Sneak Peak - What the Funny

We here at Caution Zero have been working furiously on our new project. Check out the preview:


Get the Flash Playerto see this movie.

"What the Funny" was created by Wayne Rawley, directed by Lynn Shelton, and shot by Ben Kasulke. We are only a few weeks away from releasing the first episode and we couldn't be more pleased. In addition, we'll be unveiling our new website to better showcase "What the Funny", "Cherub", and all the other bad-craziness that we have in the pipeline.

On a related note, I'll be at the Podcast and New Media Expo. I'm speaking on a panel about producing serialized content for the interwebs. If you're at the conference, drop by.

And now we return to the last few weeks of post. I can't tell you how excited the crew and I are to be so close to done. We hope to have everything sorted by the 18th - drop in and check out the latest of the new wave.

For those interested, the parties responsible can be contacted at info(at)cautionzero.net.

CHERUB is a slapstick parody of Joss Whedon's ANGEL, released as an internet video series by Seattle-based Caution Zero Network. Season One featured twelve 4-7 minute episodes about the adventures of Cherub, the vampire with bunny slippers, and his gang at Cherub Investigations - the aspiring actress Charity Case, the arcane expert Jasper Windham-Hill, the muscle man Roger Pipebomb, and the inter-dimensional traveler Barney. Season Two raises the stakes (so to speak), with dramatically improved production values, more ambitious episodes, and wackier villains and situations - including appearances by Cherub's old friend Edmond the Squeaky (otherwise known as Squeak), the irrepressible wiccan Wallow, and an iPod that turns Cherub into a roll of toilet paper. The series is at once a wild send-up and loving homage of Whedon's vampire with a soul. Season Two features thirteen 7-10 minute episodes that promise a wide range of "hijinks", "hilarity", and "just what exactly were they thinking" - including a crazy zombie episode that was shot all in one take.
