Web series Vs movies

You have an idea on what you wish to create for a movie but if looked at from conventional point of view it will not be successful. In a web series you have the freedom to cast anyone, enact the story as you like and have an unadulterated vision of your project.

You can work together in one or more movies, But working on a web series requires more time, energy and respect for each other and the media. You need to face the challenges together.

You genuinely love your collaborators and could see yourself working together for a long time.

You have to create your own opportunity. This includes the writers, actors, and directors. If the movie industry does not give you a chance then you can create and opportunity on the internet by creating a web series.

You can think countless adventures for your characters.

You can be flexible – if an actor or location does not work out then you can think fast, be flexible in solutions.

You may not have enough cash but you be willing to put in extra work  to control the costs. You be an actor and also pick up stuff, everyone is doing double duty, you cannot sit in the director’s chair while everyone else is doing something. It is better to have a small crew, you keep busy and are not bored. It is esy to move around and the group becomes a family.

You want to work with big actors but don’t have money. For web series you can start with an ultra low budget. Paying the cast and crew something better than nothing. But if you know someone -  a well known personality who is willing to work for nothing then your web series will be a hit.

If the format of the web series is unusual. You decide the scope of the narrative and its length is decided by you. You can decide a continuous story for episodes or stand alone episodes. Since you’re creating your own deadline/release schedule, you can make the web series work around your commitments.

 You’re comfortable with the n audience have.

We decided to self-release the first season of “The Impossibilities” for two reasons: we want it to be free online and we want to maintain creative control. The tradeoff, of course, is that we are the ones that are accountable for growing our own audience. We started on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with friends and family and are slowly growing from there with support from the magic, LGBT and general film -loving communities.
