Experimental films (part 2), iin?

56% Normal
24 Comments

I have made some experimental films which I have shared little segments of on Vimeo. However, for the past few months I've been wanting to upload them on youtube but I'm too paranoid. I'm paranoid that people I know like family members will find them. My videos don't contain any nudity or vulgar aspects, they focus on a different perspectives. As much as I would like them to be successful, a part of me wishes they would be obscure for a certain amount of time. I think the thing that scares me the most is the media getting a hold of my videos and the people I know watching TV and finding out about them.

I really do want to upload them. I'm starting to worry that people (other users) will begin to wonder when I'm going to upload something after all this time or if I'm just going to keep liking/commenting on videos. I keep telling myself that should go ahead and share them. That if I don't act now someone else might do it before me and get all of the glory. I really need help with this because I've been worrying about it so much that more important things in my life have been getting neglected.

IIN?

        Is an experimental film I have been looking forward to seeings with my eyes, and my ears like Circus Devils so....

        “Never before could a movie like "I Razor" exist. Now that digital video has reached a level of clarity and vibrancy that until now was not available on the commercial level, all manner of expression is fair game. None take this notion as seriously as I Razor.”

        “This movie has the spectrum of human emotion at the core of its ideas. This is pure unfiltered art.

        And it’s got a killer soundtrack by Circus Devils.”

            Nah it's going to be very limited in release, I don't know how it relates to your post other than being an experimental film.

            But I would love to see your work, the great cat is quite the pur-r-r-rveyor of art.

    Do you feel you have achieved the professionalism you desire in your films? I have put off selling my artwork for many years because, while I do find them beautiful, I just was not ready to defend their meaning.

    Can you explain the concept of your films against the attacks of intellectuals? Have you thoroughly researched the themes presented in your work? Have you considered your portrayal of women? When you feel you can answer all or most of the relevant questions of others regarding your films, you should definitely go for it, lest you be denying the world of great art (I'm assuming it's great).

      I feel confident about my work. I put up the "plot" on my profile and a link to some of my videos. Note that I these aren't the full videos. The themes (perspective) is abstract so to speak. It has nothing to do with how the genders are viewed. In a sense, there aren't any characters while on the other hand, I am a "main character" but not the in the traditional sense.

    Can't you upload them anonymously somehow?

      I could but most of my other profiles are linked up to my youtube. The only photos I have of myself online are indirect and abstract so, in a sense, I am somewhat anonymous. Another approach I have thought to take is to chose a youtube license that has "non-conmercial" in it. I think that should at least prevent the media from using my videos. If they ask to use them or for an interview, I won't let them:)

        Oh, I have an idea: What if you uploaded your videos on another (gasp!) website besides Youtube?

        :P

        You have great artistic ability though, I can tell. If you do upload your videos, I think they would probably do well :)

          Thank you:)

          I like the way you think! I might try Dailymotion. It's a large video hosting service but not as large as youtube:3
