Proudly Failing – 3.28.08

4 06 2008

I failed, which ironically in English Seminar class is a good thing. I haven’t made the videos yet ( I fixed iMovie, turns out my audio input was too low), yet I think I made up for that by doing research, networking, and organizing my new blog. I found out how to get featured on YouTube. I also found some videos that is somewhat of a tutorial of how to get famous. My goal from now is to be consistent, making a script and a video every week (which is easier said than done).

While I am frustrated by lack of progress, I have nowhere to go now but up. As I mentioned before, I fixed iMovie so I’m filming today and hopefully get some editing done. I set up a comedian YouTube account (username: ajummas) and my number one goal is to get some subscribers. By simply doing I will have a fan base, which I ultimately hope will grow. For those of you who don’t know, by subscribing to a channel one is able to be notified when their channel is updated with new videos. If you took the liberty of checking how videos get featured above, it would say if emails were sent to the YouTube admin. That information is crucial and that’s where twitter comes into my plan. I don’t expect myself to get famous overnight, it’s going to be a long, hard, grueling process, but through time, effort, and a dash of luck Impossible is Nothing. According to the YouTube website, it states that if there are incoming email/demands/threats that a video is good, it gets thrown into the pool of consideration. I was planning on enlisting help from Twitter to do that.

I filmed all of the first script and I plan on posting it up today. I also subscribed to YouTube under the name “Ajummas” and as a comedians (I think that one of the advantages of that are like more disk space, exposure, better quality etc.). One of the issues I have though is my second script, which I feel in a sense is somewhat a big pile of jokes and makes little sense. Really. I think that the jokes are funny, no doubt about that, yet I think a little revising would do no harm.

Lastly, I have a confession/dilemma to shout out to the WWW. I’m applying to boarding school. I don’t mean to be a drama king (not queen people ;-) , but I’ve been placed on the waiting list for a Harvard-like school I would very much like to go. I’m sending a video to the admission officials for them to get a taste of my medicine. I think with a little international help, that opening spot is mine.
