Crash Zoom is an animated web series created by Thomas "Tom" Ridgewell, known for creating the popular asdfmovie shorts. Crash Zoom follows three friends who go on many crazy adventures. One is an adventurous teenage girl, the second is an idiotic blond filmmaker, and the third is a small girl with demonic powers. The first episode of the show was uploaded in 2014, but there was also an unreleased pilot created in 2011.

Development

In 2010, around the time Tom was doing voices for his friend's web series, Eddsworld, he decided to use the money he was making on YouTube to create a fully-funded animated web-series. Unlike Eddsworld, which used characters based on real people, he decided to settle on making a show with original characters, and so he came up with Crash Zoom. The strangeness of this title was made fun of in the show's first season finale.

Months later, Tom wrote the script for the pilot, and as described by him, "It just kind of started going wrong over and over again". Tom approached Edgar Neilson (also known as FunyMony on YouTube) and thus the pilot was created.

Availability

The pilot has never surfaced online. No screenshots or footage of it have surfaced. Ridgewell may still have the pilot somewhere, but this is not certain.

On January 30, 2017, the script was found on an AllReadable page.^[1] The pilot has still not surfaced in photo or video form, though.

-In 2006, Thomas "TomSka" Ridgewell was very confident to make his own animated web series. But sadly, he couldn't animate that well. He had the energy to work with Edd Gould (now deceased) for his webtoon, Eddsworld. In 2010, he decided to use the money he was making on YouTube to a fully-funded animated web-series. He didn't know what the show focuses on or if he had to use his friends or original characters. He settled on original characters, and eventually created '''Crash Zoom'''.
