We have two episodes finished on our comedy Web series, filming in and around Denver. The premise is a group of frustrated "serious" filmmakers that have discovered that "T&A Sells", and this is one of those "show-within-a-show" formats. The content and dialogue is fairly racy, but we're "sanitizing" it for YouTube distribution ("blurring and bleeping", I call it).

We're filming with two DSLRs: a Canon 7D and a Canon T3i. Lenses are typically a Tamron 17-50/2.8 IS, a vintage Nikkor 50/1.4, and a Tokina 11-16/2.8. We shoot double-sound with the Tascam DR-100. Lights are mostly Lowels (a Rifa and three Omnis), with the occasional rented Arri tungsten kit.

I'm the writer, director, and often DP, too. This has, by far, been the most fun I've had in almost a decade of corporate film work... I'm not knocking that, because it pays the bills, but working on something creative and collaborative like this is a real hoot. We plan to release three episodes a month... until I run out of $ or we get some kind of venue sponsorship.

Is there an uncensored channel option somewhere... I tend to click away on material that is blurred and bleeped... I don't watch FCC regulated TV... well I don't watch the cable TV either, until it shows up on DVD/BD... for a number of reasons, one of which is the targeting of the lowest common denominator threshold of moral outrage, that is, making everything nearly acceptable to the Disney Channel performed by mouseketeers... well, perhaps not quite that... but in the general direction...

Otherwise it looked 'gameshowy' which I presume is the intent...

Terms of Service for YouTube preclude nudity used in this fashion, although I can probably get away with the language. Vimeo *might* be OK for the nudity, since it's clearly NOT pornographic, just depends upon who flags it. I presently can't afford to stream it uncensored from any of my servers, due to the bandwidth.

The premise for the series was a "Wild-On" or "Real Sex" meets a 21-st century "Friends", although we're having casting issues now, which killed much of the backstories we wrote.
