4GM Gets a Three-Fingered Salute

Congratulations to young Master Buckley over at Ctrl+Alt+Del for the birth of his animated series, available monthly from his website. I have no idea what insane business-model he's going to develop in order to pull it off, but I like his moxie!

And, to be blunt, I just like typing "moxie".

  1. You know, of course, that Penn Gillette likes the word "moxie" so much he named his daughter Moxie Crimefighter, don't you?

    Unless he home schools that kid, she is gonna grow up to be one tough motor oil.

  3. The business model seems to be the sort where you sell subscriptions to content that doesn't exist yet. They've produced a 45s trailer (sans voice acting) for 4min episodes and are now offering subscriptions at a reduced rate. The stickler is, of course, agreeing to produce 12 episodes without knowing for certain how much they'll bring in. Hm.

  4. as I said, the business model may well be insane. However, what you describe is a variant of ransom-ware, usually used in gaming.

    Regardless of its possible success (and I know that sounds nuts, but bear with me) the fact that Buckley is leveraging whatever branding he's accomplished to expand into other media sources is precisely the thing we should pleased with. He may well fail, but the first few of these that succeed push us even farther along the path to changing if not the actual relationship between creator/audience, but at least the perceived relationship, which is as valuable.
