The next pretty big web series on the launch pad this week is ViralCom, from the early web wonders Joey and David.
Tilzy had a chat with the creators and a mixed (p)review of the trailer.
“The premise is clever, but not altogether novel. Brooklyn-based Black20’s series net_work debuted in early 2007, depicting the company’s insides as [...]
Sands of Passion is a new(ish) web series from the combined minds of National Banana and Crackle and Tilzy likes that it’s trying to tackle stuff you’re not going to find on TV, they’re not convinced it’s a winner:
“Sands of Passion features over-overacting and scene-punctuating close-ups (it never fails to have characters pull funny faces [...]
YouTube is currently far-and-away the leading UGC video site and it is a well-known fact that having your video featured on the front page of the site drives 1,000’s of views a video might never have received. This boost can sometimes even launch the videos creator or star to a new level of “fame” and [...]
Disney/ABC is getting into the rather crowded field of sites claiming that they will be developing and producing a sorts of short-form original content with their site Stage9 (warning: autoplays). From LATimes:
“Pedowitz said Stage 9 would make it possible to experiment with new forms of storytelling, cultivate young talent and incubate franchises that might someday [...]
Tilzy has a look at minor-internet-celeb Sarah Meyers and her new daily webshow Pop17.
“The daily, two- to three-minute show explores the cultural phenomenon that’s made Sarah’s career — micro-celebrity on the internet. “
I took a look at it myself and I’ve gotta say it is totally promising. Sort of like the kid doing the vlog [...]
Tilzy took part in a pretty interesting little experiment on Wednesday night:
“Last night, after his team suffered an intense 130 – 124 loss against the visiting Los Angeles Lakers, Nash drove home from America West Arena to his sick Scottsdale pad in whatever car $65 million over five years affords. I know because I saw [...]
Tilzy has a nice look at the Suave/Sprint co-sponsored website In The Motherhood:
“Web video, which was once relegated to merely uploading footage of Junior’s school play onto YouTube, is now a viable form of entertainment by moms, for moms. Maybe it sounds a little dippy, but, believe me In the MotherHood, which is a branded [...]
Tilzy has at the Google-hosted Videocracy event thrown by Google:
“At thee-story club/concert space Terminal 5, Google hosted Vidoecracy, a “deep-dive, Cliffs Notes, YouTube 101 education” for potential advertisers, mostly pitching them on the idea that the video-sharing site is about more than just videos. It’s a social experience that’s capable of producing stars and events [...]
Three new programs up at MyDamnChannel, all of which are reviewed (and can be previewed) on the excellent web content site, Tilzy
I won’t go into full review mode, but I was sad to see how much of it looked like weak parody instead actually trying to make something that substantially stood on its own merits. [...]
Via Tilzy, a great blog about original web video that everyone should put on their list, is a recap of what can be found at the latest, greatest, comedy web site, Independent Comedy Network.
I’m not going to bother giving my review of their current content - plenty of others have. Instead, I think it is [...]
