Well, Ian, with the all due respect, I doubt many could argue that he didn't have it coming. He's being extraordinarily defensive and it would seem he has his reasons, and, as is often the case, he's acting like a brat and a very sore winner.
Heh, oh -and if I happen to get a runner-up prize (and I'll be the first to say I wouldn't be surprised if I hear nothing) I'm not touching this thread with a ten foot pole.
I'd probably just post something on my youtube account and those who care to find out, will.
Congrats are given where congrats are due to those who deserve it. You know who you are.
And hey! Let me change the subject (so deftly) and share some of my music: http://unsigned.com/deanslistdropouts

If it is time for this thread to wither on the vine...that's cool. I would, however, like to follow up once the prizes start hitting doorsteps. We all need to keep in mind that Slusho has been incredibly incommunicado by design. They just don't contact you unless they have to. My feeling is that everyone who submitted a commercial will get an email asking for your address so they can mail out your runners up prizes. But we will see I suppose. Maybe someone can start a new thread dedicated to making that "thank you to Slusho" video once the prizes have arrived.

I know that I was not a regular, but I would like to be involved as well. Sorry if I caused a problem, I honestly was not trying to.
I want to let you all know that I thoroughly enjoyed your vids. Should we contact others on different boards, or were you intending to keep this "in house?"
Thanks!

I am open to anything. However you all want to go about this is fine with me. I did have an idea and would like to know what y'all think. Someone mentioned that it would be cool to put together one big video featuring all of us saying thanks to JJ Abrams and Slusho. I love this idea. Very cool! I have never been involved in something like that but I am game. So here's my idea...
What if we challenge ourselves, kind of like what went on for the contest. Set a few parameters. Not to restrict us, but to challenge our creativity again. It will also help keep us on message. We can all agree on the rules but I will throw out some ideas to get the ball rolling. How about...
1) You should thank JJ Abrams
2) You should thank Slusho
3) You should thank the others who entered the contest for all their hard work and creativity.
4) Introduce your actors and yourselves.
5) Uphold the Slusho myth. Pretend it is real. Let's confuse the hell out of the people who may see this.
6) Limit your video to one minute. Youtube has a ten minute limit so if we have more than ten groups interested we will have to cut down that time accordingly.
7) Be creative. What the hell. We did some cool stuff for the contest. Let's keep our creative juices flowing for this deal too.
As far as putting the final video together, whoever feels comfortable doing so should go for it. Any of you guys up for it? I don't want to step on any toes so I will differ to anyone here. But if you want, I would be happy to do it. I would just take your video file, drop it on a timeline in Final Cut Pro, and export the master file as a quicktime movie (.mov).
So what do you all think. Wanna do it?

This is the part of the idea I like the best, and best represents the spirit of the contest - besides being funny as hell.

Got it. Ok...so, they delivered the laptop today and it is very cool. I am dying to know who got runner up prizes. Please post a message here if you got one or when you do get it.
I will be shooting a follow up video to my Slusho commercial this weekend. My actors deserve to be seen some more so we will have some fun with this.
I hope y'all will like it and I certainly hope that those of you who shot a commercial dug the process and will be shooting more stuff. It doesn't take fancy gear and tons of money to make a good little movie. Just takes a little time and creativity. PLEASE keep shooting stuff!!!

New Video I just posted a video on youtube that you guys might be interested in. Winning a laptop was cool but I was not able to share the prize with my actors. So I put together a video as sort of a thank you for their great work.
I am sure they would appreciate any positive comments you all might want to post on the youtube video. The link is...

I am using the same actors in a new project so, if you are interested, check my youtube account from time to time as I will post excerpts of it their. It is called "The Dollman" and it will be major league creepy!
I miss the conversations we used to have here. It was a blast!
