Description
If you're about to open Showrunner, watch this first. I'm a broadcast TV director who built a complete animated series in a single day on the platform, and there are things that aren't obvious until you've already burned through 18 hours making the mistakes.

This isn't a "10 tips" video. It's the field-notes version of what I learned building "The Last Stop from Everywhere" from absolute zero in 24 hours, and the setup decisions, character workflows, and Showrunner-specific habits that meaningfully change whether your first episode lands or doesn't.
What's covered:
- The setup decisions most people get wrong on day one
- Why your first show bible probably needs a rebuild, and how to do it right
- Character workflows that scale vs. the ones that quietly burn your time
- The single Showrunner feature most tutorials skip past
- What I'd actually do differently if I started over tomorrow
If you've been carrying a show in your head for years and never had the team, time, or budget to make it, this is the channel. I'm building original IP at broadcast level as a one-person studio, and walking through the workflows that make it possible.
