Very interesting plot, but, unfortunately, the very low budget is obvious at first glance.
I think that it would be a lot better if the producers invest just a little bit more in camera work and illumination. It's a little disturbing.
The bad acting is somewhat acceptable. A little distracting, but, I can live with that. Afterall it's "pioneer" stuff...
I wish good luck for "Pioneer One". I agree that this kind of production is the future. And hopefully this market will get more and more professional and we viewers will be less distracted with secondary things like camera work and be more involved with the plot itself.

So I found this new web series when I was researching distribution for my web series in development. It was being offered through bit torrent on VODO. The set up was interesting. I downloaded the first episode and watched it. I was hooked.
Best line (for Canadians): Can someone get us some coffees from Willie Hortons... Genius! Pioneer One does a great job of presenting a great story with real characters and a minimalist set. The camera work made me feel part of the action without being obvious or invasive to the scene. The lighting was real and I did not feel like I was watching a polished setup. It was rough and raw and real.
The two leads come across dynamic and alive, absolutely believable three dimensional, as do the supporting cast.
This is a great program to watch. The story is tight and develops at the right pace. The first season of 6 episodes will pull you in.
My suggestion is to download, donate, and distribute!

I downloaded it due to curiosity and didn't watch it for 3 months but when i started watching it OMG i cant stop thinking about how amazing the plot it has and a good storyline which causes you to go on a roller coaster ride of mind bending sci-fi thriller i will say that it is must for a scifi fan or a physics lover or those who like sherlock holmes stories try this new thing it tastes good i am patiently waiting for the next episodes to come i have seen 3 episodes and it made me hungry for more let it come for a homemade series with low budget this has good actors and i would recommend anyone to see this...
don't want to spoil the fun of thrill and suspense so there are no spoilers in this review..

I got the chance to see this pilot at the New York Television Festival, and I'm not surprised it won for Best Drama. Other pilots with at least twice the budget were uninspired and predictable, while this pilot was brave in presenting its audience with questions, and no promises as to when they would be answered.
Yes, the HD didn't do some of the scenes justice (in particular, the way the first scene was lit hurt my eyes...I wonder if they just used the fluorescents that were already there, which I think is a pretty bad idea for filming). Yes, the actors' performances twitch and on a rare occasion falter. But the finished product won me over.
I hope that they forge ahead in making their entire first (only?) season, and I appreciate that they've made sure to keep all episodes as available as possible, and their fans as updated as possible (Vodo, Vimeo, timely posts on their sites, etc.). I'm following them on Twitter, I'm a fan on Facebook, I enjoyed the second episode, and I really can't wait for March when the third episode comes out.
Good job, guys. You prove that, when using the web as a tool, successful low-budget screen production is still possible.

Pioneer One has proved that independent media can compete with traditional markets. More and more people are looking at web series as a way to distribute shows and build an audience. I like the idea of independent media sidestepping the traditional studios and using the internet to reach an audience.
Pioneer One has an engaging story. The music is amazing. For being produced for less then $10,000 I'm surprised how good it looks. I'm hoping that the creators will be able to produce all the episodes that they've planned for the series.
I suggest that everyone watch this series with an open mind. This wasn't produced by a studio with a big budget and computer effects. Yet, it tells an interesting story.
