The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Erik Urtz: "The Classic Alice and its heavy social media integration are a great example of what storytelling in the twenty first century just might become."

Micah Van Hove: "It's rare to find a comedy series that has enough realism to keep you engaged with the characters and enough farce to keep you laughing. Enter High Maintenance -- the first-ever Vimeo Original web series."

"Look how Transparent, House of Cards, and Orange is the New Black are being critically lauded and scooping up all kinds of major awards. And rightfully so. It's just a sign of what's happening and what's to come. Vimeo, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu -- those guys -- they're going to continue to function as studios for people making digital content and then there will be all the people making stuff independently. It's going to keep increasing exponentially I think, as people become more and more comfortable viewing content online and as more and more people discover they don't have to wait for a TV executive to give them permission to make a show."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Michael Anderson: "Over the summer, the creators of the Emmy Award-winning web series The Lizzie Bennet Diaries launched an experimental follow-up project based on an unfinished Jane Austen novel. In Welcome to Sanditon, audience members were invited to assume roles as Sanditon residents while a modernized interpretation of Austen’s final work unfolded as a web series."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Jessica Klein: "What do the words “indie web series” mean to you? You probably think small budget, few actors, and amateurs behind the scenes. With these assumptions, it might surprise you that some of the most unique, polished, talent-filled, and ultimately successful series on the web were created independently. Starting with little cash and virtually no built-in fan base, how did these indie series do it?"

Overall, people watch independent web series like Pretty, Brothers, and Be Here Nowish because, simply put, they’re good. Their success lies in the creators having a solid product from the beginning… but not nearly the kind of “solid,” ratings-guaranteed product that TV networks will sink their money into. Rather, independent web series need to target independent people. These ones all expertly navigated the line between wide appeal and niche audiences, gaining enthusiastic viewers and reviewers. If you want to do the same with your indie series, what you need is first some cash, then a solid pilot episode, an attractive web page, a social media presence, and a crowdfunding link. From there, people will tell you whether you’re good enough to grow or not.

If television is the brash younger sibling of cinema, then online web series are its screaming newborn grandchildren. As it's a medium still very much in its infancy, a whole host of questions remain unanswered. How long should an episode be? How do you keep fickle viewers coming back for more? Will they ever make any money? Until those answers are found, online filmmakers will continue to explore the possibilities of the nascent form, occasionally with wonderful results. Here are the best examples from 2013. Click to see more.

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Kirsty Stark (Producer), Ella Macintyre (PMD) and Victoria Cocks (Writer/Director): "One of the first questions we’re asked when people hear about Wastelander Panda is “How did you come up with the idea?” It’s a strange concept – the meshing of two ideas that don’t necessarily fit – but this seemingly incongruous pairing is one reason we believe the project has had so much attention so far" ... A great article about a great project!

Victoria wanted to try to translate the experience of her favourite video games to film – where players don’t just have one pathway to follow, but can go out and explore a vast world. She came up with the idea of a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The idea of the protagonist being a panda started as a rhyming joke – Wastelander Panda! – and became more serious over time

Een audiotour, maar niet in een museum, of op straat, maar op je ipad. Door het web. Waar kunstenaars moordenaars zijn en filosofen gokkers, terwijl de onderwereld bevolkt wordt door quantumtheoretici. Confused? You will be. |
Classic transmedia Alice
This is an interesting use of social media, though I would not regard its participatory aspect as any kind of immersion.
