Last week, Dave Beeler and Tom Konkle, the creators and stars of Safety Geeks: Svi debuted the new and improved 3D version of the series' first season. For those unfamiliar with Safety Geeks, it's an award winning and Streamy nominated web series, which follows the exploits of a team of crack "safety" experts who protect the world, and parts of Canada, from safety-related accidents. Sometimes billed as a live-action cartoon, the series embraces the absurd with zany antics and colorful characters. The new 3D version expands upon the cartoonish nature of the series while enhancing the viewers experience through the use of cutting edge technology. Unlike the outdated anaglyph method, the old red and cyan blurry image, Svi utilizes the same stereoscopic polarized layer method familiar to modern moviegoers. A Little Bit About 3D Formats Currently, there are two competing formats for delivering state of the art, 3D home entertainment.

During last night's Oscar telecast, trailers for a branded reality-based web series following Rocco Dispirito, Marisa Tomei, and Dan Cortese as they travel through Italy exploring the unique passions of Italian cuisine were nestled between the iPad and Coca-Cola adverts (one of which featured Safety Geeks: Svi's Tom Konkle). In addition to Dr. Horrible himself opening the show and the Lxd teaming up with Debbie Allen for the Best Score performance piece, the web space was fairly well represented. Sponsored by Italian food product company Bertolli and made specifically to help promote their new line of Italian frozen dinners, Into the Heart of Italy marks the company's largest marketing investment ever according to an interview with Gaston Vaneri, a marketing director who oversees Unilever’s U.S. frozen foods business (Unilever owns Bertolli). Being described as "Amazing Race meets Top Chef", the show seeks to promote its product by...

The nominees for the 2010 Streamys were announced today. The Streamys celebrate online television programming and this year they have a fantastic line up of nominees. Last year was the Streamys debut year and the winners included high profile shows such as Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog and the exceptional Battlestar Galactica web series The Face of the Enemy.
This year there is even more competition with some really interesting content now being released on the web rather than through more traditional media routes. Two of my favourites from this year’s nominee list are the excellent Interview Project which is presented by davidlynch.com and the slightly flawed but thoroughly enjoyable Angel of Death, created by Ed Brubaker and starring Zoe Bell, which also received a DVD release last year.
The awards ceremony takes place on April 11th 2010 and the full list of nominees is listed below with handy links...

YouTube planning a live streaming push? In a recent interview with YouTube's Hunter Walk, he confidently hinted that "There is really no particular technology challenge to us delivering any type of video.” Speculation is still abound as to whether they'll tee off against (or just buy one of) the upstart live portals like UStream, Justin.tv, Livestream or Stickam. [NewTeeVee] Web Series Pin-Up Calendar? Sure, why not. If you've got it flaunt it. Indie comedy series Safety Geeks: Svi launched their very own cal with cast member and former Playboy Playmate Brittney Powell. We'll have to make room in the office for this one right next to our Tiki Bar TV pin-up cal from Lala (yes, we really have one). [Amazon] Break.com is offering up some holiday cash ($600) for successfully pie-ing your Aunt Rita in the face. The site is offering the cash, as they often do, for entries into the...

We knew we hadn't seen the last of the engine room on the Us Azureas when things left in a black hole cliffhanger this past spring. Sci-fi comedy web series The Crew is coming back for a second season next week after singing an exclusive deal with online video site Babelgum. For creator Brett Register, who had been using the hiatus from the show to roll out a number of short experimental web series like Craig and the Werewolf, he said he is excited to be able to pay his talent and crew this time around. "We were indeed able to pay everyone who worked on the show this season, which was amazing as the tagline when producing season one was, 'don't worry about money, we'll all get paid in season two,'" quipped Register. "Who knew that'd turn out to be true!" While it's not exactly TV-level money going around,...
