Leesa Dean: Adventures of a Web Series Newbie – Chapter 15


Adventures of a Web Series Newbie - Chapter 15: History, Pt. 2

History
by Leesa Dean 

Before I continue, I wanted to address the Clay thing. For those that don’t know, I released a brand new Chilltown episode, Clay Aiken, Weed Genie?!? and I’m really excited about it! Been getting great feedback. If you haven’t seen it, you can watch it here.

But there’s a little side story. Before I launched, I put together a few teasers and one of them was a clip from the Clay Aiken, Weed Genie show that ran about 4 seconds. I put it up on Reddit and next thing I knew, a bunch of “Claymates” were pissed. One of them claimed Clay didn’t “talk that way” and another claimed he didn’t “look like that.” I wrote back, saying, uh, this is supposed to be a parody, but they, apparently, were gravely disturbed. I actually didn’t even think I reamed him too hard. Yeah, his voice is over the top, but…IT’S A COMEDY! read article

Adventures of a Web Series Newbie - Chapter 12: Busy!Busy
by Leesa Dean

Another really exciting week. Working simultaneously on four different shows (will be able to write more about some of them soon) plus continuing with Chilltown and theLele show. Thought I was busy before, but man….Sometimes I feel so stretched out I don’t know how I’m gonna come up with new ideas, but luckily, I haven’t had writer’s block.  Yet. I know a few people going through it right now and it ain’t pretty!  So some odds and ends:

First, HNS Mag, which caters to up-and-coming hip-hop artists, loves both Chilltown and Lele’s Ratchet Advice Show. They did article about the shows, thought it would be a cool idea to have Lele pose, pin-up style and asked if I’d be into putting something together. I’m very protective about my brand and didn’t want to do something that was really salacious–Lele’s just not that type of girl. I mean, literally. Her character would never pose naked in Playboy or do something really vulgar. The premise of her show is to make fun of stuff like that.

Ended up doing a draft of her posing a la Marilyn Monroe, wearing a halter top and cut-offs. They loved it! And they’re putting it on the COVER (will post when it’s out!!) Needless to say, very excited about it. They have a fair-sized circulation and I’m hoping it brings more brand awareness. read article
