Q & Erik

Q & Erik is a movie-focused questions and answer program hosted by Indy Mogul cofounder Erik Beck.

The episodes answer questions about film-making practices from the program's loyal viewers. The program aims to tackle issues which require only a brief explanation, unlike the topics discussed in depth in other Indy Mogul programs. These often include camera lenses, lighting advice, and instructions on shooting popular scenes such as car chases and romantic kisses.

The program was originally conceived as a short weekly series, but was replaced in 2008 by less frequent, longer episodes. These half-hour episodes are posted to the channel every month. Unlike the original Q & Erik program, the new episodes are recorded live.

Basic controls underneath the player allow browsers to pause and play the clips, adjust their volume, view them in regular or full-screen mode, or share the clips with friends. The videos are shot in high-definition format to maintain quality in full screen mode.

Pausing the clips presents another menu in the player screen. This presents codes for embedding the entire video, or its link, into a personal website. It also features icons which allow fans to easily navigate to other videos in the series.

An episode synopsis is featured underneath the player, while links for sharing the clips with popular social networking sites are to the left. There are also links to download the videos and subscribe to the episode RSS feeds. Viewers are encouraged to share their opinions on each episode by leaving a comment below the clip.
