iRiffs

I riff, you riff, everybody can now riff if you want. That's right, those scamps over at Rifftrax have went and introduced their new little venture iRiffs. Basically they are calling on fans of riffing everywhere to produce their own Rifftrax and then they will be sold through the site. All the information's on the page linked to above, basically you need to do a good job of your riffing. There are hints and tips on how to go about writing, recording and doing your artwork for it so that it's a professional little product.

iRiffs goes live in October but until then you can sample some of the premium fan-riff projects being hosted by Rifftrax as a showcase of how the thing will work. Available now are three shorts from Joshway's Fun With Shorts project, of which this is a previous entry:



Riff Raff Theater's attack on the Keanu Reeves "whoah"-fest Speed:



and The Incognito Cinema Warriors XP episode for the Italian take on a favourite tale, Lady Frankenstein.



Supposedly we can expect some sexiness, but given that it's an Italian horror you can bet some bloke disembowels a turtle while someone looses an eye in the background. In fact if it doesn't feature these things it'll be about as Italian as those frozen "Italian Style" pizzas that come from Germany.

Anyway, this is a pretty exciting little thing to come from Rifftrax, and if we here at Splice can stay sober enough, we may have a crack at the classic Irish Tourist Board approved Leprechaun at some point within the next half-decade, maybe.
