Planet Nerd interviews Andrew Baron from Rocketboom

Sep 162008

A few weeks ago the Planet Nerd team had the inestimable pleasure of sitting down with Andrew Baron, creator and writer of Rocketboom — frequently quoted as the most successful video podcast in the world.

For those that don’t know, Baron recently inked a seven-figure deal with Sony to distribute Rocketboom via their various channels. He was in Australia to talk all things video at the Portable Film Festival.

So without further ado, from his throne carved of platinum virgins atop his massive pile of money, Lord Baron (as he now prefers to be known) dictates the new Laws of the World to Dan Walmsley and Ben McKenzie.

Enjoy!

Last weekend I was lucky enough to be part of the inaugural Portable Film Academy. Thanks to Andrew Apostola and all the crew, helpers, speakers and other attendees it was a great weekend and I really learned a lot.

The core task for the weekend was to create an original online series, and below you can watch Episode 1 of our series called â€œForeverâ€. This was produced by myself, Johnny Blank and Sebastian Goldspink.

Also a huge thanks to our star Oliver Clark, who was just brilliant as Karl. He nailed every scene in one or two takes, which was great because we were under a lot of time pressure.

A few weeks ago, Dan Walmsley and Adam McKenzie visited Hamilton Island for a week of comedy gigs. What they found was disturbing: a place so seemingly-perfect, so carefree, so fun and yet relaxing, so full of wealthy people partying, so full of free activities and friendly staff, that it just had to have a dark underbelly.

Or so it seems.

This piece was filmed for Channel 31′s Breakfast Show Live.
