Leesa Dean Answers Your Question, “Does size matter?”
Adventures in Digital Series Land #105
by Leesa Dean
Ah, the age-old question: Does size matter? Maybe not, according to the IAB. And yes, I’m talking about online content. Specifically, how long episodes should be. This is a REALLY important consideration when you’re putting together a digital series.
For the past few years, the going practice was to have each episode be between 2-5 minutes long. Anything longer: a death knell. And I kinda learned that the hard way.
When I started, I had absolutely no idea how long to make my episodes so each one ended up being between about 6-8 minutes. Or longer! My thinking was, it makes sense for vlogs to be shorter, but I wanted to show off my work. I was still thinking with a tv/cable mindset vs. a YouTube one.
CARGO 3120: Making the Switch
The Making of a SciFy Franchise – #22
by Aaron Walker Sr.
(EDITOR’S NOTE: The Story So Far starts HERE)
On our last blog, we talked about the alternative content we are working on for the Cargo 3120 project. While we are not abandoning the webcomic, we felt it necessary to work on website content that we can push out sooner to our readers. Like Daymond said, the goal was always to present our story to the world in whatever format that we could. Adding the short story and the audiobook allows us to give our readers an immersive experience we feel they will enjoy.
The goal is to tell the same story in three formats, giving our audience a chance to read it (short story), hear it (audiobook), and eventually, see it (webcomic). This approach also gives those who may not be comic fans a chance to enjoy the story as well. And I speak for all of Team Cargo when I say: We are excited about the future of Cargo 3120!
Leesa Dean Gives Us “This Week’s Pep Talk”
Adventures in Digital Series Land #104
by Leesa Dean
So yes, things have been intense. Struggling with this script (but inching forward). Animating the new series. Working on two new shows with my producing partner. Thinking about the script for the short. And, being gripped with anxiety (sometimes).
Why? While I love love love the creative process, when you’re smack dab in the middle of things, it’s very hard to see the big picture. You know, the “where is this leading to” big picture?
Well, the big picture involves a long journey. That happens with baby steps. Which is hard when you’re broke, trying to get heard (pick me! pick me! pick me!!) and attempting to evolve into creative dopeness. Cause the odds are usually not in your favor. And yes, usually is also a codeword for “sometimes never.” Sigh.

This show is painfully funny. Yes, that’s a compliment. A huge one. Check it out:
