I know exactly what i want to be when i grow up, do you?
Ok, i am grown up, kinda, well physically i'm grown up and i can be mature when i need to be, but most of the time i want to just behave like a child, personally its my secret to staying young, screw Olay, think young be young.
So this year, i want to make Fisk Film something that people, on Youtube anyway, will know, a name that says quality.
I'll be making more sketches, and will start to make short films, i might not have the high end cameras to do that but, i have the talent (Well i think i do anyway) but in order to make that happen i need more people, 2 would be good more would be better.
Writing these blogs is more then just something to do, trying to widen my social media foot print, which is also something i'm looking in to, but it helps me with my writing, by doing this every day, it'll help me to get in the habit of writing, every day. So i can work on those scripts, its also a creative outlet, just sitting here typing up whats on my mind at any given moment helps, seeing as i might come up with a new script idea, at any given moment.
Not that i'll be posting script ideas here, or on my website, that would be silly.
Although, if i do write script that i'm not going to produce i'll post them over on my site where you can, if you look, download them and make them yourself.
First, i need a job so i can earn money and keep the vultures (i.e. Banks) off my arse. And to get a new iMac.
Then, i need to get my Fisk Film, and my VLogging youtube channels on the partner program, the revenue from that will help pay towards camera and lighting equipment so i can make better quality films for you. Because lets face it, your my target audience.
The hope is to become a self employed film maker, and if that means i post all my films and other videos on Youtube then so be it.
I know i can't count on the support of my family, so i'm not even going to inform them of what i'm trying to do, but i will be using social media, like Twitter and Facebook to get the word out about my "Product" so the chances of them hearing about it is pretty high. Already they think i'm wasting my time, but i never listen, you get shit in this world if you don't go after it, and don't wait for someone else to come along and give it to you. If you want something bad enough and can put in the hours, then you can achieve anything, just ask @JenFriel (www.talknerdytomelover.com) She is a big inspiration for me, she knew what she wanted and went after it, good times and bad she stuck with it and now she pretty does what she wants to do, and earns a living, awesome Girl. Tell her i said hi. (@FiskyJay).
In the post my goals were maybe to big, i wanted to be a Film maker, making budgeted films for festivals and features worthy of Hollywood, but i see now that i was trying to reach to high to early. Don't get me wrong that is still a goal, but i've changed the strategy to get there some what. Now i'm taking the route i should have taken 5 years ago, I should have joined Youtube and started uploading videos back then, because if i did, i'd most likely have what i really want in life, to be happy earning a living doing what i love.
Now Youtube is so vast its harder to get recognised or even get a video watched unless you post something that goes viral, And that isn't easy, if it were everybody will be doing it. I just want to make good quality films that people will like, i want to earn my subscribers and view in a legitimate way not my joining programs like Sub4Sub or EarnSubscribers.com i what people to want to watch my stuff, and not out of some stupid obligation. So my content needs to be good.
SO i need to produce good content, i will also need to sell my arse off, i'll need people to see this stuff, but i hate it when i receive message from youtube that say "Check out my new video, and if you like it subscribe" every time i see this i just delete the message, and so i do not want to do that, so how do i get the subscribers and views..?
If i know that i would already be on it, i do have friends and subscribers already, and i'm sure if my VLogs were more interesting i'd have more, so thats where i'll start, in my VLogs, using them to create anticipation, by posting teasers and telling my subscribers to tell there friends, start slow and build on that, the VLogs will contain behind the scenes stuff.
Another route is the "Attach video" route, by going to the Youtubers that have the highest view counts, like NigaHiga, Smosh, CharleTrippy, The Station, ShayTards, SMPFilms etc etc, by posting my films as attached videos on the videos that will be getting a fuck ton of view will increase my chances of more people seeing my stuff. That should work will for sketches, Skits and "quickies". But i'll need to find a more appropriate place to attach the serious films, like Black Box TV.
In the end to get what i want, i need to sell myself, if i don't do that, i'll be working 12 hours a day in some boring, dead end, weight gaining, lazy inducing, pathetic, imagination sapping security job forever, and i already made a promise that if i'm still doing security when i', 40, i'll commit suicide.
That might be a joke, but i'll let you know more on that the closer i get to 40, its still aways away yet.
ANother part of what i'm want, is to help others in the youtube community to create their own films and sketches, by making this my job, i can then spend time helping out others to achieve there goals and dreams of becoming a film maker or entertainer. By helping them create great quality films and sketches, AWESOME.
My hope is, that in two years, if the world isn't exploded in December 2012, is to make short films and or features and have them on a big screen in a film festival. To become self employed doing what i love. And you guys and social media can help.
