The superhero parody, “Meet the Justice League,” is back and looking for students to help.

Filming has begun for season two of the student-made Web series, directed by Stephen Pfeil, a history senior. Pfeil and the cast will be working on a courtroom scene, which calls for a large number of extras. On Friday, Aug. 12, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the episode will be set at the trial of Lex Luthor against the Justice League, in the Hammond City Council Chamber located at 310 E. Charles St.

“We can definitely use some extra help,” said Pfeil. “If you would like to be an extra for a scene in MtJL2, we will be filming at the Hammond City Council Chamber on Aug. 12. Mayor Mayson Foster has generously allowed us to use the facility during that time. It is unpaid with money, but paid in a chance to actually meet the Justice League, plus a sneak peak at what we’re doing.”

According to Pfeil, drab colored business attire would be best to wear for the shooting. This could be the first of opportunities for extras, but there is no set date for future shoots.

“There may be another opportunity, but the date is to be decided,” said Pfeil.

Season one of “Meet the Justice League” saw significant success on YouTube, grossing over 8,000 views on the first episode alone.

“Aside from some videography and in-class projects, ‘Meet the Justice League’ has consumed most of my mental and creative energies over the past year and a half,” said Pfeil. “The first season was received extremely well by our peers, and the first episode almost has 9,000 hits on YouTube, but we, the cast and crew, knew that we could do better. And that’s what season two is all about.”

Pfeil and his cast are dedicated to producing the best superhero parody on the Internet with Pfeil’s technical knowledge of filmmaking, and the cast’s understanding of the characters.

“You can look forward to a lot more action in season two,” said Pfeil. “The League won’t be confined to the Hall of Justice anymore, you’ll get to see them get out and do things, even fight some super villains.”

Anxious fans do not have too long to wait. Pfeil plans to wrap up the filming of season two during the upcoming semester.

“If everything goes according to plan, we should wrap up filming sometime in September,” said Pfeil. “The majority of the principle photography will be done by the end of August, but there are always extra, smaller scenes that we will need to fill in with. Also, we are expanding our locations to include areas in Baton Rouge and New Orleans, as well as more places in Hammond, so the travel time will slow down production, whereas time travel would speed it up.”

For those new to the series, all five episodes from the first season are available on YouTube by searching for Meet the Justice League. The release for season two has yet to be determined.

“Due to school work, I hope to have season two ready for a December, 2011 release,” said Pfeil. “Don’t hold me to that, but that’s my personal deadline. I’d like to finish it before the winter break so we can show it on campus again.”
