Those of you who follow the ups and downs of online video may have already heard the news, but the creative team of Rudy Jahchan and Casey McKinnon, creators of Galacticast and A Comic Book Orange, among other work, has parted ways.

The two of them helped raise the level of do-it-yourself special effects and consistently delivered a show that involved tons of long hours, learning new tools, and investing in themselves and their show.

Rudy was very clear that he would continue working on Galacticast, and I'm happy that he's been able to make that happen. Kneel before Zod!

Zadi and I know that they will both find success in their future projects, and we're glad that Galacticast will live on!
