Hi, once again it has been a while since there has been an update on this blog. Obviously there hasn't been much activity to speak of. It looks like things wont change too much until after Winter exams haha. Anyway, I want to talk about our recent decision to change our logo!
A while back, the idea popped into our minds that perhaps it is possible to make some money through small media production projects in the maritimes. Obviously this is easier said than done. But the basic plan was to begin by improving the credibility of our small-time production group and slowly raise our status to potential production partner!
Our target market? People that want to express themselves in the form of video media but lack the skills needed to do it themselves and also lack the budget to hire expensive professionals! And trust me, they are expensive! After working at a local studio in Moncton I learned that working to high broadcasting standards is very expensive and time consuming. However, but working to lower standards that are appropriate for online media the time needed to produce good results is much less as well as cost of production.
Our product? Inexpensive media production. Short films, music videos, company promos, advertisements, etc. The system works. Currently we are in the stages of compiling more resources for higher quality productions such as better tools and new special effects.
But what about Effed Productions!?
EP Studions is simply a new branch that originates from Effed Productions. Both production branches can co-exist. The "Effed Productions" youtube channel will be home to all of our EP Studios work and Effed Productions work. So not all of our future productions have to live up to the high standards needed to raise our credibility.
Ok, but how will you get credibility? The challenge in generating a name for yourself is that you must at first be willing to do ANYTHING to get started. In our case, we are willing to offer our video production services to anyone for any video production purposes (not including pornographic productions), for free! The theory is that the more we can get out there, the more people will see us and the more likely it is that we will be identified as a media productions solution!
And now our feature presentation.
Over the past few weeks the EP Team has been cooking up a few brand new scripts that may hopefully showcase the new benchmark in our production standards.
Untitled 1 - A short film that actually takes place 100% in a perfectly unlit, pitch black locked room. What can the camera see that the eye does not?
Aftermath (working title) - A new script in production about a few twenty-year-olds that get in trouble with the law when one of them is apparently framed to have murdered someone. This one will keep you guessing until the end!
High Stakes (revisit) - After years of postponing this production we think we may have finally found a good shoot location. A man is tested to the limits of his life in High Stakes!
Thats all I can say for now, check back in a few months for updates.
