Ever wanted to find out what it takes to write, cast, shoot, edit, and distribute a web series?
Well so did we, so we've decided to do it. Follow along with us as we create the pilot episode
for Jenn2.0, a show about a young social media consultant attempting to build her brand and
define herself in the ultimate connectivity of the Web 2.0 world.
That’s right, we’ve been movin’ and shakin’. After all, you can’t win anything if you don’t show up! So all of us behind Jenn2.0 have been doing our best to make connections with our industry peers, talk to sponsors, and set up deals to distribute the show.
Recently we all attended the Tubefilter Hollywood WebTV Meetup at ManiaTV Studios and had a blast. It was probably one of the best times we’ve all had together (aside from that one time with the wine at the table read) and resulted in some new opportunities that we hope to be sharing with you soon.
Check out the Meetup Mashup from KoldCast.TV. You’ll hear Leslie Cardé mention us in the piece. That’s right, we did an interview with her and it’s coming soon! Oh, and you’ve gotta love KoldCast HD. Check this out full screen… wow!
Well, we’ve gotten some good feedback about our teaser and the little taste of the show it includes. Most people are anxious to see the pilot episode, while a couple of people seemed to be confused by things that may not have been apparent in the teaser reel. It’s all good and all part of the fun of promoting a show.
So here’s the direct embed of the video if you missed it on Tubefilter.tv. I highly recommend watching it full screen. If it isn’t playing in HD, just click the Vimeo link and watch it in HD there. Enjoy.
Tubefilter.tv is running an exclusive sneak peek of our new show including interviews with members of the cast.
Tubefilter got our hands on an exclusive sneak peek of the highly anticipated trailer for Jenn2.0, the meta-biographical scripted web series about real-life San Diego blogger and social media consultant Jennifer Van Grove.
We know you want to see what we’ve got and we’re working hard on it. It almost seems like now is the toughest part. But, really it’s all fun. Here’s my thoughts…
Hi everyone. Josh, Kevin, Cody and I had a little discussion about some of the processes in post production last night here in the office. I hope everyone can maybe learn a little something from it!
Today was the last day of principal photography. We shot more today than Saturday and Sunday, yet for some reason, today had a better pace. We weren’t completely scrambling for time, our actors hit their marks perfectly and quickly, and we had tremendous support from a large group of San Diego locals as extras. My thanks goes out to them all.
We had a great run for the three days of shooting, but the show is still long from over. We still have editing, color corrections, and almost most importantly, sound and music design. While shooting over the past few days has been a blast, the real fun begins now, with piecing together the story Darren and Rob conjured so long ago. Its been a good run so far, and we hope to keep you all posted as the show progresses over the next couple weeks. See you guys soon!
Well I might as well follow up with another post for today’s shoot. We started again at 5:00am (originally scheduled for 9am…) and made our way downtown and for the first few hours followed Alexis around the city. Got some good shots as the sun peaked over the tops of buildings. Our Producer Josh tried being sneaky and taped some homeless people while “reviewing clips.” I think the homeless people caught on.
We continued with our day by shooting one of our most important scenes, the Office Elevator between 9-12. The crazy thing about the elevator is that we couldn’t find one to save our lives when we went location scouting and even teased the notion of making one from scratch. Alas, the downtown SD club/bar Stingaree was gracious enough to let us use their elevator for three hours while they thoroughly cleaned the aftermath of a typical Saturday night. It was a tough morning and only got harder after lunch.
We had the lounge, Minus 1, secured for four hours to shoot some of our “Tweetup” scenes. It took us three just to set up. We needed movement from our Steadicam, action from only a handful of extras, and lighting in a room with low ceilings. It was hectic and we fell behind a bit, but we got the shots we needed the most and are saving the rest for Tuesday. Things got so tight with extras alone that we had to recycle a couple and we have some cameos from our trusty production crew. When the pilot airs, keep a lookout for Darren, our writer, Rob, the Exec. Producer and his wife Stephanie, and the inspiration behind the show, Jennifer Van Grove herself. Our makeup artist Acasia was behind the bar handing out drinks (of the non-alcoholic variety) and I even made my way into a shot.
All in all I’m proud of what we accomplished today, although everybody was expecting more. We got some really good stuff and we’re all excited to take a day off from shooting. Tuesday we’re all coming back together to finish off all of our remaining scenes and then we’re off to the cutting room (by room I mean a computer with editing software.) Stick around for more updates from all of us here working on this project!
We’ve made some good progress towards our shoot in about a week. I am, therefore, only stressed out instead of the previous freaking out. He’s the video update:
As you’ve seen, we are using 12seconds.tv to have some fun and communicate some of the things we are up to. So below you’ll find a quick hello from the fabulous team at NAS. You’ll find more of our 12seconds videos in the sidebar and on 12seconds.tv here.
