The Ghost Whisperer’s The Other Side
Starting today, Ghost Whisperer is launching the first of eight webisodes told through the eyes of a ghost. The show centers around Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt) talking to ghosts and helping them cross over, but the webisodes show what the ghost goes through. The first webisode starts at his death and the final one ends with the earthbound spirit meeting Melinda Gordon in the season finale.
I saw the first two on Tuesday and I was blown away. They are shot in HDTV and they look amazing. Besides looking the amazing the story grabs you and leaves you wanting more. The webisodes are just as good as the above trailer.
Mark Hapka who plays the earthbound spirit is making his webisode and television debut. In fact when he was told that he was going to be on the show, he was so happy he started calling everyone to tell them the news!
Sanders/Moses Productions, who produce Ghost Whisperer are not new to doing webisodes (they worked on the
LOL webisdoes) but this is a first for TV. Never before has a webisode crossed over to a television show.
On Tuesday, I went to the set of Ghost Whisperer and Ian Sanders previewed the webisodes and gave us a tour of the set. What was really interesting about what he had to say is that the producers and writers read the comments online about the show. In fact the laughing man and the brim hat man, were both brought back because of comments mentioned online. So if you have something to say about Ghost Whisperer know they are reading it! Which I think it is interesting. We are the new focus group for shows!
Anyways tune in to
Ghost Whisperer on Fridays on CBS at 8p and go to
Innertube every Friday to see the webisodes!
(I will be doing more on the set visit in the next few days! Thanks to CBS, Ian Sanders and Kim Moses for the set visit and information on the webisodes.)
