New Executive Producer

kelligrafie · 07-07-2014, 12:05 PM

Brandon Auman, who was the head writer/story editor just posted this on facebook.

I guess I can finally announce my promotion; I've been made an Executive Producer of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Very excited! Lots of awesome episodes to come...

Tazi · 07-07-2014, 12:07 PM

Well, he wrote some of the better episodes of Season 2... I guess that's a good thing.

kelligrafie · 07-07-2014, 12:11 PM

I don't know if he's just joining existing execs on the show or someone left or anything like that.

But he seems like a really nice guy and good for him.

F#CK! Why?

Out of all the good writers on this show...

What the hell? If he's the executive producer he can make sure the show is as good as it can be.

I like Auman for the most part so congratulations to him on the promotion. That said, I really wish they'd bring Byerly, Sternin and Ventimiglia back to the writers room.

Yeah, exactly, this is what an executive does, and he is competent and a proper writer, he wrote most of those episodes I did not hated in S2 so far.

It can be a very good thing.

Him becoming one is GOOD, not BAD. He gains the power to veto some of the crap executive decisions that sometimes try to get through. Plus he's an awesome writer, he'll know more about what makes a good episode, which would eliminate the more Pizzaface-type episodes and give us more of the Wrath of Tigerclaw ones.

*Luckyday* · 07-07-2014, 02:22 PM

Does this mean he will keep the mikey bar from dropping?

But he also wrote the Kraang Conspiracy?

Am I missing something here?

He wrote many good episodes, but ... yes, Kraang Conspiracy was utterly horrible. Or, at least super, um, not my style and not well done in my opinion.

However, this is cool. Hoping this will lead to good things.

Brandon really cares about the show and it's fans. He's very deserving of this promotion and i'm very happy he's now an executive producer!

kelligrafie · 07-07-2014, 04:21 PM

Besides just because he becomes an executive producer, does not necessarily mean that he stops writing for the show. I'm pretty sure he'll be able to do both.

*JTH* · 07-07-2014, 04:38 PM

Congrats for his promotion, though I'm not exactly sure how it impacts the show as a whole.

It may give him the ability to suggest or fight for an idea someone may have, but ultimately I'm pretty sure everything still goes through Ciro and Ciro alone.

Don't know, we'll see.

Werecat · 07-07-2014, 04:46 PM

Good for him.

But I thought producers only handle the money and only call for rewrites when one scene will be too costly. How will him being executive producer ensure better written episodes?

Ciro's executive producer and he's had a LOT of creative input. The very first designs for pretty much all the characters and settings have come from his sketches.

But I'm guessing Brandon has a lot of input that way inclined anyway, maybe this is just them giving him a title (and paycheck) befitting a role he already does?

*Refractive Reflections* · 07-07-2014, 06:14 PM

So out of curiosity, who was the former executive producer for Nick TMNT before Brandon Auman?

There's can be more than one Executive Producer. The new Turtles movie I believe has about 3 or 4 in fact.

Megan Casey I believe is one, and I believe Ciro himself is one also. Ciro is just the head producer as well.
