This is my third year as an attendee, and second as a competitor in the pilot competition (<i><a href="http://escapepodfilms.com/manman/">Man-Man</a></i> in 2009, and for this year, <i><a href="http://octanepistols.com/">Octane Pistols of Fury</a></i>).</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">First, I very much appreciate the AV Club's coverage of the festival and their efforts to see and review all the pilots. </span></b>As a first time attendee, Todd VanDerWerff offers several suggestions to improve the festival.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">"<b>1.) Don't schedule the event during premiere week</b>." </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I think the point of this is that many industry people are in town and can easily come by for a premiere or panel. And as a pilot maker, it's more about meeting these people than getting covered by journalists.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“<b>2.) Focus on the pilots.</b>“ </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Agreed, I would love to have my pilot shown more! I imagine there are logistical problems with more screenings, or more spread out screenings as you suggest. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“<b>3.) Don't accept pilots that are obviously just reheated Web material.</b>“ </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Obviously, as a web series producer, I wholeheartedly disagree. Web series are a huge part of the festival (there's even an award for the best one). Digital Day is an entire day of panels devoted to new media. We had several meeting with industry people who were primarily interested in the format.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>“but there needs to be some sense that this is a TELEVISION festival and not a Web series festival “</b></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I guess this is a semantic problem, but the fact is that the festival accepts old and new media formats. This will not change. Industry people are not anti-web series and that's what counts.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“<b>4.) Make the minimum length 11 minutes and the maximum length 60.</b> “ </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Mr. VanDerWerff tries to bump off web series by altering the length requirement. <i>Man-Man</i>, our pilot in the 2009 competition, was only 4 minutes long. While it was only a taste of the show, it lead to development meetings.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">As for the maximum length, I'm not sure. I suppose it's possible someone's out there self producing an hour long procedural. From what I've heard at the festival chats and panels, the development folks prefer watching shorter material.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>“5.) Offer press screenings or screeners for anyone who's willing to come to New York.</b> “</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Sounds good to me!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>“6.) Move to Los Angeles.”</b></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b>“I'm actually only really half suggesting this one, since I'm sure if NYTVF takes off, L.A. will immediately copy it. “</b></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-weight: normal;">Los Angeles already has the <a href="http://itvfest.org/">Independent Television Festival (ITVFest)</a>, which is in its fifth year.</span></b></div>Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01745989201626016051noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457009365575357702.post-82821582989574421582010-09-27T11:26:00.000-04:002010-09-27T11:26:55.347-04:00Fake Ad RoundupFake ads from the past few weeks!

(More like "Stryker-Nuts"! Haha.) [<span style="font-style: italic;">I'm so sorry. That was really offensive to our astronaut fans.</span>]<br /><br />Here's some behind the scenes pics from our Hallmark Hall of Fame sponsored episode of "The Stryker Files Episode 3: Drugs". It was kind of a grind to shoot and it felt like we were making an episode of Scissor Cop with all the different locations and actors. In the end, though, it was very rewarding to put it all together. And it serves as a nice setup for the exciting Strykerness yet to come! PICTURE-TIME GO!!<br /><br />Our pals and Channel 101 cohorts Dan McCoy and Matt Koff, from the hilarious <a href="http://9ammeeting.com/">9AM Meeting</a>, helped us out by playing brothers in the episode. Matt played the troubled "James" and nothing says "troubled" more than a tank-top. (By the way, I'm not sure why he's staring at Jeremy with such intense hatred in this first picture. Might just be the usual effect Jer has on people. Just look at Jer's face - it's so deliciously hate-able!)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_znXH5FR__B8/S4axuuCCjJI/AAAAAAAABPI/3CCWh2Uvdj0/s1600-h/IMG_4799.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_znXH5FR__B8/S4axuuCCjJI/AAAAAAAABPI/3CCWh2Uvdj0/s320/IMG_4799.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442232615912508562" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_znXH5FR__B8/S4axu6IvzTI/AAAAAAAABPQ/izEQsST3lVw/s1600-h/IMG_4802.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_znXH5FR__B8/S4axu6IvzTI/AAAAAAAABPQ/izEQsST3lVw/s320/IMG_4802.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442232619161865522" border="0" /></a><br />Rick Murphy played "Murphy the Pimp" and was nice enough to let us continue the trend of killing him in our shows (<span style="font-style: italic;">ed. note: See Scissor Cop 5</span>).

(Look at my awesome DVD collection in the background! Folks, it's very impressive.) Paula Torres, Kim Huston, and Brad Jackson played Druggie extras. We used my favorite production tools: smoke machine and strobe light (previously used in the <a href="http://escapepodfilms.com/video.asp?videoid=450&title=first-day">First Day</a> sketch).<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_znXH5FR__B8/S4azFfyTxTI/AAAAAAAABQY/Kiap5YfXT_A/s1600-h/IMG_4841.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_znXH5FR__B8/S4azFfyTxTI/AAAAAAAABQY/Kiap5YfXT_A/s320/IMG_4841.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442234106737050930" border="0" /></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span>Here I am enjoying a "smokable pita" - an illegal new snack trend currently sweeping our nation's schools.
