For #WebSeriesWednesday week two I followed a sketch comedy series called The Big Time Show. The series follows two aspiring entertainers - a musician and an actor, as they move out to LA to stay with a rather shady character named Doctor J.

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.

Viewers may end up watching your web series on the same screen they use to watch their tv, or a screen that is similar to one, but that fact aside a web series is not a movie or a television program. Your audience, when first introduced to your production, is surfing the web or being inundated with five thousand status updates on their phone. These people are ready to give you about point-zero-three milliseconds of their attention. Far too many web series have yet to figure this out.
