Inside Disney’s Animation Secrets: How Brandon Violette Crafts Stories That Come to Life
So. while the editors are busy doing that, I am preparing for the Kickstarter campaign. I’m hoping to run it in May, so keep an eye out for that. Basically, my plan is pretty simple. I’ve created about 20 short form videos and I can whip these out now pretty quickly. But I’ve probably created about two hours of content. So, as I said, 20 videos, anywhere from maybe five minutes to 10 minutes long. I basically go through every aspect of producing this micro budget film and explained exactly how I did it. From writing the script to getting crew, cast, locations, the food, all the different jobs that were done. I just sort of run through quickly in an individual video, trying to just share some of this knowledge while it’s still fresh in my mind. I’m going to start releasing these videos on TikTok and Instagram, YouTube Shorts, all of those types of platforms, probably three weeks before the Kickstarter. And so hopefully I can build some following with that, which will help the Kickstarter and then ultimately help the release of the film. We need a bunch of passionate fans who will buy the film and review it on the various platforms when we finally do release it. So hopefully these TikTok videos and then the Kickstarter, hopefully the TikTok videos will lead to the Kickstarter and then hopefully the people that contribute in the Kickstarter, they will be our followers that go along and help us bring awareness. And as I said, review the film as it does start to get released. So anyways, that’s the plan. We’ll obviously see how it works out. I’ll give an update here on the May podcast when that comes out. But anyways, I should start releasing these videos, as I said, in a couple of weeks. I’ll send in an email to everyone who’s on the SYS list if you care to check out these videos. And if you want to join the SYS email list, just go to selling your screenplay.com/guide. That’s the main SYS email list. Obviously these TikTok videos will be free. So, if you’re looking to produce a micro budget film, definitely keep an eye out for these videos because I think it will be quite helpful just to kind of see how I put this film together. Hopefully it will be helpful for others as well. Anyways, that’s what I’ve been working on. Lots of things coming out here in the next couple of months. But now let’s get into the main segment for this podcast. Today I’m interviewing writer, Brandon Violette. Here is the interview.
