Work In Progress: "45:33"

Honeyberdy Productions apologizes for the lack of updates recently. Hopefully the first Berdycast filled you in on what's going on. Recently I have released a trailer for an upcoming project, entitled "45:33", which derives its name from the soundtrack, "45:33" by LCD Soundsystem. As I have listened to this song before, I have thought on numerous occasions what kinds of videos could be made to accompany the track. Recently, I made the decision to create a KOYAANISQATSI remake, with "45:33" as the centerpiece. So what is the video? Well, it will be both a combination of time-lapse footage and video footage filmed in the past year and much more to be filmed later this year. As of writing this post, only the first 10 minutes of the 45-minute film has been edited, and roughly at that. So much needs to get done before the summer release date. Speaking of which, how will it be released? YouTube limits most members to a maximum of 10 minutes, 59 seconds per video uploaded. This restriction will cause the inconvenience of having to split the video into parts, which can be tedious if one would care to watch the entire film. There are exceptions, however, as to whom the restriction applies. YouTube has introduced a "parter program" which allows original content providers that gain thousands of views to gain a few perks, one of which is the lifting of a time restriction. Another interesting feature of the program is that the "partner" receives ad revenue that Google has made off of their videos. Both of these would heavily support Honeyberdy Productions' effort at bigger and better films. But how to become a partner is a much more complicated process. In order to become a partner, Honeyberdy Productions would need at least a couple hundred subscribers and thousands of channel and video views. As of this post, we have 2,969 total video views and 872 channel views. This is most certainly not enough. We please urge you to tell all of your friends to SUBSCRIBE and check out the channel and all of our videos. It would be highly appreciated, and would be one more step to improving Honeyberdy Productions. Thank you for your support!
