[videoblogging] Re: Are any of you Vloggers on the Myspace Film side?
Enric... There is a complete myspace film side. Most of the discussion on this thread relates to the base myspace side. Recently MySpace released a part of the site specifically devoted to filmmakers as they did earlier for musicians/promoters. It's actually great. You can network with other filmmakers and actors etc. There is a filmmaker forum on there as well with some interesting discussions, a filmmaker search if you're looking for people in certain areas, names etc. You can also have videos etc. on your page much like the music side has jukeboxes on theirs so that bands can share their music. Someone mentioned that they would stick with traditional websites. My view is why not have both. If you are a filmmaker, one of the things that is imperative outside of making great work is to brand oneself and one's company. MySpace Film is a great avenue to do that or be a part of that for you. I really think that a lot of people in this discussion aren't aware that there is a specific side to Myspace that is filmmaker specific. It really is worth taking a look at. It's not just teenagers. It holds some very impressive indie filmmakers, festivals, etc. It was officially unveilled this year at the Sundance Festival and they are committed to giving filmmakers a community to share ideas and network within. I can say that I have noticed a marked increase in visit to my website with traffic directed from my MySpace Film page. This alone has value to me. It has also directed a large amount of visitors to my vlog as well. In the number of a few thousand extra visitors this month alone. Like I said, this to me has value and if this is a free service that you can use as an advertising avenue for a filmmaker and his production company, how can you argue with it as being a great thing? I have also used it to supplement my casting call on mandy.com and that has been great as well. Within this part of myspace, there are other groups/forums to join where filmmakers talk about filmmaking on all aspects from editing/cinematography/directing/festival submissions etc. Okay so that's my schpiel and I'm sticking to it. Remember, I'm not talking about the regular MySpace side, I'm talking about the MySpace Film side which looks similar but is very different.

Deidre, You have to start a newpage, they don't have migration capabilities. It is a seperate side of the site. Before you sign in you will see a filmmakers link, click there and it will take you to a filmmaker sign up. You will need a second email address as it won't allow you to use the same one you used on your current page unless you delete that page. It is designed to prevent people from flooding myspace with multiple pages under one email account. When you sign up, link me as I'm curious as to what other vloggers are doing.

Bill... Wouldn't you agree though with a membership of over 55 million it would seem to last a bit longer than just 15 minutes. It has an international membership that is continually growing. One advantage that it has over the aol community aspects is that it is constantly expanding and changing to allow for more focus within certain areas. I still think that you guys are caught up on the whole myspace when I was talking about the film specific side which is a great place for those looking to network. Someone spoke about maintaining an identity earlier in this discussion which seemed to be a slighting comment towards those who look to use it for that reason. This seems odd considering that all business see to maintain an identity thus the term branding is used so often and people pay huge amounts of money to ensure that they maintain that identity in the public arena. If you are looking to brand yourself within a community what better place to do that than in a place where that community is gathered together with the same focus in mind. Does it work? It must or else you wouldn't see all of the film festivals and filmmaking journals coming together to support the Myspace film side of the site and maintaining a presence on their as well. I personally think it is a solid place to brand yourself. Today I was approached by a writer of a European magazine to do an article on this doc that I'm working on. This writer approached me from my myspace account. This is the 2nd time that this has happened this week alone from there. Pretty cool in my opinion. I was also offered to be in a new film festival next year in Las Vegas off of my myspace account. They found me there via networking and contacted me and we spoke furthernext thing you know the conversation turned to something very positive. Sometimes things may start as one thing but can evolve to something that can be very beneficial to a certain community as myspace seems to be doing for indie filmmakers.

[videoblogging] Re: Are any of you Vloggers on the Myspace Film side?
Steve, I understand what you are saying and can agree that the main side of myspace falls into much of the parameters you describe contain. My own excitement towards myspace is really rooted in what they are doing for the film and music side. Right now, this seems to be one the best place on the web to network with other filmmakers. I belong to quite a few listservs like doculink that are amazing and have given me tons of input as well as some solid connections from distribution to production crews. There are forums like indiefilmpage.com, b-independent, and dvxusers etc. that are great forums, but there is something truly unique about what myspace film offers. Is it the end all, be all? No, not a chance. Is it a great place to network with other and let others know what you're up to as well as see what they are up to? Without a doubt. I'm lucky enough to have had some great experiences on the myspace page as well as from my blogger site. They have given me some solid exposure that complements my own website and personal connections. At the end of the day, whatever level of filmmaker you are from a student to an Oscar winning director, you need to establish and maintain an identity in the public and your peers eyes. Myspace Films is just another place to do that.

But yeah if it continues to adapt, doesnt become more of a victim of its own sucess, and carves new niches for itself, then it may well last a long long time. A lot comes down to the motivations of those who own/control it, if it blooms in terms of film community, but this community doesnt sustain myspace in the way advertising to presumedly millions of young consumers does, and those consumers desert myspace to go to groovyhipnewcoolplace in 6 months, who is to say news corp will keep it going in the longterm?

[videoblogging] Re: Are any of you Vloggers on the Myspace Film side?
Jay, In the film part, it is set up for people to network and communicate with other people in the industry from festival people to filmmakers, editors, actors etc. It is just another avenue where people communicate. It also is a place that people use to brand themselves in a sense. Meeting others and getting others to know them and their work. When you have a community that is drawn together for a common goal, it is much easier to achieve that goal than on a standard blog where one has to hope that someone finds them. I think you see a lot of indie people on there with that strong desire to network, communicate etc. I have used it for casting, networking around this new doc that I'm shooting and it has been amazing actually from dealing with subjects, crew and actors on various projects. I've also been contacted for projects to collaborate on that are quite exciting. The blog itself isn't that much different than a normal blog except for the context that it exists within. This context is for networking and the blogs tend to be driven towards the project that you are working on. In the regular myspace world, not the film or the music, it's just a place where people are hooking up with old friends or new friends/dating potentials. All in all it is a pretty amazing concept that seems to be drawing a ton of attention obviously and has proven to be a great marketing tool for the music and film industry.
