Pubfilms.. working with Dynamic..

Just wanted to check in with you guys.. so, first off, you may have noticed that I'm up for the spokesperson for a website called Pubfilms - which is fairly interesting in that I wasn't even able to make the audition! LOL.. Back to that in a moment. Pubfilms is an interesting site. It was started by some local filmmakers who I worked with a while ago. Here's a video clip of some work I did for them (shameless plug.. but hey, this is my blog). Anyhow, pubfilms is a site that's trying to go to a business model in which the public funds movies. And, in doing so, the public votes on the different aspects of the movie. It's a fairly interesting concept. Basically, the users of the site vote on casting, scripts, music score, etc based on uploaded material. They've done a pretty good job securing funding so it'll be interesting to see the site once it leaves beta.

So, recently, they had an audition to be a spokesperson of their site. They recorded each audition and uploaded it to their site for voting. I actually missed the audition because I was shooting something else. But, a long time ago, I was helping the guys out in testing the site and in doing so, I uploaded an older copy of my demo reel. Well, the guys at pubfilms added my reel to the spokesperson competition without me knowing! As of this writing, I think I'm in 3rd place! So, if you would be so kind as to vote for me, I'd really appreciate it! You can vote for me at http://beta. pubfilms. com/submissions/view/15 .

In other news, I just participated in another 48 Hour Film Challenge. I worked with D+NA. Man, these guys are a ton of fun to work with.. oh, and I just saw the final cut of the film. they're friggin talented too. I've been a big fan of these guys work since I was first aware of them. The guys work hard and they FINISH what they start - an actor's dream! Anyhow, The final cut screens this Thurs, 5/8. I'll send the details out when I get them!

Finally, I've been playing with animated gifs. I thought it'd be cool to have different anitmated gif files as my profile picture on myspace. Check it out here:

This is a video clip from a short I did in another film challenge called Help Wanted. I'm thinking about creating a few animated gifs from some of my other projects and using it as my myspace profile pic. FYI, Help Wanted is among the best projects that I've ever worked on. For those of you who've missed it, you can check it out below... later gators..
