Web series are growing in popularity with more and more people discovering them. There are some amazing shows out there, and we at KRL enjoy sharing about some of those every once in awhile. This week we are sharing Jessica's video review of the Rooster Teeth animated web series RWBY, which she posted on her YouTube channel in November of 2014!
This week I'm excited to have a review of Scriptwriting 2.0, Writing for the Digital Age, along with an interesting interview with one of the book's writers, Yuri Baranovsky (who is one of the creators of my favorite web series Leap Year). A link to purchase the book can be found at the end of this post--a portion of those sales goes to help support KRL.
Fans of the Morganville Vampires books by Rachel Caine will be thrilled to know that the first book, Glass Houses, has been turned into a web series that went up this week! And to top it off Amber Benson of Buffy fame is among the cast! KRL took a moment to chat with Rachel about the web series this week as it was going up on Geek and Sundry.
Our Halloween issue seemed the perfect time to talk about an interesting web series called Horror Hotel. Recently we interviewed the show's producer Debbie Hess about this interesting series, and you can even check out an episode of the series at the end of this post!
Jane Austen is one of the most famous novelists who ever lived. Her books have romance and drama and teach us a little lesson along the way, especially in her novel Emma. Emma is a stubborn woman who is always meddling in other people’s lives by playing matchmaker. She is so busy worrying about how her friends feel that she never stops to realize her own feelings. She hurts people a long the way by being quick to judge and by going a little too far in the meddling. She learns her lesson but it takes some time.
This Sunday is the fourth annual Streamy Awards for online video. KRL has previously reviewed some of the web series nominated this year and we are reposting here our reviews of those nominated series: Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Chosen, and Bravest Warriors. A review of Emma Approved, also nominated, will be up this Saturday morning!
With the Streamys coming up soon (online video's version of the Emmy Awards), a lot of people are thinking about web series right now, something we at KRL have been keeping an eye on and reporting about for a while. Web series come in all different shapes and sizes, with all different kinds of budgets and target audiences. This week we are reviewing a new web series that premiered in July, and this one is just plain fun--Axis of Action.
When Ian Mitchell gets a wood box on his doorstep containing a photograph and a gun, he’s drawn into a game of, quite literally, life and death in the Crackle web series, Chosen.
After I reviewed the web series Leap Year, I was contacted by Kelsey Rauber, one of the creators of the web series Kelsey. She asked if I'd consider reviewing their show. Always on the lookout for another good web series, I headed over to check it out.
With the rising popularity of Adventure Time, cartoons have become mainstream among the people they were popular with 20-something years ago. Since those people are “all grown up,” it’s become necessary to cater them toward adults and that is exactly what Pendleton Ward, the creator of Adventure Time seeks to do with his newest and quite popular, series: The Bravest Warriors.
