This is our short online interview /
questionnaire with The Director of Communications for Mainframe Entertainment:
1) What were Mainframe's expectations for ReBoot during the
first few months of production, and have they changed and how?
There are many other dynamics now.
Since the company has increased from the original 5 employees to 230 and we now create
shows other than ReBoot, our future plans are on a much broader scale.
3) Is there a certain age group or criteria of audience that the show was primarily aimed
at?
The creators originally wanted the show to approach a more adult
audience. But when it aired it was geared for children 6 to 11. Today, 6 to 11 is still
our largest demographic but we have numerous adult fans as well.
4) How have all the responses from fans such as ReBoot web pages, fan fiction stories,
character "shrines", etc. affected the direction of the show in general?
It is excellent to have fans give us their feedback good and bad as
our production staff love to hear what they have to say. Fans always give their ideas and
suggestions about storylines etc. but we have our writers and story editors who
develop/alter the scripts. We don't accept scripts from fans. as it is really a liability
issue.
5)Does Mainframe Entertainment support the idea of all the non-profit fan pages such as
this one?
Yes we do, as long as their information is correct, and up-to date.
7) What about the character designs; has the appearances of characters been influenced by
anything in particular?
The characters were developed by the original creators of the show.
Characters are green, blue, red so there is no chance of racial slurs in the show and each
character contributes to the concept of life inside a computer. This in turn, helps kids
understand how computers work with a little leeway for their imagination to run wild.
And now for the most popular questions that were sure you answered a billion times
already:
8) What can fans do to support the production of ReBoot as well as Mainframe
Entertainment, so more new episodes can be achieved?
Many fans have already written to broadcasters who previously aired
the show in the hopes of bringing it back on air. Unfortuantely, the decision is really up
to them - we have no control over when and why they air the show.
9) If Mainframe's finance increases, is there a possibility there will be a 4th season?
Has there been any plans for the season 4 plot-line yet?
Nothing has been confirmed about a fourth
season yet. We are currently working on various other productions right now.
