So I had this idea. Well... more like i borrowed this idea. :) A few years ago a website for the sequal to one of my favorite video games was set up. Every week day the game developer would update the site with information regarding the game. maybe he'd announce a character. Or an Item, or a game mode. Sometime it would be something as lame as how to set widescreen or full screen. But every once in awhile he'd upload a trailer, or a video clip. those were great days. I checked the site almost every day for a year and a half. Just to see what was knew. And it was always something small. something that would only take me 5-10min to look at, then go on with my day. Well, i'm going to try that with MH. I've already started. I established a facebook "page" which is sort of like a facebook profile. It's actually way neater than i thought it would be. Gives me status on page views, photo views, interactions, etc. Other users on facebook become "fans" of my page and that allows me to send them updates. So, for the past 3 business days i've been updating the site. I actually have 2 months of updates planed out so far percisly to exactly what i'm going to upload on what day. and i've still got more content after that's up. If you read this and want to become a fan of the facebook page, or just check it out, here's the link:
I hope to use this strategy with the main website as well. once i have it up.
speaking of the website, i spent a few hours today combing the ASU website network looking for student orgs or departments that deal in web development. I sent a few emails out and have already gotten a response from a student org. They just requested more info, but it would be so awesome if i could get someone to work on the movie's website that knew what they were doing. even a little bit. Of course it will be the same situation as with the cast and crew. Some sort of deferred or pro-bono work. I'm hoping to find someone that is interested in just building a resume. Someone who has skills in web development but doesn't have content to apply them too. cross your fingers. :)
I spoke with my brother in law the other day about a game for the website. He's going to start working on it. I'm really excited about this. I hope we can make it happen. I'm not going to say too much about this yet. I want it to be a surprise.
I met with Johnny the other day about the posters. It was a good meeting. Very productive. I think we're on the same page. He should be getting me some drafts sometime this week.
I got about half way through touching up the movie it'self. I'll finish tomorrow and start burning DVD screeners for Harkins and such.
