2012

The Frontier View web site (and also the DJ Frontier site) will officially launch in late 2011.

UPDATE 10/30/11: After a year and a half of delays, we finally have the minimal production gear needed to begin production of the long-awaited Frontier View online television series. Starting today, video will be shot daily for the television series, with all footage organized and logged. Art direction for the series is almost complete, and editing of the first episodes will begin in early 2012.
The first footage shot, obviously, will be used to support episodes, with second-unit type coverage and insert content shot, as the episode scripts are still being written. Think of sampling and the random recordings done in the early DJ Wiz Kid and DJ Frontier days, with these creative elements being able to be taken easily out of context and infused into the narrative of a variety of different programs. Because of the nature of the format of Frontier View, it will require a lot of video “sampling” and supporting footage. DJ Frontier obviously has a lot of experience in this form of art, and it has always been a part of the plan.
From this day forward, C. A. Passinault, who is the lead in Frontier View as DJ Frontier, will always have camera gear on him 24/7, and will constantly be shooting footage. Since Frontier View is being treated as an ongoing indie film serial, this guerilla form of indie filmmaking will make Passinault, technically, the most active independent filmmaker in Tampa Bay and in Florida, as he will be shooting just about every day (although footage will not be filed on a daily basis; expect the footage to be archived and documented once or twice a week, a process which will be invisible to the public and the eventual fans of the series. Passinault will also constantly carry paperwork and a notebook to take notes. The video camera gear package will also contain a small digital camera for production stills and still photography, which will be easy for Passinault because he is also one of the top professional photographers in Florida).
Additionally, there is a side-benefit to production beginning now, as all production work done by DJ Frontier can now be heavily documented, and other projects and hybrid productions will be enabled by this. All GEN 5 production work, and Commercial Digital Release work, will be heavily documented and covered, which is something that was not possible back in the early 1990's. Now, it is (expect a lot of indie film documentaries on his production and event work, with lots of exclusive behind-the-scenes coverage). There is another project which DJ Frontier attempted back in his DJ Wiz Kid days which is now possible, and will be done by default as a benefit of all of this support work for Frontier View. Literally, Frontier View is only the main production which will be supported by shooting daily, and several other production projects will also benefit.
There are some aspects of Frontier View which are classified, as they will use new types of indie filmmaking gear and new types of production concepts. Much of this is still in the works, but will be in place in early 2012, when phase two begins, which is the actual filming and production of the episodes of Frontier View. While some of this new technology will obviously have to be revealed when the series debuts, some of it will never be revealed to the general public.
Frontier View is scheduled to debut in the fall of 2012, and will exclusively be featured on the online film festival and in the film festival events of Tampa Bay Film, Frontier Event Planning, and Frontier Stage Productions. It will be a regular feature of the Tampa Film Showcase Monthly Film Festival and Professional Networking Event Series.
This update has been referenced on relevant blogs, including the Tampa DJ Blog, by DJ Frontier, and the Tampa Film Blog, by C. A. Passinault (who is, as it has already been stated, the same person as DJ Frontier).

UPDATE 02/17/10: Frontier View is currently in preproduction, with production of season one scheduled to begin in the summer of 2010. We are writing season one episodes, and are planning seasonal narrative arcs as well as a general series arc. We are also in the middle of building the revolutionary cyber suit technology that DJ Frontier will wear in the series.

Once production begins, the series will have footage shot on a daily basis (we cannot go into how this will work until the series debuts next year). Each season will consist of 24 episodes, with each episode lasting 30 minutes (and those episodes may be presented in three parts online). The series will explore the adventures of DJ Frontier, as well as tie into other DJ Frontier production work. Each episode will go into behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the work and lifestyle of this genius.

Series creator C. A. Passinault, who portrays his DJ Frontier alter ego and stars in the series, has taken some elements of his revolutionary television series, Futura, which was decades ahead if its time. Futura was supposed to debut in 1993 on cable television, but time ran out for production commitments. Some of the elements of Futura, such as the set, won awards. Every aspect of the first series, including the set design, was by C. A. Passinault. Conceptual elements, such as the revolutionary Hyperscreen format and pro/ retrostage narrative design, will be adapted for Frontier View. Not to be counted out, Passinault has hinted that Futura, with minimal tweaks, may be considered for production in the future. In that case, Futura will be fully compatible, and integrated, with Frontier View. Frontier View will serve as a major promotional core for all of the projects of DJ Frontier; the series is currently scheduled for a run of at least a decade.

Many features and production aspects are classified, and cannot be revealed until the series debuts in 2011 (this includes keywords, too, so don't bother looking for clues). Even after the series debuts, some aspects will remain protected trade secrets, as we expect a lot of attempts to copy the series (and we will take legal action against anyone trying to do so).

Frontier View will debut on the Tampa Bay Film Online Film Festival, and will be a regular feature at film festivals. Episodes will be accessible from this web site, the official Frontier View web site.
