FWLIG and FilmmakerOne update

work_life_balance_signAs I look back with embarrassment over the last two FilmmakerOne “coming soon” posts, I learn a new lesson about personal podcasting; “Don’t make scheduling promises.”

I won’t bore you with sob stories about how FWLIG (family, work and life in general) get in the way of producing episodes. I’m sure you have heard them all before, and experience your own limitation on how you allot what creative energy you have left after dealing with FWLIG.

There are some podcast I listen to that literally open every episode with one to five minutes of apologies for the lateness of that particular episode. When I started FilmmakerOne I vowed never to do this because I thought it was bad form. Upon further reflection I now understand it better. Podcasting is a passion. A true labor of love, usually a love of a particular niche genre of information. These producers feel guilt about their slipping schedules, and you can tell it really bugs them. I know that feeling and not a week goes by that I don’t feel the pangs regarding FilmmakerOne.

Anyway enough mea culpa, here is the status of the show. The main sections of episodes 11 and 12 are recorded. They are currently in post production and will be released soon. How soon? See paragraph one.

In the mean time, I will be posting some quick articles on some industry related projects that Bob and I have been up that should be of interest to our listeners. Watch for these. They will be coming up right after FWLIG.
