A few years ago, Glenn Przyborski directed and photographed a multi-part series titled, “Moving Numbers.” The show is a humorous, behind-the-scenes look at a dysfunctional political campaign. Against all odds, candidate, Bob Sanders wants to be the U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania. “MN” has the look and feel of spontaneous reality, ala “The Office”, yet every line is scripted. The cast is from LA, NYC and Pittsburgh.
John Brabender (of BrabenderCox) created the series based on events and characters that he’s observed (and worked for) in dozens of real political campaigns.
Post-production was handled by Thad Christian and his talented staff at Pittsburgh’s Phenomenon Post.
Why the unusual show lengths? This sure looks like a commercial TV series…
John Brabender created the show as a web series… Most so-called experts think a webisode has to be between 7 and 15 minutes. As an “old-school” director-cinematographer, I’m more oriented to watching TV on a TV. The episodes are mastered as full 1080P HDTV shows, then downconverted and compressed for web delivery.
