Wow, the last couple of months have been nuts! I am currently out in Belleville attending school at Loyalist for my second year and right away got to promoting myself for Provisional. I met some new friends and one of them told me of his friend who interviews and promotes local music, so I got to know her and shes set me up with a couple of shows to film.
I started going to some of these shows and then started talking with the bands and they really wanted to see the footage that I'd filmed, also they started inviting me to their shows to catch their live performances. So what happens is I go to a show, film the entire set, talk with the bands, I upload the footage to Youtube and link it to my Provisional Facebook page, then add the bands on Facebook and just send the links around. So mainly have been doing a lot of networking and promoting, but its a lot of hard work and its starting to pay off. (Checked the stats on my Provisional Facebook page and its reaching people from around the world! 636 reached as of now.)
I've been filming the performances for free, but now that I've been meeting people from these bands, I got up coming projects that will make a little bit of cash. Two bands want motion graphics playing behind them while they play live, 2 bands want me to do a music video for them, as well as other non music projects on the go. Money aside, I'm having a great time and meeting new and interesting people.
Although, What I do need now is some serious cash in order to invest in this to make it look more viewable and enjoyable for an audience. People are watching and I want to give them the best damn experience they can take away from viewing these musicians as well as what ever else I plan on making in the future.
