Bright Red Pixels

Bright Red Pixels developed the web and social media components for this web-based CBS reality show. We built a groundbreaking interactive map application that empowers users to interact with host Jeff Schroeder in real-time anywhere in the world. We also developed the Facebook game Hometown Challenge, where users earn points and badges for correctly identifying their friends' hometowns in a map based game interface.

Bright Red Pixels created and currently produces TV in a Flash, tv.com's weekly primetime recap show. Blending "tv geek" with "web chic," host Julie Alexandria (MTV/Versus/SNY) runs down the bests clips of the week throughout the television season. Distributed across the web, CBS Radio, and the video screens in Times Square, this ongoing series has generated millions of views and brand impressions. Along with the show, Bright Red developed a twitter poll web app that allows users to vote in a weekly poll and seamlessly publish comments to their Twitter feed. Our show feed, @tvinaflash, is now one of the top resources for news and conversation around all things TV on Twitter.

Bright Red created Wallstrip, one of the great hit shows of the web video revolution. The comedic finance webshow blended stock culture and pop culture with daily episodes ranging from studio segments to SNL-style skits. We produced more than 800 episodes over three years. In 2007, CBS acquired Wallstrip, making it the first web video property to be purchased by a major media company.
