Civil Protection (series)

Civil Protection is a Machinima series created by Ross Scott, the creator of Freeman's Mind. It follows the misadventures of two Civil Protection officers, named Mike and Dave prior to the events of Half-Life 2.

Delays

Due to the production techniques being almost akin to that of making a mod in terms of staging, it tends to take much longer to make than a Mind Series (which is partly what led Ross to switch to mainly working on Freeman's Mind over Civil Protection, as well as FM's apparent greater internet presence and popularity). Ross Scott has worked on the 2011 Halloween Special "the Tunnel" and finished it on 2011. To date there are only 8 episodes of Civil Protection against Freeman's Mind's 72 (counting Episodes 0, 10.5 and 61.5)

Show History

Civil Protection's first episode "Friday" Started on Machinima on September 8, 2008, In an attempt to let the viewers know news on how the show is going Ross Scott made the Google Blogspot "Civil Protection" which eventually also showed news on his other show Freeman's Mind. Not counting specials, Civil Protection is on its 8th Episode. After parting ways with Machinima and regaining the rights to his content, Civil Protection was moved back to his channel and removed from Machinima completely.

Ross froze the development of the series after the release of Source Filmmaker, announcing it could only resume after the future completion of a full-length movie he had been wanting to create for a long time, in a different universe.
