I'm not sure if this will work but i am trying to post this blog as a part two to the 'Have you got any cream' blog, so if this is the first blog on the subject of a video on YouTube you have yet read, you might want to read the older post first. Or not and totally trip yourself sideways. Rock on.
[Oh and the other post has poor spelling]
Now where was I...
Right so anyway we drummed up some visually pleasing content, filmed it with an HD camera, edited it together in iMovieHD (a nice Mac application) and added some subtle video effects. Then Popped it on my new YouTube profile; Giraffe Music. [Youtube.com/GiraffeMusicUK] with a little information about the persons involved and a suitable amount of tagging. That was easy. But now the work begins.
Next I will have to put up a Giraffe Music (the organisation I have made to represent us musicians) Myspace for the purpose of Working The Context, and maybe even some other promotion things like Facebook pages. I will say though that in the interests of preventing spam and advertising taking over, Facebook is hard to promote music on. It's only really usefull if you already know the band and then seek out their page.
On the other side of the Working The Context fence, we had a guest speaker in the shape of a lady called Helen Searle who is a top brass music industry lawyer. The main thing she had to say was 'self-address your music to copywrite it' and use formal if not legally-binding 'paper' agreements with everyone you work with. And date them. Always date the paper.
