Web scrubs up for dose of drama
Kylie Robertson has launched a new “soap” on the web.
Kylie Robertson leans over her laptop screen and peers into the lives of the characters that mill about in the online world she created for them.
With a click of her mouse, she can access their mobile phone messages, read journals and flip through photo albums that are left scattered about as interactive props in what digital media specialist Robertson, 28, says is Australia’s first locally produced web-based series, Jupiter Green.
Last month’s launch of the 13-episode series is a sign, Robertson says, of things to come. As the internet weaves its way further into our lives, its impact on the way we view our entertainment continues to evolve.
