Showcase BTST - Episode 1 - "Sashia"

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:

1. 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
   
2. 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.
3. 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
   
4. Watermarks and janky animations are in place since I didn't want to pay for licensing
   
5. Wanted to highlight the story more rather than relying heavily on CGI.

 

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

 

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.
