How Much Does It Cost to Make a Web Series: Video Game High School Edition

Have you ever wondered how much it would cost to produce your own high-quality web series that you would ride to fame and fortune on YouTube? As part of the launch of the Kickstarter fundraiser for Season Two of the popular Video Game High School web series, Freddie Wong and the team over at Rocket Jump disclosed the total cost of Season One of VGHS.

If you haven’t seen it, the first season of Video Game High School was a nine episode webseries with a total length of two hours. Yes, that’s as long as a feature film. While the cost was still a fraction of a feature film, it had as many visual effects shots as many big budget releases along with a full cast and crew.

Today, for a little bit of education about being one of the baddest guys on the interweb, we have Rocket Jump’s breakdown of the total cost of VGHS. Read the rest of this entry

Season Four of Community Will Start with THE HUNGER DEANS!

I’m a huge fan of NBC’s cult hit sitcom Community. Like many of my fellow Human Beings (that’s the name of the show’s fans), I’m a little worried about the direction of the show after NBC turfed showrunner Dan Harmon which led to a mass exodus of the show’s writing staff and producers.

Britain’s legendary wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey TV series meets the classic American time travel movie in this amazing animated mashup. The Doctor is Doc Brown, Rory is Marty and Amy is Jennifer in this cross between Doctor Who and Back to the Future. And, yes, there is a DeLorean TARDIS.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Reaches 100 Episodes

The Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series launched in 2008 with the animated movie that was generally panned by critics. That wasn’t a harbinger for things to come for the TV series itself. Star Wars: The Clone Wars is in its 5th season on the Cartoon Network in America and is expected to keep going strong. There’s a slight irony to the length of the series as Star Wars canon holds that the Clone War lasted only three years.

Anyway, to mark the milestone, Lucasfilm Animation put together a look back at the first 100 episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. (Spoiler alert, naturally.)
