Somewhere between 8k and 15k streaming, but we had like 45k download later that day.
Well, we had one virtual dedicated server. How many needed? More. A stronger more reliable server that can handle that amount of traffic. BUT, we only have that kind of traffic for one day so it wouldn't make sense to upgrade just for that.
Listeners? Bout 100k at least, possibly more.
Yes, I thought it'd be that high, but I also thought our server would handle it. I'll have a mirror server next time, but there may not be a next time. We won't be livestreaming the series finale.
How to top this? Do it live, in a location.
Buy? Marchish? We remaster in January.
Hey, KC!!!
I'm not going to read all the other pages before this one so I'll just take my chances that no one has asked such an obvious question yet. LOL!!! I want to be a character on your show. Have you contemplated creating walk-on roles for the fans?
No. It's happened in the past but most of those people were local. It's problematic because we need to control the audio fidelity in our studio, and most of our fans are not near us and it leaves several problems:
1. Mic Quality/Room quality doesn't match what we have.
2. Directing people remotely isn't much of an option.
3. If I ever need someone it's usually just a fill in line, which I tend to have a lot of people to draw from locally.
4. (This is not meant to be offensive) A lot of people who think they can act/perform, can't.
5. It's an extensive amount of paperwork that has to be arranged, NDA's, releases, etc...
It's more of a headache than what it's worth, but we have done some competitions in the past where we draw in talent. The zombie voices we used from fans were modified heavily, so I didn't have to worry about the fidelity that much, but it still was an issue on some where the audio tore.
I can't tell you how many e-mails I get from people asking to be in the show, and it just takes more time than usually what we have available with our very rushed production schedule.
I completely understand...the headache just isn't worth it. Maybe you could do a fan a "Solid" in a different way then? How about letting Otto Sturcke know that he's my favorite character on the show? The man knows his lines and makes you believe in the character. He'd be the guy I'd want watching my back if the SHTF. Oh....and can you put in a good word with Constance for me? LOL!!!
Totally. Sometimes you just gotta give a little 'tough love' to people; let 'em know where things stand, right?
Speaking of performances, I totally got this sick zombie-throat thing going on, y'know? I'ts kinda like a hoarse zombie-warbling kind of yodel, right? It would totally fit in as Randy's zombie-cry, right? It's kind of hard to reproduce it with text here but it kind of sounds like this: "HAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM-EEEEEEEEEM-MMMYOELLLI-YODELLEYIII-YODELLEI-YEDELLEI-YOOOOOOOOOU!"
Er... well, ya. Something like that. I can totally lay down that track on my dad's old boom box and then mail it to you, ok? Just, ah, let me know your address, and ah...
Hello? Kc? Hello??

We're back Alive again for WA Descendants!!
*CLick.... But seriously, I might set up something where people can submit zombie growls to possibly be used. It's the only thing that might be considered.
That being said, next season I'm expanding our sound team. I'll post more info on it later, but I'll need more people, editors and such who have access to pro tools. I have a few liceneses I can loan out, but I think Southern California based will be a requirement.
Hey Kc (that's my brothers name too),
I don't know if anyone else has asked this yet, but I was curious when the last time you made a major edit to the story. I'll let you determine what "major" means. I love the show btw, it's amazing.
Thanks,
Vince
