Halo vs. Call of Duty, Marvel vs. DC, and Game of Thrones vs. Lord of the Rings. From Australian filmmakers, RackaRacka, web series Versus, pits pop culture characters against each other in explosively dynamic action packed battles.
Each video looks to settle the debate of who really is better. Would the magic of the Harry Potter universe beat the sheer force of a Jedi’s lightsaber? Who would come out on top? And just how much carnage would they leave in their wake? Wonder no more, Versus has all the adrenaline packed answers ready for you.
Which three fictional characters would you want on your side in a fight?
Ronald Mcdonald, Hagrid & Detective Park would be the greatest sidekicks to have in ANY situation.
How long have you been making web series for?
We’ve been shooting stuff since we were nine years old, we’ve had our YouTube channel for about two and a half years. We’ve been taking it more seriously since then, and only now have we been giving the means to execute them.
As a content creator, where do you go to find information about other film makers and web series?
IMDB is where it’s at bro!!!
What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome making this series?
The biggest challenge was keep everything under budget, every time we were on set new ideas would pop up and they were impossible to ignore!
How do you reach your audience?
I try to be as interactive as possible through our social medias – Facebook, Instagram & Snapchat.
How do you finance your series?
For the Versus series we were lucky enough to get funding from Screen Australia & SAFC – Money, money, money, here comes the money.
Is your series an ongoing project? If so can you give us some clues about what comes next?
We’re looking into financing a second season of Versus. Let’s just say if it were to actually go ahead, it would be bigger, badder and better than ever before.
Please tell us a quirky and/or interesting fact about yourself or team that’s unrelated to your web series?
I never back up our footage, and recently lost everything that we filmed with Fox and the cast of Deadpool. I’m a doofus.
How many people worked on this project?
We have no idea, we literally lost count!
What was the most difficult challenge you had to overcome in production, and how did you go about it?
Organising all the zombie extras was a pain in the arse, we’ve never had so many people on set before!!
