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.)

Earth-GØ
Most prominent about the majority of early Dozerfleet development post-2006 is North Bond Hall, where the Dozerfleet founder lived during most of his time at Ferris. The lobby to the Bond Hall complex featured many special events, including two dating auctions. Room 165 was where work resumed on Ciem 2007 after the move from McNerney 116. He remained in here from May of 2007 until May of 2008, then moved to Room 308 of South Bond Hall for one summer before moving to Room 207 in the North for the fall 2008 semester. Special about the back area of Bond Hall was its proximity to a volleyball field, as well as access to the Bishop building and to DPS. The Bishop building was at one point a main station for the TDMP program, though it had been a residence hall prior to that. For the 2007-2008 school year, the Dozerfleet founder had to park in Lot 47, as with the 2006-2007 year. Come the 2008-2009 year, he was able to relocate parking permission to Lot 5, just outside Bond.

North Bond 165
North Bond Room 165 is where the Every Ape and His Brother songs "Serial Bomber," "Serial Bomber, Part 2," "Salem (Story of a Trial)," and "Slaughterized" were written. Interview with Polly and Mutt Mackley and Gambino Penguin's "Somewhere I Belong" were both filmed in this room, with the latter including downtown Big Rapids locations. Music For and Inspirational to Ciem was also assembled in this room. The Trapezoid Kids: Dwell-A-Thon: A Look at The Blue Face Film Strips was animated in this room. "All Your Shapes Are Belong to Us" had preliminary voice acting and recording done in this room, before editing was moved to a studio in the IRC building. The Apple Pecan Lodge ad's script was written in here around that same time period. Farewell Graduate: A Day at the Open House was created while the founder was living in Room 165, though it was filmed in Delta Township and edited in the Bishop building. "Reflections on Tom Ruegger," "Roffdubbing and Memetic Mutation," "The Trapezoid Kids PSA-A-Thon," and "YouTube: The Double-Edged Sword" were all either written or assembled in Room 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." "Concerning the Fitzgeralds" was written for a literature class while he was living there, along with "A film review of Ghost Rider." "Once I'm Gone" was written in April of 2008 at the library, while the founder was in the process of moving out of 165.

North Bond 207
North Bond Hall 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. "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.

North Bond 213
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 North Bond Hall 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.

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 book are spread out over the entire semester. The 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.

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. 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.

South Bond
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 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.

North Bond 241
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.
