I've written a script for my very first webisode. So far, the series revolves around a dysfunctional family (is there any other kind) who meets annually for a reunion. The central action of the series revolves around what happens at the reunion. However, I thought it would be best to first introduce all the characters separately before they converge at the reunion. That way, we get a feeling of what their lives are like as individuals before we see them as a family.
My first webisode revolves around the main character, Ben Shaw (26). Ben hates his job as a greeting card writer, mostly because he has to work with a giant tool in the form of Dave. Dave likes to write vulgar limericks and leave them on Ben's desk. The webisode ends with Ben playing a practical joke on Dave right before leaving for the reunion.
I'm really happy with how Ben is developing as a character. He hates large aspects of his life, but he tries not to let it all weigh him down. I think he will be really fun when he gets together with the rest of the family. I'm also planning on introducing a love interest for Ben later on, and using this as the main dramatic arc of the webisode series. I'm really excited to continue writing and discovering more of these characters.
