Some Hades/Persephone Content I Think is Neat:

(In no particular order):

1. Punderworld: A beautiful illustrated WEBTOON that also tells the story of Hades, Persephone, and Demeter but in its own interesting funky way. I’m sure that most of the LO fandom has already heard about and read Punderworld but if you haven’t I sincerely ask that you give it ago, it’s just as well written and illustrated as LO so I recommend it!

2. Persephone: Hades’ Torment by Allison Shaw:

(18+ on this one) This take on the Persephone/Hades myth is a bit more mature (content wise) than the first entry. Obviously it retreads the myth in its own way once again, but the art work is gorgeous. The more mature content happens towards the end and that’s all I’ll say about that. This book is about $8.99 on Kindle and $28.01 in paperback so whatever you choose support the artist!

3. Animated Tales of The World: The Myth of Persephone:

Now this one is probably cheating but it’s so interesting to me that I had to put it on the list. This entry is a stop motion retelling of the myth, while it doesn’t exactly tread new ground it is a work of art in its own right.

Though please note that this series was an anthology series geared towards children, so it’s not 100% myth aligned (then again none of these are). If you’re not a fan of stop motion or it makes you uncomfortable I completely understand. But for anyone else that’s interested I’ll have the link here for it (I recently found a better quality video on Vimeo so here’s the link below!):

4. The Goddess of Spring (1934):

So this one is also a cheat, this 9 minute animation is mostly Persephone focused (well as close to Persephone as this gets) .This is during that stretchy rubber hose phase of animation in Disney so there’s that. But the music is charming and the visuals have that painted classic feel to it (at least to me).

Although this entry barely makes it for me due to the portrayal of Hades (which slots him in as a devilish figure rather than anything close to the myths). I read somewhere that this animation was a prototype for Snow White and an animation study for how animated humans should move/be animated. Look it up if you’re interested it seems like an interesting story.

So if you find early animation like this charming and enjoy painting-like visuals and don’t mind how Hades is portrayed then here’s the link. (since it’s old this is the best quality I could find in English ): https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x35aspw

dailymotion

5. Hooked on Chthonics:

Okay so this is a reaaaal stretch for this list, but still one I enjoyed. This series is one that takes place primarily in the Underworld and follows the deathless chthonic gods. (So far) it’s an episodic light hearted read and definitely worth your attention.

6. Miscellaneous Myths: Hades and Persephone by Overly Sarcastic Productions

So this entry isn’t a story about P/H per say, but is instead an analysis of the myth and Persephone/Demeters origins as goddesses and how their characteristics, names, powers, etc. changed over time. I have been a fan of Overly Sarcastic Productions for years now and I find their retelling as/myth related content to be thoroughly well researched (and hilariously animated). So if you’ve never heard of them or haven’t watched their videos, I recommend you give them a chance!

Link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac5ksZTvZN8&vl=en

7. Hell Sweet Hell by Artcraawl

Another WEBTOON! This one only has three episodes so far at the time of writing, but the art is absolutely beautiful and the slice of life antics are cute. The author has an insta of the same name (artcraawl) with phenomenal art so I recommend reading the comic and following the artist!

——————————————————————

That’s all for now, as time goes on and I watch/read more P/H content I’ll expand this list! ✨✨✨

mechanisms basics & lore

welcome to my updated mechanisms intro post! this post will cover both the topics discussed in my mechanisms basics post, which is geared towards people who don’t know what the mechanisms are, and my deep lore post, which aimed to be a comprehensive compilation of all the important character and world lore. this post should serve the above group, but it’s geared towards people who have listened but feel there’s a lot of lore that seems to be common knowledge they’re missing. we’ll start out with a basic introduction, and then go into crew lore and a semi-comprehensive guide on where to go for further information.

basics

the mechanisms were a steampunk concept band, known for their queer representation and their tragic stories. they are no longer together, their last performance being january 2020, but several of their members are still creating related spinoff content.

they follow the trope many steampunk bands do, which is albums that tell a story; think similar to listening to a musical soundtrack, but geared to a visual-less experience. what distinguishes them is 1) narration tracks between each song, making the plot very easy to follow, and 2) being meant to be watched live, meaning there’s layers of meta that are more easily understood by watching recorded gigs rather than studio recordings of albums. specifically, there’s a focus on the narrators, known as the mechanisms or the crew of the aurora, who are immortal space pirates telling the stories and occasionally inserting themselves into them. though they are tragic figures themselves, their banter serves the purpose of bringing a lightheartedness and dark humor to the stories. if there’s an aspect of the lore you’re confused on, it’s probably related to the narrators!

to watch the mechanisms live, you can find recordings on youtube, dropbox, google drive, soundcloud, or vimeo, which are all compiled in this post (including transcripts!). if visuals aren’t your thing, i’ve linked the studio recordings later on in this post when they come up, and here are the mechanisms’ official spotify, bandcamp, and youtube, as well as an unofficial comprehensive lyric videos channel.

the albums

regarding the albums specifically, there are 4 main ones (once upon a time (in space), ulysses dies at dawn, high noon over camelot, and the bifrost incident), 2 that are compilations of miscellaneous songs (tales to be told 1 & 2), 1 single (frankenstein), and 1 album that’s a high-quality recording of their last live show, including an alternative performance of the bifrost incident, 2 songs only performed at live shows, and 'the deathsong’, which details how they all eventually die (death to the mechanisms).

as you might have been able to tell from the titles, they’re all based off of various myths, folklore, literature, and/or fairy tales, using different genres on top of a sci-fi setting to add a fresh twist to them! for example, high noon over camelot is a western based on arthurian mythos, set on a space station. (the albums are known for all ending in tragedy, so be careful if that isn’t your cup of tea!) if your goal is to get into the mechanisms, i’d suggest sitting down and listening to them all in full; links will be provided below, or alternatively you can watch once upon a time (in space) live here, ulysses dies at dawn live here, or the bifrost incident live here. (there is no full live recording with visuals of high noon over camelot, sadly, but there are partial and audio only recordings.)

once upon a time (in space) - spotify/bandcamp/youtube

ulysses dies at dawn - spotify/bandcamp/youtube

high noon over camelot - spotify/bandcamp/youtube

the bifrost incident - spotify/bandcamp/youtube

tales to be told, volume 1 - spotify/bandcamp/youtube

tales to be told, volume 2 - spotify/bandcamp/youtube

frankenstein - spotify/bandcamp/youtube

death to the mechanisms - edited video with the stream corruption fixed + subtitles / stream / spotify / bandcamp / youtube / transcript pt. 1 / transcript pt. 2

reading the fiction is integral to understanding both the albums and the mechanisms themselves. the fiction is a collection of short stories set in the mechanisms universe posted on their website here and compiled by me here, with an extra high noon over camelot story here. (there are also audio versions for ‘mirror mirror’ and ‘a rebel yell’ included on both the website and the compilation).

the crew of the aurora

as for the crew, at their peak there were nine members played by people, as well as the ex-member dr carmilla, who has extensive solo lore and is still active (which we’ll touch on in a few paragraphs). there is also their ship, the aurora, who is sentient and has her own lore. in fact, every member of the crew has their own backstory, set in a different genre or historical period; for example, nastya rasputina's is historical, jonny d’ville’s is a western and marius von raum’s is a mecha anime. however, they’re all still different flavors of steampunk! below, i’ll list each member, their performer, and the main sources of lore about them. for the majority of them, they have their own song in tales to be told, but there are a few outliers. everyone also has their own bio up on the website, which can all be found here.

the aurora (n/a, ship)- on aurora (meta)

jonny d’ville (jonny sims)- one eyed jacks (song), jonny before he was mechanized (meta)

nastya rasputina (anonymous)- cyberian demons (song)

ivy alexandria (morgan wilkinson)- archive footage (fiction), crew bio

ashes o’reilly (frank voss)- lucky sevens (song)

drumbot brian (ben below)- lost in the cosmos (song), crew bio

the toy soldier (jessica law)- the story of the toy soldier (fiction)

gunpowder tim (tim ledsam)- gunpowder tim vs the moon kaiser (song/minialbum)

marius von raum (kofi young)- the death of byron von raum summary (blog post)

raphaella la cognizi (r l hughes)- crew bio

if you’ve noticed the crew bio doesn’t say much about raphaella, that’s because we know little to nothing about her backstory. the only thing we have to go on is a quote from the tv tropes page, which looking at the edit history, was likely written by one of the mechanisms. the quote is ‘Science officer who may or may not have cheated her way onto the ship after becoming a little too interested.‘ and the page is here.

the majority of fandom content is about the crew, working off of what we get from the tales to be told songs, the live gigs, and the fiction.

dr carmilla

speaking of characters with obscure lore, let’s talk about dr carmilla! rather than linger, i’ll just link my carmilla basics post, which is a comprehensive summary of who she is in and out of universe. to summarize, she’s a character based on the novella ‘carmilla’ by sheridan le fanu, commonly regarded as the first vampire novel, but her lore has diverged heavily from that original starting point since then. she is the oldest out of all of the crew, and made the majority of the other crew members immortal. she, as well as aurora, is from a planet called terra, which was destroyed partially as a result of her actions. her character is defined by her immortality and how she deals with it, her experiences on terra, her relationship with the mechanisms, and her dysfunctional relationship with her ex-girlfriend loreli, the last of which is the most covered by her songs. out of universe, she is played by maki yamazaki. all her lore lines up with what happened out of universe, and ties to the fact the mechanisms were originally dr carmilla and the mechanisms. she has two solo albums and two singles, which i’ll link below.

ageha (prototype edition) (album)- bandcamp | youtube

exhumed and {un}plugged (album)- bandcamp | youtube

the city {nex:type mix} (single, in-character cover)- bandcamp | youtube

eleven (single)- bandcamp | youtube

the majority of her lore is still to be officially revealed, and will be in the trilogy of albums maki yamazaki is working on.

further reading

if you’d like to delve further into the lore, there are a few sources i use! there are official, in-character, blogs, as well as things that are harder to dredge up; i won’t link them here, but some sources include @/thedreadvampy (the band’s artist, as well as morgan wilkinson’s sister and kofi young’s partner; don’t bother her for lore or anything, but she’s previously made posts sharing previously unknown information), old websites and deleted content found on the wayback machine, the tv tropes pages, and most notably the lore doc.

the ‘maki forbidden lore doc’ is an archive of all the lore maki yamazaki has shared on the mechscord, the official mechanisms discord which she’s on, and her own personal server, where she’s running an arg (alternate reality game) as a way of relaying more lore about the dr carmilla universe. for an idea of the scale, the doc is currently 91 pages and 28346 words, and recontextualizes much of what is known about dr carmilla and maki’s canon of the mechanisms universe. it is confidential to anyone not in her discord or the mechscord, as she’s said that this lore isn’t thought out nearly as much as the albums and is subject to change, so she’d rather it not be out in the open. however, information on how to join the mechscord can be found here. there is also a non-canonical fan project based on the arg in progress, but information on it is also confidential for now.

with regards to the above phrase ‘maki’s canon’ it’s worth noting that all of the individual band members have their own idea of what counts as canon and what doesn’t, and as you foray deeper into lore that division becomes more and more apparent.

with that, here are the mechanisms’ blogs. they are all both run in-character by the main nine band members and inactive unless i note otherwise.

twitter

tumblr

facebook

website/wordpress (run ic by tereshkova’s ghost, the blogbot, for the most part)

carmilla twitter (active, run ic by dr carmilla)

conclusion

now that we’re coming to the end of this, i’d like to thank whoever got this far, and to say a few words. my interest in the mechanisms has been slowly fading, and i’ve been writing less and less meta and lapsing in keeping up with new lore myself. honestly, i’m pretty worn out by how much i’ve done on this blog and in this fandom, and the commitments i’ve assigned myself. i do have plans for future meta, but it’s unlikely they’ll come to fruition. so, i thought i’d do a new version of my two oldest posts on this blog, and hopefully enable other people to look into the lore and theorize themselves with the new information.

to find more information, remember there’s a mechanisms wiki, and that my askbox is always open.

thanks for reading!

DSA: Direct Selling and the Virtual Push because of COVID

“ Like most people, direct selling executives are crossing out travel and large in-person gatherings from their calendars. For an industry known for its relational appeal, eliminating the face-to-face factor should be crushing. But instead, many executives are reporting that they feel more connected to their teams than ever before and are experiencing record engagement.”

“I’ve been involved in more field events in the last two months than I have been since I started the company in 2014,” says MONAT President Stuart MacMillan. Connecting virtually has become part of the daily workflow for MacMillan and many direct selling executives like him, as their teams and distributors take part in trainings while experiencing the benefits of connecting from home for both small- and large-scale events. “I still don’t believe there’s any replacement for face-to-face, and our people are itching to get back together—both employees and the field,” MacMillan says. “But I think what we’ve learned is that between those opportunities to get together, there are better ways to do this.”

Increasing Engagement with Function and Fun

This shift to virtual has opened the event doors wider, allowing people who would normally be limited by family obligations or financial flexibility to participate. For SeneGence Founder and CEO Joni Rogers-Kante, virtual events have drastically impacted the company’s attendance numbers. “Only a percentage of distributors go to our events, and ours was never a huge percentage,” Rogers-Kante says. “But we have five times more distributors than we have ever had at a single seminar because it was online, and they just got to sit down and login.”

The SeneGence virtual event sought to emulate a lot of the function—as well as fun—of a live event by passing out virtual awards that instantly appeared across social media channels as names were announced, conducting drawings and shipping prizes to distributors’ houses. While their next company-wide in-person event has been postponed, the SeneGence team is already implementing plans for a conference that will take place in Tulsa. “We think it will be the largest event we’ve ever had because people are so excited to get back together, and we have so many new distributors who can’t wait to actually physically show up at a SeneGence event. We just know it’s going to blow everything we’ve done out of the water.”

“We have five times more distributors than we have ever had at a single seminar because it was online, and they just got to sit down and login.”—Joni Rogers-Kante, SeneGence Founder & CEO

10 Cents on the Dollar, 10 Times the Reach

Twenty-four hours after a recent Mannatech virtual live event, the entire 12-hour event was available for replay. The 6,500 unique visitors, representing a ballpark of 8,000 to 12,000 viewers who watched the virtual event live, quickly multiplied as people shared the content and participated after the event had ended. A traditional Mannatech event hosts 1,200 to 1,500 people.

“For one-tenth of the expense, we were able to connect with six to ten times the number of people we would have connected with,” says Mannatech CEO and President Al Bala. And although event product sales were one-third of the normal amount, Bala says it was offset by the savings in product transport to the event and the convenience of shipping it directly to consumers’ homes. “It was more efficient and definitely more profitable sales than we would have had normally.”

“Even though we aren’t all together, we see you!”

“Going virtual” has a simple ring to it, but executives in the driver’s seat know the challenging behind-the-scenes experience of sifting through broadcasting options and platforms. Arbonne, who planned to launch 13 new products at their live convention this year, suddenly had only a fraction of their usual preparation time to devise communication strategies that would build excitement while playing well through the screen. Social media, which has always assumed a role at Arbonne events, was now critical, and the company leaned hard into these social integrations. To allow the executive team space to focus on engaging with attendees through the chat function, much of the content was prerecorded.

“Virtual GTC 2020 was created in about four weeks, and because of the incredibly pressing deadline, we absolutely learned as we went,” says Arbonne Senior Director of Communications Kristen Gruber. Gruber’s social media team developed teasers, quizzes and other interactive content that posted throughout the event. “This provided a level of engagement to our audience to really say, ‘Even though we aren’t all together, we see you!’”

Despite the fog of uncertainty during the first few weeks of the stay at home orders, LegalShield dove headfirst into creating virtual experiences and may have been the first direct sales company in North America to pivot to an entirely live-streamed international convention on April 4. When it became clear that their planned live event would not take place, the company transformed the auditorium in their Oklahoma headquarters into a full studio with only three weeks’ lead time. From there, they offered 16 hours of training content and recognition from over 40 field leaders and live hosts to more than 10,000 viewers. In addition, more than 5,000 associates joined their two-day Zoom Breakout Trainings before the larger event.

“For one-tenth of the expense, we were able to connect with six to ten times the number of people we would have connected with.”— Mannatech CEO & President Al Bala.

“Our field leaders are extremely creative in using Zoom as a recruiting and training platform,” says LegalShield Network Division President Don Thompson. “They use breakout rooms to host associates and their guests after a presentation for a Q&A session and for associate interaction.”

To not only survive, but thrive in this unprecedented environment, LegalShield’s CEO Jeff Bell has cast a vision for the company as a “digital disruptor” who uses technology to fulfill their company’s mission. The focus for the company is not on their limitations, but rather on how they can innovate and improve and use the tools available to spread their message and keep the field engaged and excited. “We are not at the level of Netflix or CBS,” Bell says, “but we are getting smarter and more successful in producing engaging content.”

As companies expand their live-streams to their international markets, the existing cultural and language barriers will have to be considered. Elepreneurs Chief Impact Officer Garrett McGrath, who also serves as President of the Association of Network Marketing Professionals, is watching as these virtual events begin to take shape on a global, multi-lingual scale. Although these broader events are more complex, McGrath is encouraged by the existing platforms that can do the heavy lifting for the direct sales industry.

Vimeo, a tool the ANMP relies on for its broadcasts, is paired with remote translators who use the Interactio app—which McGrath describes as a flawless application—to tap into the livestream and recreate the content in their listeners’ language.

“All you have to have is a good originating broadcast quality, and that becomes the place from where everybody views the actual convention, even though we’re bringing people in from all over the world,” McGrath says.

Caution: Challenges Ahead

Everyone is more than eager to get back to normal and industry leaders are at the front of the line, hurriedly trying to recreate their office environment from thousands of satellite home offices scattered across the globe where their leaders live and now work. But as the world has quickly discovered, working separately but together has come with its own set of unique challenges, and large virtual events are not immune to these foibles.

Security has been a hot topic for Zoom users (LegalShield reported instances of “Zoom Bombers” during their first few training sessions before password protections halted any further disruptions), but for other, more complex broadcasting platforms, hacking isn’t as much of a concern. The security concern, according to Katapult Events President Erik Johnson, should be privacy. “I wouldn’t put anything out on a stream that you wouldn’t want the world to see,” Johnson says. “Someone at home is likely recording it whether you want them to or not, and it’ll be on YouTube by the end of the day.” For companies who live and die by FTC compliance, it’s a stern warning for leaders. Even if a distributor thinks they’re in a private virtual room with only top-tier leaders, there is great potential that their words will become public.

“Our field leaders are extremely creative in using Zoom as a recruiting and training platform. They use breakout rooms to host associates and their guests after a presentation for a Q&A session and for associate interaction.”— LegalShield Network Division President Don Thompson.

There will also be a fluency issue for older distributors who aren’t used to virtual interactions and for whom these new changes will require a steep learning curve. “I feel sorry for companies that are older and already have their culture set in stone because they’re going to have to switch at some point to this,” RevitalU CEO Andrew McWilliams says.

Even though virtual events are notoriously less expensive than their in-person counterparts, going too cheap can be very obvious. “A lot of people think they can just hop on Zoom and be fine,” says Johnson, who now produces SeneGence’s virtual events. The result of a frugal presentation, however, is fuzzy resolution, glitchy streaming and a visible mouse pointer on shared screens—not the high-quality presentation multimillion- and multibillion-dollar brands should attach their names to.

For the April SeneGence virtual event, Johnson utilized Vimeo for live streaming at the Enterprise level and set up studios at the Oklahoma and California SeneGence offices. With his crew and all of their gear at both locations, they connected the two offices live on camera for a high def broadcast that looked like prime time tv.

As physical events reemerge in the months to come, Johnson warns that virtual events should never be just a recorded version of the live event. Instead, he encourages leaders to plan for physical and virtual hybrids. For example, his crew is building a side stage that is reminiscent of the ESPN Sports Desk for the host of the virtual watch party at one of his client’s upcoming in-person events. Even though one large event will be happening, two different audiences with different attention spans will be watching. By having a dedicated host, he’ll be able to accommodate both.

Facebook Live Fright

As leaders who are used to delivering speeches from stages in loud rooms begin broadcasting from their kitchen table or home office to an audience they can’t see, they’re discovering that stage fright and Facebook Live fright are two different fears and require two different skill sets.

McGrath described his feelings about hosting an eight-hour live event as somewhere between nerve-wracking and exciting. He and wife Sylvia, Elepreneurs Chief Experience Officer, introduced live speakers and announced prerecorded segments and then watched comments and emojis unfold in real-time over an eight-hour stretch.

The stamina required to create these engaging content segments back-to-back for that length of time is similar to expecting sprints in the middle of a marathon. “The biggest concern you always have is: can you keep people’s attention for 12 and a half hours?” Bala says.

But it’s not just the audience’s attention that leaders are concerned about. “I don’t think you can underestimate what it does to the speaker’s energy to talk to a crowd,” Bala says. “When you’re a speaker, it engages you at a different level. You can’t replicate that virtually.”

An Attention Shift

Change can be a dirty word in an industry rooted in tradition, and that’s why McWilliams is choosing to embrace this time of disruption. As people readily accept digital platforms out of necessity, McWilliams says this temporary shift to virtual will now be permanent for his young organization. “I’m never going back,” he says. “It has been the most cost-effective thing we’ve ever done.” In April, RevitalU experienced double-digit percentage growth over March. After their first major virtual event on May 2, the company was up almost 55 percent over April by May 7. “It does not feel like a blip on a radar screen,” he says. “What it feels like is a shift of attention.”

These live virtual events with openly visible comment boxes bring with them a lack of control, but the effect, McGrath says, is unparalleled. “We were very aware that people don’t want a presentation; they want a conversation,” he says. “There’s a risk with a conversation because you don’t know what the other person is going to say, but that’s why people show up: because it hasn’t gone through the corporate whitewash and hasn’t been overly sanitized. It’s spontaneous and real.”

“We were very aware that people don’t want a presentation; they want a conversation.”– Garrett McGrath, Elepreneurs Chief Experience Officer

In the short term, physical events aren’t possible, but even when the restrictions from the global pandemic are lifted, some executives are expecting a slow return as people remain gun-shy about close social interaction and even handshakes. McGrath says the question of when things will go back to normal is the wrong question. “The real question is, between now and then, can we document a plan that people can rely on as proven to work today?”

Is Virtual Really a Success?

There is no industry-wide metric for success when it comes to this new switch to virtual. Still, as many leaders face pent up demand and anxiety swirling around the new normal that has been thrust upon them, the measurement for success will depend upon each company’s specific goals and missions.

For affiliate-focused companies, comment engagement on a Facebook Live event could provide a gauge for distributor reach. Many executives are now reporting a sharp increase in sales during and after virtual events—when distributors would usually be socializing or traveling home—and are using that as their new benchmark for success.

Virtual can’t mimic the adrenaline rush of a packed arena, but industry leaders are approaching this new playing field with cautious optimism. For now, there is convincing emerging data that pivoting to virtual is doing little to harm the health of direct selling companies, and might actually be making a once-in-a-lifetime paradigm shift that offers a glimpse into where the future of the industry might be headed.

“This is here to stay,” Bala says. “It’s just going to become another tool in our toolbox to create that engagement with our associates and for associates to create engagement among themselves.” DSN

VirBELA: The New Virtual Headquarters

Virtual events may be booming, but it will be finding ways to digitally recreate the ordinary daily interactions that will be key for direct selling to weather this storm of isolation and uncertainty. RevitalU has found its solution through VirBELA, a technology platform that allows companies to create a virtual headquarters. With VirBELA, people can come together formally for events, like a conference room where they’ll hear keynote speakers, as well as informally, like in virtual hallways between sessions where they can start up casual conversations.

Through avatars and multi-dimensional rooms, users can interact digitally in a personal way that doesn’t create the Zoom fatigue that comes with endless video chats. “It gives you autonomy to interact with whom you want to interact with and go where you want to go,” says VirBELA Founder and President Alex Howland, Ph.D. “When you read a book, you’re not paying attention to the black and white words or pages; you’re getting immersed into the book. The same thing happens with VirBELA. Your brain starts to feel like you’re physically in the room with colleagues.

Glenn Sanford, eXp Realty Founder and CEO, has been using VirBELA as his company’s virtual campus since 2016. During that time, he grew his number of agents from 900 to 29,000 from the virtual headquarters that he mans from the casita over his garage. In April of this year, his success with the virtual platform led him to join the VirBELA team as the company’s Chief Strategy Officer so that he could extend his knowledge and experience with simulated campuses to other business leaders navigating these unprecedented waters.

Sanford offered advice to McWilliams, one of the newest CEOs to become an adopter of the VirBELA technology, by explaining that the simulated campus will only work if McWilliams insists that people meet him in his virtual Planet RevitalU office, rather than picking up the phone. “We have an office, and I don’t care if it opens back up,” McWilliams says. “We’re going to make the physical office voluntary. For our business practices and working together, it’s going to be done online.”

Virtual Event Tips

Take your virtual event to the next level with these tips from production expert and consultant to the direct selling industry, Erik Johnson of Katapult Events.

“How good your first event is will determine if they buy your next.” — Erik Johnson, Katapult Events President

Forget Zoom. Use Vimeo to live stream.

Prerecording some content eliminates the potential for user error, streamlines transitions and trims the boring out of stories.

Use permissions to put events and event extras behind paywalls or passwords. Erik uses Phinkific.com to preserve special VIP treatments, like a Q&A with the keynote speaker, for specific distributor ranks and above.

Hire a professional. Picture-in-picture, title animation and HD screen shares matter.

Show others what they’re missing. Even if you’re charging for a virtual event, share a short segment onto Facebook Live for things like new product announcements. At the end of the segment, offer viewers the opportunity to buy access to the rest of the event. It’s a double bang for your production buck and a quick upsell.

Everything has to be faster. What might have taken you four minutes to say on a live stage, should take you 90 seconds when speaking to a virtual audience.

Shoot with two cameras. A simple wide shot and a close up will give your broadcast movement and will be more likely to hold attention.

A high-quality mic is just as important as good video. If they can’t hear you well, they will leave.

Don’t be afraid to hire an outside emcee. Professional talent can take your event from stagnant to funny, drive the energy of the show, and be in charge of throwing it to different hosts—chief executives, distributors—to keep the show moving.

Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse. Get rid of the extra stuttering and “um” sounds and give your team the chance to feel the flow of the event.

Double-dip your filming days. When broadcasting virtual events, you’ll likely have the members of your executive teams and an elaborate, staffed studio all in one place. Use this opportunity to film upcoming product launches, expand your expert interviews and update your opportunity presentation.

Five Ways to Simplify Your Pivot to Virtual

Don’t confuse virtual with automated. Even though there are no smoke machines and spotlights, this is not a set-it-and-forget-it type of environment. Building an interactive experience is key to getting virtual events right.

Prepare your team. Expect worst-case scenarios and plan how they’ll be addressed on the spot to protect your brand.

Choose your comment comfort level. Instantly visible, unfiltered feedback may complement the tone of a keynote address, or it might exacerbate the awkwardness of lackluster attendance. Pick an audience participation level that matches the event vibe.

Tap into existing partner platforms. Seamlessly charge registration for large events and automatically capture potential customer contact information. (Eventbrite, PayPal, Pardot and HubSpot are good leads for these functions)

Deliver an in-person experience. Pick two or three elements of your usual in-person events that can be creatively replicated while apart. If distributors have come to expect a lavish lunch break at events, send restaurant or food delivery gift cards to registrants ahead of time. These small gestures will build community while making a memorable impact.

Daily Motion offers some of the top content online. This includes TV shows from all over the world..

I recently came across this amazing site - DailyMotion.com and Daily for the shorter and friendly version. Of course, I've known about this website for a long time, but it used to be just one of the three most popular video websites at the time when video was just beginning to take off in the beginning - Youtube, Vimeo and Dailymotion. You can see that it is a hub for the best content online. Have a look at this site with me and you'll agree that Daily should be one of the top websites to check out every single day. Yes, I resisted from using the daily feature twice due to a sloppy pun. These are the features you should be looking for when visiting Daily Motion. It's first and foremost full of live news broadcasts, anything that's not mainstream, C.Span kind of broadcasts, it all ends at DailyMotion. Most of the popular journalist work is displayed on the main page, so mush that actually could mean that they're trying to promote the political aspects of the website, ever since Periscope is gone and Twitter has been trying to keep the political live streams to the far reaches of the woods. But their current slogan Dailymotion: The best place for videos mattering isn't a reference to politics. Although my funny videos of cats are great, you can also see reports on shootings in recent weeks and other life-changing stuff that makes it appear as if Daily is now a major political magazine. There are a lot of sports shows and shows, which don't just discuss them and broadcasts of every kind all over the world. These are usually in poor video quality, but yet nevertheless if you watch on mobile - it's quite great, and everyone in the world's watching on mobile.. youtube downloader The quality of the video is generally acceptable, and mobile looks fine or extremely perfect 4K HDR and it's way too much for mobile and requires a new TV that is the size of a the dining table to watch every video detail on the screen. If I come across a lengthy broadcast like this, I typically save it to my PC by using this online converter application. This allows me to select between various quality options as well as the video format. It's saved as an mp4 file on my computer, which I later transfer to my smartphone. I now have an 1.5-hour soccer match to watch as I travel to work.

Dailymotion is also extensively used by major corporations such as CNN, BBC and other news websites across the Internet. They run their channels in the United States too however, I think it is easier in their situation. They just take the videos from their live broadcasts or live streams on websites and place it on Youtube. Then, they post it on all other major channels. Daily Motion is among the latter. There's even sad Ted Cruz face displayed on CNN International's Dailymotion Page. It's clear they're laughing a lot. There's even a section dedicated to Billboard videos. They are from Planet Hollywood, etc. and are full of new music, chart-topping tracks, and the most popular artists. It is also possible to argue that they are copying their Youtube channels onto Daily motion. Finally, Dailymotion is chock full of TV shows and episodes from all over the world. I'm not sure how to locate their playlists or collections of episodes from same show, but perhaps Google could help with that because it's a search engine after all. But, occasionally, I come across links that direct me to Dailymotion pages. Dailymotion has episodes from India (Argentina), Korea as well as many different countries. It's amazing how much content you can find on Dailymotion. Search the site to locate your preferred TV show. Big Brother Canada You can look up the show on Google and locate more than 300 episodes to stream or view on Dailymotion. In such situations I use the site again, and save a few episodes to my smartphone and watch them on my way to travel. The video quality isn’t always excellent, but it is fantastically! I will see you there Daily!

Follow me: mikeolbinski.com / twitter.com/mikeolbinski / facebook.com/mikeolbinskiphotography / instagram.com/mikeolbinski BTS Footage: youtube.com/user/MikeOlbinski/videos (Subscribe!) ---------------------------

Blood. Sweat. Tears. Joy. That's what this spring was for me. The miles, the grind, the failing, the epic days missed, the lack of sleep, the jubilation, the friendships strengthened, and the time away from my family. And when the chasing was all done...wondering, was worth it all?

Heck yeah it was.

I had three goals this spring: Get a tornado on time-lapse, capture the best footage I possibly could, and chase as much as my schedule would allow. That ended up totalling 18 chase days. 20,000 miles driven. Almost 60,000 time-lapse frames shot. Nine total states. Hours and hours and hours of editing. All between April 15th and June 15th.

And the tornado? Not only did I get one, but I got six more. On April 15th, the very first day out, I saw two tornadoes in the Texas Panhandle. May 9th was Wynnewood and Sulphur in Oklahoma (both in this film), as well as Trinidad on June 13th in Colorado. And while most tornadoes will be obvious in the film, you'll have to use a keen eye to spot the first two, which appear at 2:08 and 2:13. The Wynnewood tornado, which you will see at the very end of the film, was one of the most surreal moments of my life. I was so focused on keeping up with the storm that day, that I barely realized that I had captured what I'd been working so hard to get. I texted my wife a few photos and simply said "Baby I did it". It wasn't until she responded "Babe, it's beautiful. I'm so happy for you" that I completely lost it - live stream going on in the truck, people watching, and tears streaming down my face.

But that's how much this spring meant to me, and how hard I was going. Most of the time exhausted. My typical routine would be to leave Phoenix sometime in late afternoon, drive all night, sleep an hour or two in the truck and then chase the next few days. And then drive home all night again. I did whatever I could to to minimize the time away from my family. Heck, I once even shot a wedding all day, left the venue, and drove all night to chase. I didn't want to miss anything this spring.

What's awesome to me is that some of my best stuff came from marginal days, where it took some effort and crazy luck to get sick storm structures. Those were the surprises - amazing clips worthy of the final product despite the chase day starting out subpar. Combined together with everything else, I think it's some of my best footage to date!

Technical note...this film marks the first time I used my Canon 5DSR and 11-24 for time-lapse, which I bought right before the spring started (Thank you Martin Heck for the help!). I'm not 100% sure of course, but I believe the tornadoes in the film may be some of the first ever captured in 8K resolution. The 50 megapixels that camera offers was huge for being able to zoom into certain shots and still maintain fantastic quality and sharpness. Couldn't be happier with that beast. I also used my trusty 5D3 for the tighter shots, with the 35mm, 50mm or 135mm.

I have to mention Kerry Muzzey here...he has surpassed being kind to me. This is the 3rd or 4th time he's donated a song to one of my projects and I'm forever grateful. His music is powerful, haunting at times, and always, always perfect for the story I want to tell. This year I knew right away that "Found" was the song I would use. Please visit the links above to support his work!

There are a lot of names to thank which are listed at the end of the film. I owe them all so much for helping me this spring. Nowcasting, making me turn around when I was headed to Montana, teaching me about forecasting, helping me choose the right new camera, editing input, and just being good friends. I am very blessed to have some amazing people around me!

Most of all to my wife, Jina. She knows...every year I'm gone longer. I'm sure next year could be worse. But through it all, even when it's really tough, she's always right behind me. Making things work when I'm away. There are never enough words to cover how amazing she is. But she knows and I know - this film wouldn't happen without her.

I think that's about it! Thanks to everyone for the kind words of support all year. I truly hope you enjoy this one! On to Monsoon 3! ---------------------------

Technical Details:

Captured with A CANON 5DSR, CANON 5D3, Canon 11-24mm f/4, 16-35mm, 35mm, 50mm, 135mm Processed using Lightroom, LR Timelapse, After Effects and Premiere Pro

In the pecking order of Christmas stories, A Christmas Carol is second only to the baby Jesus. Even if you’ve never read it, or had it read to you, you know about that flinty-hearted miser Ebenezer Scrooge and his redemption during one long dark night of the soul.

Bill Murray, Albert Finney, Michael Caine and Alastair Sim have all played Scrooge in one of the endless film remakes and reboots there have been over the years. Now comes the story behind the story, The Man Who Invented Christmas: a heavily fictionalised biopic with Dan Stevens playing Charles Dickens, bashing out A Christmas Carol in six weeks after contracting a nasty dose of writer’s block in 1843. Thanks to the success of Oliver Twist, Dickens is literary-rock-star famous. But at 31, after a handful of flops, he has a gnawing anxiety that his powers are on the wane. And with four kids, another baby on the way and debts piling up, he needs to make some serious cash, fast.

The film is a Quality Street treat for the holidays, with a gooey sweet centre – daft but immensely likable, and performed with pantomime gusto by a top-notch cast. Dickens yomps about London, meeting people who inspire the creation of Scrooge, Tiny Tim and the gang. These characters then literally come to life in his study as he writes, and they’re an unruly bunch, ruthlessly mocking his failure to finish his comeback. (Christopher Plummer is terrific as Scrooge.)

And with his flamboyant star turn as Dickens, there’s Stevens, a man who finally looks to be laying to rest his own ghost of Christmas past. Cast your mind back to 2012, when the shock death in the Downton Abbey Christmas special of his beloved character Matthew Crawley had the faithful crying into their sherry glasses.

Unlike many actors, Stevens is not at all uptight when chatting about the character who made him famous. Nevertheless, in the past five years, he has done everything possible to distance himself from Crawley, the interloping heir to the Downton pile. He has cross-dressed in the cult favourite Vimeo show High Maintenance, murdered with psychopathic charm in The Guest, freaked out on the Marvel TV spin-off Legion and locked up Emma Watson in Beauty and the Beast. He even looks different these days. Gone is the floppy blond hair, and the once boyish face is chiselled into sharp angles. Stevens credits the weight loss to moving to New York where he finds it easier to look after himself, working out at the gym and cutting out dairy.

Different, too, has been the reception granted Stevens’s post-Downton work. A pleasantly surprised tone crept into reviews, a perceptible sound of critics retracting knives and grudgingly acknowledging that, oh hang on, he’s actually a bit good, isn’t he? Stevens throws his head back laughing when asked how he feels about this change in critical fortunes. “It’s interesting. You do one show that goes everywhere, and people associate you with that. Do I think Downtown is my best work? Probably not. But if people enjoy it, or if that’s what they think of when they think of me, so be it. It served me well.” If he is offended by the question, he is too polite to say. Dan Stevens is scrupulously polite, so careful with his words that he often leaves you wondering what he really thinks.

Stevens studied English at Cambridge and was a Booker prize judge in 2012, reading 146 novels in seven months (the Downton costume team stitched secret pockets into his jackets for his Kindle). But he shrugs when I ask about historical accuracy, or the lack of it, in his latest film. (The Man Who Invented Christmas has been criticised by experts for, among other things, the inaccurate size of its newspaper headlines.) “Frankly, whether it’s historically accurate I’m not that concerned about. I was interested in that moment of the creative process, watching a great man struggle – to me, that’s dramatically and comedically interesting. Certainly I was keen not to play Dickens as a bearded old sage.”

He tells me that one of his co-stars, Miriam Margolyes, has a theory that Dickens was bipolar. Does Stevens buy that? “It’s a very interesting interpretation. I think there’s something to be said for it…” he tails off.

Needless to say, the film does not dwell on Dickens’s iffy relationships with women. (A year before publishing A Christmas Carol, he had this to say about his wife in a letter to a friend: “Catherine is as near being a donkey as one of her sex can be.”) “I think he was a good father and a terrible husband,” Stevens says diplomatically. “But yeah, I think it being a Christmas film, we wanted it to be fairly full of laughter. I don’t wish to take anything away from the man, and therefore you have to address the dark side of his nature and his work. There were moments when he was bleak and depressive. But I think there were moments when he was great fun to be around, very silly and playful.” I must say that, having watched the film, I’m still none the wiser about which yuletide customs Dickens has bragging rights on. Pudding, definitely. Turkey? Mistletoe?

Stevens loves Christmas, unironically, in a full-on, festive jumpers and stockings-hanging-on-the-fireplace kind of way. “I always have. Our house is pretty lively at Christmas,” he says. He is married to the singer Susie Hariet and they have three children. Family festivities at their gaff kick off on Christmas Eve, watching The Muppet Christmas Carol. Who does the cooking? “My mum and I usually team up. We’re quite a formidable duo in the kitchen.”

Stevens is well-spoken but not as posh as he seems. Now 35, he was adopted at seven days old, and raised in Wiltshire, Essex and Brecon in Wales. He spent his early teenage years rebelling against anything and everything, but still got the grades to win a scholarship to a prestigious boys’ boarding school in Kent at 13. He wasn’t happy, feeling isolated and as if he didn’t fit in with the other kids. What was going on? “I dunno. I guess I didn’t always toe the line,” he answers a tad testily, and with a definite air of finality.

I mention that going to a top university from a comprehensive, I always felt envious of the privately educated kids who never questioned whether they were talented enough to be in the room. “The entitlement thing is a problem,” Stevens says. “It’s interesting, living in America and seeing a different system. It’s definitely got as many flaws, but there is a sense that your own achievement and drive and curiosity can achieve great things, in a way that I think is stifled in Britain.”

By the time he landed Downton, Stevens had already toured the US opposite Rebecca Hall in a production of As You Like It, and appeared on stage in the West End with Judi Dench. Did he feel any disgruntlement at the time – being a Serious Actor suddenly lumped in with a Sunday night soap opera? He shakes his head: “I never felt that people weren’t taking me seriously. I did appreciate that some people were watching Downton with a kind of ironic appreciation – perhaps the Guardian readership particularly…” he shoots me a grin, adding: “and my friends, too. But no. There was no resentment. I still see a lot of the guys. It changed all of our lives. It had a seismic effect on all our careers.”

It goes without saying that appearing in a show watched by 12 million people opened doors that appearing in off-Broadway Shakespeare never could. But as soon as he left the show he bolted for New York. What was that all about? Did the comparisons to the young Hugh Grant scare him out of the country? “No! I was just very excited about the work I was afforded over there. People there were prepared to see me do something dark and weirder. Or something action-y and mental. Or something big and silly, like Night at the Museum. It couldn’t have turned out better.”

As for Dickens, he got his instant classic. A Christmas Carol sold out its first run of 6,000 copies before Christmas Eve. The tale melted hearts of even the most dyed-in-the-wool cynics – one American businessman gave his staff an extra day’s holiday. Not that Dickens made the killing he’d hoped for. After getting carried away with gilt lettering and fancy paper, he never trousered the £1,000 he had banked on. God bless us, every one.

The Man Who Invented Christmas is out in the US; released in the UK on 1 December

Tips 2020 Social Marketing New Media : Basic Social Media Plan

Social internet marketing, Truth and Lies

You order an item online and it takes way more time to arrive than it should. As well as, a few goods are missing inside the package. Discouraged, you choose to use the vendor’s Facebook channel to tone of voice your worries and be prepared to be reimbursed.

And despite repeated prodding, there is finished radio silence at the opposite end.

The experience failed to feel good did it? You think could be this organization doesn’t love you – how you relied on it to provide you with a good encounter and that shattered this kind of trust rather. So you do what any kind of frustrated person would — you claim never to buy anything came from here again and hit the “unlike” press button.

For social media strategists, we have a lesson to be learned below. A social media strategy may eventually fail with a few unlikes and negative comments.

As being a business owner, social networking gives you limited chances to make a good impression. How you take advantage of these probabilities might make your company or break it.

The proof is in these statistics:

• 71% of users who have an optimistic social media experience of a brand are likely to recommend that – Minister

• Corresponding to a study, hardly 20% of social networking posts scarcely generate any kind of emotional effect on social websites – Havas Media

• 42% of Twitter users expect to end up being expect a small business to respond with their inquiries during an hour – Ambassador

Social media seems to be the most recent buzz word for everyone looking to enhance their online occurrence and product sales, but is Social Media Marketing (SMM) all it is actually cracked approximately be?

T. M. M companies are now springing up all over the place these days and they are informing anyone that is going to listen about how incredibly crucial social media like Facebook twits and Vimeo are to your business but , to get the average up-and-coming small to medium sized organization, does promoting to internet sites really live up to all the hype? Is spending a small fortune on hiring a SMM company well worth it? And has anyone seriously done their research about this before that they hired someone to set up generally there Facebook business page?

A lot of SMM businesses are setting up items like Facebook organization pages (which are free) for $600 to $1, 000 or maybe more and sharing with their clients that they may need a internet site because Facebook or myspace is the biggest social network on the globe and most people have a Facebook or myspace account.

Now while it could possibly be true that Facebook is a largest social media in the world and yes, Facebook’s members happen to be potential consumers, the real issue is could they be actually choosing? Social media marketing businesses are all too thrilled to point out the positives of social media just like how many people make use of Facebook or how various tweets were sent out not too long ago and how various people watch YouTube video tutorials etc . but are you finding the full photo?

Social Marketing Guide

I once sat following to a SMM “expert” for a business workshop who was spruiking to anyone that came inside earshot regarding the amazing important things about setting up a Facebook business site for small business (with him of course) and selling on Facebook. So , curious by the aforementioned “experts” tips I searched him on Facebook learn he had just 11 Facebook or myspace friends (ofcourse not a good start). So being the research nut that I are, I decided to adopt a good check into SMM in regard to selling to see if it basically worked, whom did it work for and if that did why did Social media work for all of them?

And should business rely therefore heavily about social networks for sales?

Being a web programmer I was constantly (and now increasingly) confronted with several online community challenges when potential clients might say that using a website noises good but they had a Fb business web page and had recently been told by simply various options (the ever before present however anonymous “they”) that internet sites were the thing to do, although after discussing their needs it probably is quite clear those potential clients decided not to actually find out why that they needed web sites or SMM to generate internet sales.

They just wanted this. For small to medium sized business I usually recommended creating a quality webpage over almost any social network, so why? Well it’s simple really because social websites is Social Media, and internet sites are Social support systems they are not really business media and business networks (that would be more like LinkedIn).

Facebook Strategy Plan

I do know that sounds simple nevertheless it’s accurate and the information back it up. The reality is that social media marketing fails to tell you that Facebook . com is a online social networking not a search engine and regardless of the number of Facebook users and Google users being surrounding the same, persons don’t use Facebook . com in the same way that they can use a search engine like Google (which features around smaller portion the search engine market), Yahoo and Bing to find business or perhaps products. They use it to hold in touch with relatives and buddies or pertaining to news and entertainment.

Within a recent research done by the IBM Start for Business Worth around 55% of all social media users stated that they tend not to engage with brands over social websites at all and only around 23% actually purposefully use social media to connect to brands. Right now out of all the folks that do use social networking and whom do interact with brands if purposefully or perhaps not, many (66%) state they need to come to feel a company can be communicating truthfully before they are going to interact.

What exactly is use social media marketing? And is it even worthy of doing?

Social Media Marketing Mix Example

Very well first of all We would say that developing a well enhanced website continues to be going to offer you with far more organization that social websites in most cases especially if you are a up-and-coming small to medium sized regional business since far more people are going to type “hairdresser Slot Macquarie” to a search engine just like Google, Bing and Google than they ever is going to on any kind of Social Media Site and if you don’t need a website you aren’t missing out on all of that potential organization. However despite all the (ofcourse not so good) statistics .

I actually still believe that it is still a great idea for business to use social media simply not in the same way that many of SMM specialists are today, So why? Because is actually clearly no longer working in the way they will claim it does. Basically SMM Companies and Business in general looked at web sites like Facebook or myspace as a fresh new market ripe for the picking and once Facebook started getting users measured by millions PayPal co-founder Chris Thiel used US$500, 000 for 7% of the company (in August 2004) as them one or two venture capital businesses have made purchases into Fb and in August 2007.

Ms announced that it had purchased the 1. 6% show of Facebook . com for $240 million. On the other hand since Facebook’s humble starts up until now (2012) both SMM Companies and Business include failed to truly capitalise on the huge number of Facebook . com users on the web. The truth is figures does not equal buyers. Can it be in a Social media company’s best interest to talk internet sites up?

Social Media Strategy

Definitely. Is it within a Social Network just like Facebook’s best interests for people to believe that businesses can sell en masse by marketing and advertising with them? Of course it is. In early 2012, Facebook disclosed that their profits acquired jumped 65% to $1 billion in the previous 12 months as its income which is generally from marketing had hopped almost 90% to $3. 71 billion dollars so obviously the concept of SMM is exercising for them but it really is perfect? Well… statistically no, but that does not indicate that it by no means will.

In my opinion the major big difference between social support systems and search engines is motive. People who work with Google are deliberately trying to find something therefore if they certainly a search pertaining to hairdressers which what they are looking for at that particular time. With something like Facebook the primary intent is usually to meet up with friends and family. In October 2008, Mark Zuckerberg himself said “I don’t believe social networks could be monetized in the same way that search (Search Engines) did…

In three years by now we have figure out what the ideal model is certainly. But which is not our main focus today”. One of the biggest concerns business deal with with internet sites and SMM is notion. According to the APPLE Institute for people who do buiness .

Value analysis there were “significant gaps among what businesses think customers care about and what consumers say they need from their social media interactions with companies. ” For example in today’s society people are not just going to hand you over at this time there recommendations, Online social networks likes, remarks or specifics without getting something back for doing it, so the old adage “what’s in this for me? inches comes into play.

Marketing On Social Media

Hence the primary reason most people give for interacting with brands or business about social media is usually to receive discounts, yet the makes and organization themselves think the main reason persons interact with all of them on social media is to learn about new products. To get brands and business receiving discounts simply ranks twelfth on their list of reasons why people interact with these people. Most businesses believe social networking will increase advocation, but simply 38 % of consumers consent.

Companies need to find more innovative methods to connect with social websites if they want to see some type of result from it. There was some good pursuits shown in the IBM study of companies that had gotten some sort of the handle in order to use social websites to their advantages, keeping in mind that whenever asked them when they connect to businesses or perhaps brands via social media, customers list “getting discounts or coupons” and “purchasing companies services” as the top two activities, correspondingly a U. S goodies company called Cold Stone Creamery provided discounts on the products on their Facebook web page. Alternatively we have a great software launched by simply Best

Social Media In A Business

Purchase in the Circumstance. S referred to as Twelpforce where employees can respond to consumer’s questions via Twitter. With Cold Rock Creamery and Twelpforce comfort is obviously in the favor of the potential customer & the great trick to social media marketing is always to sell not having trying to sell (or looking like the selling) sad to say most social media marketing is focused the wrong way.

Building a real buyer to consumer relationship via social networking is not easy and probably the most benefit to business’ using social websites to boost the websites Google rankings. Nevertheless business’ ought to understand that weight loss just create a Fb business page and optimism the best. SMM requires efforts and potential customers need to find value in what you have to present via the social media attempts give them anything worth their social conversation and as well as then you may progress results.

Nowadays just as a footnote Facebook . com shares own dropped to under $20 per show, that’s 50 % their primary price… plus the lawsuits will be flying

Lets get on with it then...

So this year is gonna be a step up from last year, we have a lot more work but also a lot more freedom with what we shoot. At first the work load was quite daunting but after planning and making a time table to go off its seeming more and more do-able by the day. I am as equally exited as I am nervous.

We have three different modules going on, PEP210, PEP220 and PEP260

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Module Description PEP210 Genre:

In this module I will be exploring genre through shooting a 12 part portfolio. Building on my skills from level 1 with digital cameras, speedlites and ranger kits. I will be expected to take each brief and develop it, making it my own.

In this module I will be introduced to a diverse range of press and editorial photography genre. Developing a portfolio of work that encourages professionalism and introduces me to the conventions of each genre and its relevant context. With support from a range of tutors, the tutorials system and my own research I will be encouraged to cover a wide range of subject matter outside my initial interest areas. This broadening of experience will help inform my decisions in PEP240 your first negotiated portfolio.

Students will apply photographic technique and skill to achieve genre-specific outcomes. Applied skills will include:

• a range of photographic techniques and formats • post production • use of flash • editing and image selection

The Brief

12 Part Portfolio 80%

For the first semester you will be exploring various types of image that will inform your understanding of genres in Press & Editorial Photography.

On an average week you could be shooting as many as six parts of the portfolio or as few as one. You will bring all work in progress to each tutorial for guidance from tutors and peers. Towards the end of the module, you should start collecting your work into your best examples of each image type or genre in preparation for deadline.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Law, Ethics and Human Rights

In this module you will be covering applicable areas of media law, journalism ethics and the influence of human rights law on the world of Press and Editorial Photography. You will be given a thorough grounding in your rights as a photographer as well as exploring your ethical responsibilities as a professional photojournalist. This will be a forum for debate and will use current events to spark lively discussion and bring this subject to life.

The Brief

2000 Word Critical Essay (60%)

Group Seminar Presentation (40%)

The Essay:

Conditions: A4 formal layout, bound, 2000 words (tolerance 10%), illustrated, fully referenced, with bibliography of referenced material and further reading on the following topic:

Your task is to look at the challenges and problems that might have been experienced in the planning, pre production, generation or publication/exhibition of the work. Moral, ethical and legal considerations should be at the heart of this essay rather than aesthetic considerations around the work you have selected.

The Presentation:

How you structure your presentation is up to you, but you must incorporate case studies and images and be prepared for group discussion and a formal delivery. This is your opportunity to share your knowledge with your peers so remember that this presentation must be engaging and in-depth enough to sustain interest over an hour. Some of you may be on placement during the presentation portion of this module, but you are expected to fully participate with your group and contribute to the final presentation.1.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pep260 Multimedia

Pep260 Audio Visual Multimedia Brief 1 The title of the brief is:

PEOPLE AND PASSION.

You are to find, research and produce a 3-5 minute piece around the title of the brief.

Your piece must contain both of the following:

Documentary quality audio.

Industry standard photography.

And which can also include:

Moving image (video).

Text.

Anything else which strengthens the piece (ie animation)

You may collaborate with others to produce this piece, but the collaboration must be from outside the course.

I have left the brief wide open apart from the module title. The title is there to help you with the quality of the work, because if you tap into someone’s passion, you will almost always find a story, and the story will be stronger as a result. All content must be shot and collated for this specific task.

You must treat your audio with as much respect and effort as the images, and vice versa. If you are to include video, I expect the same level of effort and quality in the capture. I am making no other technical or aesthetic restrictions, but please see the assessment criteria below.

I would suggest you find two voices around the same story, possibly from different viewpoints, possibly the same. Any more than two voices gives potential for confusion in the final piece. That is not a hard and fast rule however, just a suggestion from experience.

You are free to use any software you care to on this, whether that be iMovie, FCP, Premiere, Audition etc.

The final piece needs to be in a movie format such as mp4, mpeg, quicktime etc, You must post your final work to your own account on Vimeo. Setting up your own account is free, simple, and allows you to embed your work wherever you wish. Remember that the environment in which your work sits can add significantly to the content/narrative. Consider building a page to host the work, i.e. on medium.com.

Minimum submission guidelines: 1280 (wide) x 720 pixels (tall)

Remember…this is all about the story. Stay tight to the title. I don’t expect your production skills to yet rival those of a professional, but I expect you to try. You can however all impress me with your choice of story, and how you construct it.

DELIVER A SENSE OF PERSON AND A SENSE OF PLACE.

Pep260 Audio Visual Multimedia Brief 2 Project title: Hidden Cornwall.

You need to produce a self contained 3-5 minute multimedia piece.

Your content must include video, shot by you.

Your own content must be all shot digitally.

Your video content must be shot and delivered in Full HD(1920x1080pixels) Use any tools available to do so…ie you could shoot in 4k raw if you wanted, but you would have to render back down to HD. I recommend against doing so however. No upsizing of video content, ie do not shoot in 720 then render up to HD.

If you include still photography content, render this down to HD for output.

You are free to use any software you care to on this, whether that be iMovie, FCP, Premiere, Audition etc.

The final piece needs to be in a movie format such as mp4, mpeg, quicktime etc, You must post your final work to your own account on Vimeo.

Theme: Hidden Cornwall.

Any story/subject is possible, within the broad theme above.

Avoid clichés, stereotypes, tropes. This is important. Hence the word hidden.

This is an exercise in finding and thinking about content as much as delivering it. Read everything local, from brochures to newspapers, books to flyposters. Pick up flyers, read notice boards, try to imagine what you find into the production of your multimedia, for example, you may have a great story, but the subject may not lend itself to audio, or conversely, your story may sound great but not image well.

Consider your own interests and future hopes. You may wish to make this a commercial exercise, an artistic one, a journalistic one. Whatever you decide, remember the theme.

Show the audience a Cornish story rarely seen. Maybe it’s food, maybe it’s politics, poverty, wildlife, graveyards, coves, the elderly, volunteers, farming, education, industry, religion, horticulture, obsession, desire, craft, design, charity, fostering, pollution, innovation, research, energy, distillation, beauty, architecture, landscape or employment. Violence, addiction, love and support. Think hidden, undiscovered, unique, new to the viewer. Find the dispossessed, the voiceless. Mine literature, film, archives, people, Tell me unheard tales of the sea, the land, the people, history. And, always, listen. This is a brief, and far from exhaustive list.

You must deliver strong audio, strong imagery and strong content. Remember that when contemplating your idea.

Think small, intimate, achievable. If you want to tell a big story (such as the economy, employment, poverty etc) consider telling it through the voice of just one or two people.

All content from this project will be collectively online under the url www.hiddencornwall.uk, therefore your work will be seen publicly and also be seen amongst that of your peers. This should help focus your mindset and approach. It will also grow year on year to provide an archive of hidden Cornwall content.

Top 22 Social Media Platforms for Your Business

The first web-page went live on 6th August, 1991. The sole purpose of the first website was to spread information about world-wide-web (WWW) project and was released by Tim-Berner’s Lee. The link to first website: http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html. The website still exists but the World-Wide-Web has now changed a lot. In past 28 years the world wide web has expanded so much that it now consists of almost 200 million active websites (20,00,00,000) with a stack of over 1.5 billion websites (not active though).

During this expansion we saw the rise of Social Media Platforms. The basic purpose of Social Media Platforms was to make it convenient for the friends and family members to interact with each other on regular basis even if they live far away from each other. But today’s social media platforms are now more than that. They are expanding into business models and each platform has a unique quality and a specific audience. Here we will discuss the Top 20 Social Media Platforms for your business. If you are a startup or running a business for quite a while and planning for expansion, this article will surely help you a lot. Now Let’s get Started.

1.Facebook.com

Facebook would be my all-time favorite social media platform. Mark Zuckerberg and his team did an amazing job in providing the best social network in such a beautiful manner that it tackle almost all aspects of one’s personal and official routines. One reason for Facebook to get the top position in this list is its connections list. There are more than 2.38 Billion users of Facebook and 1.56 Billion users daily use Facebook. This is even more than the total population of India which is 1.34 Billion. One cannot neglect such a huge market, especially when you are running a business and looking for opportunities. For businesses, Facebook offer business pages. You can design and customize pages very easily. It doesn’t matter if you want to start a business, create a store or start your own Fan Page. You can do all that in just 5 – 10 minutes and it is very easy. On Facebook you can add text, images, videos, live streaming and stories to your Facebook page and make it more engaging for the viewers. You can do research with the help of polls and some other options available in Facebook.

2. Instagram.com

Instagram is a next generation thing. In my opinion, if you want to target a younger audience, Instagram and Snapchat are the best options. Instagram makes the second position in our list because of its 1 billion users list and out of which 500 million users regularly use Instagram. There is no doubt that Facebook is lagging behind in capturing the mobile market while Instagram is doing it perfectly. Instagram has become the charm of Smart Phones Industry. Instagram works perfectly with hashtags and you can also create 5 business pages with one registration. (Funny story, I didn’t know that and once cleaned my whole Instagram account to make it my business account!). With business account being open for everyone and your Personal account restricted for your friends and family just like you do it in Facebook, you can work even on your smartphone. As compared to Facebook, Instagram restricts you to upload video with a length of less than 60 seconds. But that’s OK, this is an opportunity for marketers to deliver their message within 60 seconds and attract clients for your business.

3. Youtube.com

There are Vimeo, Dailymotion and many other video streaming websites online, but YouTube is the most famous one. YouTube is one of those websites which is even children friendly and anyone can use it with just one click. YouTube have a total of 1.9 billion users and 28 million users watch videos on YouTube on daily basis. It has been observed that the video content has a stronger impact as compared to textual or Image content. In one of Forbes articles it was discussed that Video Marketing might be the future of marketing (Ref: Video Marketing The Future of Content Marketing) As a business owner or a marketing expert you can design creative and interactive videos and attract the target audience with you content. You can redirect them through YouTube towards your website landing page or can also do the affiliate marketing with the help of YouTube. There is a variety of video types and you can promote your business with such a diverse marketing platform.

4. Twitter.com

The ratings of twitter are changing frequently over world-wide-web but twitter still holds a very strong position in the market. It has more than 350 million visitors per month. Twitter is most famous for news and updates of companies, political parties and celebrities. Twitter is most famous for its timely delivery of information. People usually share things on twitter that is happening that particular moment, although this characteristic is true for both Instagram and Snapchat as well. Different thing about twitter is that you cannot write long paragraphs. You can only type a text message for 280 Characters (140 characters for Japanese (Nihongo), Korean (Hangul) or Chinese (Mandarin)). Twitter is also famous for its usage of Customer Services. According advertisers, almost 80% of CS requests happen on twitter as per SalesForce.com “Twitter is the New 1-800 Number for Customer Service".

5. Snapchat

Like Instagram, Snapchat is also considered as an app or social networking site for the young generation. Snapchat focuses on sharing short videos and live images taken by camera with your friends or contacts. The most interesting thing about Snapchat is that whatever content you create or share does not last for more than 24 hours. This is a challenge and an opportunity both at the same time. Challenge is that you have to come up with a newer content everyday but the opportunity is that there is more chance for your viewers to see, think about your content and interact with it, on Snapchat than on any other social media platform because of the shortage of time creates a sense of urgency. Snapchat holds its place on 6th position for its monthly usage by more than 250 million user.

6. LinkedIn.com

LinkedIn is my favorite and if you are doing a job, running your own business, freelancing or even a student LinkedIn must be your favorite too. LinkedIn is the most professional social networking website. The sole purpose of LinkedIn is to connect the Job Seekers with the Head Hunters and Business to the customers. LinkedIn has more than 590 Million users out of which 100 million users are active every day. On LinkedIn you can easily connect with your target audience, and filters of LinkedIn makes it easier for the user to filter out the less required information and focus on the core target. You can also create a company page on LinkedIn and I suggest you should do it now. It does not cost anything but will help you keep a position on world’s largest Corporate Social Media Platform. You will also find your prospect clients on LinkedIn for sure.

7. Reddit.com

Reddit has a monthly usage of 330 million. Mainly Reddit is used for discussions related to Computer Sciences and Software Engineering (Programming, etc.). But you can also use it to upload Pictures, links, or general text to discuss with the community where community can rate it high or low. There are Subreddits, the groups/communities on Reddit. Do your research and post your content on the most relevant community pages. This will take time to understand the community on Reddit but once you understand it you will realize that they have to most result oriented community. (Honestly Speaking, It took me a while to understand how Reddit works)

8. Medium.com

If you are professional or you search for information quite often, you must have interaction with Medium. Even if you had no interaction in the past, you should go now and sign up (You can thank me later). Medium has more than 65 million active users per month. As compared to Facebook or Instagram, 60 million doesn’t look so big a number, but believe me this not a place for chit chat. You only find genuine information from one of the most authentic sources and well reputed writers. If you are a blogger you should sign up (its free) and start sharing the content of your blog over Medium as well. Even large brands promote their content on Medium to reach out to the public. I think Medium is going to become the next google of news. (Believe me nothing is sponsored on this blog)

9. Flickr.com

Flickr was launched in 2004 and was a hit. Before Instagram, Flickr was the only photo sharing platform. With the invent of Instagram, most of the public moved away from Flickr. The most important feature of flicker is that if you are running a business and the pictures you design are your sole property and must not be used by others, then you can mark copyright on your photos. This is the thing you cannot do on any other social media platform. You might think that who use flicker now a days, then you should tell this to 90 million active users of Flickr.

10. Pinterest

Pinterest is social media platform where the community shares inspiring pictures and with link to their source website or blogs. It is just like google images but with some more options. You can make galleries of your images, and people can follow you because of your work. If they like your images, they will get a redirect link to your website where they will directly interact with your core product and services. Pinterest has 250 million monthly active users list which means you can attract a large number of customers with the least amount of content but the quality of the content matters most on Pinterest.

11. Tumblr

Tumblr was launched in year 2007 and has achieved a milestone of 1.5 Billion posts per month. Tumble is an amazing free source to start your own blog. You can write text, share images or videos or directly share links. You can embed video links in Tumblr and the visitors can directly play your videos on Tumblr. Tumblr has gone through many variations in the past year and it looks like it has now turned into a steady platform both for personal and business bloggers.

12. Yelp

Yelp is like a google for Business only. If you search for “Pizze near my area” there is a chance that Yelp will show your business in the top field. Yelp is used for local stores to show their presence online, just like “Google Business”. While “Google Business” Works like google maps, Yelp actually works like Facebook’s business page. You can rate and comment about the services of a business on Yelp. Startups or even well established businesses should not ignore this useful website. You can also download its app for your smartphone.

13. MySpace

MySpace is another social media platform which was first started for networking but then converted into more of a Celebrity Promotion Website. MySpace was a hit back in 2005 and became the most popular social network till 2008. After that, other social network most famously known as Facebook took its place. Now a days MySpace is considered one of the most popular social network platform for musicians and bands where they can show off their talent and can connect with the followers/fans. They can even sell their work online on MySapce, and I hope you understand the opportunity over here if you are running a business related to music or design your own videos. MySpace is a perfect platform for you. There are more than 14.2 Million Artists on MySpace. MySpace.com feels more like an ArtistSpace.com.

14. Digg.com

If you are a Blogger then Digg is a best system for the promotion of your blog. With Digg.com you can share your blog link and it will appear on Diggs list and will automatically promote it. Digg has a simple interface. You put link to your blog in the Digg with a small description and select a category in which your blog post falls. Then Digg shows your blog to the viewers who are interested in that particular category. The Digg users then can view and mark Digg on your post. The more your post gets the Diggs from the viewers, more the chances for it to appear on the main page of Digg. It might not feel much, but it is better not to ignore such a resource which is available for free.

15. Baidu Tieba

Baidu is a Chinese online Forum with 300 million active users every month. Baidu is the largest Chinese Search Engine platform. The platform is solely in Chinese Language so you might need a translated to make Baidu work for you. Baidu was released in 2003 and has since been growing into a famous Chinese search engine. It ranks 4 on Alexa’s ratings which is huge.

16. TikTok

Most people know Tik Tok and believe me or not it is addictive. China even banned Tik Tok in India and still the total worth of Tik Tok is $75 Billion dollars which is more than the worth of Uber. The main purpose of Tik Tok is to record videos of upto 60 seconds and add music and effects in the video and upload it. As of June 2018, Tik Tok has 500 million active monthly users. Tik Tok is currently installed on more than 800 million smartphones. The limitation of “Recording Vide Only” makes Tik Tok our 16th favorite Social Media App, maybe in near future with additional features I would like to change it to the No.1 on my list.

17. WeChat

WeChat is not just a networking app but more than that. WeChat trying to capture all the market and offering a One-Stop-Shop kind of service. You can use WeChat to Shop online, transfer money, make reservations (Hotel Bookings), call a Taxi and more. WeChat has more than 1.06 Billion active users every month. Currently WeChat is famous in Asia and most of it is in China. So if you want to expand your business in Asia or already are working in Asia then you should make your presence on WeChat as well.

18. Qzone

Qzone is another Chinese Social Networking platform. It is used for sharing images or videos, writing blogs and playing games. It is kind of Chinese Facebook. Qzone is more famous in youngsters (teens) as compared to WeChat which is more popular among adults. Qzone is a desktop based social networking platform with an average of 632 million users active every month. Your presence on such a platform will create an impact in Long-Run.

19. Telegram

Telegram is not very different from other apps such as WhatsApp but it is considered to be more secure. You can send and receive data with your friends in a safe manner. You can use Telegram for business for Customer Services. You can create Chatbots for Telegram Platform or use Telegram’s “Broadcast” feature to send messages or notifications to unlimited number of subscribers.

Most of us use WhatsApp but don’t really know that there is another WhatsApp App for Business as well. With that you can send messages to your clients in a more secure way. On WhatsApp there are more than 65 billion messages sent every day with 1.5 Billion users in 180 countries around the globe. A presence on WhatsApp is really important and it is essential for new businesses to get registered with WhatsApp Business Account, and it is for free.

22. Messenger

Messenger has more than 1.3 monthly active users which makes messenger an attractive social networking platform for everyone but the problem with Messenger is that its core focus is on one-on-one interaction between users or group of users and there is no such option of having a business account. But with messenger you can advertise, send newsletters or install Chatbots to optimize the performance of your business page on Facebook as messenger is basically your Facebook account. Share Your Experience? Which Websites or Apps do you use for yourself and your business? It doesn’t matter how large a social network is. What matters is that who is your target audience and if they are available on that network or not. But there are some Social Networks which reined their systems so much that they tackle most of the scenarios you face in your business. We would love to know your experience.

Dramaturgy Shy: Katy Baird @ Edfringe 2017

Disco music, pop culture and free chips... Webcam modelling, drug dealing and flipping burgers: Katy Baird explores what we are and aren’t willing to do for money. A show about work – the best jobs, the worst jobs, and everything in between.

Some people work to earn money, some work to feel fulfilled, some people don’t work at all and some people run away and join the circus… Join Glasgow-born, London-based artist and activist Katy Baird at Summerhall (Venue 26), one of the Edinburgh Fringe’s most exciting venues, for a very personal story looking at the ups and downs of what it means to serve you – the great British public.

For the last twenty years, Katy has been at the frontline of the customer service industry. From getting you high to supersizing your whopper meal, she has done everything she can to make you happy.

Workshy is a unique, vulnerable, often hilarious autobiographical portrayal of the relationship between labour, class and aspiration.

What was the inspiration for this performance?

This performance is about work and the things we do for money. It is my own personal story about the jobs I have done and the various ways – both illegal and illegal - that I have made ends meet.

In the show I talk about working for over a decade in those service-sector jobs that we all engage with but often don’t even notice. When you go for dinner, when you travel or when you go out on a Saturday night there is always someone there serving you and for a long time that someone was me! In fact, it still is me but I am just doing it in a much more visible way now.

I also talk about the way we make money below the radar – all the hustling to get by when you just cant face serving people 8 hours a day for little thanks and little money. Those times when what you need more than anything is to have some agency and just be someone for a change.

I was inspired to make this show because I feel that voices like mine are not heard enough on stage. It is real life I am talking about - my life, my world and my story. This is not a performance written by someone about what they think this life is like and performed by actors from a completely different background pretending to have had these experiences. It is not bittersweet, its not a coming-of-age drama where we realise that everything will be fine in the end.

It is confrontational, unapologetic and most importantly funny – cause life can be all these things sometimes!

Is performance still a good space for the public discussion of ideas?

Well I have to say a big YES to this otherwise why would I do it? At the moment it feels more important than ever. So much of our lives are virtual and online now that we need and crave space to congregate, to think, to have a dialogue.

Creating a dialogue is particularly important to me and I create the space in Workshy to hear from my audience – I ask them about their life and their aspirations directly. I also intentionally create a moment where we can all come together and chat about the ideas brought up within the show informally and with a drink. This for me is super important because then we can talk and share experiences and thoughts together.

It is not the job of performance to tell us what to think. Its function is to pose questions and ideas in order to enable us to possibly think and feel about things in a different way.

How did you become interested in making performance?

I was in the right place at the right time! When I was 26 I made the decision to go back to school and began an Access to University Course at Stow College in my hometown of Glasgow. This led to a degree in Sociology and Theatre at Glasgow University, which I began in 2003. The early noughties were an amazing time for performance in Glasgow.

The annual National Review of Live Art festival was in full force bringing the most political and influential artists working in live performance to Glasgow every single year! Back then both the Tramway and CCA also had fantastic performance programmes and I was exposed, for the first time, to the work of Forced Entertainment, Campo, Gob Squad, Lois Weaver and Annie Sprinkle to name a few.

Not forgetting the wonderful Arches – a performance space that supported Glasgow based artists like myself, showing my first ever performance, as well as more established UK and international artists and was such an important part of the performance ecology in Glasgow. This was an incredibly exciting time where it felt like anything was possible and I became inspired to make-work and to be part of this weird and wonderful community of artists.

vimeo

KATY BAIRD - Workshy from Pacitti Company on Vimeo.

Is there any particular approach to the making of the show?

This is my first full length theatre show and it took me four years to make. I started preforming first drafts and small ideas and slowly worked on developing it whilst also working full time in office administration so it was a stop and start kind of process. I asked for help where I could and I watched a lot of performances and did a lot of research into what I wanted to talk about. It was a total labour of love for a long time but the hard work has been work it as it led to an amazing UK and international tour and now Edinburgh.

Does the show fit with your usual productions?

I would suggest that Workshy plays with the conventions of theatre but it is most definitely a theatre show, this is a departure from my other artistic work which is often body based and and performed in Live Art Festivals or club contexts. With Workshy I wanted to reach a new and different audience this is why I am so excited about preforming at Summerhall and the Fringe in general.

What do you hope that the audience will experience?

First and foremost I hope that they will laugh and have fun. Although we will all have just met I try to make it feel like we are all down the pub together having a few drinks and maybe doing that classic thing of disclosing a little to much information with people you have just met in a social situation.

What strategies did you consider towards shaping this audience experience?

I use the same strategies I learned whilst selling drugs - always be nice, always treat everyone like an old friend and most importantly always make sure you deliver a product of very high quality!

In this new personal, political performance, Katy puts herself out there one more time to serve you, giving you everything you want with a little help from some disco classics, drinks from Katy’s Bar, a mid-show delivery of free chips for everyone in the audience, and of course, plenty of ketchup. At the Edinburgh Fringe for the first time following a successful UK tour, including shows at the Folkestone Fringe, IBT Bristol International Festival, and in Hamburg, Germany.

“Workshy is a potted history of my employment life,” says Katy. “Over the last twenty years I have spent my time working in Butlins, Burger King, Wetherspoons, as a drug-dealer, as a kitchen porter, on the dole, on the sick, in nightclubs, as a sex-webcam ‘model’ and most recently as an artist and Arts Administrator. Workshy is a performance to be enjoyed and to be consumed; it is an opportunity to be able to spend time with new people, to see a bit of your life on stage, and to consider how we see and think of people in relation to their working environment. It’s about going behind the headlines and challenging the negative media narratives.” Unflinching critique of austerity Britain; savage class satire; a night down the pub... all that and a bag of chips!

MAKING MONEY FROM SHORT FILMS

All film makers start out on short films. They’re affordable and can vary in length from 30 secs to 30 minutes, though the most common ones are 10 - 15 minutes long.

Short films can pack a punch with themes, genres that catch the audiences eye and are impactful and watchable.

The average budget is £5,000 but you can make a short on nothing, just you and a camera or a few hundred. But maybe you've got profile actors and crew involved, fancy locations and set and you maybe even need £50,000+.

As much as filmmakers like to say that they don’t do it for the money, and that it’s about expressing their creativity, there is of course, with any profession, a financial drive.

Your film has taken disproportionally hours, days, months to make and it’s unlikely that any beginner film makers have budgeted in even minimum wage for the amount of work they have done. This is all part of their passion, their creativity, their desire to get a story out to a wider audience. So financially it’s usually a short term loss.

People will tell you it’s a calling card, a way to practice effects and methods of film making in short form. It can be a proof of concept to help raise funds for a feature or tv pilot. But we all have to sustain ourselves, to live. I have personally made 14 short films and learnt from them all. They have helped me to make my first two features.

So always budget a small wage in your short film for you as producer or director. You need some sustenance and also budget in something for entrance to film festivals and competitions.

So how does one make money from a short film? Well in this article we’re going to go over some of the main ways that indie filmmakers can profit off their film.

YouTube & Vimeo

Sites such as YouTube and Vimeo are becoming more and more popular every day, as huge media corporations and mainstream artists begin to settle on the platforms, especially YouTube. These platforms are free to upload to and get your film monetised.

Every time a viewer clicks on your video, an advertisement will play. Advertisers will pay to have their brand/product shown in front of your video, in this case, your film.

On YouTube, they will take ~68%, and you’ll get the other 32% of that money. If you get say 10 views, that’s practically nothing, maybe about $1. But if you get 100,000 views, you could earn anywhere between $500 to $2,500, depending on the content of the video and the audience who watches.

You see, YouTube can cut your pay on videos that go against their TOS (Terms of Service). According to their TOS, “Racial slurs, derogatory content, and mean or hateful content directed at an individual or specific group of people are not safe for monetization.

So, depending on the content of your film, how much money you make will differ from other short films on the site. For Vimeo, it’s similar. Vimeo hasn’t the same audience numbers as YouTube but they also offer Vimeo staff pics which carry qualifying BAFTA points.

Film Festivals

You can win BIFA, BAFTA and Oscars with a short film but that a one in a few million chance. Of course then your film will be of interest to a few streaming channels for instance BBC broadcast Silent Child an Oscar winning short.

While film festivals are a great way to distribute a film and get it known by the general public and folks working in the film industry, it’s probably not your best bet at making money out of your film…but it’s always a possibility, there are lists of festivals that offer cash prizes. Prizes can be $1,000 to. $50,000. The Iris Prize in UK offers £30,000 to the winner and to be streamed on Ch4. Now as we said previously, film festivals are a complete gamble; you have no way of knowing that you’re going to win these cash prizes. To be honest most people have an inflated idea of the quality of their short film.

SELF PROMOTiON

Especially for a premiere, if you have hyped up your film on social media before, during and after you film it then you will have a potential audience that’s excited to see it. You can do a premier where you will have to give free tickets to cast, crew, investors but you can sell further tickets to make money. Now the film venue may cost and that way you can make a more glamorous event but you can hire screens and projectors and hold it in your home or a church hall. That way you can also sell drinks and food to make a little more cash and make a profit. Think carefully though on premieres, will people come outside the big city to a country venue? So if you have it in a city venue maybe the ticket price pays for the venue but hold a raffle to make a small profit. Also do a Q and A to make it more of an event.

To cover costs of a fancier venue you could share with other film makers to film say 4 shorts for an hour, split costs and profits.

VOD (Video on Demand)

One of the best strategies when it comes to trying to make a bit of cash off your short film is to try and sell it to a video on demand service. This is really only likely if you’ve won a prize or been accepted to a major film festival where your film has caught someone’s eye because all VOD companies will have scouts at film festivals.

Netflix very rarely ever purchases or produces short films, and chances are they’re not going to start buying out hundreds of them tomorrow, so you’re better off looking somewhere else.

Amazon has a separate section attached to their main platform, Amazon Prime, known as Prime Video Direct, which specialises in hosting independent films, including short films. With Prime Video Direct, you’ll earn money through,” a revenue share for rentals, purchases, monthly channels, or ad impressions—or any combination of these options”. Amazon have a particular format where you have to provide subtitles to get on Amazon Prime.

ShortsTV is a renowned streaming company that buys and licenses short films from filmmakers around the world and plays them on their cable network channel (in addition to streaming them online) and can pay up to a couple of hundred dollars per short, usually somewhere in the range of $200-500. They also run a competition to find new shorts - details on film freeway.

This platform often own the exclusive rights to show your film, which means, if you decide to sell your film to ShortsTV, you can’t sell or play it anywhere else. It can only be shown on their channel. You should only really sell your short film to ShortsTV after it’s been shown at film festivals or local theatres, as otherwise, you’re limiting the exposure your film will get in the early day of its run.

Pay-Per-View

The final method of making money off of your short film is to make it available online through a payper-view site.

Pay-per-view is a great way to profit off your film; viewers pay a one-time fee (sometimes recurring based on the platform) to unlock your film and can watch it from the comfort of their own homes, almost like a home cinema. This method is great because unlike other methods of monetising your videos such as YouTube, you are guaranteed a set rate of money per view you get.

Yet, like with VOD platforms such as ShortsTV, you should only make a film pay-per-view after it has done the film festival circuit, otherwise, people will be deterred from paying for a film if they’ve never heard anything positive about it beforehand. I did hear that one film maker accidentally titled their film like a famous music band and in searching for that band people watched his film by clicking on it by mistake at first, then being intrigued and finishing it.

There are plenty of great sites that utilise the pay-per-view system, such as MUVI, Boomstream, and Patreon, Amazon, The Smalls etc

Some platforms will only allow the viewer to watch the film once after purchasing, but others, such as Patreon, will allow the viewer to watch it as many times as they like as long as they keep their subscription.

Whichever you choose is ultimately up to you but it’s probably best that you choose a site which lets the viewer watch the film more than once, and this will do wonders for the longevity of the film’s popularity.

Good luck, anything is possible if you work hard enough at it.

Video Editing Software and VidSnatcher

Whenever one seeks to efficiently edit video, there are a few crucial things that they need to consider. These things include every little thing from the apparently ordinary guidelines to the coldly noticeable guidelines. Nonetheless, lots of people disregard to attend to these criteria, which is why there are numerous mediocre videos on sites like YouTube.

Recording the Moment

Good, tidy, well-shot raw video is absolutely crucial to effective video clip modifying. The failure of most amateur video is a lack of quality and also concentrate on the topic. There is no treatment for inadequate video clip high quality. Therefore, I very recommend purchasing a cam with satisfactory resolution. Today, entry level HD cameras have costs in the $100 range. Most of these will certainly be acceptable for any film or video clip that you prepare to make. Check out the Vidsnatcher review on our website for a great quality video editor.

As soon as you have the camera cared for, you should after that turn your attention towards the actual filming of the video. This is additionally remarkably memorable due to the fact that excessive cam shake or an absence of focus on the desired subject is not only really difficult to fix later on, but it likewise draws the attention of the audience away from the real material of your motion picture. If you have ever before viewed a “behind the scenes” or a “making of” video clip, you will certainly have seen that experts have a tendency to have their cameras mounted on heavy stands or trolley-type points that can be moved along tracks.

This produces a smooth shot that gives the movie its specialist look. You can attain these very same impacts at home with a tripod or a chair with wheels under. An additional novice error that individuals make is to reveal too much background in their shot. Greater than likely, there is absolutely nothing that the viewer requires to see behind-the-scenes. If this is the case, maintain the shot tight around the topic. It will certainly save you chopping and also video degradation later.

Assembling Your Work

After you ultimately have your video, it is essential to put it with each other in a manner that makes sense to the customer. Usually, people will place video clip together chronologically, possibly with a few flashbacks as well as flash forwards to discuss existing conflicts. This is precisely how it must be done. Do not leap about excessive, unless it is absolutely needed. If you really feel that it is, think again.

The even more straightforward a plot, the much easier it is to maintain visitors inhabited. If it is extremely outlined and detailed, the audience spends even more time trying to determine what just happened than thinking about what is taking place. This seems like a small, insignificant difference, yet consider what occurs when YOU see flicks for the very first time. You understand of what’s going on, yet you discover so much extra when you watch the motion picture the second time since you know where the story is going. Your objective right here is to develop a flick that does not require to be watched over and also over again.

When you think of it, the world today does not invest much time thinking about the video that it takes in. Individuals just absorb what exists to them. They are not simpletons or idiots, they are just conditioned in this manner. Because of this, they would a lot instead view a video that is basic and understandable than to see a video clip that they really need to think about.

Brightening the Video

Since you have your raw clips in a timeline, you actually have to begin to edit your video clip. This consists of eliminating shady bits, adding in changes, using filters, and numerous other tasks.

First, we will start with the modifying out piece. This is the part where individuals obtain lazy They figure that no person will certainly notice certain things or that no one will care. This sort of reasoning is unprofessional, and also it must be avoided in all expenses.

Take your time to make an excellent edit. If there is something in the shot that should not be, put in the time to chop the shot. If there is a part where somebody is using too much “ums” and also “likes,” make the effort to draw it out. there is no factor that the customer should need to see that. Your objective should be to generate superb material to the very best of your capacity.

The next phase that I want to speak about is including transitions. Every video editing program has a number of changes that they recommend you use. Nevertheless, lots of people over use transitions. There is no factor to include a shift between each and every single clip in your timeline. A fundamental rule of thumb that I make use of when determining whether to make use of shifts is to only insert them when there is a change of scene. By this, I indicate that you don’t require a transition when you have merely cut something from a take.

The final part problems adding filters to your video clip. Just by default, a lot of raw video is not pleasing to the eye. This is why all big ticket films make use of filters. You will certainly notice this when you see that they have provided particular shots a dark appearance without shedding any information aware. This is not as a result of innovative lighting, however since they fired it throughout the daytime and also added a filter later. This is how you have to do things. I strongly suggest utilizing a filter. It will certainly provide your film a professional look that most amateurs overlook.

Posting the Video

The final facet of our successful video clip editing and enhancing tutorial is to publish your video. Unless you prepare to sell your video or maintain it on your own, I advocate publishing it online on either sites: YouTube or Vimeo. Selecting in between these 2 websites is straightforward. The distinction between both is the material that they like. YouTube will take practically anything, while Vimeo holds out for the much more creative items. Therefore, I believe that great positions on Vimeo indicate more than rankings on YouTube. However, you will probably get lot of times more sights on YouTube. Obviously if your video clip is somewhat imaginative, why must you choose between the two websites. You should post it to both.

Plott. His message of devine love is deep within the hearts and souls of each and every one of the #MoringaTRIBE #13DYNASTY #UltimateTruthWarriorX. They are removing him with no reasoning, and state that for security reasons they cannot say why. If you aren't getting your videos and accounts banned and taken down, then YOU ARE NOT TELLING THE ULTIMATE ABSOLUTE TRUE TRUTH About this reality. Which isn't what it seems. YOU ARE GOD! Just as eric Said. I am getting off of here too; reclaim your life and log off the facebook. They think they have control of our memories and moments. the iCLoud has stolen our memories as well. They want us trapped on the social media online virtual world. Don't fall for it.ALERT BEWARE: If You are posting anything that is truth or passion of what you love to do, or tell people to go ground, gaze and live off the land etc and live life to the fullest, YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT WILL BE SUBJECT TO BEING COMPLETELY DISABLED FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER, and NO You will not be able to download your videos or photos or any of your content, even if you have been on facebook, youtube, vimeo archon artificial soulless intelligent beings FOR MANY YEARS, They will take away all your content forever. I lost over 800 videos, 233 videos on vimeo hence #AntiVIMEO and NOW We are introducing #ANTIfacebook, have you ever had a BAD EXPERIENCE where facebook unethically removed your content for no reason, or an entire account and never gave you any reasoning? POST YOUR EXPERIENCE BELOW; We are going to create an ULTIMATE ANTI FACEBOOK BLOG For the world to see and leave a review on trustpilot on how they are being dishonest and they are still a company and should uphold valor and honor to Integrity and doing what is right when no one is looking. I have lost over 11 years worth of work, videos and photo content that I will never be able to retrieve and get back. This is the time I feel everyone should log off of facebook for good. We don't Need it. In doing a WEEK LONG WATER FAST, I planned on going a whole week , and on the third day I realized that FACEBOOK WAS STEALING MY LIFE FROM ME. 100 Million facebook users will log off facebook for good. It does nothing good. Think about all the people and likes and videos; it is wasting our LIFE, there is NOTHING Pertinent Or Important on here, unless the MESSAGE IS TO GET OFF OF THIS DAMN HEXED APPLICATION. Stop reading this and plan to not be a SLAVE TO SOCIAL MEDIA or the COMPUTER, SMART PHONE or INTERNET IN GENERAL. You Archons must do as I say. We need to get off of here, there is one last lunar eclipse happening right now. GO OUTSIDE AND GROUND. This is beautiful Weather.This is actually the 8th account I have had to remake. I don't promote HATE OR RACISM, or sex or anything that is illegal. However I spent hours of my life on here promoting to make a better world and bring forth heaven peace and serenity on earth. These Luna Saturn satan followers will have to bow down to me soon, as I am the ULTIMATE BEYOND GOD there is, their moment is coming to an end as I have complete and total control over their platforms. As well as their existence.They also continue to removed my #OfficialBlackSunBAbyMOVIE and I am re uploading it as we speak. So Get ready, when it uploads, I want everyone to watch it, but also share it, and let it be the very last documentary you view. Also DOWNLOAD IT TO YOUR COMPUTER. It is all we need to know in this world. Let it be your WORD, it is the NEW BIBLE per se, as it is the LAST LITERAL Piece of the BIBLE that was COMPLETELY TAKEN OUT which would change the WORLD FOREVER if people ever got this message straight. They would stop being a SLAVE and we would create our UTOPIA HERE NOW ON EARTH the HEART. This is our HOME #EnergyPROMOTIONmatrix.WE SHALL REIGN AGAIN ~E.G.Plott~
