Production Notes
AnimeTV is a web series originally produced by Bang Zoom! Entertainment, that ran for one full season on Blip.TV(blip.tv) and other video sharing sites. Dare Fusion was asked to represent the show for a second season and find sponsors and/or a new home for the show.
Dare Fusion created a new pitch package and successfully placed the show with Revision3 (revision3.com/animetv), at the time the leading provider of episodic web television. Due to our experience producing high definition for the web, the team at Dare Fusion was asked to stay on board and run production for the second season. This involved creating a revised format, new show graphics package, music, and a new set design. In addition, we set a show schedule that demanded a new episode every week and upgraded the existing website at goanimetv.com to facilitate a social media marketing push.
AnimeTV was a lot of fun primarily because we were working with a dynamic group of young, talented individuals who always brought lots of energy to the set. We welcome our next opportunity to produce a magazine-style show as fun as AnimeTV.
