Dr.Nasty’s Web Series Project

January 26th, 2011
Comments

Video creator Zach Oldenburg has posted a Spidvid project about an animated web series (Dr.Nasty’s) which he wants to create, but he needs your help. Zach is totally “hell bent” about producing the next Family Guy mega-hit, and so we love how he’s aiming really high for this one!

Below are the details for the Dr.Nasty web series project. If you want to join Zach’s production team, then either contact him directly, or bid on his project right away to collaborate with him. To bid you will need a Spidvid account.

Talent needed: 7 Actors, 1 Animation Artist, 3 Directors, 1 Music Artist, 1 Story Teller/Narrator, 2 Writers
Ideas for video: A retired super villian gets back to basics by moving in with his recently divorced sister and her twin sons. The new man of the house finds himself each episode finding a way to better himself and those around him, all while keeping his super villian attitude. Think “Whose the Boss” meets Dr. Evil meets “Family Guy”.
Basic storyline: Dr. Nasty is 48-years old, out of shape, and out of work, which isn’t hard when you’re job is being a super villian. With no super heros left in town, Dr. Nasty decides to retire and move in with his newly-divorced sister and her twin boys. Regular episodes find Dr. Nasty getting back to reality by getting in shape with a new personal trainer, experiencing internet porn for the first time, and building a steel-enforced prison treehouse for the twins.
Current status : Have a great idea
Skills/Resources needed: I am a zero budget filmmaker, so I mainly need some dedicated filmmakers who don’t mind coming together in an internet show. If we can make money off this then excellent, if not, then we’ll be doing it solely to make people laugh. I need a handful of people who have always felt their voice belonged on radio or cartoons. I like to direct, but it doesn’t mean I’d direct every episode, so if you’re interested in directing, let me know. I also need a basic flash animator. This cartoon would be simple and cheaply made, then scored properly after. Episode writers also needed, once we get the wheels rolling. For the love of the game, join this project. We’ll be a working, breathing, machine hell bent on producing the next Family Guy, one building block at a time.
Experience needed: 1 Year
Bidding opens: January 23, 2011
Bidding closes: February 13, 2011
Additional information: I edit, direct, star in, and promote all the shorts for http://runhomestudios.com, so if you need any examples of the humor I write, check there. Let’s have some fun, guys!

Want To Join My Production Team?

January 25th, 2011
Comments

I posted a Spidvid project last month named “Blog Hacked” with an outline for a story about a startup entrepreneur who can’t get any coverage across the blogosphere. Frustrated, he hires a hacker to hack into a popular blog so he can post his own story through their publishing platform. Hijacking a blogger’s control panel if you will. The post goes live to millions of people, but how is this unprecedented event going to unfold and be received?!

Dennis Moore has already written a fantastic 6 page script for the project that will ultimately become a 5 minute video thriller. He has been fantastic to collaborate with over the past few weeks. He has 32 years in the screenwriting industry, and really knows how to tell an interesting story that people can relate to.

At this point I’m unsure where to film the entertaining video. It could be Toronto, Salt Lake City, Seattle, LA, NYC, or somewhere else. If you want to join my team as an actor, director, videographer, or editor then please bid on the project, or contact me.

Looking forward to wrapping up this fun project next month or in March. If you want to be part of this project opportunity then please let me know the unique value you can provide to it.

Cheers to collaborative filmmaking!
