I...7Comments<br />Tom Pearson Author Profile Page said:<br /><br />In response to the dialogue about publishing dance clips on YouTube, I emailed our presenter in Hong Kong to verify that they did in fact find us through a YouTube search. Maria Wong has given me permission to share this snapshot of our conversation, and hopefully it will motivate some more folks to get their clips out there:<br /><br />Tom: I always assumed that you found our work on YouTube. Is that true? or did<br />you find our website first? Just curious how you first encountered our work because I've been trying to encourage other artists to get their video clips online.<br /><br />Maria: Yes, I did find out about your works on YouTube as I was researching for site-specific dance and needed some visual reference for sponsors. So yes, we saw the videos before we found your website and because of your extensive community projects experience, we thought it would be a great idea to collaborate!<br /><br />I think it's an excellent idea to upload artists' work on public forums; it's the best way to expose your work and communicate to people all over the world. Good tagging technique also helps a great deal, esp for people like me who do online research everyday looking for exciting artists to work with.<br />Added: November 8, 2007 1:51 PM | Permalink<br /><br />Tom Pearson Author Profile Page said:<br /><br />Thanks, Eva.

I have been enjoying your Blog as well, and yeah: Artists get your awesome videos up on YouTube. It is doubly beneficial. You might get a gig and YouTube will definitely get some worthwhile content!<br />Added: November 1, 2007 4:57 PM | Permalink<br /><br />Anna Brady Nuse said:<br /><br />Welcome to blogging Tom & Zach! I also love your new site, and was excited to see a sneak preview of "Bewing," Zach, Marissa, and Kat's new feature dance film! I'll have to do a big splash about it on Move the Frame soon! I'm also fascinated by the story of how you got picked up by the Hong Kong presenter after she saw your videos on Youtube. That's amazing, and a big inspiration for other dance companies to get their stuff out there for the whole world to see. Good luck in Hong Kong, I look forward to reading your posts. xoxo anna<br />Added: October 28, 2007 9:45 PM | Permalink<br /><br />R Margolis said:<br /><br />Good luck in Hong Kong.
