Short is the Word
While there seems to be a general sense that web videos have a 3-minute sweet-spot in terms of length, I am a big fan of the short and sweet.
Tilzy has a review of a webisodic taking that approach called Dank & Nank:
“”It’s about an out-of-work waitress, Dank (Templeton) and an aspiring writer and director, Nank (actor Scott Nankivel who also writes the show), living together as roommates and sometimes friends. They have the familiarity of any two people who spend excessive amounts of time together, supporting, belittling, annoying and embarrassing each other…Episodes are short and sweet, with barely enough story to convey, but just enough to get viewers hooked. It’s a quick joke. A comic strip. And easy to consume with an average episode running for about 40 seconds, both when they’re good (often), and when they’re not-so-good (sometimes). ”
This is a pretty fair review and I think it’s great that they’ve kept it up and kept it short. Here’s a sample episode:
