Many of you may already aware of my obsession with Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along blog, but it’s really something I want to share to those who don’t know what it is or haven’t seen it yet. The show is an internet musical in three acts produced exclusively for the internet during the writer’s strike back in 2007-2008. Joss Whedon, the creator (along with, Zack Whedon, Jed Whedon, and Marissa Tancharoen), funded the production himself and then put it on the internet for free. For me, something like this is extremely inspiring. It shows that art doesn’t have to be about the money; you can make something inspiring and fun for the hell of it. On top of it, they put it out there for free for the fans to enjoy, just because they enjoyed it so much themselves. The best part is that the people who created it are in control of it and can now do as they please with it. They have made a political statement out of it and showed people new possibilities. Hopefully you all will enjoy it as much as I have and maybe be inspired too. I’ve attached first an article about the show and then a link to the first act of the show.
