OTHER: --l Chum Per Hour l-- Dark Comedy Series

Here's the sponsor info....

UPDATE: 'Chum Per Hour' has a sponsor! www.avsforum.com
AVS has graciously agreed to help promote www.chumperhour.com on their website, which boasts almost 1 Million members!

We will also be working together to offer a contest that will involve giving away a free iPad to a lucky CHUM viewer during Season 1!
We launch Oct 2nd, 2011. More to come...
 
Lookin' good Mike, the million viewer promotion is amazing. so how or where will the episodes be played? will the viewers click on the banner and it directs them to your chum website?
 
Well, I don't think that number will equate to as many viewers as one would think but it will definitely help, no doubt.
I just checked the site and they average about 4800 "current active users" every time I look. When I refresh the number changes but it's always close to 5000.

Now, how many people will actually take the time to click the banner and then actually watch the episodes? Time will tell.
The banners are now up and running. They link directly to the Chum site. http://chumperhour.com/

Thanks again, Matt!
 
those numbers sound about right, but don't forget that the goal is for the viewers who do watch it, to spread it to their friends so it effectively goes viral. You might want to sell some merch on your chum site, just for the helluvit. go to cafepress.com, and throw the CHUM logo on some shirts and merch, and then set up a link from your CHUM website.
 
Thanks, guys! I really appreciate it.
Lighting that basement was fun. I had a good time. Wish I had more lights and some diffusers.
The actors nailed that scene.

Yesterday was a bright cloudless sky. Just blue sky as far as you could see, very bright sun.
Here are a few grabs from that. It was a tough shoot but I think I kept things from blowing out.

oh and we talked about this before, but you can always throw a blue hue over the footage, lower the opacity down, and give the footage a "dusk" feel.

It looks great, you exposed perfectly, you must have used reflectors?

Nothing. Stock lens, ISO at 100. Aperture was jacked through the roof! I've never had it so high.
I do have a few over exposed shots but luckily I caught them and re-shot those scenes.
The shirts were tough. White can be a *****.
 
For jpeg 7_n, you got some nice natural bounced light on the guy's face, the shadow on his face is opened up nicely and you can see nice highlights in his eyes.
Reflector or not, you blocked the scene well, looks great.

Thanks, Matt. I agree. And unless it's bouncing off Christina's forehead there is no bounce. :)
Not even a sound guy on crew that day. Just a separate tripod for the mic.

The only crew we had was Jess, the makeup person. We did have to move around a lot to try and get the best light.
There were some nice trees nearby as well giving us a little coverage but that didn't keep us out of the sun. Aperture was damn high.
 
Alright, we are about 2 shoots away from wrapping the first season! One small, one huge.
This season will be 8-9 episodes long, depending on how the edit flows. Each episode will range from 3-6 min in length.

We're premiering with a double episode launch on Oct 2nd, 2011! The other episodes will follow bi-weekly.
We will also be giving away a free IPad to one of our lucky U.S. viewers during season 1.

I agree with Matt. Your exposure is excellent. I can't believe you didn't use reflectors. That's pretty skillful!

Can't wait for Oct. 2nd! Can't believe you got something shot and released before BTTJ and I had a crew. I must really suck! LOL!

It's not perfect. I had to crank the aperture almost to the max in some shots. There are a few closeups of Christina that are a little bright.
It's not overexposed, but she stands out from the dark foliage background behind her.

LOL! At this point I've only got about 40 minutes of edited footage that will be released. Hardly 'Feature' status. :)

But yeah, get off your ass already. :evil:
