Here's another take on Web-based storytelling. L5 is a science fiction Web video series, about a spaceship crew investigating a mysteriously depopulated Earth.
Publication is planned like so:
The pilot episode of L5 wil be distributed through Vimeo and Youtube [channel] in high definition, as well as quicktime format on our website, and will be promoted as viral content on web forums, news fed sites, emails, as well as a production blog ...
Distribution and production of further episodes will be determined by the response to the pilot. Possible distribution methods include branded content or partnering with a torrent site.
That includes already launched a Facebook page and a Twitter feed, plus a production blog. Digital storytelling: we've got the multiple proscenia, the social interaction, and the serial structure.
Neat teaser trailer:
Nice Babylon-5 feel to it, too.
Funding crowdsourced by Kickstarter.
