The Demise of Gregory Sleeps Part 1

I wanted to write this post to kind of show how things fall apart. Have you seen that YouTube video where the guys put all those rubber bands around a Watermelon until it explodes in a red catastrophe?

Well that was like Gregory Sleeps. We had a juicy delicious watermelon of a plot, but all the little things one at a time kept piling up until the project was ultimately cancelled. I want to say for the record, that GS was one of the best experiences of my life and as cliched as it may sound, I learned a lot about myself by filming. If you have ever been a puppet master or spent time in front of a camera, you know what I mean.

So the events. What it really boiled down to was Matthew needed to move away. If you have seen the show, you know that Matthew was an essential character. He was 2/4. He was an amazing actor. I couldn't imagine the game without him. I mulled it over a while and came to the conclusion that the series absolutely could not continue without Matthew. Now I don't mean to blame him for anything. People have lives to live right? He would have been miserable if he stayed.

So then what to do? The game was a joint ownership. We had to call it off unfortunately, and the world will never know our engenius plot!

To be continued...
