The Short Stowaway
Episode 4: The Short Master of the House
Episode 5: The Short Fight
Episode 6: The Short Tribe
Episode 7: The Short Wars
P.S.A. Special: Don't Do Drugs

The Phone Meeting
While the pirate eye-patch may've been my first video production at the college. It was more of a group effort than my own production, this however was a return to form for me as I wrote it, shot it, and edited it almost completely by myself working off only a small brief with a short plot outline and a rule of being under 2 minutes. This was the first time I did anything like this since The Geek Zone way back in 2010. This video in a way is slightly life changing for me as upon finishing the shoot I felt somewhat disheartened and felt that despite all these years making projects I hadn't grown in the slightest. However this was the first of many times where Frank had shown me the truth and persuaded me to continue, he has now became my muse to a certain extent and my bro and now in 2014 I have so many projects I plan to make with and without him.

First College Video Production - Eye Patch Joke
During the first term of College, they had us come up with a pirate joke which they had us make into a video. The pirate in the video eventually ends up becoming my best bro and the very reason I've re-kindled my creative flame. We were all part of the small crew that made this and all produced our own edits of it.

The Adventures of Shortlad
Here it is! Season One now completely online! well minus the Season Two teaser. But here it is, the very first batch of my longest running creative endeavor and probably my most well received. Originally started as something to stave off boredom in English and Maths lessons it eventually grew into a whole franchise. I noticed one of my friends Alex Dixey (Alovision on YouTube) was writing a doodle-comic-strip called Kettleboy. His original strips were very Spongebob-esque, very episodic and very small scale problems. I was inspired by these however soon after I realized I could craft an epic out of this format. Hence, why Shortlad soon became an Interdimensional hero.
I also quickly saw the opportunity for a crossover between our two allowing me to use a Kettleboy from an alternate universe in this story line first appearing in Episode XI. The villains in this season had also previously first appeared in a movie I had made - 'Zoido: Destroyer of Worlds' this is why the bio-weapon that Frogzoid is trying to create is called Zoido Mark II. I will upload this movie once I find a way to regain that footage. Fun-fact: In the movie Frogzoid was originally a Burger King or McDonalds toy used to promote the 2006 movie 'Flushed Away'. Also the first two issues have been redrawn from their original versions.
