Hosted by Sith Shady

Hello and welcome. I am Sith Shady, your host for this, the first episode of a new show: A Look Inside. A Look Inside gives you an in depth look into the stories, people, and organizations that make up the Lando System.

Our first episode shows you the inner workings of one of Lando's most successful organizations, Pimpfilm Ltd. Pimpfilm Ltd. orginally started under the large umbrella of War4Entertainment. It gained it's financially freedom when War4Entertainment went bankrupt in January of 2000. Pimpfilm has brought you such works as the Jorge McFly Saga, Jacques Cousteau: Zee Underwater Adventures, and the ill fated by critically successful Next Generation story, along with many other originally comedy bits. And while Pimpfilm has been realitively inactive over the last few months, much work still takes place in it's Indianapolis, Indiana headquaters as you will see.

When one thinks of what a major media corporation's headquaters looks like, they usually don't dream up Pimpfilm's Headquaters. The Headquaters is a modest, perhaps even cheap refurbished warehouse in a part of Indy not even considered prime real estate. Our crew entered, only to find the receptionist asleep at her desk. Embarrassed by this, a PR representative of the company came to meet our crew and shows us the entire facility.

The PR rep, a Ms. Linda Lowe, first showed us the area where creative teams work on new ideas for stories and improving established ideas. Pimpfilm employess almost 50 people on the creatve staff. Employees are grouped into 5 teams of 10 employees. Each team is staffed with writers, artists, animatics experts and at least one producer. This area is lovingly called "The Pit" by employees since so much of work that fuels the company is done here.

"We enjoy our work." said David Lance, a writer who worked on the Ric Olie School of Acting comedy bit. "Doing what you love, even for the sh!t they pay us is better than my previous day job which landed me in the slammer. My @ss is still sore from the two years in jail."

From there ideas go to be tested, which is where we next went. Pimpfilm as a state of the art testing facility. We went in to take a look at a new idea called "Pimp for Hire", a story about a man named Pimp and his friend named Fuzzy Bear who solve crimes and are always one step ahead of the man. The show was great, as was the facility, but I felt odd about why each chair had a seat belt built in. And also for some starge reason we were forced to leave our wallets in a secure location outside. I could have sworn I had twenty bucks when I came in. Oh well.

Depending on the reaction of the test audience, the idea is sent to one of two places. Bad ideas are sent to the Bad Idea room, known as the Torture Center. Here,people from age 10 to 45 are subjected to the bad ideas repeatedly until they finally crack. During this process, anaylsis of the subject is taken and later broken down by scientists, given everyone at Pimpfilm a scientific reason why certain ideas suck. Usually the only takes for this our local college student and drug users looking for a quick buck. I for one wish the creators of "Bats" would have used the same method.

Good ideas go straight to the head of the comapny, the Pimpfilm Execs. The offices of the execs are the the most plush of all of the Pimpfilm facilities. Staffed with many interns wholearn ther craft from the masters, the execs make all final descisions on which projects go. When asked why all interns were required to were short skirts and partially unbuttoned blouses, or crew got the answer of no comment. I will leave you to draw your own conclusions.

So there you have it. I deeper look into Pimpfilm Ltd. The people behind the scenes that make the stories you enjoy reading.

Next time on A Look Inside, we will take an in depth look at Ignig's Brain. Until then this is Sith Shady and this has been A Look Inside. Goodnight Now.
