The problem with the weekend is that people take time off work and so when you are anxiously waiting for an answer from a person/place/agency, it means having to wait an extra two days! It's all good though, it means I am looking forward to Monday this week (for a change), in the hopes that I should finally have some answers as to whether people/places/agencies are able to help this project out! Fingers and toes crossed for the best and bring on Monday!!!!!
I am just waiting for replies from people that i have reached out to for help either financially or just people/places I have asked for help from to try and rally up support for the web series. This is sometimes a frustrating time because you can never force people to answer you when YOU want them to and if you harass them too much then they will just not want to help you out at all. The trick is to have a healthy balance of harassment as well as giving people space. It's a difficult skill to achieve because different people/places/agencies need to be dealt with differently. Hopefully, this week i should hear back from some of these people/places and fingers crossed that I get positive responses!
Last night, Jade and Lana made an introduction video for the YouTube channel. I was unable to be there for this due to prior committments and to be honest, I am a little awkward in front of a camera - it's not really my thing! I can't wait to see what the girls game came up with and will add a link to this blog as soon as it has been edited and put up!
Work is continuing on the first episode and it is steadily getting there. Jade is still hard at work and things are coming along. The rest of our crew are working hard to get their parts of the project sorted and so, I thought they deserved a bit of a shout out! Thank you so much to all of our hard working crew - you're doing an AMAZING job and we appreciate all the blood, sweat and tears you have put into this project so far! Cheers, guys!
I have spent the last few days trying to rally up support for our project. I have sent e-mails to lots of different people and places to ask if they are able to help us promote and gain some support for the project. Now, it's just a matter of waiting for those people to reply back to me, so fingers crossed that happens soon and I get a positive response from all!
We have been receiving some dialogue recordings from our amazing voice artists! The recordings have been great and if any revisions have been needed, the voice artists have been more than obliging to get the job sorted for us. This post is really just to say a HUGE thank you to our amazing voice artists for all the hard work that they have put in so far and we really appreciate your support and effort! You guys are amazing and we are so lucky to have you onboard!
After looking into using social media ads and Google Adwords to try and promote our web series and in particular the release of the first episode, we have decided that as we are a low budget project that these options will not be viable. It is really expensive to advertise using these platforms! So, we are definitely going to have to go back to basics and advertise by word of mouth and by hitting the streets! I am kind of looking forward to doing this kind of advertising because it means I get to talk to lots of different people and share this project that has been a long time in the making!
