The Battery’s Down is pretty much the Glee of web series. Today the New York-based musical comedy series created by Jake Wilson announced the release of The Battery’s Down: Season 2 Soundtrack on Ghostlight Records. The 21-song album is now available for purchase on iTunes, Amazon and the Ghostlight website, featuring the works of recent Pulitzer Prize-winning Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey, along with Michael Arden, Nick Blaemire, Eric Day, Ryann Ferguson, Connor Gallagher, John Hill, Lance Horne, Kirsten Guenther, Steven Jamai and many more.

The Guild announced that their much rumored Season 4 is now officially picked up by lead sponsor Microsoft. Creator-star Felicia Day is “putting the finishing touches on the script” for the new season, according to their announcement, which will pick up where Season 3 left off. “Pre-production is underway, keeping producer Kim Evey and Streamy Award winning director Sean Becker very busy as cameras are set to roll sometime in May.” [The Guild]
Who Knew? launched this week, a new web
series from Yahoo News and Reveille, part of a broader partnership between the two companies. The series takes a quick under 3-minute look at “out-of-the-ordinary facts and information” in a jumpy, graphics heavy primer on a subject. First up was the historical mystery of the Shroud of Turin (below). Toyota Avalon is the lead sponsor. [paidcontent.org][On a personal note, I’m going to refrain from direct discussion of this year’s Streamy Awards ceremony on Tubefilter News, while the IAWTV and Streamys take a look at what happened with the content and what changes can be made for next year. What I would like to focus on are the shows and talented people behind them that inspire us at Tubefilter to cover this growing industry every day. The road ahead is a bright one and I’m looking forward to following the thriving world of web series and online entertainment. Thank you for reading us and thank you for supporting this growing medium.]
