Afterworld

Format: Episodic Series
Length:2-3 minutes

Afterworld is quite possibly the most ambitious internet television venture to date. The show is an animated adventure — quite literally a comic book come to life — following the journey of a man who wakes up in his New York City hotel one morning to discover that all the world’s technology, as well as the majority of the population, has suddenly disappeared. Now this man, Russell, is on a journey back to his home in Seattle to see if his family survived “the fall.” Naturally, along the way is danger, mystery, crazy characters, and (of course) clues as to what caused technology to destroy the world.
Afterworld utilizes the show’s format to the fullest in designing a user experience at Afterworld.tv that can only be described as the most elegant on-demand interface yet. The show’s creators have completed the first season – a whopping 130 episodes – and clearly have grand plans to continue the show across many different interactive platforms, including plans for mobile distribution.

Who would like it: Fans of science fiction, comic books, or those who would like to see an episodic version the film “I Am Legend” with a much deeper mystery and no zombie-vampires.
Demographic: predominately Male, 14-35
Sponsorship Opportunities: Companies targeting niche-entertainment-focused consumers.
Product Placement Opportunities: Since the series takes place in a post-apocalypse United States, there are plentiful opportunities for companies to prove that their product will “stand the test of time.”
