The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Reality on Demand is an American science fiction-comedy web series, created by Marx Hernandez Pyle (Silence of the Belle, Book of Dallas). Pyle is also known as a cinematographer for Star Trek New Voyages and Fight Choreographer for Aidan 5. Writer/director Marx Hernandez Pyle had first announced the series on his column, The IndieNet and Beyond. The online series premiered on Blip.tv on January 18, 2012. A second season is rumored to be in development, but no release date has been announced. Pyle has been quoted as saying he was inspired to come up with web series pilots after interviewing Damian Kindler (Stargate SG-1, Sanctuary (TV series))... "Reality On Demand was born after that interview. I wrote the outline to a TV pilot and plotted out a season arc. After returning to the United States and filming Silence of the Belle, I dusted off the paperwork and modified the story for a more modest budget. I quickly wrote the new one hour pilot and then broke it into smaller episodes for a web series," explained Pyle. The series makes nods to many TV shows, including Supernatural, Grey's Anatomy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lost, Walking Dead, etc. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
