Mr. Director Welcomes You to the Stickmen Pictureshow!

The first post is always the toughest, isn't it?

I guess the wise thing to do when faced with a challenge is: CHOOSE EASY.

So here is my "easy" answer for Blog Post Numero Uno:
The Stickmen Pictureshow is a place for me to write about and showcase my films and videos. I have a photographer friend who started posting his work on a blog, and now years later he has a thriving photography business and an awesome website chock-full of his work to show for it. I've done my fair share of video projects, both commercially and just for fun, but haven't really taken the time to share it with others. What's the point of making such a visual and interactive art piece, only to keep it a DVD of it in a box in the basement?

I will also be discussing the production process here, offering workflow ideas, technical tips and tricks, and other things that may be of use and interest to like-minded visual storytellers like myself. There are a lot of how-to sites and tutorials on things like camera work and editing, so this won't be anything new. However, as I discuss these things in context of actual projects that I work on, my hope is that readers will be able to apply the info and learn from my successes and, heaven forbid, failures.

So that's it. Come back often, leave me comments, and if you have any info or ideas that might save me time or heartache in my own projects, please share!

Until next time...
