Best Halloween-Video Contest

ByNalts

frank.jpgRevver is hosting a contest for Halloween videos. I shot this one in August or September to help them promote it (Greedy Trick-or-Treaters). But I’ve already lost before judging has begin. So I’ll continue my long-running record of honorable mentions but no trophy.

Here’s what I’ll lose to I think: “Second Change: A Date Between Frankenstine and Bride of Frankenstine.” Well acted, written and directed- it’s good to lose to something this good. To see more from the creators see ID Monsters on Revver.

Here are the 70 plus entries to date. Want to enter? Just tag your video on Revver with Halloween2006. Here’s the Revver blog entry for more details.

What’s the Difference Between Google Video and YouTube?

ByNalts

Why would Google want to own two video sites? Oh, silly. They’re not two video sites. Their differences are becoming apparent: Google Video Objective: create a video site with no discernible character or features.

  1. Why won’t you win? My only guess is that the screams weren’t blood-curdly enuf. The prat fall at the end made it all worthwhile.
