Booth on GoogleVideo - Updated

I wasn't entirely happy with the way Booth was looking, I recompressed it with a higher bitrate and larger dimensions so it would look much better. It will be up hopefully by the end of the day, though I can't figure out for the life of me how quickly they verify and make their videos live.

Google is a mystery but a gift at the same time.

Booth On Google Video

Now I know what you're thinking, some of you at least, why put the film (yes film, not video) in its entirety on the web. Wouldn't that take away profits.

You're right, what profits, its a short student film. If you've been following our progression as I've relaunched Arabian Productions/Palfrey Hill Pictures, you'll know I've been actively seeking online distribution of our works. Well, I did it, I put "Booth," live, on the web.

Now, I have no way of knowing who watches it, so I'd love to hear what people think here on this blog, but here is the link: Google Video

If you do enjoy it, I urge you to help a struggling company, you can purchase the DVD at Film Baby.com

Web Distribution - New Name

The biggest challenge of online film/video distribution through websites is this whole "bandwith" issue. Currently with GoDaddy.com, I'm allotted 25 gigs of bandwith monthly, which is a lot when you think about it, but when you start getting into the realm of video distribution, it becomes a bit difficult.

The project I'm working on that we shot two weeks ago is something I'm looking to distribute strictly through this website. It'd be nice if we had enough followers to host through bit torrent, but that won't happen any time soon.

Big announcement, I'm actually changing the name of my company! Drum roll please...Palfrey Hill Pictures. It's official, I've purchased the domain, though our servers will remain as arabianproductions.com, as well as our email addresses. The web artwork, and subsequently, the title of this blog will slowly begin to take form as the new title comes into effect.

I welcome you to Palfrey Hill Pictures.

End of Principal Photography

Principal Photography of this latest project was completed, in all we recorded about 50 minutes of footage, with around 65-75 shots completed. Real run and gun movie-making. We sat down at the end and watched out footage.

Stick around, there's more coming at you.
