Six Rules for Septuagenarian Filmmakers
  • Never use the term “septuagenarian”. Millennial and GenX marketers find polysyllabic words anathematic. (Whoops.)
  • Never fail to keep abreast of current technology. State-of-the-art camera gear is getting smaller (good), lighter (great) and less-expensive (thank goodness).
  • Never reminisce about events that took place before your clients’ 16th birthdays. Never remind ANYone that you worked with their parents or (gasp!) grandparents.
  • Never admit to being an “early-riser”. Those spectacular sunrise shots on your reel are really sunset scenes run in reverse.
  • Never call 12 hours “half a day”. Whippersnappers tend to value leisure time over old-fashioned work ethics.
  • Never forget that “you’re only as old as you feel” is a crock. Actions always speak louder than platitudes.

(Gary Jones Video with advice from local advertising experts Run Run Amuck and Tad Frugal.)
RRA: Tell me you did not just post to your Gary Jones Video Facebook page a video of a dog shaking its ass.
GWJ: I was shooting from the other end.
TF: Dogs are big in Arkansas. Haven't you ever heard of Arkansas Parks & Tourism's "Barkansas"  campaign? http://arkansas.com/barkansas/
RRA: Quit pulling my leg and listen to me.  Both of you. All the research dictates that you need to protect your brand as a purveyor of high-end commercial cinematography!  You can't be posting crap with wet dogs.
GWJ: But a very prominent producer--who for some reason wants to remain anonymous--was paying me to film the pets at Springfest.
RRA: That's just great.  People actually saw you out there?  No wonder the producer wants to remain anonymous.  They would be embarrassed to be associated with this!  
TF: Maybe you should have shot cats. Cats are big on YouTube.
GWJ:  I didn't see any cats. And do they shake water off like dogs?
RRA: Forget the home movies!  You're the only one in the state who has shot 65mm IMAM film, for pete's sake.  You need to get back to doing high-end stuff. Why pay big bucks for research and my consulting fee is you are going to ignore it?!?
GWJ: Wait. What "big bucks" research? I was just asking your advice...as a friend.
RRA: And I'm giving you my "friendly" rate.  You want to get back into the game or not?
TF: Hold it. How can you keep your rates cheap, cheap, cheap if you're shelling out for research and consultants?
