Welcome to another frakking fantastic episode of The IndieNet and Beyond! It’s more news and web series episodes, plus… more news and episodes. Yup, I’m neck deep in pre-production work for my web series Reality On Demand, so I sadly have to make this one short.
I literally, at the time of this writing, just finished a meeting with the Director of Photography and our Key Make-up/Special Effects Make-up crew members, after exchanging a gazillion emails to line-up fight choreography training, rehearsals, visual effect test shots and locking locations for the rest of the shoot. It’s stressful, but it is the kind of work I enjoy. Indie filmmaking is a sort of joyful torture.
We’ve finally got our cast and we’ll be revealing them very soon. Both here, the Alien Jungle Bug Productions website, and everywhere else on the web that is willing to spread the word.
I also thought you might find it interesting to know that I’ve been reaching out to many of the talented web series creators out there and there will be a few Easter eggs that web series will enjoy. Plus, as we revealed on SFP-Now, some of the shows we make nods to include Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural.
So now, I will wrap things up with fun videos and some news. I have some entertaining interviews lined up, so there is plenty to look forward to soon. And remember… the Indie Internet Revolution lives on!
Going Viral!
This hilarious geek comedy video, Tonight I’m Frakking You, has been on the web for a few days and has been getting many hits. You can’t be a scifi fan and not get some laughs out of this one. It has some cool actors you’ll probably recognize from Big Bang Theory (Kanal Nayyar, aka Raj, shows some rapping skillz), Caprica (Alessandra Torressani rocking the Princess Leia outfit), and The Guild (Amy Okuda goes Ghostbusters). Plus, a few others that I won’t spoil for you. It’s got more scifi references than there be Tribbles in a Tribble swinger party (because Tribbles reproduce really fast.. and… oh, nevermind).
Elsewhere On The Web…
Speaking of music videos… you can find the extremely funny music video “Game On” on The Guild – Season 4 DVD which just hit retail stores. So get ya a copy and tell them Marx sent ya. They will be puzzled by the comment the rest of the day and wonder what you meant.
Stars making their own web series is far from a new phenomenon, but I don’t think anyone was expecting one from Vin Diesel. Variety reports Vin Diesel’s One Race Films and Fox Digital Entertainment are producing The Ropes. It’s an 18-episode web series about the lives of bouncers, based on Diesel’s own bouncing experiences.
