Short Form Internet Play - GOODNIGHT PRINCESS



FROM A COMMENT LEFT ON WHAT IS STORYGAS?
Hi Neil,

I've just posted the last episode of my webseries, Goodnight Princess. This Internet play explores love, loss and silly voices in three short acts. Shortform online drama is in seemingly short supply so we have tried to do something different. We have had very positive feedback.
Goodnight Princess Act 1: The Beginning of the End

An Internet Play in three acts exploring love, loss and silly voices. We would love to hear your thoughts on this short form Internet Play
Goodnight Princess Act 2: Middle Eight




Goodnight Princess Act 3: The End of the Beginning

On my YouTube account you will also find my first webseries, The Evil League of Evil Applications Processing Office, based around my interpretation of Bad Horse's administration. I also have interviews with Felicia Day and Sean Becker from The Guild.

New IRISH comedy webseries - DIRECTOR HECTOR



Via Director Hector home site:-
Hector Grimes is gonna shoot the greatest action film Drogheda has ever seen, one way or another.

DIRECTOR HECTOR follows wannabe movie director Hector Grimes’ chaotic attempts at making an action film in Drogheda town.

Using his mates as a motley cast and crew for his epic ACTION TRACTION and bolstered by extreme delusions of grandeur, what could possibly go wrong for the clamper turned director? If you want to know how NOT to make a film, this is it…

An Awesome Online Picture Editing Site even I could use... - PIXLR



I know there are HUNDREDS of online picture editors out there, but had to tart up the StoryGas banner and used this one thanks the tip from @mrjonmacqueen

http://pixlr.com

It was a dream to use - especially as I have no photoshop skills whatsoever.

Three More Places For Webseries Creators to stream live video webcasts

Few more places for web series creators to stream live video webcasts, which I'll add to the first list here...

...thanks to @anthonydelosa for the first two:

Justin.tv

Justin.tv is the easiest way to create live video and show anyone in the world what's happening right now. Using only a laptop, you can share your event, class, party or thoughts, live, to anyone in over 250 countries while they chat in real-time with you and with other viewers. Justin.tv makes it fun, easy and fast to gather and engage with a live audience.



livevideo.com



--brought up a bunch of pop up ads for online casinos which put me off...


But the one I'd most like to try next is...


twitcam.com

Twitcam posts your video description and link to Twitter for all your followers to see.

While broadcasting, chat with your viewers via Twitter right from your broadcast page.

Once you’re done going live, we archive your video and display it on the same page.




Any more suggestions for places to stream live broadcasts?

Places for webseries creators to stream LIVE VIDEO for webcasts and live web events



Web series such as lonelygirl15 and KateModern experimented with using live web events amongst the flow of their narrative.
(Some of the examples are catalogued here on the lgpedia).

EXIT Stage Left even played its entire first series finale out live.

Live webcasts can also be used for 'behind the scenes' announcements, or events such as CELEBRATETHEWEB.

They generate a 'buzz' in the community, and when it comes to being honest and authentic... you can't do something much more stomach churning... or thrilling... than playing it out live.

I think the audience can smell the genuine article - so they're a great tool for a web series.

Here are a few places which host live video streaming...

(- and let me know if you have any preferences, or other places in COMMENTS below, thanks!)


BlogTV

BlogTV is the place where you can show off your talent, build a fan base and share your opinions LIVE! Any person with a lap top or PC and a webcam is only seconds away from having their very own live broadcasts, recorded videos and television style scheduled programming!



Qik.com

Ustream.tv

Ustream is the leading live interactive broadcast platform that enables anyone with an Internet connection and a camera to engage their audience in a meaningful, immediate way. Unlike previous webcasting technology, Ustream uses a one-to-many model, which means that the user can broadcast to an audience of unlimited size. Ustream's platform has been used to broadcast everything from high school sporting events to Hollywood movie premieres, and people are finding new and innovative uses for it every day.


Here's how one web show uses Ustream for their live web TV shows.




There's also Stickam.

Tried getting some info, but my browser started giving me all kinds of security warnings. If you want to take a look, here's a great How To tutorial...
