The challenge
What needed to be true.
Develop a repeatable episodic engine, an ensemble worth caring about and a distinctive fabricated visual identity without letting the worldbuilding smother the comedy.

Space Lasers
A handmade sci-fi comedy universe.
Overview
A darkly comic adult stop-motion science-fiction series about an unlikely crew whose enterprising schemes tend to go catastrophically wrong.
The response
How the work was shaped.
Created the core cast and world, established a BUT/THEREFORE story method, developed a current pilot beatboard and preserved canon with explicit confirmed, latest and considered states.
Evidence
Things that exist.
- 01Ensemble and long-term character architecture
- 02Pilot beatboard: Shoot the Pilot
- 03Practical stop-motion and fabrication direction
- 04Continuity system that separates canon from invention
Why it matters
A substantial dormant IP with enough structure to restart intelligently rather than a folder of disconnected ideas.
