YFD: Revamped and Transformed
Hello readers!
It’s been a long time, huh?
This post is to notify you that a few things will be changing on this blog.
And it’s related to a lot of changes that have happened with me.
1. MORE POSTS: First of all, I will be posting more than once a year or one and a half years. Sorry about that. I got busy. Very busy. Making movies actually. And anyone who makes movies all the time knows that the schedule is crazy. this has been my two years. I’ve also been doing a lot of TV news production. I’m sure there were pockets of time when I could have written, but I wanted so spend that time thinking about anything but filmmaking. I’m sure anyone who has been on set for 18 hours every day for 4 weeks can relate to this. But now my schedule seems to be somewhat back on stable ground (almost too stable… Yawn) so i should be able to get into a regular writing schedule. At least more regular.
2. POST TOPICS: While I will still be writing from a first person perspective, I will not be writing posts about my latest project.
I will be posting information about filmmaking here, but not about my projects. My VFX projects are posted at leslielello.com. I haven’t figured out where I’m going to put other creations that are not VFX, but keep an eye on the blogroll on this site in the next few months.
3. RANDOM POSTS ABOUT MY OTHER PASSION (COMEDY): There will be no more of that. I will either start another blog or I will just not bother and celebrate my favorite things like Second City and South Park by jumping up and down in my bedroom. This is not because I don’t want to share as much as I want to write as much on topic as possible. I understand that the majority of readers that read this blog (or used to read this blog, before I took a 2 year hiatus) are interested in tips on making movies, and new about moviemaking, not on how awesome the latest episode of South Park was. Or even casting notices, because they don’t relate to anyone except to those in my area.
But I do still have tons of great, up-to-date information that is constantly coming in to me and that I’d love to share with you. It’s overwhelming at times, actually, because there is SO MUCH change in the entertainment industry in terms of practice and technology. And there is always better ways to build a better mousetrap. Things that I figure out along the way.
That’s what will be the content of this blog from now on.
I will do my best to write on as consistent a basis as possible, but life happens and work [offline] happens, which is a good thing.
