dark, hysterical, behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of a low-rent

"Spike TV is the perfect partner for us to translate the attitude of the
'MoCap, LLC' web series into a hit TV series," said Albie Hecht, CEO/Founder
of Worldwide Biggies and Creator/Executive Producer of "MoCap LLC." "The Web
series has proven to have a large cult following and we are confident Spike's
audience will fall in love with this subversive, smart, yet ridiculous,
comedy."

"As pre-eminent destination for videogames on television with the success of
our weekly series, GameTrailers TV, and the annual Video Game Awards, we see
'MoCap, LLC' as yet another way of super-serving the gaming audience in a
distinct new way," notes Kevin Kay, president, Spike TV.

Like the popular Webisodes, the "MoCap, LLC" television series follows a
documentary crew as they visit the dedicated "artists" that make-up the staff
of MoCap, LLC.  The series focuses on Frank, Jeff and Claire, who provide a
rare glimpse into their sometimes fascinating, occasionally exciting, and
almost never sexy, world of motion capture.  
The TV series stars a cast of established late night television writers and
comedy performers including: 

Chris DeLuca "Frank Claxton" the creator, writer and Co-Executive Producer of
"MoCap, LLC" has written for the Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn, Best Week
Ever, Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson and most recently served as the head
writer for the 2008 Spike Video Game Awards hosted by Jack Black. DeLuca's
recurring guest segment on Fuse's "The Sauce" was based on his blog
"WhatSucksBlog.com". As a stand up comic he has appeared at various clubs in
NYC and can currently be seen in Atom.com's webseries "El Vacio".

Jonathan Gabrus "Jeff Reynolds" is a member of the UCB Theatre house team The
Law Firm. Gabrus has written for IFC, Spike, Heavy.com, and Collegehumor and
has appeared on Late Night with Conan O' Brien, Best Week Ever, Collegehumor
and as a host of Lunchbox on IFC.com. Gabrus can be seen in the upcoming Spike

Kara Klenk "Claire Owens" is a stand up comic, improviser, and actor based in
New York City. Klenk performs stand up comedy at venues all over Manhattan
including Comix, Gotham Comedy Club and Comic Strip Live. She has studied at
the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in NYC and performs improv regularly

Furthering the multi-platform appeal of "MoCap, LLC," Worldwide Biggies has
also developed the companion online game "MoCap Man: Men with Balls" that is
currently available to play at www.mocapllc.com.  "MoCap Man: Men with Balls"
puts players in command of Jeff's motion capture performance by choosing their
method for inflicting pain (weapon, implement, tool) and beating up MoCap Man
in a fast and furious attempt to score points and move up levels.  If players
ease up on the pain, scores will decrease, so keep the attacks coming! As the
levels increase, users will be presented with all-new ways to inflict pain and
suffering. By using the right attack combination, players will be presented
with a "Special Attack" button. Click on the button and sit back and watch the
horror unfold.  Come on.   Beat up a fat guy in a tight blue suit; everyone's
doing it!
