Soooo…..
The hardest part to starting any blog is wondering what the heck to write about. Probably the hardest part about using social media in general is figuring out where to write what. Should I keep “blogging” on my Facebook wall or my business page? Should I post on my blog? Should I tweet that I just blogged, then share it on Facebook? And why the heck do I need to use all these social media applications? Can’t I just stick to the one I like best?
Well, there’s something for me to write about, and an example that ya just gotta do it, and you’ll be able to figure it all out as you go. But rest assured, I’ll be addressing these issues for myself in my web bloggin web blog.
Meanwhile, while I’m making dozens of changes to my own business model for Bowser Multimedia Productions, including adding this and a few other blogs and a new twitter account, and figuring out these very questions for myself, I was curious to what you would want to see here. If you happened by again, what would you most want to see in this blog?
..a boy and his movie camera..
It all started in the 80′s with an 8mm movie camera and some slicing tape…
I lied. My fascination with film production started much earlier. I say fascinated because like or love is not the correct adjective. In fact, loathing might come closer to describe how I felt about dad shouting to us on Christmas morning, “OK, come in!”
He’s lucky the allure of Christmas presents was enough to give us the strength to endure the 1 billion candle power (I just learned the term candle power is obsolete. Did you know that?) of light emitting from my dad’s head in the form of a camera light.
I still wonder how those damn things were marketed. Is Sears to blame? Blind your family this year as you capture the wonder and joy of Christmas! yay
The blinding light shooting from my dad’s skull, or there abouts, wasn’t what fascinated me about film production. Watching my dad sit at the dinner table, hunched over a little device with a razor blade and watching him pull tabs off of tiny little strips of tape, placing them into the device, watching him press down and voila, my dad the family historian cinematographer. Now we could watch hours of uninterrupted home movies instead of watching them 5 minutes at a time for even more countless hours. How cool was that?!
