Glenn C. Bond Hall

The Glenn C. Bond Hall is a residence hall located on the campus of Ferris State, on the west side of campus, in Big Rapids, MI. It was also the main building for Dozerfleet Productions operations from May of 2007 until May of 2010.

General history
Allegedly, a juvenile female center was once located in this area. But in 1966, Upjohn Company officer Glenn C. Bond became the inspiration for the building to become a dorm on campus, and undergo having its current name. The residential hall setup was broken into three essential components: the Lobby, North Bond, and South Bond. Alterations have been slow to the building throughout the years. In the 2000s, most of Bond Hall still looked mostly the same way it did in the 1980s. It wouldn't be until about 2014 that significant improvements were made to the building.

Bond in the 2000s had a setup in which residents in North Bond lived in single-resident rooms, with the requirement being that they had to be at least a junior and / or be over 21. South Bond had double-resident rooms, with one floor being all-female housing. (But there were no all-male units on campus, because that would've been "sexist" *somehow*.)

Eventually, this setup was altered. The once protected all-female housing setup was replaced with an (almost)-anything-goes sexual behavior housing unit, for giving the severely mentally ill sexual deviants on campus a "safe space" where they could hate on and snipe everyone else - without fear of backlash (unless they were into something like child porn, which is still illegal.)

Dozerfleet real life history
Dozerfleet Productions was moved into this building in mid-May of 2007. It featured a 3-floor building structure, with a kitchenette on the joints of each wing on the second floors per wing, and laundromats on the joints of each wing for the first and third floors. The lobby featured a front desk, a day room, a computer lab, a conference room, two large TVs, a piano, a pool table, a foosball table, lobby courtesy phones, etc. There is also built-in ethernet in each dorm. In 2007, WiFi was theoretical - but most had better luck using the ethernet cable ports in their room walls. Other advantages included carpeted floors, close proximity to Center Ice, and a volleyball pit out back behind the building and near Cramer and Bishop Halls.

In the 2006-2007 school year, the Dozerfleet founder was unfortunately required to park in Lot 47. This continued as a trend for 2007-2008. By the fall of 2008, however, he was able to relocate to parking Lot 5, right outside of North Bond. This remained the de-facto parking lot until he moved out in May of 2010.

May 2007-May 2008
North Bond Room 165 was a left-oriented room in the suite system. As such, it was impossible to properly move the desk from its standard location, put the TV and desk between the bed, and still be able to ensure that the ethernet cable stretched far enough to hook into Dozerfleet Portable. This unfortunately led to a desire to cover up the window, as light pouring in through the curtains would make it difficult to see the laptop screen. This room became a hotbed for early projects. Around this same time, hallmate John DeBruyn was also residing in North Bond. He was almost the actor to portray Prince Volkonir.

Unlike the cold tiles on the floor in McNerney, a cheap-but-warm khaki carpet was in this room. The wardrobe and dresser were switched around from their normal university housing positions. The top of the wardrobe featured a microwave. On the desk bookstand shelf above where the laptop was located, there was a mono speaker / radio system and a blue glitter lamp. At first, the room also had a mini-fridge. Due to the laptop and its accessories, and how tiny the overall desk was, there was no room for sorting paperwork. Initially, piles were made on the floor near the mini-fridge to manage paperwork. When this disorganization became too much of a hassle, the Dozerfleet founder bought a black fold-up card table from Wal-Mart. He also bought some plastic drawers, to further assist with organizing paperwork.

The table also doubled as a place to eat, or as a model setup center for still photography. Free time not spent on homework or on Ciem development was often spent on watching memes, playing Pirates vs. Ninjas on Facebook, or watching TV. Proximity to Center Ice became more and more important as time went on. It was also in this room that Heroes first began to inspire a change in tone for writing Stationery Voyagers.

May 2008-August 2008
In the summer of 2008, the Dozerfleet founder relocated to South Bond Hall Room 308 temporarily, while North Bond was closed for maintenance. It was in this hall that he briefly dated Marta Luka from Luka Underground. Very little of anything interesting happened in this dorm in this semester. He did once play Batman Begins for PS2.

August 2008-May 2009
North Bond Room 207 was the Dozerfleet founder's next destination for a room to reside in. Work on Ciem resumed in here, though most of what remained in the fall of 2008 were final edits - primarily to the end credits. The DSHW version of that machinomic was finally completed and released on WebCD format in January of 2009. The syndication of it on Mod The Sims was complete by December of 2008, ending a 2-year journey in the comic's creation and compelling a desire to make sequels.

With initial classes out of the way, this room was one for completing what remained of gen eds and advancing to the true junior sequence courses. The fall here focused on geography, video streaming, and script writing. The spring semester was all about writing ad copy for commercial radio and TV, doing electronic field production, and sci-fi literature.

August 2009-May 2010
The Dozerfleet founder was unable to attend the summer classes of 2009, and had to sit out on production of Pine Springs. In the fall, he moved to Room 213. An unpleasant dream in this room later inspired the events in Sorbet, which was made canon to Cataclysmic Gerosha.

The most emphasized class for the fall semester was TV Practicum, which was split into two factions. "Team Green" focused on making documentaries and propaganda, while "Team White" focused on making entertainment with some small amount of educational value.

Come the spring of 2010, the Dozerfleet founder had to look for a place for internship. SWOCC Studios became that location, though Grand Rapids Community College and WKTV Wyoming were considered. Ferris Dental promotional and a demo reel came out of life in Room 213. However, the lion's share of time and energy went into producing content for Ferris in Focus and assisting with the live studio crew on rotating positions for Ferris State Live.

In April of 2010, a careless fire started in the kitchenette by another student led to the whole building being evacuated.

More time was spent in the labs and on locations than was spent actually living in 213, as edits and exports could take a very long time - and the studio had a limited number of keys. After moving out of Room 213 at semester's end, he was at the Grand Ledge House briefly before moving to 1165 Drakeshire Ln. Apt. 5 at Drakeshire Apartments in Farmington for the summer of 2010. Every other project from 2010 in the catalog was made at that location, which he moved out of in December of 2010.

Projects created during Bond residence

 * Ciem production was completed inside this room; although post-production would be later completed in Room 207.
 * Slaughterized
 * "Once I'm Gone" would be published in the FLITE Library while the Dozerfleet founder was living in 165.


 * The trailer for Volkonir was drafted in Room 165, though it was shot in the basement of a residential home in town.


 * The Task Delegator was developed for Connie Morcom's steaming media class while the founder of Dozerfleet was living in Room 165, although its rough draft was made in class.


 * Who's Who at FSU?: "Service Workers" was shot in the IRC basement TV studio in the spring of 2008, while the Dozerfleet founder was still living in Room 165.
 * This was followed up with Beyond the Campus: "The Ferris State Criminal Justice Program."

It was in this room that he made Slovak Girls: Keepin' Summer HOT!!! as a commissioned project from Luka Underground. When Bikes Argue was given a film adaptation on YouTube, immediately followed by one for When Bikes Argue 2. What If: Wizard of Oz Rangers Idea was made just for fun that same summer. For a film production class with Clayton Rye, 3-13 was adapted. However, it had to be highly edited due to stock footage damage. Penguin on Drugs was proposed as an alternate project in case 3-13 proved unusable, but that footage was completely destroyed.


 * "Three Takes on a Dream" and other papers were written in here.
 * What Condoms Don't Protect You From began life as an ad campaign with the entry "Self-Control: It's Priceless," written for Clayton Rye's fall 2008 script writing for film class.
 * This also resulted in a script draft for the first chapter of 90 Has No Secant.
 * Around that same time, for Connie Morcom's streaming video class, the Rintel Family House Tour was created as part of a 90 Has No Secant official website draft.
 * On the side, "So Which Is It?: Is The Dark Knight Pro or Anti-Iraq War?" received a posting on the Dozerfleet founder's MySpace page.

Every Ape and His Brother began its third lyrics album, The Chicken of the Opera, with "Jerry the Psycho Reindeer." "Salt the Raging Hamster" soon followed, along with "Die Die Die!!!" as a follow-up to "Slaughterized."

In the spring of 2009, Ciem 2 and Ciem 3 began pursuit. "Music For and Inspirational to Ciem 2" and "Music For and Inspirational to Ciem 3" were quickly churned out, with inspiration for their music style and structure coming from Sony albums Music From and Inspired by Spider-Man 2 and Music From and Inspired by Spider-Man 3.

After a quick stay at the 2009 San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival, the Dozerfleet founder saw The Meaning of "Choice" and was inspired to mix that with a narrative similar to V for Vendetta to create Navyrope for The Gerosha Chronicles. Extirpon and its titular character soon followed.

"The Eel Thing" was written around this time. Several scripts and slideshows were also drafted for the Broadcast Writing class held in the spring of 2009. Most of these became canon to Dromedia, though the Viron Counselors Network ad became Classic Gerosha canon. Wilson's Pig Market Ad, Izzy's Intimates Ad, Diablo Juan's Puerco Ad, Roadkill Motor Mall Ad, and Cheap Charlie's Checkout Ad were all also written during the Dozerfleet founder's tenure in Room 207.

The Dozerfleet founder was in Team White; along with classmates Cassie Tyler, Chris Wilson, Zach Foster, Kyle Mayer, and Angelica McClary. Mackley's Wardrobe was the one of the first series pitches offered up; but it was quickly rejected when Angelina objected to being the deuteratagonist to a hand puppet.

The Twin Conspiracy was proposed next, primarily by Cassie. This evolved into Kozerlen, and later into Mountain of Cabal and then Bogged. The final draft came as Blood Over Water, which became canon to Classic Gerosha. In Cataclysmic Gerosha, a remake revised and rewrote story elements as necessary to retool the story as an origin for the Purge-Flare. This story was set in the fall 2009 semester, as a nod to when the miniseries was shot. However, events in the comic are spread out over the entire semester. Events in the miniseries are implied to all happen within one week, going from summer to winter in that time. Around the same time that the original Blood Over Water miniseries was being produced, "Ideas for Inherit the Wind" was drafted up for Tech Theater class. "On the Ethics of Creating Werewolves" became another entry on The Chicken of the Opera.

Literature / comics
While the Dozerfleet founder never resided in North Bond Room 241, its location became pivotal to plot points in Sorbet, which moved events to this location (as opposed to Room 213, where the actual dream that inspired that story happened.) Sorbet became Gerosha canon as of 2011, after a lunch at the Mitchell's Fish Market of Lansing at Eastwood Towne Center. Later, as a running gag, this room became the location where Halal Affadidah was storing his 1-gigaton nuclear bomb in The Gerosha Chronicles: Centipede + 49, a video game premise drafted in 2013.
