williams street web cam is boring

Posted by: smeg @ 05/15 2007, 17:23

since my graduation from film school, i have had a few 'dream companies' i wanted to work for.  williams street was at the top of that list, and continues to be my destination of choice.  they are the creators/producers of most of adult swims shows and programming.  so, i joined their online board, and found the live web cam set up in their offices.  


so, the webcam is in this hallway that haas cutouts of their characters, some tables, garbage cans... and thats it.  over the few days i've had it on, i've seen about 4 people walk from one doorway to another.  i'd expect a company with such a dedication to entertainment use an opportunity like a live webcam and do something worth while with it.  i mean, if you did something entertaining enough, eventually you could charge people to access the feed.  at the very least, gain some new viewers for the channel.  i'm going to start sending suggestions to the company on possible ideas for adding some fun to the webcam.  i'm open to suggestions, and my list will grow over time, but here are a few i came up with:

1. put a mandatory use slip and slide in the hallway.

2. create theme days where the employees must dress up (ie. superhero day, embarrassing medical condition day, cliché day, etc..).  at some point do a catwalk fashion show in that hall.

3. make the interns have embarrassing competitions in the hall.

4. a bobble head in front of a fan for 20 mins, then change the bobble head.

5. post a question on a chalk board in the hall, and have viewers send in answers.  use the best answers in a coffee table book that comes out once a year, or create a monthly comic book whose adventures are based on the answers.

6. wind up toys that go through small openings in the wall.


okay, comment with any suggestions.  hopefully i can get something good going.

7. ritualistic human sacrifices every hour on the hour... wait, did I say ritualistic human sacrifices because I meant ritualistic human sacrifices.

8. a motion sensor on the camera releases a giant indiana jones boulder that chases the intern down the hall

9. (placed in front of the camera by a man in a unitard with a ski mask on) a sign that's says "you'll regret what you did larry" taped to a knife stuck in a mannequin with a raincoat on

10. for that matter, the movie mannequin playing on a 13" tv sitting on a barstool... 27 hours a day for a month straight.

11. a sock full of quarters sittting on a copy of the canadian constitution hosts a talk show where freshly rehabbed teen celebrities come on and try to convince america they are still "america's sweethearts"... the sock looks back at them unimpressed and unconvinced throughout.
