That wasn't the same vid, but thanks for letting me know. I have found another source and fixed it now.

Hey Zifnab, http://www.videosift.com/video/Drew-Carey-Cooties-PSA is dead. But, I wasn't sure if this was the same vid or not, but if it is, then please update your embed code with this one.

ug. sometimes this shit can get so depressing. like when thinking you're supporting a candidate that will really make a difference (like RP or kucinich) and then seeing them uterrly detroyed by the MSM.

you started editing yet ?

any problems with AVID ?

In reply to this comment by blankfist:
This further confirms what we've already known. And, I fear that candidates like Kucinich and Paul won't get a fair shake at presidency because the election will be fraudulent. Here's a great book I read back in 2003/2004 called Buying the President 2004, which had a very informative section in the front about how the Bush/Gore election was or could have been rigged. It's a great book, because it shows all politicians for what they really are, but the indepth look at Florida's ties to the Bushies was staggering. Worth a retrospective read from me.

Makes me appreciate the dynamics of the VS banning system. Keeps our turf clean as Willie Nelsons beard.... Which isn't saying much. But it's nice to end the day relaxing in the 'fortress of Dickatude.' HAHAHA! BTW, I like your sense of humor, most all of your comments lately have had me busting a gut.

Freaking hilarious! That was worth a big EL-OH-EL!

In reply to this comment by gorgonheap:
Here's feedback: this video stinks and I think an admin should check the IP addresses for both. artistic420666, and lena24817. Seeing as how they both joined the same day. I think the obviously hasty made user names and seeming understanding of "beating the system" between them is enough for me to call a *ban to kick it off. But I would like to have an admin tell me that that they both logged on from the same computer.

I'm 99.9% sure this is a self-posting poser.

Oh my gosh, silly me! I forgot to say, CONGRATS ON YOUR GOLD STAR!!! HoooRAH!

blankfist! Thank you for the kind gesture, and I am sooo sorry that you wasted your save, but the thought is much appreciated. Let me know if you want any of your discards saved. I'd be obliged to help ya, siftin' comrade! My next save is earmarked for someone, but after that one let me know, k? The funny thing is, I posted it first, but I discarded it because some asshole downvoted it to ZERO the moment after I posted it. Needless to say, that made me want to discard it. I was a bit sad, because I really thought it soooo funny that I wished I had sifted it. I should have given it a chance and ignored that downvoting jerkoff. Oh well. The luck of the draw.

I used to have one of the pro/sumer HDV sonys with 3 CCD and all, but now I'm pretty happy with this little camera, shooting to HDD is great.

In reply to this comment by blankfist:
That's really great. I always wondered how the consumer HD products looked - and for 1k, that's pretty stunning. I have a Panasonic HVX200 which also shoots 1080i but with the DVCPROHD. I just finished up shooting a feature with it, and it did a pretty fantastic job. From shooting on film to HD, I have to say I prefer the flexibility of HD.

In reply to this comment by youdiejoe:
It's a Sony HDR-SR1, it shoots 1080i in the AVCHD format. Pretty cool camera, you can find it online for about 1k.

I take my son down there at least once a month, really great aquarium.

In reply to this comment by blankfist:
Your Vimeo vids are great. What did you shoot on? I like what you captured at the Aquarium in Long Beach. I used to work just up the street from that place.

I love a good laugh.. we just have different tastes in humour.
When are you gonna pop 50? hurry up!

nm.. I just gave you the push for your gold ticket.. Congrats!!!

Mike Gravel's childhood videos - just kidding, CP. I know you hate a good laugh.

Wasnt endorsing Globalization just wanted to know more. Thanks for all the information, it was very informative and more people should familiarize themseleves with the organizations you metioned

In reply to this comment by blankfist:
Well, the reason for the US Dollar losing it's value is a separate issue, altogether, and we don't need a North American Union to increase its value. That aside, this debate really comes down to whether you'd prefer to remain a sovereign nation or not. The borders between Canada, the US and Mexico will effectively disappear if there's a NAU, because the NAU goes much further than just currency and trade. The purpose of our Declaration of Independence was to claim our Union of States' independence. The NAU will render that document obsolete, and shortly thereafter the Constitution would be obsolete, because it cannot exist without our DoI. This isn't something to shrug at, because the changes won't come hard and fast, and most likely the general population would never notice their liberties and freedoms being taken away.

If you'd prefer the notion of a one world government (the true end to the globilization means), then you should be for the NAU, because that is step number two. Step number one was the EU, and next will be the Asian Union, then the African Union. Eventually, all of the "Unions" will probably become a one world union. And, if you still think all the nations that used to be sovereign would retain their "current governments" or "identities", as you put it, then I don't know what else I can say to you other than support globalization because, boy oh boy, does it sound nifty.

Take a little time to research the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the North American Free Trade Agreement, (NAFTA), and the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). While you're at it, research the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and see how many of the current candidates are part of the CFR. If, after all of that, you still don't see how globalization is a bad idea for our sovereign nation, then, well support globalization. Support a one world government. A one world police force. Oh, what a happier utopia this world will be.

I left you a nice comment (and of course a vote).

In reply to this comment by blankfist:
I thought of you when I posted this. LOL! http://www.videosift.com/video/Marines-Get-Stuck-in-Quicksand

Oh well, that's the way things work sometimes. It made it out so that's better than nothing

In reply to this comment by blankfist:
I can't believe the "scorsese/hitchcock" video didn't get more votes. Wow, only 19? Oh well, sometimes internet gold gets overlooked on the sift.

girl on the can. HA, funny stuff, it never gets old !

here was my version

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=4422002

the cutie on the can is about half way through. It involves a dead rabbit, a handicapped person in a wheel chair and toilet paper

so two lesbians are fighting over their child inbetween making out naked in a pool? I would watch that.

you got a script you could send along ?

what format did you shoot on ?

what are you editing on ?

are you editing or are you at a post facility ?

how much footage did you shoot ?

details ! send details !

glad to see other filmmakers on the sift!

In reply to this comment by blankfist:
Thanks, qruel. Yes, we're in post now. We haven't started editting yet, though. Um, the film is a drama. I'm terrible with pitches, but the best one I could come up with was Kramer v Kramer meets Wild Things, I suppose. Once we're done cutting it, we hope to get it out into festivals and all that. Right now, I'm just focusing on getting the film cut, and all that other marketing and festial stuff can wait for now.

In reply to this comment by qruel:
wow, very cool. a feature is a helluva lot of work.

are you in post now ? if so where at ?

tell me about the film (story and techinical info) and your hopes for it when done.



In reply to this comment by blankfist:
Haha, you are so right. I just shot a feature out here, and I swore never to shoot another one in LA. It's not friendly to indie filmmakers. I decided early on to go guerilla and shoot without permits, so we were constantly ducking cops. We only got kicked out of one area, which was by a Ranger up on a canyon trail overlooking the cityscape. So, we just packed everything up, made the hike down, and a week later we went back to get the rest of the shots.

Way too expensive out here to shoot. Next feature I do, I'm taking it back to North Carolina, which is where I'm from originally.

In reply to this comment by qruel:
Hey, thanks for the compliment. we shot the film here in the midwest (along with all the other films on that site).

i've got a few friends in La nd they talk about how expensive it is and all the permits they have to get before shooting and it makes me wonder how any indie projects get done there


In reply to this comment by blankfist:
Hey, that's really well done. I wasn't expecting the spiders at the end. And, I loved the nod to Audition with her wardrobe at the end. Where did you shoot that? Out here in LA, or are you somewhere else? Great job.

In reply to this comment by qruel:
I was posting to Farhad when i saw your comment about AUDTION. It was DEFINATELY creepy as hell. so here is a short movie I thought you might dig called THE EVIL INSIDE (forgive me if I already sent this to you). I edited this film and the director was a HUGE audition fan (you'll tell from the short) This is the 10 minute version (down from 30 minutes)

Farhad2000, I know you're a bit of the cinephile, and I've seen the video you posted of Audition in Bravo's 100 Most Scariest Movies. You may find this video I posted recently interesting: http://www.videosift.com/video/Clip-form-one-of-the-creepiest-horror-movies-ever-AUDITION
