A Follow-Up on Madness

4/20/2009

Comments

 

I have two things I want to talk about and one of them you probably won't care about.

The thing you will care about is the follow-up on my last post about recycling the old videos.  It turned out to be probably the most discussed blog I've ever written (granted, that does include my reply comments, but still--many thanks to all who commented and shared their thoughts!).

Heather-Maria and Obsquatch came down squarely on the other side of the fence, which was pretty much expected.  Tipp commented much along the same lines, although he managed to put it in a far more convincing way than Heather-Maria and Obsquatch combined.

The best comment, by far, came from Ibrahim who took the time to acknowledge the conflict between the community and commercial aspect of my channel.  Yes, my goal is to utilize youtube to facilitate my productions, but I also want to eventually leverage all of this into a career and that does take a certain level of planning and consideration.

Here's the conclusion I've reached (for now): the youtube channel will act as a repository for videos and nothing will be recycled.  Granted, I will probably delete the occasional video because it's just plain bad or whatever, but what won't happen is the whole deleting and reposting concept.  Instead, I very much like the idea of utilizing playlists and video responses to keep the older content active.

In the news you probably won't care about, I think I've found something of a good rhythm for my creative work.  Don't expect some kind of regular schedule for videos, though, I'm talking about the actual work I put into the productions/

See, with production of the Christopher Mast Story, I pretty much found myself planted in front of the computer sometime in the evening and working into the night, after the girl had gone to bed.  This struck a good balance between work, the personal life, and the creative work.

Now that CMS is done and we're not quite ready to start on the next one, I'm taking the time I spent at night to edit and cut the show together to, well, write the next show.

In other words, instead of scrambling to find time to write new material, I've worked out a convenient amount of allotted time every evening to just sit down and write.

Now, all of my time writing won't be spent on Talking Heads (although, right now I need to bang out the next four episodes ASAP).  For the past few weeks, I've been outlining and jotting down notes for a project called "Destructive Criticism" (a title I lifted from a comment Obsquatch made at some point).  Right now, the project is in the form of a novel, though I can't say for certain that's where it will stay.  I'm writing it much like I would write a script, so I believe the format will be very fast and easy to digest.  The story, I think, will appeal pretty strongly to the youtube crowd.

Josh and Jamie are brothers who write and produce competing shows on youtube (through a jointly-owned and operated production company).  They've both enjoyed a respectable amount of success from their efforts and are about to score the holy grail of internet production start-up financing: a seven-figure sponsorship deal with a up-and-coming energy drink.  On the path to this holy grail, their entire world melts down around them starting with malfunctioning relationships with their significant others and coming full circle when their father--the person who helped them start their production company in the first place--is diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.

Yeah ... and that's pretty much all that I have right now.  I'll keep you posted.
