About the Book:
Want to make your own web series but don't know where to start?
A first of its kind, Create
Your Own TV Series for the Internet is all-in-one guide to
creating short-form TV series for the Internet.
What if you have an idea for a TV show? How do you start creating it? The reasons to create a television series or web series for the Internet are nearly as
varied as the Internet itself. But the reasons are all linked, in a
sense, by one word: opportunity. Creative opportunity, financial
opportunity, career opportunity, exposure opportunity, and the
opportunity to improve your craft can all be yours if you create a
great TV Series for the Internet. You may even land the very opportunity you've been
seeking by churning out those full-length scripts – the chance to
have your work discovered and seen on TV or in a theater. Mainstream
Hollywood now combs the Internet each and every day looking not only for
talent, but for material they can purchase and adapt into longer
form.
For those skeptics who are still saying No way can a bunch of
little two-minute video skits become a fully realized work like an
acclaimed television series… well, I have two words for you: The
Simpsons. That's right, the most successful scripted series in the
history of television started life as a bunch of animated shorts that aired between live action sketches on The Tracy Ullman
Show on Fox. In the 1980s and 1990s, creative execs frequented
comedy clubs looking for original voices and characters upon which
they could base a new TV series. Today those execs look for those
fresh voices on the Internet.
So join the party. Join the 21st century. And let the
opportunities begin. Entertaining and informative at the same time,
Create Your Own TV Series for the Internet is one of a number
of resources Ross Brown developed for his college courses on
Byte-Sized Television. This book guides you from an initial
series idea, through writing, production, and uploading and marketing
a polished pilot (and successive episodes) of an original TV Series for the Internet. This is the second edition and has several new chapters and updated information from the first edition.
