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.

Check out the full article and watch the teaser here on Tubefilter.tv

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…

Friday Update from Rob Lewis on Vimeo.

Hi everybody! I just thought I should give you some insight as to who Alexis Grenier REAAALLY is. I am above all else, a goofball. I love to laugh; it is quite possibly my favorite pastime. Probably my biggest problem during the ‘Jenn 2.0′ shoot was smiling too much. : )  I mean, who gets in trouble for that? Well, I’ll have you know that our director Cody is the same way, making quite a lovely work setting. 

I grew up with a photographer mother, an eccentric, opera singing Grandmother, and a rock n’ roll playing father. Yeah, we are generally loud and are constantly coming up with new ideas and projects to keep life interesting. I chose the opera path like “Grandma Nano” but that hasn’t taken away from my passion for singing jazz, pop, and rock n’ roll. I LOVE to dance, figure skate (I used to be able to do an axle), sail, and travel. Above all else, I am definitely not shy. My mother has been taking my picture constantly since I was born, and for the last 9 years she has been a videographer (Classic Filmworks) so I am accustomed to being, well, exploited…in a good way : )   

See, what I mean?

Amo Italia……

This question was never easier to answer once I had to get in front of the camera. I’m in a scene as ‘guy walking down the sidewalk’ and had to take direction. Cody was great, but I simply didn’t want to be there. However, the scene that I wrote called for it and we needed someone that fit the role. I took one for the team. Read More

Behind the scenes from the pilot episode

Hey everybody!  I’m Chad Hilligus and I play Dave on the show.  As an actor, the hardest part of this process is the waiting.  Waiting in anticipation to see the product of all your hard work (aka ‘the pilot’)…and waiting to see how the production team puts everything together to create a story that you, the viewers, are going to love!  That’s why this site is so great!  It gives you a chance to see what’s going on behind the scenes and what goes into bringing this show to life.  I’m stoked to be a part of it!  I really like playing Dave.  We are similar in a lot of ways…besides both of us being insanely good-looking.

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!

Press play, then maximize the show for the best experience.

It’s after midnight on the left coast, and though I know I need to go to bed there’s this midnight craving I have, it’s not for chocolate, but more of a desire to share something intimate, something real, and something only I could really add to this blog. Read More

I wanted to give you a brief rundown of our post production process and specs. Currently we are editing all of our HD 1080i 60 footage in a Final Cut Pro timeline set to 1080i 24fps. Any motion graphics will be done in Motion or After Effects depending on complexity. Andrew will be doing audio sweetening in Pro Tools and any additional music or sound will be done in Soundtrack. We shot all our footage on the Panasonic HVX200 at the fore mentioned specs except for the ‘opening sequence’ we down res’d to 720p 60 for slow motion a effect. All of our footage has been logged and duplicated to insure security. Our ‘working’ copy is being edited on our Mac workstation and the backup is stored on a 1TB Maxtor hard drive. That’s pretty much the skinny.

I was asked to give some of my views once we wrapped production and nothing out of the ordinary came to mind; however, I do remember feeling a little fortunate. After wrapping production on a project it’s natural for me to spend some time in reflection, decompression and a little self deprecation. Everything went relatively smooth as production goes; we finished on time and got everything we needed. It was stressful and exhausting; still, I couldn’t help but feel a little fortunate, fortunate to be working right now as a filmmaker in new media. This is a great time for young filmmakers; many of the past’s barriers are being torn down for us. Earlier this week I ran across a book review in the Wall Street Journal about Malcolm Gladwell’s new book Outliers. It got me thinking about what it takes to be a successful young filmmaker today in new media. I wanted to share my very limited perspective to anyone just starting out or trying to decide whether or not to make this a career. Read More
