I am a special effects artist (for the last 20 years) and a puppeteer. I have created a web property called "Transylvania Television" that has its sights set on becoming the next break-out television sitcom. Its an all-puppet comedy show for grown-up audiences. Think "Muppets meets Two And a Half Men".
I believe in it whole-heartedly, which is why I've invested myself into the poor house with its production and promotion. But I'm still not reaching the kinds of audience numbers that attract network attention. That's a matter of penetration. All our efforts on the web are mitigated by the fact that we're competing on a field inundated by randomness and dilution. Advertising is easy when you have lots of cash... but when you're not well funded? Not so much.
I know we have a professional quality show. It just hasn't been seen by enough people yet. So I'm hoping to become involved with Kickstarter and garner some operating capital that will allow us to propel TVTV into a much bigger public eye. The plans exist... we just need the "green impetus". You know?
