blogging from a real live film shoot

I know I’m bia­sed, but methinks the Hallam Foe movie blog is going strength to strength. Kudos to Colin for “get­ting it” etc.
Nice to see a blog not totally crip­pled by the Holly­wood P.R. machine etc.
Now we just need to get the fric­kin’ design bud­get appro­ved. Grrrrrr…
Besi­des that, I’m loo­king for ideas to make their blog more potent ove­rall. Any­body?
[Sug­ges­tion #1: Stop trun­ca­ting the long entries. Blog­gers HATE that.]

   Movie making like any crea­tive pro­cess is a intense strug­gle. Sha­ring the strug­gle as it hap­pens will make crea­tive peo­ple con­nect with the pro­cess and the out­put. A per­cen­tage of the audience will be bet­ter equip­ped to pay more atten­sion — and it will bene­fit full com­mu­nity.

   Easier access to all of your con­tent, Hugh. It’s sort of tediously dis­pa­rate as it is. Other­wise I say keep it sim­ple.
   I also would actually like to see the names of the com­pa­nies with whom you are wor­king nea­rer the top of the blog; if I’m inte­res­ted in chec­king out more I want to know exactly where I can find their sites. This is along the lines of my first sug­ges­tion, though, I guess.

   Hugh I keep won­de­ring why you are so cer­tain that “blog­gers hate” trun­ca­ted entries. I per­so­nally pre­fer them in cases where the posts get too long (though I admit Colin is trun­ca­ting some posts that aren’t very long at all) because I like to be able to have an over­view of what’s there. I just won­der what your evi­dence is that it’s such an unpo­pu­lar prac­tice. I know an awful lot of very popu­lar, very heavily-trafficked blogs (espe­cially poli­ti­cal blogs) that rou­ti­nely trun­cate the lon­ger posts …
   Also — as I’ve men­tio­ned before, you can simply use a feed aggre­ga­tor to view the untrun­ca­ted posts anyway …

   Give me a cou­ple of days to follow it and I see what I can come up with.
