Having eyes to see . . .
So isn’t it great? All this time I’ve been telling you about meetings, and John1 working all the time on creating videos, and about what I do, and FINALLY you’re seeing, what all those words have been streaming (got a little Seussian there, love Seuss)
through the videos that are being posted on John’s YouTUBE channel. It’s all so exciting!
It just occurred to me that you get to see John’s work but you really don’t “see” mine. Like what I did a good portion of the day. So, let me give you the “eyes” to see it. I do all things internet related. So if its out there it came from here: the web site, setting him up on sites, his materials and name spread across the internet, all the learning of the new sites, working out the “Why didn’t that stupid thing work” problems, info in info boxes (if they are personal to him, such as “about me” boxes, I get him on the phone to sit with me for a bit and tell me what he wants in those little boxes, so those aren’t actually my words, those are my typing fingers entering text, then editing, and assisting with my, some times received, 2 cents. Which I’m okay with. I mean, it’s about him right? Not me. So my two cents may not have much worth. LOL), pictures, links, mentions, FB Fan Page posts, his soon to be blog (which I’ll only set up, he’ll solely write)… all the internet criss crossing you might catch glimpses of. That’s all my work and some of John2 too, can’t take 100% of the credit.
Being in our business is a team effort. And in the age of social media serving as a business vehicle you better believe that it takes a team. I also say all this because the name of my blog is “From Housewife To Film Maker” and I really don’t speak of actual film making. I’ve mentioned before the whys: we both can’t do the same thing, it needs to be subdivided and I was the best one for the tech stuff. But still new friends may be scratching their head a little puzzled with my content. So let me just say that when all the credits roll at the end of the movie, it took all those folks to create that piece of art. And that is the case here.
So, I am becoming a filmmaker. Just not exactly as I pictured it being, so far at any rate. Some day my job description may change, but in the meantime I really am happy doing this end of things. I’m learning to enjoy it really, well most of the time. One neat thing is I’ve found some terrific blogs that I follow now. Not that I have a blog roll to show them. That thing remains a mystery to me. Need more time to pick at that little bugger…
Yawn, Love ya,

-came home this evening to a note stuck in my door: Tomorrow they’re doing an inspection of all the apartments. Yippee Skippy. They’ve never done that before. And isn’t that dandy? So I had to get those dishes done. I had to tidy up the place. The thing that ticked me off was I had actually planned another of my big deep cleaning days the end of this week. Actually scheduled it into my life. And instead I had to take time I didn’t have to shift it forward.
