“As Pomposh walked from the gathering, there immediately came a massive, heavyweight gravity storm. Internalizing the mammoth, black-hole-like magnitude manifesting from the storm, and wielding the mass of his intellect — matched only by his piety — caused a conscious edifice to materialize before the townspeople. Appearing over the entrance was the name of the structure. He then de-gravitized and faded like a whisper on the wind, into the ether.”
As seen through the eyes of the somewhat insane Captain Drake Mason, a stranger arrives in town. He is known as Pomposh, and after revealing certain things to the towns people, he sets off into a clearing and creates this enormous Church of sorts. It’s not a building in the conventional sense, but a living structure. Actually the word “church” is not exactly correct either. The album cover was going to be an illustration of the Church but after trying to convey my mental image of this to various illustrators, I felt it not such a good idea to go that route. It would give too much imagery to something that should remain within the realms of the listeners own imagination.
First, Pomposh needs to create an atmosphere that is conducive to the Building of the Church. He creates a gravity storm. A gravity storm is when the molecules in the air are substantially changed so that the Earth’s gravity could either increase or decrease in great degrees. It’s basically the same technology that is used behind the propulsion of various UFO’s.
A severe “heavyweight gravity storm” has the potential to flatten anything in it’s physical vicinity, including people, objects, and in the most intense cases even stones and boulders can be reduced to sand. On the other hand, the reverse is possible too. In a “lightweight gravity storm” physical objects can take on a fraction of their original weight. Think walking on the moon or in an anti gravity chamber.
Pomposh uses these atmospheres to summon various essentials from the ether and netherworlds to bring the Church into the physical. When I was imagining this scene the music for the song came to my mind.
The name of the Church is “Under It All.” This is where the towns people are enticed to enter and be subjected to the enchanting and engaging music of Pomposh, which in turn seduces them to see and speak of their inner selves things that they were not aware of.
Apskritai, senesniais laikais beveik visi kūrėjai pradėdavo su intencija tiesiog dalintis, be jokių monetizacijų. Tik vėliau už tai gavo atlygį. Dabar, deja, viskas korporatyvizuota (jei yra toks žodis), ir sunku pradėti be gero plano nuo pradžių.
Na, skaitoma medija visai kitą auditoriją turi, bet ir palyginti gerokai mažesnė. Tokia jau tinklaraštininkų dalia. Na bet galiausiai, svarbiausia, kad veikla patiktų ir duotų kažko gero bent keliems žmonėms. Ko daugiau ir reikia.
Nebent tai darai kaip saviraiškos būdą neturėdamas noro gauti jokios grąžos. Bet man blog'o formatas mielesnis, aš kai noriu rašau tekstus savo tinkluose ir viskas. Skaitoma medija man visuomet bus pirmiau žiūrimos medijos.
Nu gerai, labiau reiktų kalbėti apie tinklalaidžių kūrimo / žiūrėjimo santykį. Dabar kūrėjų kaip prikakota, o žiūrinčiųjų nors auga, bet kiek vienam kūrėjui tenka žiūrėtojų? Dėl to ta niša man atrodo visai neperspektyvi.
O YouTube tai nebūtinai įdėtas darbas yra lygu peržiūrų skaičiui. Bet irgi priklauso nuo turinio tipo. Bet mano nuomone, didžiausia YouTube populiarumo paslaptis yra skoningas ir subalansuotas turinio pateikimas. Jame svarbiausia, kad žiūrovas nenuobodžia
Tai kad kaip tik tinklalaidės dabar didžiausias dalykas. Nežinau kas jas keistų. Tik tiek, kad visi jas kuria ir konkurencija yra milžiniška. Sunku padaryti, kad būtum pastebėtas. Kita vertus, manau, kartais geriau turėti mažą, bet ištikimą auditoriją.
