What if fictional characters could react to real-world content...

and your brand was part of the show?

That’s exactly what’s happening in Signal from Earth, the animated web series I’m creating. In this show, aliens watch Earth’s internet like a never-ending TV show turning our memes, satire, and creator culture into a lively, ever-changing narrative.

It’s more than just entertainment. It’s a new kind of stage where real-world creators, brands, and culture clash.

Picture your brand showing up in their offbeat chats, sparking random debates that keep people watching

At first, I wasn’t sure if this idea would work. But after I dropped the first short on YouTube, I immediately realized what I was up against… I got roasted by my own characters for not posting in ages! Hey, I was busy making something fun… guess they didn’t care.

Then an other let down...

I had designed ByteBot, this kind of AI-driven robot, and I thought it would be well-organized and a helpful assistant aboard the ship.

But no, apparently that robot is watching very questionable cartoons on YouTube. And honestly, I didn’t plan any of that…

Look at this and tell me if you think this is the kind of thing a robot is supposed to watch… I don’t think so! Times have changed, and we’d better get with it.

But let’s not despair…

Capthec and Bytebot do make sense sometimes. The following bit of conversation was recorded, apparently talking about human environmental issues. I guess it’s more useful than making fun of my posting habits… see for yourself:

ByteBot reflects on the bizarre ways humans poison themselves. Not that funny, but at least that comment makes sense.

Oh, and if these two characters are too annoying for you, and you want to know how I got into this mess in the first place, there’s art and DaVinci Resolve tutorials that explain a bit:

I’ll update this post later, because this whole thing got me confused… I lost myself—or maybe there was never a self in the first place.

👇 Curious how this format could evolve across media and marketing.
