What a night last night—thank you to everyone who made it out to the sold out Tubefilter Hollywood Web TV Meetup, the night was teeming with creative energy. It started off with a packed panel session, “Going LIVE!” where we got into the nuts and bolts of live streaming web series. The entire panel, which can be watched now on demand (above), reached over 700 concurrent viewers on the live stream through Stickam.com and here on Tubefilter News. A higher-res version of the panel will be available soon.
We took a clue from panelist Tyler Crowley’s live web series, This Week in Startups with Jason Calacanis, and did what Jason calls “making love to the sponsors.” So you might catch a few shout-outs to our sensational sponsors—Ooyala, AMD, Sony Creative Software, Showbiz Software, and Blip.tv. As fellow panelist Brian Gramo of TheStream.TV quipped, “you can’t TiVo past that” when we showed the sponsors some love.
In all over 550 attendees made it out to the Meetup, all buzzing with a renewed energy that brighter times are here for web series. You could feel it and see it in the faces of creators and enthusiasts in the room. Rob Welkner of Coin-Op TV Live made a nice writeup of the Meetup, with his co-host Hailey Bright on the panel.

Let’s face it, summer is finally over. Those long days of daylight will now begin to slip away, the air will turn crisp, and before you know it your clock will “fall back” and you’ll find yourself wandering around in the dark at 6:00pm like some extra from I Am Legend. But fear not, you undead nightwalker! This October 19, we have a special treat for you: an extra special Tubefilter Hollywood Web Television Meetup! What could be a better kickoff for the first day of Digital Hollywood and the Prospective Membership Meeting of the International Academy of Web Television?
Tubefilter Hollywood Web Television Meetup is proud to present Going LIVE!, an in-depth look at what it takes to pull off a live television show on the web. With the proliferation of live content online—thanks to platforms like UStream, Justin.tv, Stickam, and Livestream, it’s no wonder so many web television creators are producing high-quality live content online. Live broadcasts are an event in themselves, which provide a level of interactivity, buzz, and community building that you just can’t get from on-demand programming. We’ve pulled together a group of leading innovators in the live web television in an event you don’t want to miss.

There’s a new web series out that entrepreneurs, investors, and venture capitalists need to follow. Yes, I’m talking about This Week in Startups, a clever podcast that provides a little look inside how entrepreneurship works.
For those who don’t know, TWiST is produced and hosted by veteran Internet entrepreneur and startup-wizard Jason Calacanis, the man behind Mahalo.com and formerly Weblogs, Inc. and Silicon Alley Reporter.
The show is a simple, easy watch that delivers compelling interviews without dumbing it down for the audience.
