- OstiaAntica 16y agoI didn't have a major role. RedZep had a great team, some funding, and vision, but the tech was really hard and they were ahead of their time. They set up a storefront digital studio, and the idea was that you'd do all the preproduction work online (script, music, backgrounds, transitions), and then go into the physical studio for an hour to do the shoot in front of a greenscreen. The plan was to disrupt traditional video production by using the web to squeeze all of the labor out of that process, and to make it easy to publish and host that video online. (Back when hosting video was EXPENSIVE). Then go nationwide with the model. Again, this was years before YouTube and webcams, when it was kind of hard to publish video online. It obviously failed, I don't know those details, I was working for a tech partner that failed first in early 2001. Yeah dotcom bust! You can google Red Zeppelin Digital, there's still some web mentions and press releases. The principals are all local so you might reach out to them, heck you might find your cofounder!
