Super Mashed Up! Seven Web Series Team Up for Super Crossover Series.
April 16, 2013. Los Angeles, CA – Seven web series. Eight episodes. One crossover extravaganza.
The creators and stars of web series from around the globe have teamed up for a fun mash-up of stories and characters from each of the series’ worlds. What would happen if super-villain Darkstar from Super Knocked Up met geeky cook Alan from Pairings who just happened to be a huge fan of hers? Or if the dysfunctional contract killers Matt and Lex from Clutch met Abdabs the Grim Reaper from The Bloody Mary show?
Super Mashed Up: Episode 1 – A Super Knocked Up/Pairings Crossover
Those are the questions the Super Mashed Up series has a lot of fun answering beginning Tuesday, April 16. Jeff Burns, creator of action/comedy series Super Knocked Up, conceived the idea when planning to go to LA Web Fest last month.
“I’m always trying to think of fun ways to not only promote Super Knocked Up but also all the other amazing web series out there,” says Burns. “LA Web Fest was going to be one of the few times we were all going to be together in one place, so I thought it was the perfect time to team up and shoot videos incorporating characters from a bunch of different series.”
So in the midst of going to screenings, panels, and networking events, the creators and stars of seven web series ran around LA Web Fest shooting crossover videos.
“It was mad ninja fun!” says Darlene Sellers, co-creator of comedy series Chop Socky Boom. “And it really made us feel like part of a web series family. Or dojo, as the case may be.”
Darren Chadwick-Hussein, creator of The Bloody Mary Show pipes in, “The crossovers were a phenomenal opportunity to unite likeminded people from both coasts, as well as Canada and the UK. The Americans showed us a great time and we showed them what universal healthcare looks like.”
Jonathan Robbins, creator of femme fatale action series Clutch, spearheaded the initiative with Burns. Both creators contacted other web series to see who would be interested in making crossover videos.
“I was thrilled to see everyone we contacted was totally down with the idea and really excited about it,” says Burns. “But that doesn’t surprise me since the web series community is by far the most supportive and collaborative community I’ve seen out of all the different areas of filmmaking I’ve been a part of.”
Robbins adds, “Putting characters from popular web series together on screen is exactly the kind of thing that separates what we’re doing on the web from what can be done on television. It was great to see that web series creators and performers alike were not afraid to just play.”
And playing is exactly what everyone did. While a couple of the crossover episodes were scripted or storied out in advance, many were spur of the moment creations with the creators and stars of the different series taking a few minutes to brainstorm ideas and then shooting the episode.
As Vanessa Verduga, creator and star of Justice Woman, puts it: “I think it shows the deep level of respect we have for each other’s creativity and work ethic.”
The seven series taking part in the crossover videos are: Super Knocked Up, Clutch, Pairings, The Bloody Mary Show, Reality on Demand, Justice Woman, and Chop Socky Boom.
Jodie Younse, director and producer of Parings, notes how enjoyable the mash-ups were: “Not only did we enjoy collaborating with other content creators but being able to create these crossover videos is a perfect example of how these shows are ideal for the web. We were able to have two worlds intermix in short vignettes that will hopefully inspire fans of one show to watch the other’s.”
“Fans of our show will find it fun,” adds Marx Hernandez Pyle, creator of Reality On Demand, “and enjoy being introduced to other series with different genres and tones, but the same creative heart.”
Burns hopes to “increase the fan base and views for all our series and for web series in general. That would be awesome because web series rock!”
Verduga totally agrees: “I guess what truly distinguishes them is the camaraderie between the people making these videos. It’s like working with a friend – there was nothing weird about it – it just felt comfortable and it was a ton of fun.”
The Super Mashed Up series starts Tuesday, April 16 with new episodes coming every Tuesday after that.
All episodes will be available to watch at www.youtube.com/SKUWebSeries and the respective channels for the other series.

Just back from LA after four days of an amazing LAWebfest! Super Knocked Up won a Visual Effects Award for our super-cool effects from Season 1. Huge congrats to our Visual Effects Artists Daniel DeFabio and Christopher Vincelette for their kick-ass work.

It really was an incredible week in LA. Jourdy and I got to hang out with so many amazing web series creators, including peeps from Clutch, Chop Socky Boom, Pairings, The Bloody Mary Show, Justice Woman, and Reality on Deman. We shot super-cool cross promo videos with all those shows where Jourdy as her Darkstar character got to interact with characters from the other shows.
