Indie Filmmakers Taking to the Web

More and more I will run into Independent Filmmakers that are taking their scripts, breaking them up into segments and turning them into web series. I think this is great but I warn against repurposing one media to another. Remember they did take radio programs and put them on TV.

That said, Frank Krueger has been playing around in web video for many years and has a new web series called The Darkness Descending launching soon. I caught up with Frank at a poolside cocktail party at Digital Hollywood in Santa Monica this week and got the scoop on what he’s trying to do.

(Side Note: I wanted to test out the iPhone 3GS video exposure so I let things get a little crazy with the sun on Frank’s face.)

  • Thanks for the info. As I said, I think the image and sound quality was good for a man-on-the-street interview like this.
  • Hey Susan,

    That was raw video and audio. I have just sent off for a plug-in mic for the iPhone 3GS. The Brando Workshop microphone. Steve Garfield of http://stevegarfield.com does a video review of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC5JrgG0q5E
  • I'm impressed with the picture quality. Were you just capturing sound with the in-phone microphone? I was impressed by the clarity.

    Do you know of any projects that have made the web to feature leap? It seems to be that web to TV is more likely (and I'm aware projects that have made that transition).
  • I hear you Dennis.

    I still think I'm going to give it a few more tries before I pack it in.
  • Tim,

    A phone is made for phone calls, not video.
    Just because you can, do not mean you should.
