Totally Random
Totally Random is a web-series and mashup playground for kids where INSANITY RULES!!! It’s an on-line experience where kids can express themselves unfettered by standards and expectations, where creativity, innovation and imagination know no bounds! It’s a gathering place where individual kids become a unique part of a larger community, as each small contribution becomes part of a greater creative whole. Totally Random is a giant canvas with many painters!
Totally Random is a site and webseries, carefully intertwined — a complete digital entertainment package for kids. Through an innovative web experience, the wacky and eccentric site features a huge library of random elements, supplying kids aged 7 to 13 with raw materials like still images, text, audio and video, to help them build the coolest, craziest stuff ever imagined. From these original “seeds”, kids can manipulate, edit, create, and then pass it on. The key to the website is its ability to bring together kids from across the country and around the world as they work on digital creations we like to call SnowBalls.
Here’s how it works: each user grabs a SnowBall in whatever shape they find it. With the clock ticking, they can dress it up and mess it up however they like, then toss it back into the mix so others can do the same. It’s like a snowball rolling downhill, gathering new material at every turn until the original SnowBall becomes a completely new creative element. The coolest, most tagged and innovative SnowBalls move to the top where they’re featured in the Totally Random Web-Series.
Presented by energetic hosts Ryley, Jayden & Mason, these bi-weekly episodes are crazy adventures that mix top tagged SnowBalls with the turmoil of random skits from the cast of TR kids. Every episode provides a showcase for the best user-created content, while setting the stage for the seeds and themes of the next episode’s challenges. We task the audience to come up with cool new content, all the while creating new materials for the kids to use in their next SnowBall. It’s not broadcasting, it’s loopcasting. The content producers and the audience exist in a symbiotic relationship unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
In the Totally Random world, the journey is truly more important than the destination. We want to take the chaos, the anarchy and the unbridled randomness of the youthful mind and give it the showcase it deserves, all while providing the most unique and fun digital experience on the web.
