Tonight on Jake's Showcase http://youtube.com/JakesShowcase I have just released "What Christmas is Really About Partner!" http://youtu.be/H5_K5U3kfHQ currently at 0 Views 2 Likes 0 Dislikes. It was done single shot with natural lighting.
Well again I popped over 100 views on my last video easily within a day and out again with more material. I think there can be no doubt I have some semblance of a following now. One day more then a hundred people looking at my video within 24 hours not bad. And that's of course just only the start as the viewership numbers per video can simply rise and rise.
The basic idea is that by giving fans a nice steady stream of content the ones that really grab the imagination or that are really out there or really bang on will rise in time. At some point one of these may simply go viral....really any one. But it's the material feed that is key for continued increased viewership. That's like 5 videos out this week, that's a lot.
Now this video there's something about it I really like. Yes it was raw, yes it was on one take but yes I think there's magic in here. The cowboy hat and rant style is a classic winner and the theme of Christmas is bang on timely. I don't know how it'll do but there is something about the rough, rawness, the preaching cowboy that rings oh so true. The message is both funny and true and I think it's a good fit.
I remember reading James Dean would really piss off producers because he refused to do the same scene twice. Here it's in that vein. You can't duplicate rawness, you can't duplicate magic and think the actions, gestures, words and message are clearly disseminated in a highly entertaining way.
Hey that's what us entertainers do best.....magic, we make magic. And you cant' make magic hung over.
Have A Wonderful Day or Night Fans,
