Resumen

Due to the novelty of the format, web series have been little
studied. To address this gap, this research identifies and compares
the nature, experiences, and practices of professional and
amateur web series filmmakers. Thirty semi-structured interviews
were conducted with Colombian professionals (15) and
amateurs (15) covering 1) their training and experience; 2) their
working practices and routines; 3) their creative processes;
and 4) the financial aspects of their productions (salaries and
budgets). The main findings suggest that web series production
is similar for both types of filmmakers in most of these aspects
and has evolved from both television practices and media
industry logics. Moreover, both groups of filmmakers only innovate
in terms of the technological possibilities and distribution
of their web series, and their creativity is regulated and dependent
on the approval of influential social and industry actors.
