Mine was relieving
Just Released a new video... (over 80 so far).
(video cover) created and copyrighted, using Corel Draw and Corel Photo-Paint by me.
For this one (finally, after over 80 films in the past 30 years, you should finally figure out a better way, but sometimes it just takes a while I guess). The strategy was a crowdfunding project announce to prior clients, this one began back in June of 2017, to raise capital the new video production process. It was actually used to fund the next two releases as that also is far more cost effective, it just takes a bit more planning . These two projects were 100% funded and the first run of the videos to be distributed privately prior to December 1st, 2017.
The first one has been fulfilled, and I am working today on the second video editing in the production process... the cover was completed with the first. Working the both covers one after the other seemed to be easier in flow and progression into the second, rather than come back to it at another time. I also prefer to work all out on a task before moving on, it flows much better this way as multitasking is definitely not my thing.
This was the first crowdfunding attempt
And I found it incredibly liberating and will set the stage for many more future releases.
Creating any film is a daunting task from conception to planning and execution, then production and finally writing an accompanying article. However this time the task and film crew was already paid and therefore less stress, with far more motivational quality. And as I found the major stress in the project was the financial aspects, crowdfunding the project eliminated that even before it was started... I would recommend this approach for anyone starting a lengthy and or costly venture.
So that said...for me it was a great day... tomorrow I head of to Barcelona for the International Kyusho Convention. I started the convention back in 2000 so this is the 17th annual event. It started in the US and has traveled to several countries already so that it is easier for travel on different areas around the world at different times. It also causes people to travel for an event, making it much more valuable an experience for them as they become more committed as well due to the greater efforts needed... much like a Steem Fest.
So I will try to keep the daily HWYD entry coming each day... thank you for watching this venture.
