It’s been a wild ride. Thanks for sticking with us through our first season. We’ve learned a ton over the last year, and we hope to put it to good use in future episodes of The Leet World and beyond.

Also, stick around between seasons. There’s more going on than I even listed in our Announcements. For instance, outtakes are coming next week and a ‘making-of” feature is on its way in the near future. And who knows, maybe a special video or two to bridge the story between seasons… You won’t regret staying around.

Read comments at your own risk- there are bound to be full of spoilers.

That should be tomorrow, by the way. I can’t promise a particular time, it could be morning, it could be later on. But it won’t be today, so lay off the F5 juice.

The final running time is somewhere around 18 minutes, and it’s an action packed mofo on top of all of that. We will spend most of the evening and into the morning hours toiling away, and then Nick leaves me to fly to California for a (much-needed) vacation.

Happy waiting. If you haven’t yet, check out our Announcements about what’s going to be coming after the season is over. Cool stuff.

EDIT: Good lord, dudes, chill. Yesterday I said it would be out at “some point” TODAY. It could be out tonight for all we know. Don’t expect it until much later in the day (it’s early morning right now). And if you don’t what time of day that is for you, google it.

Here’s the stuff in the works…

• The Leet World Season One Soundtrack. Sometime after the release of the Season Finale, we’ll finally be adding a section to our website for you to purchase a soundtrack inspired by music from our first season of The Leet World. Jace has been hard at work on this for a bit now, and is choosing a number of his favorite tunes from the course of the season to re-record and fill out as full songs, rather than the 20-30 second bits you hear in the show. We can’t talk details of pricing and such as of yet, but rest assured, it will be reasonable. And trust me, it’ll be worth every penny. Besides, if you just want one song, you can buy it individually.
• G.R.I.E.F. This is a short Halo mini-series that we plan on doing a few episodes of. I don’t want to say too much about what the actual concept is, but it’s essentially a parody of super-hero teams and should make for a good time. Lots of action, lots of comedy.
• Web Zeroes. Our pride and joy. A live action mockumentary starring Smooth Few Films, filmed in HD. That’s all I’ll say at the moment. We’re extremely excited about this.
• New sites! While we enjoy our website and value the way it’s been able to carry us through the season, it really is kind of busting at the seams, mainly because we didn’t anticipate the kind of use it would be seeing after just one year’s time. A re-design is already in the works for this site, as well as a brand new site that will act as the Smooth Few Films hub for all of our projects.

So there you have it. Some of these things are a bit off, and some of them are rather close, but I really wanted to put this out there before Season One was over, so you know that more stuff is coming from Smooth Few Films during the gap between seasons. There will also be some Leet World related shorts (think the Christmas special) that I can’t talk about too much without giving stuff away.

Part 3 of the Finale is coming in a few days. If you’re wondering why it’s taking longer than we thought, word on the street is that it’s nearing 18 minutes in length. Wow.

EDIT: By the way, tomorrow’s my birthday. Big 25.

Episode Eight will be our mid-season “finale”, marking the halfway point of our first season of The Leet World. We’ll be taking a break after its release for about a month or so, in order to gear up for the second half of the season and really do some solid work for the next batch of episodes. In that time that we take off, there will still be a lot to keep you guys coming back though, so don’t worry. There will be plenty of extras (a Christmas present, perhaps?), as well as a look into some other things that we’re getting our hands in right now, including an upcoming Halo 3 short. That break should give you guys plenty to look forward to as far as the show goes, that’s for sure.

Enjoy, feel free to speculate, and please donate!
