School is goin' on!

Well, it's been awhile since I even had a chance to think about updating the blog. School started with a bang and has not slowed down. I finally got through what I consider a "cycle" in the library and now I hope to get a routine going. I can't complain, things are going well as far as i'm concerned. My wife and I are getting ready to enter the new E-Learning/ Interwrite contest with a video. Last year we were finalists in a very tough competition. We hope to win this year! In the meantime, here is a link to my CHILLER network horror film.

New contest..oh and school is about to start

It will be tough to start the school year. Even though I really didn't vacation this year I have been able to produce a great many videos and I have learned a lot about production. this will serve me well this school year I am sure. We shot two weddings, a horror movie, a commercial, a song for Librareo, and an orientation video for my new school. We are in a Facebook contest at the moment. You had 30 seconds to talk about denim. That's right...denim. To see the results look at the link below. If you're on Facebook and would like to vote we'd appreciate that as well. Just sign on and add the Kohl's application. Look for Sue De'Nim..

My Chiller film entry is on the way. Here is a trailer from the movie.

New Video contest

This is a movie poster I created for a new video contest i'm entering. It's a real different contest for me because it requires a "horror" movie. Mine is more along the lines of light Sci-fi but it has been a great learning experience. The plot involves a man who has problems and then receives the power to get rid of them. Unfortunately the power doesn't change what he is inside.. I'll post a link as soon as it is done.

New video contest

For some reason I felt compelled to enter another video contest. I'm taking a different turn with this one. The contest is for the "Chiller" network which means it needs to be a horror movie. I have a script, I have a plan, I even have a cast but do I have time? we'll see. I don't know how I have the time to do this but it seems the more I do, the more time I have.

New project from Teachertube

Teachertube is rolling out a new product designed to be an interactive web page for teachers. It is in testing right now. It's an easy to use interface that has a lot of possibility. My wife and I did the help videos to get you started using the product. You can check out the videos at Teachertube Desktop.

We won!

Well, we ended up winning the Librareo contest sponsored by Gale. As a part of the prize my wife and I will be flying out to Anaheim this weekend to appear in their booth at the American Library Association convention. How cool is that? We had to juggle a few things but I think we are ready to go!
