Short entry this time around as I'm in the middle of some downtime since I started blogging. The most video work I've done has been making copies of Release The 7"!. I spread the word on the DVD on the Facebook pages of the involved bands, as well as on my new Twitter account (nice to be here in 2009). That and the YouTube trailer helped a little, as some of the band members have requested the free copies they're entitled to. Just started getting some feedback on it today - positive no less - and that makes me feel really good.
I also started spreading the word the old fashioned way by finally getting a newspaper ad. Despite what I previously thought, it is indeed possible to get in contact with these people. My only gripe with the ad, albeit a small one, is that the graphic designer manipulated the picture I've been using. It could have been worse, as originally he had a stock photo in its place. Otherwise, I think it came out good. It's currently running in a weekly paper that serves my general area, and I'll possibly get it going in a larger paper. Hopefully this will lead to new projects.
