Hey guys ...
Downloaded the QT version and got a "unknown compressor" error.
What codec is this compressed with? Might want to put a link to it on this page :-)
Cheers ...

Hey, Paul, I heard that someone helped you with this off-list, but I thought I'd post this for other folks. The episode should work as long as you've got a current version of Quicktime. I just clicked on the picture and it worked fine. If it doesn't seem to work, see if you have the latest version.

Great work. I laughed until I cried. It's so damn funny and the best thing is that it's actually almost like some "vampire WITH A SOUL"!
I'll tune in next friday, for sure!

Great idea. Atrocious acting. But hey... let's have a jelly-filled thrown in, eh?

Good start. What kind of mic system do you have? How many/what brand? I was thoroughly impressed with how clear/clean the voices were.
I was getting kind of impatient though with the lack of close up shots. I can only sit so long with the camera pointed at one spot before getting antsy to see some camera movement. I feel a lot of those awesome facial expressions weren't given justice.
And there's my complete unprofessional opinion.

thanks for the feedback. next season - we're getting a real DP instead of letting a rank amateur like me run the camera! our audio set-up: "DA-P1 digital recorder with manual, batteries, boom pole, zeppelin with pistol grip, shockmount, Audio Technica 4037a shotgun mic." plus llew, our excellent sound guy on set. next season - we think we can improve on sound as well, using an additional mic to help get room tone. fun stuff!

I miss the Whedonverse on television. Until Joss Whedon makes more, this is the entertainment to watch until then!!! Can't wait for more!!! Keep up the good work!
Please don't have Charity Case shriek again! I've heard many diffent screams before, but what was that? lol

Good lord, so good! And what do you mean 'atrocious acting'? I think they do a fine job.
It's a parody, not a FOX primetime special. Go with the flow and laugh.

Young Basil (and chums), your farscher sent me a link to your most interesting series. Like father like son I see! I was most amused by the whole thing and entirely understand your discomfort regarding the lack of gin. I felt a strong need for some after watching just two episodes! Seriously - great fun - keep up the excellent work.

I just got through watching the Episode 1 and it was hilarious. I'm a huge Buffy and Angle fan and since they aren't on any more this is an awesome substitute. I just wished I would have found out about this site earlier, but better late than never. I'm downloading the rest of the episodes as I type, I can't wait to see what will happen next.
My favorite part was when Johnny kept calling Cherub on the phone, the dialogue was priceless. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Joss would be proud.

Oh man ... I'm a fan already. Love it. So proud that I can say my hometown theatre scene produces works such as this. You ever need an extra to play something fiendish, I'm there.
