Update #11: DVDs for all

Posted on January 31

We really want to thank you all so much for your patience and continued support. Although this project has definitely taken longer than we expected, we're on our way to finishing it. We shot about 23 hours of footage for this project, which ended up taking a while to go through. We've released 2 episodes of Tigerclaw, with 4 episodes left to go. 

As a reward for your patience, we want to extend the DVD reward to everyone who has contributed any amount! If you've already pledged for the DVD reward, we'll add in something extra as an extra thank you. In the next few months, a Kickstarter email will go out that asks for your current mailing address. Please make sure this is updated so we can get your goodies out to you.

Third episode is in the works...

Update #7: Premiere date!

Posted on April 13, 2011

Hey friends,

First of all, thank you all for your patience. In between finishing up a degree, putting out a record, touring around the country three times, and one Filet-O-Fish too many, we've been hard at work wrapping up post production on our web series. Now, we're finally ready to share it with you.

I'm happy to announce the premiere date of the first episode of Celery TV presents Tigerclaw is... May 2nd! Ohhh, and there's another nugget of news: the show is called Tigerclaw.

Watch this space for updates until then! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email us at bubbles@celerystudios.com.

Update #5: State of the Union

Posted on October 23, 2010

Dearest friends,

I want to fill you all in on what we're up to.

First, the biggest change: we decided early on before writing to alter the focus of what Celery TV would be. What does this mean? Instead of 6 episodes of our -sketch- comedy show, you'll be seeing 6 episodes of our -comedy- show. We're just taking out the word sketch to more accurately reflect the material. This doesn't mean we're not going to be making sketch shorts anymore; on the contrary, thanks to all of your generous contributions, we now have the equipment to make and share more short films than we could before. So truly all this change means is that we get to make more videos for you all to watch. I hope that's cool with everyone.

But that brings us to the most exciting news: we're planning on releasing the first episode of our show in the next few months! Once all of the episodes are released, our next goal is to get those DVDs out to all of you who chose that reward. I want to encourage you all to keep a close eye on http://celery.tv where we will be posting more routine updates on all this.

Thanks again for all your love and support. We couldn't have done all this without your help and the hard work of our fantastic cast and crew.

Take care,
Deepak

Update #4: Filming

Posted on June 27, 2010

Hey all,

Just wanted to quickly update you all on where we're at.

We started filming the 6 episode series in mid-June. We're going to wrap up shooting it in mid-July. After that, our plan (if everything goes according to plan) is to take two months to edit everything. We hope to premiere the first episode in early Fall.

Thank you again for your support. We can't wait to show you what we're working on!

Take care,
Deepak & Nitin
