Above: Since today’s my four year anniversary, I figured I’d better cut together a frakking video! Here are the long awaited self-portrait outtakes from May-October 2009
Four years ago today, Rudy and I launched the first episode of Kitkast. Though Rudy had made some web videos (video blogs, vlogs, video podcasts, umm… vodcasts?) before, this was the first time we launched a web series… a serialized show. We’ve devoted countless hours to our passion ever since, and I thank every single person whose clicked play, commented on, and shared our videos with their friends.
So what am I doing today to commemorate the occasion? Acting in another web series, of course! I’m up in Vancouver right now, and I can’t say anything much, but it’s going to be EPIC… and reminiscent of Galacticast in some respect. I’ll give you the details when they’re public.
Year five promises to be even better. More guest spots, collaborations, and new content! Thanks for all your support… you make the late nights worthwhile.
Speaking of late nights… this week’s A Comicbook Orange video gave me a late night a couple of nights ago. Enjoy!
For over two years I’ve been advocating the need for a web series category on IMDb. At SXSW this year, I was given hope when IMDb founder Col Needham announced their plan to roll out tags for both web series and individual web videos in the second or third quarter of this year. Well, the third quarter ended a week ago, and I still don’t see either tags on the title submission page.
How much longer do we need to wait? How much longer must we submit our web series as “TV Series” or (straight to DVD) “Video” titles?
I sent Needham an email the other day asking for an update, and just sent an email through the IMDb contact page last night. If you’re a producer with the same concerns, I suggest trying to touch base with them through your own networking channels. Let’s get this pushed through!!!
I launched the first episode of season 4 of A Comicbook Orange last week and what a week! We have a new segment called “Pop Reviews” with 3 brief reviews that come after the featured in-depth review. We had a lot of feedback last season from fans who were sad that the show went from having three reviews to just one, so this was our way of buffing up the show without killing ourselves with all the added work (it’s still a lot of work to do for free… but we just want to make a good quality show). So far the fans are liking the segment
We were featured on YouTube this week (thanks, Mark!) and later got an invitation to join the partner program… w00t! We already have a partnered channel on YouTube for Galacticast, so it’ll be a nice wee bonus to get a second check. Onward and upward!
Aside from that, we’re wheeling and dealing on the back end… I sometimes wonder if I’ll see the sun again. Someday…
I was interviewed by the lovely Amber Mac on her new show Girls Go Geek. The episode originally aired on XBox 360 in the US and is finally available on the web for all the non XBox users/non-Americans.
It’s a great interview, but I wince every time I hear myself say “Jennie 2.0″ since it’s actually “Jennie 2.5″! Oops…
