Hey, Scott, the answer to your question is no — as Celeste pointed out, though, that lead to a simpler production. I’ve written another post for NewTeeVee that dictates how complicated an experience brand integration can be:

Hey Scott, I’ll let Liz weigh in on the specifics for this show, but she’s also covered video monetization options (including brand integration) here: http://pro.gigaom.com/2010/05/a-guide-to-online-video-monetization-options/

Hi Liz, was there any paid brand integration in the series?

I believe that’s the case, yes.

Hi, i realized when I looked at this more closely that there were no costs for writers. Was it the producers that actually wrote the material?

You know, I wish I had a good answer, but don’t know enough about international production to give it to you. Good luck, though!

Hi Liz, great post here. I have one question. Imagine to shoot the “same” web series in 6 different Countries changing actors for local adaptation. After the first one with your cost analysis, how much will costs the other five localizations? (Countries: Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, United Kingdom)

Let me explain a little bit better, and sorry for my English. It’s possible to write off any costs and reduce the adaptations budget on x%?

Thanks Liz!

Hey, Phillip! I don’t want to give an exact number because of the terms of anonymity I agreed to, but it was more than 8 episodes and less than 15. The key, of course, is that they were all shot at the same time, which was another way of saving money. However, there are no more episodes in the can.

Hi, how many episodes did this actually produce? Just curious how far this went.
