The Legend of Neil: 3 Days Left, 3 Votes

from The Legend of Neil:

Hey Legend of Neil-lovers,

So I really believe we’ve got a shot at winning some Streamy Awards this year, and it would really benefit the show if we could pull it off. There’s three days left that you can vote and you can vote once each day, the official ballot is below.

Please try and make it all the way through to the craft awards. I believe that out of every web series I’ve seen, our crew does the most with very little. The sets, the art, the lighting, the music (hell we had a musical!) are really so good because of these unsung heroes of the set, so let’s finally sing them. That’s not to say that the acting, writing, directing aren’t half bad either, so feel free to vote for those too. So, please take a few minutes and make it happen for the show you love, because it’s all in YOUR HANDS!

An Open Letter to the Web Series Community

from LG15 Today:

Tomorrow January 11, 2010 is a very special day. We will see the launch of a new chapter of the story that takes place within the LG15 Universe.

We frequently hear that in the web series community anything lonelygirl15 is viewed as a relic. Perhaps, but perhaps you have just not been paying attention because it was a “fad” way back in 2006.

The reality is that the community has been through many trials and tribulations. The history is long and complicated but full of passion and creativity. At the core of the community has always been an ability to make videos and tell stories either as “companions series” within the LG15 Universe, or as fully independent series in their own universe. When The Last were given the opportunity to continue the canon story via The Show is Yours they rose to the occasion and showed those who watched that you can tell a compelling story on an extremely limited budget.

We as a community have grown up with the web series genre. We are strong proponents of the web series genre. And, we may very well be fans of your own show.

That said, tomorrow is a special day and we call on you all to lend your support to LG15: Outbreak. We have no more idea than you what the show will bring to the table so there are no guarantees. What is certain is that it deserves a first look and it certainly deserves and needs your support. And, if we are not mistaken it may well take you on a compelling ride you did not expect.

So, that said we ask everyone including Tubefilter, Newteevee, all the other web series blogs and sites, all the producers of other web series and fans of other web series to give LG15: Outbreak all the help you can muster on Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms. Let us make tomorrow a day the entire web series community came together and acted as one voice and with any luck a few of you will become hooked. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Thanks

The Word on Cinematic Titanic’s “East Meets Watts”

from Cinematic Titanic:

Happy 2010 Everyone!

We had a great time spending our New Year’s Eve with the 1200 folks at the Keswick Theatre in Philadelphia. The folks in Philly can take pride in their attention spans and butt endurance, what a great crowd for our full 3 movie marathon.

We’re also really excited about the response to our latest DVD — Cinematic Titanic LIVE: “East Meets Watts”. The feedback to our first live release has been overwhelmingly positive from fans and critics alike:

John Scott Lewinski at AOL’s TV Squad:

“While Cinematic Titanic‘s earlier DVD releases all pack more than the U.N.-mandated share of laughs, the energy provided by the comics’ interactions with the crowd make this the comic troupe’s most successful DVD release so far.”

Brian Orndorf at DVD Talk:

“The live act amplifies the Cinematic Titanic energy to new heights of bellylaughs, helping to tackle and throttle a bell-bottomed, fist-clenched cinema stinker in the most three-dimensional manner allowed.”

Bryan White at Cinema Suicide:

“What we have here is something akin to MSTie classics like The Amazing Colossal Man and Manos: The Hands of Fate. Previous CT releases have warranted laughs but not one of them has had me wiping tears from my eyes as East Meets Watts did.”

Nick Lyons at DVD Corner:

“Summary: If you have some money leftover from holiday gift buying, I can’t think of a better thing to buy than Cinematic Titanic LIVE: East Meets Watts.”

If you haven’t gotten your copy yet, you can buy the DVD HERE, at our STORE for $14.99 or download it for $9.99 at EZTakes.com and easily burn your own DVD.

Hope 2010 is a banner year for all of you.
Thanks for your support!

Cinematic Titanic
