Origin
Scientific Method is based on my first, fully-voiced animated series that I started in high school, the Underground Defenders. It was an attempt at an homage/parody of Power Rangers and featured a giant robot (formed from three separate vehicles) fighting monsters-of-the-week. Both Underground Defenders and Scientific Method feature the same cast of characters, albeit different versions.
Underground Defenders lasted 28 episodes.
Deimos: An Act of Love
A proto-Scientific Method live action attempt made after I finished Underground Defenders, but well before I started production of Scientific Method. The script for Deimos eventually became episode 4 of Scientific Method.
I ran into a lot of production problems, and the whole thing is a mess. Most of the cast either dropped out or never showed up for filming; I ran into equipment and software problems; most of the dialogue was either cut or significantly trimmed, and I filled the gaps by resorting to French intertitles (à la silent film) and non sequitur Japanese and English voice overs.
Deimos: An Act of Love II
A remake of the script of the live action Deimos, but re-enacted by Star Trek action figures; this version was much more watchable than its predecessor. Because I used voice actors, cast dependability wasn’t a problem, and I was able to use the original script, allowing for a more coherent story.
