More Web Series Captioning
This past month saw some increase in captioned web series. We are now posting the master list of captioned web series at http://captionaction2.blogspot.com/ on the captioned web series page. New to the list since last issue:
BROKEN TOY
GHOULS
HARD DRIVE 13
KIDS REENACT
MICROWAVE P**N
OUT WITH DAD
PIONEER ONE (Producer is from a deaf family)
SEEKING SIMONE
SIX FIGURES
SOLO
SPACE HOSPITAL
SQUATTERS
TIGHTS AND FIGHTS
VAMPIRE ZOMBIE WEREWOLF
The list has also been improved, by adding short descriptions of each web series to help you decide what to watch.
Web Series Becoming Television
What is a web series? What is a television program? The line between the two is becoming quite blurred! For now, any original programming for the Internet is called a web series. Also, short episodes of three to five minutes each still dominate, but the writing is on the wall. The future (which is getting very close) - lies with long-form web series of television-equivalent lengths. That is, a 22 minute web series episode with commercial breaks equals a half hour television program.

Caption Action 2: April 2011 Newsletter
This is the Caption Action 2 newsletter for April 2011.
The tide seems to be turning. We are finding out that sometimes in order to get a web series captioned, all you have to do is ask. Starting with this issue, every issue will carry a master list of captioned web series at the bottom. While the list is growing, it is just a tiny segment of the huge number of web series out there.
New Beneficiary on Caption Action 2
Recently Caption Action 2 changed the beneficiary on its Facebook cause. The new beneficiary is the National Association of the Deaf. Why the NAD? The NAD was the lead organization in the Coalition of Organizations for Accessible Technology (COAT) that worked to get the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act passed.

Caption Action 2: March 2011 Newsletter
This is the Caption Action 2 newsletter for March 2011.
Two New Captioned Web Series
We like to start off with good news, so here is some: two new web series are captioned! The first one is The Vamps Next Door, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcrmXgWzUx0, about a family of vampires. What is interesting about this web series, is that the producers are very interested in giving actors with disabilities opportunities! Not only does this web series include a deaf character (Dewey, played by Antionette Abbamonte), they plan to have a disabled character in every episode. There's just one problem; they do not have the funding to produce more episodes. Keep an eye on their website at http://www.thevampsnextdoor.com/. They hope to add a PayPal button or some other means for donations to be made to keep the web series going.
