Casey McKinnon gets extra credit...
Earlier today I read a message in my Pownce account from Casey McKinnon stating... "My first published article EVER!" I was proud to hear that a fellow media producer was getting featured in The Gaurdian, a prestigious UK newspaper. Cassey and Rudy Jahchan produce the hugely popular online show(s) Galacticast and A Comicbook Orange. For those of you who don't know, Galacticast is a weekly comedy that parody's sci-fi, fantasy, horror, comics, and video-games. Let me just say that the shows are hilarious and they do a great job green screening and making entertaining fun episodes. It look like a small production house may have been fooling around and creating little snippets on set, but the reality is that Rudy and Cassey do it all from their humble apartment.
Back to the article... Cassey eloquently touches on the topic of the television networks and media industry buying out and not providing credit to the new content produced online. She highlights the decrease in big budgets and the audience moving away from mainstream TV and how independent producers are being edged out of their intellectual properties. "Like any company, we need a lawyer to look over our contracts to make sure that we retain our rights," says Cassey. I am not doing her article justice by taking pieces from it, I feel its an excellent well written piece, and I just created a del.icio.us bookmark for it. I strongly suggest checking out the "Give us credit" article and pass it along to your colleagues and friends.
