I want to make one adjustment to Rich's contribution. In reference to #13, WGA registration is not a copyright and does not entitle you to ownership of your work. You have to actually copyright it with the Copyright Office. WGA registrations can hel…
Hey Ryan I would like to add to this. I just lit my show, among most others I produced recently. I've had great results using available light along with tunsgten. I never use HMI's. They are too clunky for me, and since I mostly shoot on film I don'…
If you create a show to make money, then a general support among the creators is a big yes. But this is a competitive business, so you have to consider a middle man. Maybe linking to other indie shows as a Cross-promotion back and forth is not so si…
I agree with TubeMogul. It seems to have a very useful business model. I have an account, but I have not used it yet. But I intend to use it soon.
As for Blip, Babelgum, etc. I can suggest a couple of things. One, don't get discouraged. Getting acc…
I want to add the Felicia Day story. If you look back at her soundbytes, she describes going into her local coffee house with Wifi , and left a stack of promo postcards near the cash register. She did a grassroots thing, focused on an existing audie…
I remember a film school class specifically on this discussion. And I've AD'd many shows professionally and shooting CU's first is not a rule of thumb. In my experience, you have to judge for yourself as a Director or AD what to shoot first. That's…
The only problem is that it is an exact carbon copy of E! online. Not very new and exciting. After one click, I've seen all I ever need to see on that portal. Looks like a lazy attempt at making revenue on repurposed interview footage.
There's Sam and Jim who did their podcast a few years ago. Great for anyone aspiring to write for TV in today's market. These guys quit restaurant jobs and moved their families to L.A. to be writers in Hwood. That's guts.

This is weird and ironic. Weird because this is so out of touch. It's like Buffet is 'trying' to reach the kids and one of his yes men suggested a "web series". It's a mockery to the so-called format. And this is Warren Buffet-- The most anti-media…
Hey Rich. Submitting to IMDB can be tricky. They scrutinize every new title, and it can be frustrating. However, many I''ve seen are able to add and delete on IMDB as they please without meeting any requirements. But I believe Brady formerly from TF…
Hey Rich... Thanks for your hard work on the site. But I wanted to throw into the discussion, two questions and some added thoughts; First, are you stating here that the Streamy awards were "designed" to insult and ridicule? If so, I don't see how o…
If Prince wants to make money off his music, he can do so using the internet. Music, film, and TV as we used to know it has become something of the past. The genie is out of the bottle. Once Prince lets go of the past he can compete against big busi…
