‘RocketJump’ Showrunner Shares Details About Upcoming Hulu Series

RocketJump, in case you haven’t heard, is making a leap. The digital studio and YouTube channel headed by visual effects maestro Freddie Wong will soon premiere a Hulu original series called RocketJump: The Show, and in order to give fans a brief tease of the fun to come, showrunner Ben M. Waller has authored a blog post describing the series, breaking down its production timeline, and sharing a few photos from the set.

Waller, a RocketJump employee who was just announced as the Hulu series’ showrunner, describes the upcoming program as “Project Greenlight meets Parks and Rec meets Looney Toons.” In each episode, the production process behind a specific short will be highlighted, with the short itself serving as the icing on the cake. This format, Waller explains, “will be a little bit BTS, a little bit action comedy extravaganza, and hopefully a lotta bit of heart.”

In keeping with RocketJump tradition, Waller also offers complete transparency about the production process. In his blog post, he breaks down the entire production timeline, from an initial June 2014 meeting with Lionsgate (seven months before the show was announced publicly) to the current final week of shooting. A few pictures from the production show that yes, this is going to happen, and yes, there are going to be gorgons.

One thing Waller doesn’t reveal is the show’s planned release date, though he tells us to “get ready for some bus-punching.” In the meantime, there are plenty of shorts available on the RocketJump YouTube channel, and most of them are ridiculous fun.
