Tunji Talks Blog

  Coming to a screen near you - sometime soon! ( Photo by   Huma Kabakci on   Unsplash ) If you having been reading my blog recently you will have noticed that I have been talking a lot making a new short film, and If you have been watching my YouTube channel in the last few weeks you will have noticed I posted my past two short films: Blind (a modern day retelling of Bonnie and Clyde set in South West London) and Luck Of The Draw ( a story about karma and how the universe has a funny way of working). I am proud to announce that I have started pre-production on my new short film. I have a cinematographer, I have a location, and I am actively casting for my leads.   This is all I can tell you for now, make sure you are subscribed to my this blog and my YouTube channel, because in the coming weeks and months I will take you through the process of how I wrote, casted, directed, produced and funded my short film.

  THE TYPES OF MEDIA I USE ( Photo by   Julius Drost on   Unsplash ) I was recently watching old episodes of Hot One’s on YouTube that I previously skipped over. (a show where people eating increasingly spicy chicken wings while being interviewed) I came across the the Gary Vee episode, for those of you who are not aware, Gary Vee is an entrepreneur, motivational speaker and digital marketing expert. If you have not seen this episode of Hot One’s, I would encourage you to do so, Gary divulges a lot of great information. One of the things I took away from the Interview was this: When releasing videos on YouTube, If you have a blog, release a short summary of your latest video on your blog, the blog post doesn't need to be long, four paragraphs is enough, and if people like what they read then they can then follow a link to watch your video, apart from giving a brief summary I like the idea of giving the reader behind the scenes information, as I feel this will give the readers a bet
