• Description : This talk has been evolving over th...(more)e last year since we began to give it and during that time more things have happened including releasing the film on YouTube for free with our spout.com/foureyedmonsters 1 dollar per sign up campaign. This talk details the creation of our film through the audience building phase of releasing the video podcast and then the theatrical release, DVD release and free YouTube release. We then talk about the doors this process has opened up includinig an un-anounced 100K distribution deal to get our film and video podcast on TV and get the DVD re-released and this time be available in retail. Stay tuned at www.foureyedmonsters.com for further developments around that. The audience had some good questions when we were done and everyone we met that night at the reception seemed very interested in what we had accomplished and wanted to talk to us about their projects. Unfortunately we can't watch everyones film and give everyone advice and distribute other peoples work. People have to look at what we've done and what we've posted online and deduce from all of that how we can help. We need to spend our time making our own films. I sometimes feel it's bad enough that we self distributed our film instead of making more episodes over the past year but it's even worse to then spiral off into becoming a distributor when really the more impactful thing I feel we have to contribute to the world is our ideas in the form of filmmaking and other creative projects that can communicate and connect with people. The mechanics of how we make that connection are important but it's like getting too obsessed with which camera and computer to buy if you get too entrenched in this stuff. So that is why our power to the pixel presentation is the last time we are doing a talk until we have some new content made. Unless someone is going to pay some obscene amount of money we can use to sync into our projects. But if you are doing a conference and you want to talk about Four Eyed Monsters, you can show our 12 minute distribution story video which is still a work in progress so re-download it just before you show it incase there is a new eddition. Or you can download the keynote or powerpoint presentation that we made and give the case study presentation yourself. And you can also put this video out in any edited form or just embed it on your blog or whatever you'd like. All he materials are there for you to not have to do anything. But again, in the interest of raising money, we are available to be hired to do remote work. So we can present the slide show virtually or simply do a Q&A through live video conference after someone else has presented the case study. So thanks again Liz for having us be a part of power to the pixel because it truly is the best conference for us to have done our last talk at for a while. (less)
