What KCC is up against
Written by Matt B · first published 29/01/2010
Tony's calculations that Kent TV's series cost £2 per viewer once more highlight how KCC have failed to comprihend the nature of the Internet. Simply putting up a website full of Authority Controlled content is not going to make KCC suddenly relevent.
We do not live in China (thank goodness) and so KCC have not got the option of blocking, banning or arresting the competition.
They are not innovating with "Holy Would" (only a single letter removed from Kim Basinger's Holli Would in Cool World). Indeed to even measure up to the things that similar budgets are doing they are going to have to work a whole lot harder.
Take for example Riese a web series finally saw it's debuted early November, 2009. Riese is a Sci-Fi crossed with Fantasy themed web series. The series itself is about a traveller named Riese who flees across the lands of Eleysia with her father's wolf. Hunted by a terrifying religious group called "The Sect" Riese must evade the assassins that have been sent to kill her and discover their true objective.
It's an exciting, visually rich and fully realised story shot using note worthy and innovative technology (Red One). It too had a budget but you can clearly see where the money was spent.
Most significantly for this discusion it is a web series and can watched on youtube and other streaming services. Each episode is fairly short and the first chapter was made of six such episodes. As you can see from the trailer while it's not exactly a rival for the likes of Avatar it is good stuff and KCC would be well advised to learn from this far more successful production outfit if they want to be taken seriousely.
