History Series / BloodOverWater

* WebcomicTime: The entire story supposedly takes place within about a week. But the ever-shifting weather patterns indicate that it only took one week to go from summer to winter. In reality, it took four months to shoot all five parts. Analyzed in detail [[http://dozerfleet.wikia.com/wiki/Production_bloopers_in_Blood_Over_Water here]].

* TheFaceless: Clyde. The one time in the 2009 videos that he is seen, at the very end of Part 5, only his right arm and the back of part of his head are visible...as he's talking on a cell phone. The short-lived Utterly Sims download titled ''The Blood Over Water Complete Cast'' contained [[TheSims a Sim]] of Clyde. [[note]]It was taken down because the Dozerfleet founder was protesting EA's support for [[InsistentTerminology Crooked Pseudomarriage]], while bashing traditional marriage. Dozerfleet Productions made a point of defending Chik-Fil-A during the bad publicity and harassment in received in 2012 from gay activists who overstepped their bounds. Only further aggravated by news of the Floyd Corkins shooting rampage at Family Research Council, which prompted The Dozerfleet Blog and Wilinski Forest to adopt a "Stop the [[GayMafia Crooked Rainbow]]" campaign to deal with the under-reported issue of gay-on-straight violence.[[/note]]

The show has had numerous [[WorkingTitle working titles]], and was originally going to be called ''The Widower and the Conpiracy''. It then became ''The Widow and the Conspiracy'', then ''Kozerlen''. ''Kozerlen'' was then re-worked to have a twin brother go missing, rather than the hero's spouse. This was because while Cassie was going to be cast as the heroine at one point, Zach took over the role. From there, it was renamed ''The Twin Conspiracy'' and later ''Mountain of Cabal''; before being renamed ''Bogged'' and finally settling on its current title.

Alas, Mark soon goes missing. He alerts his brother Aaron that he intends to go on a fishing trip with him. But when Aaron gets no response, he goes over to Mark's house to investigate. He finds it in ruins. Strange men begin chasing him around, and it grows difficult to tell friend from foe. Chris soon finds that Aaron - and other innocents - are being caught in the web of deceit and attempted murder that Clyde has enacted to keep his cleanup fraud scheme from becoming the town's biggest scandal in years. But as more innocents get entangled and the body count starts piling up, Chris realizes he faces a difficult choice: Betray his company, or betray his friends. They say Blood is ThickerThanWater...[[{{Tagline}} But by how much]]? Also, [[DoubleMeaningTitle Blood has been shed over water]].

The mini-series began life as a drama project, to set the Wednesday night class apart from the Thursday night class, which made social issue documentaries. Given that "instructor" Nathan Meadows was [[HippieTeacher big on environmental issues]], the only major requirement for class was that an [[GreenAesop environmental theme]] be shoehorned into the plot ''somehow''.

The result was a four-month-long adventure in filmmaking, one which forever changed the six students partaking of it as they learned about [[FinaglesLaw everything that could possibly go wrong with a production]].

''Blood Over Water'' is the brainchild of six TV practicum class students in the fall semester of 2009 at Ferris State University. But it became something more than the [[SmallNameBigEgo (not-so) humble]] class project it started out as. The six students included the founder of Dozerfleet Productions, the same entertainment think tank behind the CiemWebcomicSeries and ''StationeryVoyagers''. The other five students included a video freelancer (Zach), a videographer for BNP Media (Kyle), and event assistant for the Michael Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation (Cassie), a football player who would later become an associate for Star Power Entertainment and Marketing (Chris), and a criminal justice major that later attended the New York Institute of Technology (Angelica).
