Today we'd like to point out something we're enjoying for months now and maybe some of you have heard of or seen it, too. Talking about independent productions on YouTube, beginning with the Australian web series Damon Dark.
As Adrian Sherlock, the creator of UFO hunter Dark, told us, he found main inspiration for his series in Gerry Anderson's UFO, particularly episode Timelash being somehow 'responsible' for the birth of Damon Dark.
But since his hero stepped onto the scene years ago, the Damon Dark universe has expanded, especially since coming to YouTube. Other very creative, talented and prolific people with own ideas have joined him in producing more and more stuff in order to entertain fans around the globe. By now, it has become an international collaboration of dedicated people, contributing to the show (providing music, visual effects, developing new characters and guest starring, etc), even starting spin-offs and broadcasting them on YouTube.
Although we always state preferring old classic pictures to film/tv of today, we are greatly impressed by those programmes. Plus, we like it better than many of so called professionally done modern films and TV!
