I wanted to do something more to promote my video Make
’ em Squirm: The Sharkbiter Way video. A couple months ago, I split it
up into a dozen or so shorter segments and posted them on YouTube. That didn’t
generate the kind of interest I had hoped for.
This week I decided to pull a small (18-second) clip out of
it and post it on YouTube as a sort of promo: Billionaire
Orville Sharkbiter's plan for election reform. My idea was that people
are more likely to pass along a short clip. Then, I hope, some people would go
to watch the full video. So far, I haven’t had a lot of response to it. I think
I will need to promote it more.
I have started to wonder if my time would be better spent on
a new project rather than promoting an old project.
I began work on my new film Some Days .
. . for the $100 Film Festival. I made it originally for last year’s
festival, but wasn’t happy with the image quality. I went over the materials I
had prepared last year this week. Some of my plan notes had gone astray, so I
had to recreate those. I also fixed problems with some of the images I want to
use.
Some Days . . . is
a very short film, so I won’t need the whole 100’ roll of 16 mm film to shoot
it. I came up with some ideas for shots that I might be able to use in another
film later. Unfortunately, since it snowed last week, and it isn’t likely to
melt away any time soon, I can’t do those shots.
