In an effort to introduce myself to the Black Science Fiction Society, I've decided to offer up a series of tutorials on a regular basis based on my experience and knowledge over the years. In many ways, i feel like I'm hoarding information and after an inspiring podcast by the BSFS last night (regarding Kollege Kids ) and speaking with the producers, everyone here moved me to really help out more.
I've been at this game for a long, long LONG time.The hope is, with these tutorials, I can help you save a lot of time and expense. I've spent years, myself, searching for tutorials over the internet and learned a lot from others and now, I bring that knowledge to you.
For us.
Some of the topics that I will go over:
Animation (3D and 2D)
eBook publishing
Traditional publishing
Photoshop
After Effects tricks
Adobe Audition
Audio engineering
Marketing
Project Management (how to get a project off the ground and execute it cleanly)
Story development
Screenplay writing
Social mining
Arduino development
HTML
Book Cover design
Short Film Production
3DS Max
Maya
That'S QUITE a list, I know. Each and everyone of those topics I've manged, used and found a reasonable amount of success in. All of it has been self-taught over the years in an effort to reduce the cost of getting someone to do it for me. It always ALWAYS started out the same way all the time:
Corey: Hey! I'm working on an animation project. How much for you to animated about a minute of stuff?
Animator: My rate is $45.00 an hour.
Corey: What?!? I can't afford $45.00 an hour!
Animator: Well, you'll never get anyone for anything less.
So the next thing you know, I'm speed learning Anime Studio Pro and other software until, years later, I'm my own studio.
My short list of accomplishments:
- Sold my first script 12 years ago for 40k. They still didn't produce it. LOL
- Published my first 2007, re-edited it for eBook in 2011 and for ONE DAY ONLY, I surpassed a James Paterson novel. Trust me, that day was quick. LOL
- Produced a couple of short films.
- On track to release my first web series
- Had a successful running audio drama/comedy "The Shyster Club"
- Had a successfully running talk show on Blogtalkradio "The indepthYou Show"
