"$12,000 worth of supremely awesome Monster cable" - perfect
Dodging the all-important question - priceless.
James, I used the Web-based method, and it takes me at least 3 hours to do each one, partly because I have no idea what I'm going to write when I start, and mainly because (as you know) you have to wait for it to recreate preview each time you want to hear how words are pronounced. I try to tweak phrases and words to get rid of the ones that the text-to-speech butchers the worst, but that takes forever.
Then, I geek out too much on the expressions and animations.
Worst, I worked all night Monday on what would have been Episode 3 (this is after my day job, and after getting my son to bed) and had it within 1-2 more previews of my deciding to Publish... and what do you know, the previewing function failed, & crashed my browser. Then, when I returned, I could not retrieve the 98% complete movie I'd been saving every 5 minutes.
I have a help desk ticket in with Xtranormal but don't expect much, so I wrote a different Episode 3 instead (and if they recover the lost movie, I'll just make that Episode 4.)
This is my first time making ANY kind of a Web series, and it's quite satisfying when people ask when the next one will be ready... though, in my case, there are only a handful of folks THAT interested.
