Video Blogging - Just say, "Yes".

Have you set up your Blogger account yet?

I went to a presentation of the Filmmakers Workshop, generously hosted by the Bernard Toale Gallery, in the South End tonight. Two expert video bloggers, Steve Garfield and Ravi Jain, creator of the DriveTime vlog, showed us how it's done.

Whatever blog type you have, Blogger, Wordpress, etc., you can make it into a vlog, easily.

Looking for distribution channels for your next film? Want to tease your established audience with your new, not-yet-completed project? Want to create buzz for your new project but you're afraid nobody knows who you are? Want to sync with the immediate pulse of the web? Video blog.

Want to see how it's done? First take a complete tour of Steve Garfield's website. It may take a while, but you will emerge refreshed and rejuvenated, popping with new ideas.

Next time, I'll show you how to set it up. ; o)
