Metal Robot Media

So as some of you may or may not know, I am in the process of making my own company that will encompass both my still photography and films. Originally this idea started off as kinda a joke, I quickly threw together an intro video for my movies, I slapped together a Facebook page, then promptly forgot about it. Since I am not the greatest artist out there I used a drawing from my girlfriend at the time, it was a really good drawing. At the time we were both happy about me using it, I got a sweet drawing for my intro video and she got her artwork out there and got a little more exposure. So a couple months after we broke up I get a message on Facebook:

"John. You have absolutely no rights to my work. Take it down, or I will take you to court. Take it down now."

Now I don't know about some of you reading this, but I do not particularly want to be take to court by my crazy EX, especially over something as sill and stupid as this. So I pulled the page, and all the videos with the intro. But not all was in vain! Her demand for me to pull it reminded me of this great-untapped potential that I had at one point just begun to set up.

 So I began to get excited, and I decided that I was going to give Metal Robot Productions a face ift. So I renamed it Metal Robot Media, I drew another drawing, I am in the process of making a new and improved intro video, and I am even making a honest to god website. I know some of you guys probably think its kinda stupid for an 18 year old to make a "company" for their photos and films, but I am hoping to actually turn it into a multi media company. One that I will actually use to raise funds for my projects, one that I can use to sell my stuff through. I also know you probably think I am stupid since just about everyone and their cat who goes to film school has a production company. But I am smart enough to know that I am not special, that I am not very different then all of the other ones, but the reason I think I will succeed and they wont is because I immediately have a product to promote, my photography. Because to be honest student films are crap. There is no way around it, they are just crap. But my photos are good enough to be put up in places like coffee houses and the like which will allow me to start building a base around which I can add my films as they get better. So hopefully it will turn out. And I know I haven't put up a photo blog recently, but I have been really busy and haven't been able to go out to any ghost towns recently, but I really really hope that I will start going again since I do it more for my own joy than I do for all of you. But I will be keeping you guys updated about how it is going.
