Greetings, all.
Before I get started answering questions, there are two things I’d like to say.
The first is, thank you. I want to thank everyone who watched the show, and who posted their comments on the HJU forums. Whether you liked the show or didn’t like the show, or thought it was ‘meh,’ the fact that you watched and cared enough to comment meant a lot to me. Without feedback and criticism, a writer does not learn or grow. We need to hear what works and what doesn’t work. We need to know if we got the story across in a way people understood, and if people liked and cared for our characters. All of you, regardless of your opinions, were very helpful in this, and I will take these lessons to heart.
The second thing is that you will find that the answer to quite a lot of your questions will boil down to the same two things - budget and time. Kamen Rider Dragon Knight was not a show with a lot of money. I don’t know exactly what the ‘per episode’ was, but I would guess it was close to half what it was for a typical Power Rangers episode. Because of the low budget, we didn’t have a lot of time. We shot each episode in three days, again, roughly half the allotment for a Power Rangers episode. Considering those limitations, I think the directors, cast and crew did an incredible job, but it did mean that there were some things we wanted to do that were just not feasable, and that some things that we did do that could have been done better if we had only had the time and money to do them over.
Okay, on to the questions!
