Hitman 101 is an action packed character oriented web series with a lot of production value. The show is probably the most relevant to this blog of all previous shows featured on #WebSeriesWednesday as the series is dramatic and the characters have real depth.

‘Lambent Fuse’ is an Independent film released onto the festival circuit late last year, selling out the Twin Cities Film Festival and winning Best Dramatic Feature at the Highway 61 Film Festival. I recently had the chance to see the movie and chat with the film’s director Matt Cici. What I was most interested in was finding out how the production team made their limited funds go so far on screen.

My name is Kelsey Talton, I am a freelance DP based in Chicago. I’m stopping by to share some experiences gained working in preproduction and crowd funding on my latest project ‘The Last Rider.’ Here I look at several often neglected cost centers associated with production as well as some tips for filling in those budgetary gaps with a successful crowd funding campaign! Happy filming!

For the time being web series are attempting to survive through a traditional ad supported model but the niche nature of the content is likely to change that. Can web based programming thrive under a paid model? A handful of startups think so.

When you decide to watch a web series how much do you usually watch? When Youtube launched back in 2005 videos had a maximum length of ten minutes, and traditionally shorter videos had an easier time capturing more viewers. Two weeks ago the Kony 2012 documentary shattered viral records despite being a half hour long. Short form is the environment viral videos and web series have grown up in, but before they can really mature they might first need to leave the nest.

There is a video on youtube somewhere of some old guy talking about producers trying to make radio programming work on television but struggling. Apparently broadcasters needed to come to terms with the uniqueness of the new television medium - you know, leave behind the old ways of creating media and maybe make this new tv thing into something really powerful.
