Making Glasgow's Superhero - A message from the writer
"Hello, I'm Fraser Coull and I am the executive producer of "Night is Day: The Web Series", Scotland's first ever web series following the adventures of Glasgow's superhero. I'm also the writer and the director of the series. I am working with Kim Ferrie on this production who is the co-executive producer.
I've been involved in independent filmmaking for the past 3 years, starting my career at the BBC in Glasgow, training in HND television operations and productions at James Watt College and then immersing myself in every freelance job I could find in the industry.
Everybody in Scotland seems to either make a drama or a horror, and sometimes a comedy. Everytime I said I wanted to make a sci-fi film I was told I couldn't do it because there isn't enough money to do it right.
I've been doing tests, planning projects, trying different things out, and even though I haven't succeeded with everything I've tried, I now have my sci-fi series.
My crew and my cast are very capable in their fields and thankfully we can now produce special effects that look professional and believable.
The superhero sci-fi genre is well established in the States, and now it's time for Scotland to get their own superhero, Jason Mackenzie.
I hope you will support our series, and I hope you will enjoy the stories we want to tell with these characters. This isn't another Scottish drama, this is a superhero series, with real characters in exciting new situations.
We've had an amazing run with the first series with filming in the Glasgow Necropolis, Glasgow University, and even The Lighthouse. We even had Martin Compston, the star of the sensational Scottish film, Sweet Sixteen, guest starring in the season finale.
We're now finishing up the series 1 DVD of our Scottish sci-fi series and we've started pre-production on the 2nd series. We hope to get enough funding from investors to make our 2nd series about our Glasgow superhero in May 2008.
- Fraser"
