Above is the link for the first two episodes in my weird little new web series, Footastic Theatre. This is a study in producing for web as opposed to producing for video and encoding down to share.
The premise is really short amusing engaging scenerios. Video crack. Watch one and you need more and you want to see them over and over. That's what I'm working toward. We are showing only the feet of the talent. Why? Web video is best with close-ups and all headshots are not that exciting to me.
It was rediculously easy to get people excited about this project. I have more writers than I can use. No one is paid but I believe my high ranking on Funny or Die with the Southern Jewish Princess teaser clip got some attention and people wanted to hop on board. And there is also some buzz about funnynnotslutty.com and that never hurts.
So here are the first two episodes, I edited the simpler ones first. We have shot two more that I'll have up this month. Am fairly happy with the video encoding, especially with the action in the "A League of thir Own" looking alright after I changed my key frame rate, ala Ahron Rabinowitz's suggestions in his Internet Killed the Video Star DVD. I need to work on the audio setting more though. Not great. I think I used the wrong audio encoder for that part.
One of these is not safe for work...The other PG. We'd love your funny votes.
I think we are going to have some fun with this...
