Early Thrasher: The Channel


Funding the Channel

Hello everyone. We really need to get some income from our channel. This place won’t run itself. We are starting a pilot scheme of advertising provided by the wonderful folks at Blip.tv. We want your feedback. If you hate the ads, they will go.

Right now, we’ve got little pop ups.

Click those ads if you want the channel to stay afloat. Click like crazy.

We have more options. Would you prefer a 10 second pre roll or post roll ad? Or are these small clickables the best was to fund the project.

As I have said, if eveybody objects, we will remove them… but imagine the amount of content we could make with a few dollars rolling in here.

The message is clear. Email 2 friends about the channel. Tell them to email 2 friends about the channel. And so on. And so on. And so on. Like those faberget organic shampoo commercials from the 80s! (see below)

And tell those friends to enjoy our content… and tell them to click 1 ad. Thats all I’m asking. 1 ad per day. Heck, one ad every 3 days. Then we’ll keep this thing running at a much faster pace.

We are looking for sponsors. We will even take cigarette money. I hear thats where the cash is these days. Delicious cigarettes! Yummy!



Shooting and Editing, Shooting and Editing!

The past 2 days have been full of shooting and editing for our new show “The Grind”. We now have 7 and a half minutes of a 20/30 minute episode shot. How exciting. If things continue at this rate, we will have a show out in no time. 48 hours = 7:30 minutes. Amazing. Just goes to show how easy it is for us to rattle out content like there’s no tomorrow.

Seriously. Would you rather watch some piece of crap every day, or sheer comedic genius once a month. Exactly. Thats why youtube is so big and our channel gets zero ratings…

… thats not true. We’re doing well!

I’m so proud of this new show. You will enjoy it. It is a documentry interspersed with clips we have

filmed on our quest to find a new show for our network. All’s good in the Early Thrasher Hood. Rich is designing new logos which we plan to animate on 3D studio max. Very exciting!

We Want A Soap!

Hello everybody. We would like to start a soap here on the channel. I want nothing to do with it. I will possibly guest star in it. Literally a walk on, walk off part. If you would like to do that, contact us here. I would be willing to write an episode, or some plots for the show, but other than that I would like to delegate all shooting, acting and editing to someone else. I am too busy for that sort of thing. Too big time now. Ha.

Thanks to the people I met outside  a bar on Saturday who recognised me. They looked like Irish Nuns.

Get in touch if you can write and shoot a soap!



New Thrasher Report from Roadtrip!

We only managed to shoot one episode, but I think its a good one. Its a comedy showcase. We all display our different comdey styles and the result is quite incredible. I dont understand why this sort of thing isnt on TV. Maybe if it was, it wouldn’t be funny. The fact that this is not on TV, makes it funny.

Tune in. Get our ratings up and maybe we’ll make another pretty soon!

Enjoy the cling-film special.
