Just looking at footage from the recent shoot for Assisted Living episode 8 (and parts of 9 & 10) last week. We returned back to the apartment briefly where Dustin returns home and is welcomed back by his sister after her hissy fit. It’s been a couple episodes since working with Grace McPhillips who plays “Sarah” and it’s a dream. The only downside is being cramped back in what’s a drab apartment set. We introduced a new character “Daryl” played by comedian Darius Kennedy. He’s another Stand-Up Comedian, and Dustin’s only “black” friend. They bump into each other and catch up and Dairus invites him to perform his stand-up. It also gives him someone his own age to bounce jokes off of. (this will make more sense after people watch the episodes). Anyway, we’ll try to sneek in another shoot outside before winter really hits but either way we have a two month supply of episodes ready to go.

Started posting our videos to three new sites over the weekend. VEOH.COM , CRACKLE.COM and STUPIDVIDEOS.COM are three great sites. I love youtube for the mass qualities but I really am hoping that our videos, especially the NEW SERIES can find a permanent exclusive home. One of the pluses would be building a home and hopefully having a revenue stream so we can continue making the videos with less focus on us having to package the advertisers. Our advertiser base is growing but is still very small, it also gives us more time to focus on the creative.

I can’t wait to release the new videos we have produced but I want to try to see if we can find an exclusive home that will really market and promote the film. Hopefully more to come soon.

ViralFilmVideo.com has been hired to create new video clips for an upcoming feature film directed by Joe Otting called “Under New Management.” The clips that were filmed late October will play on video screens within the feature film and hopefully will be showcased at a theater near you on the big screen. Contractually we’re not able to show you the clips until after the movie premieres, but you’ll have to trust us that they look great. Thanks to Joe and everyone at The Good Film, LP for thinking of us and best of luck with the rest of the film.

I had the chance yesterday to check out my updates to the website on our PC laptop and I noticed several spots where things were noticebly different on a pc than on a mac. Michelle pointed out that this is not uncommon and that Duh, I should have known better. Part of me knew it was a possibility things would be different on a PC than a mac but I barely figured out how to update the site and didn’t want to admit there was a problem until I could figure out how to solve it. So for anybody who has looked at the site on a PC we know there’s still a little work to do. On a positive note, many of you have seen the new VFV logo designed by our graphic designer Augusto Villatoro. He’s a great designer and very efficient allowing us to use cool graphics when needed but still stay affordable. I hopefully will add the new logo header to the site today and look forward to doing more and more branding as time goes by.

We made some changes to our website on an interim basis and look forward to doing a better job of keeping things up to date. The best part about the website changes is that I was able to pull them off myself. Until recently, Michelle or Pat had to help update the website and as a result it was less of a priority because there was always something else to do. Now that I’ve finally sat in front of Dreamweaver long enough to learn how to make updates and we’ll hopefully be able to better keep the site updated. We still will probably switch down the road to a drupal site and are working on a prototype now, but we can take our time with the transition and really make a splash when we re-launch.
