THE LOOK BACK: WEEK OF 2/27/2017 It’s important to create content that plays to the strengths of each platform. Whether it’s implementing interactive text captions or creating a custom thank you for your Instagram followers after reaching a goal, the approach to each platform should be unique. This week, let’s #LookBack at some platform-specific posts from Universal’s Sing, Bravo’s Top Chef, and Showtime’s Homeland. Animation, Text Layout: Jon Rice | Facebook Client: Universal, Illumination Client Ask: Promote clips from the film to excite fans for the release of Sing on Blu-ray and DVD. Visual Solution: Short film clips overlaid with interactive text captions. Playful text treatments […]

DON’T FREAK. SHORT FORM VIDEOS ON FACEBOOK AREN’T GOING ANYWHERE The news feed previously favored short content, because it used the average percent that viewers watch (percent completion) to rank videos. Percent completion will now be weighted depending on how long the video is, which means that longer videos will have an easier time gaining placement in the feed. Within a few weeks, short videos that are high on percent completion but low on other engagement factors won’t be getting the same organic reach they’re used to. Micro-videos, short clips under 10 seconds, have historically been favored by publishers, because they’ve performed well at a relatively low cost to produce. […]

Production Tips: Cheap lighting for the win Welcome to a new series that we’re hoping to hit you with every other week. We know that making videos is a tough process, and there is a huge spectrum of production value that you can land on as a creator – from studio level, high quality shoots, to down and dirty shoots with just you and your phone. These production tips are meant to provide advice and actionable tools for anyone and everyone on that spectrum. Our first topic: lighting. It doesn’t matter what type of content you’re creating – if your image is dark and full of noise, […]

Office Hours Recap – 2.15.17 Last week we tried to host the very first #OfficeHours of 2017 and to be honest, it didn’t go well! Our stream kept disconnecting and eventually we chatted for 30 minutes without anyone actually ever seeing it. It was a mess! However, with that crippling defeat still looming over us, we walked into yesterday’s stream with the courage of lions and we went live. We streamed our little hearts out. A lot of wonderful people tuned in to the first successful Fullscreen Office Hours of the year and we had some great topics to go over – so let’s recap: […]

ICYMI: Fullscreen Creator Network benefits We often hear questions from Fullscreen creators about the benefits we offer, and we’ve found that some of what’s available in the Creator Platform goes unnoticed. So as a refresher, here are just a few of the apps and partnerships that you all have access to. In fact, all of our creators have access to a minimum of $350 in monthly value. This is one of my personal favorites. If you’re like me and are active on various social platforms (you totally should be), managing them all can be a pain sometimes. Epoxy brings everything under one roof – posting, sharing, creating, […]

What is your social platform of choice? My social platform of choice is Instagram, but I really like all forms of attention. What is a fun fact about yourself? One time when I was feeling fancy, I put pesto in the Easy […]

Office Hours recap – a failed stream On Wednesday, February 8th, we attempted the first Office Hours of 2017. It was set to be a great one, with interesting topics on growth and informative news on YouTube’s latest addition of mobile streaming to the platform. We went live – then it disconnected. We went live again – then it disconnected again. We repeated this pattern two more times before finally launching a successful (or so we thought) stream, in which we discussed each topic in detail and had a blast doing it! Did we think it was odd that no one asked questions? Yes – we sure […]
