LOFTS is a Reality TV show about two roommates (and a cameraman?) who get trapped in their apartment. This first episode explains how the whole fiasco got started, and you can view the rest of the story at SOLMI.Net. A simple iTunes search reveals Podcast: The Series, and MySpace is pretty easy to find as well. It would appear they haven’t posted any new videos in a while, but perhaps you can account that to college students on winter break. If you want to see more from them, I suggest you go to their site and bug them with emails and comments.
I met Jason and Meagan at the latest Florida Creatives Happy Hour, and I talked to them briefly, but I didn’t realize who they were and what they were doing until I started poking through the contact list today. If these folks keep experimenting, filming and otherwise being funny, we can actually start claiming that Orlando has pop-quality video podcasters in town. Watch out, New York and the West Coast! Orlando’s gunning for ya! Ask a Ninja? How about TV’s Tom Selleck? He’s got a freakin’ sword!
There is lots more to see at I Heart The Dot Com. They have 15 episodes of their self-referential Podcast: The Series available, plenty for hours of enjoyment.
If you or someone you know suffers from a distinct lack of “local color” (i.e. they watch too much nationally syndicated TV and the like), send ‘em on over to OrlandoVideo, and send us some emails at yonder address –> Liberatr [at] Gmail DOT Com. I hope to hear from y’all soon!
This is the second appearance for Fantacine here on Orlando Video. This collective has produced some quality work, and Texas, Georgia and Florida have seen fit to honor them for their work, according to their web site. The director of this film is a one Benjamin M Piety, who also directed the Heathens’ music video I mentioned earlier.
If you want to see this clip without the fun YouTube box around it, click here. I also recommend you check out Benjamin’s home page, where you can also find his blog.
This trailer makes me think of the long string of, well, “emo” films that have been sweeping out country in the last few years – Eternal Sunshine, Garden State, or locally produced The Last Romantic, the movie that launched Band Marino to local stardom, or the movie that Band Marino launched to local stardom, or maybe they were working in chorus. Still, this film appears to look beautiful, even if I have no idea what it’s about, I’d like to see it. Maybe they will get in to Florida Film Fest, so we can all see what’s up…
If you want to tell us what’s up, protest about my posting two films from the same… studio? OR if you would like to see a film of your own here, send an email — liberatr [at] gmail DOT com.
What can be said about Lady Raptastic? She does a weekly podcast and a more frequent blog with topics ranging across the board, from fashion to food, celebreties to cinema. I know she has ties to Orlando because Mark Baratelli is (I believe) a producer of the show. You can see previous coverage of Mark Baratelli on Liberatr.net.
I recently saw this video that Lady posted on her blog, and I was inspired to share the message here on the blog. Monkey suicide is the next Project[RED]. Maybe Project[POO]? What do you think? Or instead of LIVESTRONG, maybe LOVEBANANAS.
Lady Raptastic is also on iTunes, MySpace, the new Digg for podcasts, and YouTube. As if I needed to say it one more time, if you would like to see your videos or a video you know of featured on OrlandoVideo.TV, send an email with a link or an attachment to liberatr [at] gmail DOT com.
In this crazy hurricane we call Internet Video, I get a jones for finding things that were made in my backyard. I hope these little blogs can bring a bit of that joy to you, and maybe help you make a new friend. It's the least I can do.
