We don't see a lot of web series in French around, but when I searched for one I stumbled upon Le Rodri Show and was immediately intrigued. This animated comedy web series is about a late night chat show with Rodrigo Tortillas as host. His guests include famous Canadians such as Céline Dion.
I have already mentioned transmedia production company BeActive a couple of times before. They are very innovative when it comes to online series and this time they have decided to use picture-sharing
social network Pinterest to extend its most recent drama series.
Beat Girl The Web Diaries debuted on YouTube earlier this month.
Here is the 1st episode "Music is Everything":
What's interesting about this 18-35
female-skewing web series is that BeActive decided to launch a string of prequel photos and short videos on Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/beatgirlworld/
Furthermore, they are hoping to secure broadcast partners in order to transfer Beat Girl from the web to TV, like one of their first web series Sofia’s Diary was transferred from
Bebo to Channel 5 in the UK.
Nowadays it's so easy to create your own web series. All you need is an idea and a camera phone. Laps, for example,is a new, original series which was shot entirely with an iPhone. It's created and produced by Chad Diez and distributed by 20/20 Productions that also distributes the very successful web series Orange Juice in Bishop's Garden.
Laps is about Nathan who is desperate for a change in his life and therefore, returns to his high
school track to get back in shape. He's ready to kick his bad habits,
but the cigar smoking over-eater's eyes are bigger than his stomach. Check out the trailer:
Laps was selected for the L.A.Web Series Festival in 2012 and won Best Web Series at New York International Film Festival in 2011. So, this is definitely one not to miss.

Euro Cup 2012, the Olympics, Wimbledon - it's THE sports summer, so why not introduce a web series which is about sports, well a sports talk radio.
Sports Talk Radio goes behind the scenes of JOCK 700 AM - a station
devoted to sports in British Columbia. The comedy web series delves into the lives
of the on-air personalities. From Bunt and Frank, the two polar-opposites who host the
popular drive-home show, to the sexy-traffic-and-weather-together-girl to
the station manager who's trying to keep everything running smoothly.
Have a look here:
Writer and producer of Sports
Talk Radio, Jason Bryden plays also Frank, the
sports talk guy who has a
desire to make his Vancouver sports show more than interviews with sportsmen
and obscene references to chicks.
Jason's other two web series are The Staff Room and The Acting Class.
Each of those are 12 episodes while Sports Talk Radio is only six. Episodes run from 5-7 minutes, geared for the speedy nature
of the internet. If you wanna see more go to Jason's YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheJasonBryden
