Hack your Film

Social Media Consolidation Update

Posted on October 28th, 2009 by Danny F. Santos

Social MediaAs the months have gone by, I’ve been check out a slew of social media services. I unknowingly started using google docs more and more until I’ve reached the point where I use it almost exclusively. I also was able to get on Google Wave’s preview! While it’s pretty bare bones at the moment, it’s fun to toy with.

I’ve also been planning on uploading my earlier short films to Vimeo but the drive they’re on doesn’t want to talk to my mac. Talks to Ubuntu just fine, but the is read only… Still working out that particular problem.

I finished some online viral promo’s which I’ll be uploading fairly shortly. This was for a local improv show and I’m pleased with the way they ended up, I’ll keep you informed of that.

Back to social media, I’m still not sure how many of these services I’ll continue to use. Right now I have them all updating at the same time. Twitter has my largest following by far, so I’m keeping that one for sure.

One other thing going on is I’m on a big productivity kick. Cleaned up my home office and my work desk, it feels damn fantastic to finally clean those suckers up! In the process I simplified them, tossed a bunch of uneeded crap and reorganized. I highly recommend this to everyone.

As I restructure my life, I’d like to get into blogging more. I’m a pretty passive online kinda guy but the reality is that if I want to move forward as an independant director, I’m going to need serious backing from somewhere. And couple of fans I guess.

State of the Union

Last little while has been insane!  Got 2 films in post right now, one has to make a crazy deadline the other I’ve been dragging my heels on it.  I also got a paid gig on a commercial piece as an assistant director, looks like my star is rising or something.

Still loads of stuff to be worked out but I’m trying to keep new projects to a minimum as I’m still playing catch-up with the stuff on my slate. While I’m getting things done, my productivity keeps slipping farther and farther behind in some projects so I’m trying to stop new projects from happening.  That said, 2 new projects have appeared out of thin air.  I guess it’s the kind of scenario some people hope for.
