I don’t know if other folks will love it…
October 23rd, 2006
I don’t know if other folks will get quite a big a kick of it as I do, I’m really happy with the latest episode of Felt Up TV. I ran around interviewing folks at Podcamp Boston like crazy, and it yielded lots of funny little moments that I’m getting to rediscover all over again as I cut them together. Some of the jokes and moments in this one crack me up every time I watch it.
These interviews are a pretty big departure for Felt Up TV, which was previously all sketch comedy, but I like ‘em, and they’re better than not putting out anything at all!
The latest episodes features luminaries from the videoblogging community including the awesome Casey and Rudy from Galacticast, Amanda Congdon, Shauna from Scriggity, and Justin, the creator of Something To Be Desired.
My favorite moments? The bit where Rudy says “How come the fox gets it and I get none of the love?” and Justin’s delayed, genuine laugh at the end when I say “Arm-agra?”
Felt Up is almost ready!

Felt Up, our collaborative puppet sketch comedy video podcast, is getting very close! The footage is with our editor, and I’ve just put up a short teaser trailer on the blog.
Check it out if you haven’t already!
So close!

I literally just yelled out “son of a poop!” in my office. I got so excited about Tara mentioning Felt Up that I missed 123456. After all that hype!
Our first internet coverage!. Tara (aka miss rogue) is an marketing genius in the new, community based, cluetrain driven sense. She’s the major muscle behind Riya’s successes so far and this is a very very nice compliment indeed.
Launch Day is April 1st - No Joke!

SXSW has come and gone, but I’m still catching up on the sessions I missed by listening to the podcasts. Just the fact that you can listen to many of the keynote talks on your own time on your own device is pretty amazing and there’s lots of good stuff to hear, but many of the conversations that I’m really interested in happened outside the traditional keynote sessions, and don’t appear to have been caught on tape. Perhaps more will show up as part of IT Conversations, caught by attendees.
In the meantime, things are rocketing along here, Flu and Bronchitis be damned! Sara and I spent yesterday with some of the other wonderful “Felt Up” crew and churned out at least 3 great bits, which means that with the pilot, we’re good for an April 1st launch! I’ve been hesitant to talk too much about Felt Up here on the blog for fear of over-hyping it before it became a reality, but at this point we’re 95% of the way there and it’s looking amazing!
For those that don’t know, Felt Up is a short-format internet comedy series for portable video devices featuring puppets.
That’s a mouthful, so I’ll explain. We know a lot of great comedians here in NY, and our network of friends includes filmmakers, writers, and other amazing creative types. Getting everyone together (especially the hyper-busy comedians,) is really tough, but getting them to lay 5-10 minutes of audio down (whether reading a part for a sketch or improvising) is pretty doable. Once we’ve got funny audio by notable comedians we can act it out with puppets, taking our time with multiple takes, lots of angles, etc… While we’re at it, we get to play around and improv our own sketches as well!
You can see some production photos over at the Flickr tag FeltUpTV and keep your eyes on FeltUpTV.com, we’ll be launching soon!
