Having known quite a few Southern women in my time, I found myself attracted to this series as soon as I read the title. And guess what? It turned out to be amazingly well done. Very well written. Very well acted. Well shot.
In other words, no shit here, amigos.
Lately, we’ve been inundated with requests for more tricks of the trade. And since the way see it is that writing is only part of the trade of TV, film, and, yes, web production, and stars are a big deal everywhere, finding this article a couple of days ago is perfect timing:
by Johnathan PaulFirst, before we get started, let’s make sure everyone knows exactly what SAG is. If this word isn’t new to you, then know that it stands for the Screen Actors Guild. This is the official labor union for working professional actors. Much like the Directors Guild of America (DGA) or the Producers Guild of America (PGA), SAG offers its members collective bargaining services such as compensation, benefits, and working condition stipulations.
Whenever I’m directing a film, whether it’s fictional or a documentary with reenactments, I meet with actors to play roles for the parts I need. For the longest time, I never worked with SAG actors. I would instead try to find my talent from a pool of stage actors. And let me say, some of the stage talent I’ve worked with over the years are incredibly skilled at their craft — sometimes more so than the “professionals”.

Comedy High Productions, creators of TVWriter™ web series fave BECOMING RICARDO, brings you a series of stories, poems and songs, featuring a wildly talented and diverse group of actors, writers and comedians in an intimate setting talking about how the SHLONG affects their lives. There is nothing else like this on the web! With each episode under 2 minutes, you’re not going to want to miss this!
With the success of previous web series, Becoming Ricardo, (named one of the 5 webseries to watch by Fusion & ABC networks) and viral success of sketch, “Latino Stereotypes for Dummies”, we know our upcoming web series will be just as successful breaking barriers for women, sex, and comedy.
What we used to call “peer production,” the creation of online video by non-pros and fans, just keeps getting better and better. This particular “found footage” artistry is going to be very hard to beat:
Adventures in Digital Series Land #108Things kinda ground to a halt this past week and I was stumped by the new voiceovers I’m doing for the mini-series I’m putting together.
I had already pre-corded the episodes (35 for starters) and once I started lip-syncing, something just wasn’t working. I suspected it was the voiceover but really liked the tone I had used. But once it was coupled with animation, it lost the funny factor. Which is a big problem for me.
So I called my production partner (who’s not involved with this particular project) because he tends to have that great type of objectivity and confirmed my worst fears: the voiceover had to go. He made some broad suggestions. After experimenting for a number of days, I finally locked in the new one and am LOVING it. And, it’s funny. Either that, or I’ve become delusional after all this work.
