Kathryn Velvel Jones’s Summary
On September 19th 2007 Synchronis.tv made history by being the first web 2.0 production company to stream a scripted web drama LIVE on the internet. Over 12 consecutive nights, 12 crew members and 8 actors gathered to shoot our first season of 10 episodes, shot with three cameras, mixed in real time and streamed live at 9 pm est via Ustream.tv. Our first season was covered by both the traditional press including The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times on line, as well as numerous well know blogs, including mashable, truemors, On Line Video Watch, Newteevee, Jeff Pulver, Steve Garfield and more.
"35" follows my first online video venture, "Question of the Week- indie tunes and inspiration on the streets of NYC". With absolutely no prior experience in shooting, editing or rss, over a period of 7 months my partner Nick McNeely and I produced, hosted and edited 30 consecutive episodes of the vodcast to well over half a million views.
In addition I am also an organizer of Podcamp NYC 2007 and 2008.
I received my acting training at Northwestern University, Actor’s Theatre of Louisville, The Shakespeare Lab at the Joseph Papp Public Theater, The Actor’s Center and Sally Johnson Studios, and have performed all over the country. I have shot numerous short films and as a singer I have sung such diverse roles as “Johanna” in “Sweeney Todd” and “Sally Simpson” in “Tommy”.

(Partnership; 1-10 employees; Entertainment industry)
April 2007 — Present (1 year 4 months)
Synchronis.tv aims to stand at the forefront of the growing intersection of media and technology by merging two booming internet trends, live broadcasting and internet episodics (webisodes).
Synchronis.tv intends to create an internet episodic series that will be shot live, and will transcend the pure novelty of television on the internet to embrace a character rich, plot-driven, superbly crafted and acted series utilizing seasoned professionals.
We believe that our years of experience both in front of and behind the camera position us to be the first company to turn our webisode into a must see viewer event. -
