Billy Deals With His Lemons - Director's Cut!
---Over 3 seconds more footage!!!!!!---

For this, I took away one title slide (about Copenhagen Summit being this December) because it ruined the flow of this version of the ad. For this, I concentrated more on putting out what we intended you to see. Nevertheless, I think it still works as an ad to lead you to the petition.

During editing of the first one, it was so hard to cut away a lot of the footage because the more we cut, the less funny it seemed (the original is around 2-3 minutes or something). You'll notice this version is still significantly less than that and that's because the original had a lot of unnecessary parts that we had refilmed to compress the time of the video such as adding a 2 second voice-over that effectively allowed the elimation of an entire 6 seconds. This version is has the stuff we had to cut out before, but doesn't waste time like the original did.

I hope you enjoy this version:

The Youtube/Cannes Young Lions Contest is closed.
I just wanted to update you on that and say that my ad did not win. I am dissapointed at that but delighted, at the same time, that it made it as a finalist. According to the e-mail, the shortlist of finalists had only 35 ads within it out of an approximate of total 700 entries toward this contest to begin with. I say that's pretty damn good, being in that 5%!! I e-mailed them to try and see exactly where I ranked within that shortlist so if I get that information, I'll let you know.

Thank you everyone who supported my ad. I really really appreciate it! Seriously, you're the best.
For you others who didn't, nuts to you! haha joking..

So I'll keep you posted on what rank I came in exactly if I obtain that information.
Otherwise, here are the winners of this contest:



And here is my entry again. Enjoy:

I hear one of them copies something called "Greentube". I didn't care to look it up but yeah, just putting that out there. Otherwise, congrats to the winners!

Please VOTE for my ad - rate it and comment and view it more too!

This was made for a contest where we had to make the ad in 48 hours. It urges us to go sign a petition that will convince politicians our world is worth saving. It urges them to sign an agreement that is probably our best change to curb climate change.

So here is yet another Youtube video I found that, as you may notice, isn't my photography and is not a happy-feely thing either, but I just really wanted to share it here so I copied and pasted this post from my other blog.
Enjoy =)

So the first thing you think about when you think about the show The Fresh Prince of Bel Air is Will Smith. You will also know that this show is a comedy and Will Smith is a funny guy too. Today, I stumbled upon a clip from the show that is one of my favourite moments in the show's history. It isn't anything funny. It's one of the saddest moments I have seen on television. Not many things in film and tv make me so emotional, but this was one of the few.

I can't say I can connect to this very much because I can't. The content just isn't true for me but I think I can relate to this because it's more than the relationship of father and son; it's about being let down, losing something dear to your heart and/or watching someone let out emotions that have been bottled up, exposed and utterly vulnerable. Then, it's watching him find comfort and resolve in a place that will always be there for him. I love this clip because of that.


Synopsis: Will has been living with his uncle Phil for quite a while. Uncle Phil is Will's father figure because his real father left him when he was young. In this episode, his father returns after 14 years to reconcile with Will. Will was planning to spend the summer with his father roaming the country in his dad's truck while he works, but plans change...
