Ruby Skye owns the Tweet-up!
Posted by ScottAlbert in Latest News on August 12th, 2010

Hey!
Busy, busy times for us. I haven’t had to post quite as often as I would like.
But I thought I’d jump on and mention something cool.
Our esteemed colleague Jill Golick’s web series, Ruby Skye, PI, was also funded by the IPF Webseries Pilot program – and they’re going to camera on Monday. That’s Ruby in the picture. (Stop staring at me, Ruby! What are you laughing at!?)
In the meantime, they are rushing all around town getting ready to shoot – and keep on top of their already insanely busy lives. So to make co-ordinating their production much easier, they have decided to hold their production meetings through Twitter.
A bold experiment. As a platform for direct, back-and-forth communication, Twitter presents some challenges. It is hard to keep a conversation on track – the time line of questions and replies get confused, and you could lose a tweet in the stream of updates that floods anyone’s twitter use. But it is fascinating to be able to not only sit in on their plans and discussions, but to jump in and contribute if you have something worthwhile to add.
If you want to check it out, here’s what you should do.
First of all, follow @rubyskepi on twitter. That will keep you up to date on all the goings on.
Secondly, as of press time the Production Meeting Tweet-up is scheduled to start at 4:00 EST this afternoon. Look for the hashtag #rspipdn .
And, while you’re at it, I’m @scottalbert on Twitter. Feel free to follow me too!

A Vampire Update
Posted by ChristopherGuest in Job Review with a Vampire, Latest News, Show News on July 16th, 2010
A lot of people have been asking about the series we shot in the fall called Job Review with a Vampire, which is a 6 episode comedy about a vampire navigating office politics. The show is basically done, it just needs a some audio work (sound effects and music) which we will get to as soon as was we can. We have signed on with Mean Dog Howl for the music, check out their tracks.
So when can you all see it? Well that might take some time because its first distribution window will be on broadcast, but don’t worry it will be online eventually. Stay tuned for more details.

Team Leader is Officially Launched
Posted by ScottAlbert in Latest News on June 12th, 2008
Sunday, June 8th, say a gathering of rather unique folk in the Art Bar of Toronto’s Gladstone Hotel. They were the cast, crew and friends of Team Leader – there to celebrate the newly unveiled show.
Since that moment, the Team Leader website has been online and people are loving it! Today is only Thursday, and already we have over 5000 views. As the viewership for online shows tends to grow more or less exponentially as people discover the series and tell their friends, we think that is a fantastic start!
So go ahead, sling on over to http://www.team-leader.com and get in on the fun!

Light at the End of the Team Leader Tunnel
Posted by ScottAlbert in Latest News, Show News, Team Leader on March 27th, 2008
Many, many moons ago, in the before times, there was no such thing as Gopher X. I’ll give you a second to adjust your mental fame. But what there was the idea for a multi-platform comedy series known only as Team Leader.
Scott and Christopher partnered with writer/producer Josh Budd and director/producer Chris Forest shot all 12 episodes in November of 2006. It has taken us up until now to get through the picture and sound editing. We’ll have something to show you coming soon… we’re working on a sneak peek for all of our cast, crew and loyal Gopher X fans.
You can gauge my level of excitement by the fact that as I write this I am not wearing any pants.
Up Coming Projects
Posted by ScottAlbert in Latest News on March 26th, 2008
We’re hard at work on our ’08 slate. First up, a little cartoon we like to call Robot Roommates. Mostly cause that’s what it is called. It’s about two killer robots from space, Steve-tron and Edna 6000, who have come here to enslave all the humans. But they seem to spend all their time watching TV and ducking the rent. (Sound familiar?)
Aaron Sorkin said that Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was his most autobiographical work. Well… Scott says that Robot Roommates is his. Does that mean you’re a robot, Scott?
We’re working with talented Bryce Hallet (The Red Green Show, History Bites) for the animation to this one. We’re super excited to have Bryce on board with us. We’ve been trying to work with him for awhile now, and Robot Roommates is the project that made it happen.
We hope to go into production on RR (as we call it in our lazy way) by the end of April.
