If the future is online, come along to the next Framed lunchtime Industry seminar on Thursday February 4, 12.30 – 2.00pm at Open Channel (Shed 4, North Wharf Rd, Docklands) and meet two young film/TV makers who have made it part of the present.
Nicholas Carlton (online web series Oz Girl) and Lucas Crandles (short film Black Button and animated series Wentworth & Buxbury) have made the internet the principal outlet for their material with stunning results. OzGirl was launched in Feb, 2009 using a social netoworking web model for distribution and generated 23 web-based episodes (or webisodes) drawing an audience of 20,000 per episode. Crandles is part of the creative team behind Dark Heart Productions, whose 7-minute short Black Button has generated 1.5 million hits on YouTube and garnered a YouTube Partnership – which allows Dark Heart to receive income from views of their content.
