String Theory

String Theory is a new Science Fiction series of video shorts featuring the comical exploits of two scientists living on the small volcanic island of Aztlan, just off the coast of Mexico. The average running time of an episode is 12 minutes. The cartoon-like stories are presented in a campy low-tech, practical-effect, puppet show environment. The main characters are marionettes that interact with a bizarre variety of doomsday devices and exotic places. Their machines are created with a "Steam Punk" and 1950's "Retro-Futurism" design. The setting for this series takes place in 1957 up to the end of the world in 1960 and the sets are lavishly detailed and brightly colored scale models done up in period styling.

The 100

7 Seasons
The series is set 97 years after a devastating nuclear war wiped out almost all life on Earth. The only known survivors are the residents of twelve space stations in Earth's orbit prior to the war. The space stations banded together to form a single massive station named "The Ark", where about 2,400 people live. Resources are scarce and all crimes no matter their nature or severity are punishable by death ("floating") unless the perpetrator is under 18 years of age. After the Ark's life support systems are found to be critically failing, one hundred juvenile prisoners are declared "expendable" and sent to the surface in a last ditch attempt to determine if Earth is habitable again. The teens arrive on a beautiful planet they have only seen from space. Confronting the dangers of this rugged new world, they struggle to form a tentative community. However they discover that not all humanity was wiped out. There are people on Earth who survived the war, called "grounders" by the 100. The Ark consists of the space stations previously representing the nations of the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, China, Japan, India, Russia, Venezuela, France, Brazil, and Uganda.
