I know I said I'd be covering the rehearsals more, but I'm really keen to explain and expand on what is happening via Twitter and Facebook for Urban Numina.
One of the key things about distributing a series via the Internet is that you get to play with how you tell your story. Engage the audience via multiple sources for information about the show and it's characters.
What I have started with Urban Numina is a kind of prologue story told via the tweets of Jenna, Devon, Andrea and Mel. The trick is for followers of these twitter feeds to piece together what is happening via the comments being made by the characters. This is also a chance to learn more about the characters via their comments. Much in the way that the UK series Misfits did.
Secondly, there will be photo essays and other "in world" material posted on our upcoming facebook page.
The idea here is to have multiple leads into the show, and make a bit of a game out of following the various sources.
Nothing vital will be presented via these extra media resources, rather I am using them to help flesh out the world and its characters.
But this kind of thing is only as effective as the social networks they are a part of. This is where you come in. Spread word and get people following the characters. The more people engage with the twitter feeds, the more they will become a part of the series and the more interesting the storylines will become. :)
So spread the word folks!
