<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
If you didn't know, Amber has officially attached herself to play Amelie (the founder of Morganville) in an adaptation of <i>The Morganville Vampires</i> book series into a web series called <i>Morganville: The Series</i>. This show is being produced by one of the creators of PINK.<br />
<br />
But before they celebrate too much, the Kickstarter campaign has to fund first. <b>Today they crossed the $25k mark towards the goal of $75k... so they're 1/3rd of the way.</b><br />
<br />
Here is some <a href="http://www.hypable.com/2013/06/17/amber-benson-morganville-vampires-kickstarter/" target="_blank">nice coverage of Amber's involvement in the campaign</a>.<br />
<br />
And here is the <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2059515068/morganville-the-web-tv-series" target="_blank">link to the actual Kicstarter campaign page</a>.<br />
<br />
They've got some really interesting rewards too. For only $40 you can get a digital copy of the script, exclusive postcard artwork and an HD download of Season 1. Or for those with deeper pockets, the $500 level you get all of the above plus a complete set of all 15 <i>Morganville</i> books autographed by Rachel Caine the author, along with a DVD, a poster and... well, it's a lot.<br />
<br />
So please help if you can! A tweet or FB post is almost as good as becoming a financial backer. Almost. :)<br />
<br />

From the creator of PINK...<br />
<br />
You've probably heard of <b>Kickstarter </b>because of the <i>Veronica Mars</i> or Zach Braff movies that raised millions of dollars recently to fund their projects. Well, I'm involved in one now too. But we're not Hollywood millionaires looking for handouts. We're indie filmmakers looking for handouts.<br />
<br />
In all seriousness, Kickstarter is a great way to crowd-fund all kinds of projects.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br />
I am fortunate to be working with the international best-selling author <b><a href="http://rachelcaine.com/welcome/" target="_blank">Rachel Caine</a></b> in bringing her book series <b>THE MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES</b> to life as an online TV series.... and we could use your help.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Here's the link to our Kickstarter campaign</span>:</div>
<div class="p3">

<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We're attempting to raise $75,000 to fund the essential expenses of shooting one season (six episodes, approx. 45-60 mins of content). That primarily being cast/crew, equipment rental, post-production, visual FX, music and of course the rewards (incentives) for contributing. Speaking of these, there are some really unique ones that involve sock puppets and ponies (not really, but maybe). </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Here's the campaign video (also on the Kickstarter page):<br />

<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
So please check this project out and help if you can. Even a Facebook share or tweet is a big help. Although money helps a lot more.</div>

<br />
Very excited about this and thier <a href="http://iawtvawards.org/2013-nominations" target="_blank">7 IAWTV Award nominations</a> too. What a great way to start off 2013... The IAWTV Awards are on <b>January 8th in Las Vegas</b> and the <b>Streamy Awards are in Hollywood on February 17th.</b><br />
<br />
One really cool trend at the Streamy Award was there are LOTS of sci-fi shows being recognized.... <i>Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn</i>, <i>Drone</i>, <i>H+, Cybergeddon</i> and of course <i>Continuum</i>. :) Great company to be in, especially because <i>Continuum</i> is an ultra low budget show. These other series are multi-million dollar productions. The rumor is Halo was $10 million to produce!!<br />

There he talks a lot about <i>Pink</i> - its early days, the main run of the show... and it's future (yes, there might be a future!). :) <br />
<br />
The interview also focusing on his latest web series <a href="http://www.watchcontinuum.com/" target="_blank"><i>Continuum</i></a>, a sci-fi thriller that stars one of the leads from <i>Pink</i> - Brad Hawkins (he played adult Nate's beau "Dante" in Seasons 2 and 3). As Blake put it, "we talk about web series, assassins and sci-fi".... and we think you'll like it. <br />

This is a new online indie TV network... think Netflix meets HBO for independent web series. </span>It's a subscription-based site that is only $3.99/mo. or $39.99/year. And the content creators get 50% of the revenues, so it's very filmmaker friendly.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Currently there are 4 episodes of <i>Continuum</i> on the site, with new episodes rolling out each Tuesday. And, there are also a dozen or so other series on there that you'll have full access to - on your computer, phone, tablet and coming soon Roku box for your TV.</span><br />

We all like the show and know of its success, but it's a one-of-a-kind for sure and very unlikely to be repeated very often, if at all. Nonetheless, a good read...
<br />
<br />From the article...
<br />
<br /><span style="font-style:italic;">We have discussed a number of successful web series and what the creators of those series have done to increase awareness, and hopefully viewers. Sometimes, unfortunately, just being good isn’t sufficient. A quality show needs not only to connect, but it needs to have a life of its own outside of its episodes, something people talk about, feel connected to. Something in which viewers are active participants.</span>

However, if you're going for a "Freemium" or even a Pay-per-view (or VOD) then exclusivity is obviously the way to go. Or of course if you land a show sponsor, then likely one site or one portal would be used (unless it was product placement and then they might want the show to be available everywhere).<br /><br />For the record, most of our views have come from YouTube, Hulu and MetacafeBlake Calhounhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02210096847105001625noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704374536879194038.post-67730774208256342782011-01-04T16:33:00.002-06:002011-01-04T16:37:35.893-06:00Happy New Year!Hope everyone had a great holiday and is ready for some great web television this year.
