So, I’m coming back into the entertainment industry. Pretty soon I realize I need an Internet presence. So I dabble in actors’ digital resources for visibility: Actors Access, Casting Network, One-on-One. But ultimately I decide I want my own website…that’ll give me the most flexibility to market myself. And it’ll be so easy to refer people to my website. (Easy. Keep that word in mind.) I can post highlights of my one-woman-show, and give casting directors and agents a chance to see my work while I create new material, or get cast in something.
Step 1:
Capture clips from the taping of my show.
It doesn’t take long before I’m stuck. While creating the clips I start to get messages and it won’t let me continue the work, “your start-up disk is full,”
What does that mean?
Google.
Okay. I need more space.
I stumble about and come upon my “activity monitor.” I only have like 5 GB. What’s taking up all the space? I investigate….the clips! But I need to work with these clips/imovies. What to do?
Google.
Get more Gigabytes. What is a Gigabyte?
Google.
Okay. Solid. Gigabyte is 1,024 Megabytes. Megabyte …is …oh, you Google it.
How do I get more GB? An external drive.
So my husband and I drive to Best Buy and really get our money’s worth – an external drive with 2 TETRABYTES! I now feel so powerful! I don’t know if it’s because I own 2T of storage or because I know what a terabyte is.
Either way, I’ve forgotten why I’m doing any of this.
