Annoying Orange on a Budget
I was searching recently for the cost of making a reality show. It seems per episode, the cost can range from $100,000 to a million dollars. Then I wondered if that model needs some desperate “belt tightening.” Heck even Annoying Orange can be created for less than $100,000. In the satire I did with my…
YouTube 5.0 Begins

Annoying Orange’s “Hey Apple” Creator
Meet Daneboe of Gagfilms, creator of the extremely popular “Annoying Orange” series. I interviewed him remotely in late 2007 for Metacafe Unfiltered, a short-lived “behind the scenes of popular creators.” Since he was in Florida, Freddy Nager suggested we do a homage to his popular “screaming eggs” video. So when I saw his recent Superbowl…
