Final results of 48HourFilmFestB’more!

July 25, 2008

The judges have spoken, and our noble effort garnered us (The Knights of the B) the prize “Best Use of Character”. Sadly, they are not referring to our personal virtue, but to the use of the specific character, Scarlett Johnston. The top honors go to a film I’ve yet to see, called “Of Mares and Men“.

Cheers!

The Queen’s English in all its many flavors

July 25, 2008

I just stumbled upon an interesting site. If you are of a particular bent, this is the sort of place where you might lose many valuable work hours. It is the International Dialects of English Archive. It might be helpful to listen to this when trying to get a handle a new character! Also, nerds just like absorbing catalogs of stuff.

Enjoy: http://web.ku.edu/idea/

By the way…I make no claim that this is the best or a unique resource, so share if you’ve got something cooler!

Fighting for the Whistleblowers

July 7, 2008

I’m doing some work this summer for an excellent group called The Government Accountability Project (GAP). They are the people that help men and women of conscience blow the whistle on unethical corporate or governmental practices….which is something that requires courage.

They are producing a television show to air later this summer, and I’ve produced a short ad for them. It was partially shot by me, and was put together in After Effects and Soundtrack Pro. Enjoy!
