How to make more product out of product and make that make money

Compilations work

I spent many years attached to ITV as a creative head of department and advised on many shows, being attached to Emmerdale for 26 years and famously now meeting Status Quo on Coronation Street (whom I had not seen since the 1970's when I was a radio DJ). During this time much of my work found it's way into ITV 2 compilation specials, like best Emmerdale Weddings etc... you can make a compilation of anything if you have bulk content. No different for a web series except we are more intertwined by nature. More linked.

We have ended up in cruise travelling, but it doesn't matter which market you choose. Model railways, bone chine ... hey, who cares the art or film making is the same and it all outweighs drama. Baking cakes sells more than actors trying to act, especially unknown actors. Sad as it seems, the audience has moved on. The problem with picking a popular market like travel, is that everyone and their mother is doing it, so competition is high.

The point of this blog is that after making a number of movies, then 61 episodes (so far) of the on line drama Shades Of Bad, we have in the last year posted 100 travel films on Daily Motion and have an active OPERA TV APP.

The art is to film now for the current and also add bits for the future unknown compilations. Coverage I hear you shout. Yes I agree, and links and turns to cameras. One day you will need them.

Then there is the art of on-line ANNOTATIONS. Now if you don't know what these are, these are boxes you add after UPLOAD and they are a feature of Daily Motion and YouTube to add a click here now box, to go to another film. So compilation, addresses the viewer to watch the multiple content.

As an example, I offer this last effort. A cruise, links to the 10 or so individual films, to an episode of the web series and much more. Hours of work, but less than the hours it will take to market is.  
P&O Azura Iberia Cruise A628
OK, you can call it overcast, but 7th October was a great day to sail, nice weather, flat seas and the Azura set sail under Captain Robert Camby.... etc etc .. that is my audience....
this is the compilation film with the annotations.
It contains.......
MADEIRA -We arrived in Madeira on the 11th Oct and left the next morning at 1130 hours..... etc three separate films made in one day ashore.

12th October was an afternoon to relax and prepare early for the evening.... no, that is what we tell the passengers but we down load and rough edit.
LA PALMA 13th Oct was a long day ashore with a back on board at 17.30 the ship sailed at 17.38 towards .... we are down loading and editing, the first film is nearly finished and I am actually laying music.

TENERIFE 14th Oct was a long day, re-borading the ship at the end of an exhausting but very enjoyable day at 22.30.....that is what we said and it was, but three films in three different locations. Now editing again late into the night.

GRAN CANARIA 15th Oct was another normal hours on shore... and this day tiredness hit, we only made two short films, and the compilation of the two.
LANZAROTE 16th Oct. ... we shot us having lunch ....
17th we were at sea so we shot some tips on the ship and edited in the bar in the crows next

LISBON on the 18th Oct was a bad start  ... traffic and every hour lost is a directors headache. But, the film was completed..... On Segway. I need a steady cam operator on the crew!

19th and 20th the films start to get edited and tightened and the work load for the next week in the edit suit is scheduled.

How do you turn that into cash. That is by building tens of thousands of followers which let us say is a five year plan with no guarantee of success ... unless you refuse to give up. Then gaining partnerships and affiliations. It is not just from your Adsense and YouTube clicks. Take a look at our web site (click here www.DorisVisits.com) to see how we are now connected. And we are only just getting accepted with 32k twitter followers across the accounts. 

Now, seriously, filming car boot sales is more likely to get you a TV gig, and is easier, but it is the style and the lightweight crew that is the secret. The shooting with an eye for volume. 18 months in now, we have all but junked our first Shades Of Bad web site, and are merging Facebook Pages into a more focussed platform. I have never thought we had enough work and content to shout and market to the public, but, we are getting there. If you check out a model we have seen doing the same, David's Been There, he is 8 years in and it is just working.

I think Doris Visits should have 300 films in three years, but we are just about to add our Fiji work and interviews with Rick Parfitt. They are all old material worked into travel. We aim to sell copies of the old BULA QUO film and Albums, make the sequel financeable, and raise profile to the travel site.

You content will have a different look, but it will have the same need for growth and interweaving.

LG15: Anchor Cove: I remember lonelygirl15 (lonelygirl15)



Sometimes, you've just got to take a moment to remember. 

--DB

-----------

We won't forget. 

You won't find anything from me today. More to come later. For now... you still have some things to reflect on. 

Canaries don't cross the Atlantic, but this one did. They put her on a train and thought they would never see her again. But canaries are meant to sing. They are meant to be seen and heard, not to die in a darkened mine. 

The doctor never had a residency, but then again, neither do field medics. Patch up enough people over time and that just ends up being your calling. Even for those who cannot pay. It was better to heal strangers than bandage up friends. It was better to not have any friends at all. Or so one convinces himself.

Continuous web series content & output and what you need to support it.

Gamers to Grey Pound -

Web Series, what is that, 2 films a week? Three? How to prepare and save money...

With Gamers and YouTubers smashing the art of web series entertainment, those of us with film ambitions of any kind look to the future and ask what will work? What does it take to have continuous output? Will I need to upload to the new Facebook video platform everything I have ever done? Where is it? How much data is that?

Established web contributors and real series makers have thousands of fans and videos. Content is king and they are at the top because, by accident or design they have succeeded. What you do not see, as it is not Factor where the failures are televised....  is the queue of people that stretches round the block and back who failed; those with a dream and a huge exaggerated idea of their own ability and talent. But even those who fail are interesting. Being persistent is what counts. The continued content. Push push push and push harder. The ones in the middle are forgettable, the ones who just made three or four films.

It is the singer-songwriter, the content producer that rises to the top. The one who builds an audience, who listens and adapts. Content has been disposable in the first YouTube generation, maybe Game content is disposable as it dates. However, the second generation of content providers are making content that will last. Content that is not just stored at Google and may be required on new and yet to be launched platforms.

Continuous content is what makes a series and a channel. Learning your audience and growing with them. So to run continuous shows requires more than just a dream to sing or act or pick up a camera. It requires data and planning.

It will take time. I spoke with a guy who has a very successful travel channel with thousands of videos and 140k followers. He is 8 years in and just turning the corner. 
From Shades Of Bad we developed www.DorisVisits.com and we have just hit 100 films in just under a year as well as our drama series.

The Grey Pound

The secret is to find something you can do or provide to an audience that needs to and wants to consume it. Doris Shades Of Bad was a drama series made by mature or senior women, testing the on-line market to the grey pound market. The grey pound market was responsible to over 50% of all purchases last year so it has a positive, but few use the web as their off spring do, so it has a negative.

What can you make that they want, and it certainly is not a drama series. They sit in front of a box for those. But like all markets that are not served by the tele box in the corner, whether how to wear a haji or put make up on dark skin, there are audiences out there who want content. Your job as a film maker is to make films... for an audience!

Content and volume

If you are going to make content you will need to work out how much and when and how and where to store it. Doris is stored in coloured plastic boxes!!! See here. Enough of those fancy expensive drives!

Two web shows a week is content, content that will be re-visited in compilations, in re-edits, in reference material. Material stored at HD takes space. Since starting Shades Of Bad in June 2015 and adding the saved media not yet used from two of our previous feature films which will enter the new on-line TV channel in some form, we have 60Tb. For those of you who think size does not matter, think again. Sixty terabytes! We did move to thunderbolt drives when we bought the Red One cameras and through the Epic and Dragon era to edit on Apple, but they have since lost the drive for that technology. We have started to look for other ways to save data. We have now followed the method our composer used slide in and out pluggable hard drives that just go into a dock. This has to be the tidiest way to save data

CHEAPEST HARD DRIVES

We now use hard drives that seem to be inside the other fancy equipment that increases their price, 
http://amzn.to/2eAJSUS

These blank hard drives are solid and reliable and the cheapest way to save data. 6Tb is currently about £200 / $200

To ignore how you are going to service and store your web content is daft, because no matter how hard you plan it will change if your series works and expands. Need for data will continually grow with your success so it is best to plan and plan for hard drives that will live through any change in computer by a simple lead to the docking station.

Drive that can be filed away in cases.


<iframe style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=GB&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=dorivisi-21&marketplace=amazon&region=GB&placement=B013HNYVCE&asins=B013HNYVCE&linkId=7083ebad1c1bc802506b6eca88945011&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe>

DOCKING STATIONS

We connect the hard drives as required with a docking station such as this
http://amzn.to/2eFnXe0

But we may get more fancy as our demands are growing. Even the back up files we move away from our computer to a separate drive or the computer gets clogged !

<iframe style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=GB&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=dorivisi-21&marketplace=amazon&region=GB&placement=B018EOZGU2&asins=B018EOZGU2&linkId=252262f627a6934afca08a295a76a8cc&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe>

Data can then be re-visited, re treated as trends and markets change. Episodes edited, tighten, recoloured and made into compilations. 70% of all time will be at the edit, at the computer, marketing and servicing it. keep everything and keep it filed. The stuff I threw away years ago, I wish I still had.

Take a look at our series Doris Visits, aimed at the senior market with cross over. The latest film from Madeira. Click here in Daily Motion.
Or for Madeira Tropical Gardens look below in You Tube. You will need that product to ever serve new platforms.
