This year, I have been using social media a lot more to promote my work and show the world what I am doing. I was always posting my animations on youtube, but this year I have expanded to using twitter more to inform people of new videos I've put up.
I have also found that instagram can be a great way to promote my work and get a wider audience interested in it. I have been posting updates of my Applied Animation project on instagram throughout the making and animating stages, and the ability to hashtag animation, stop motion and puppets has meant that my work is reaching people specifically interested in those topics and as a result, more people interested in the industry have been liking my posts and following me on instagram. When my applied animation project is finished and on youtube, I will post links so that people will be able to watch it who have seen all the behind the scenes photos already.
Instagram is also great for finding other people doing similar work and wanting to do similar things with stop motion puppets which is giving me more ideas for how to improve what I am doing, and also creating a little bit of competition which will inspire me to work harder.
