A director goes to jail

I don't love all his movies, but I have to admit, the dude has done some good work.

The government's investigation of Anthony Pellicano yielded the first prison term for a major Hollywood figure Monday when a federal judge ordered director John McTiernan to spend four months behind bars for lying to the FBI about hiring the indicted private investigator.

First Deek Video up

This is the first video we made a viral. We've changed it a bit - taken out the logos and all and put it up on YouTube - go for it.

Posting some videos

I have a music video up on YouTube. It's one I did a couple of years ago for a group called The Deep Eynde. They're a goth rock (or I've seen them called horror punk - which is a new phrase as far as I'm concerned.) Anyway, I'm going to try to embed it here - haven't done that before.

Revver Link

The link to the first video up on Revver is:

Here.


Go watch.

Revver

I'm getting ready to upload our stuff to Revver. I'll probably do YouTube also and maybe one or two other of the video sharing sites. I like Revver because I think we'll be able to upload the stuff uncut - which really only matters for two of the spots - but you never know. Also, the possibility of making money with Revver is exciting too, though I doubt we'll get rich.

I'll put up a link when I have some things up.

Interesting Development

I've sent off the site Deek Viral to a few people and I've gotten back an interesting response. It's essentially a site to demo our work - every production company out there has one - but people seem to think of it as a YouTube kind of thing where people can post their own videos. My suspicion is that's because we don't have a front page -but present the video on the front page. I may change that. As you look at the sire - your eye is drawn toward the words, Sexy, Silly, Scandalous - and you see the videos. I don't think you see the masthead and I think the catch phrase - "between YouTube and The Tube" is confusing people.

Is there anybody out there

I wonder if anyone is still out there. It's been so dang long since I posted anything, I'm sure I've lost whatever I might have had.

It's been a busy year for me and I hope to make the rest of it busier and I hope to write about it here.

Back

Wow. It’s been a ridiculously long time since I posted here, but I’m back and ready to ROCK!!!

This year has been weird, weird, weird and freaking weird. It started out well, I was editing for HBO This Just In. and then suddenly that stopped (well, I wasn’t always available, so I can’t really blame them and then once you’re not in the chair it’s hard to get back) and then I was shooting and editing a bunch (you can see things here and then that all stopped and I’ve been twiddling my frigging thumbs. Well, not exactly. I’ve actually been working my ass off but of course it’s not been for money, but to start something new and that something is….

Deek Viral.

My partner, Steve Vernon and I have started this to do low cost, web ads that get some attention. Silly, Sexy, Scandalous – that’s our thing. Also – between YouTube and The Tube – meaning that we’re doing spots with some actual creativity as opposed to a great deal of the crap that appears on YouTube, but also spots that are a little too edgy for actual television. And yes, that’s got to be the 5th time I’ve used some version of the word “actual.” If you check it out be aware that there are two spots on the site with NUDITY and one spot with almost nudity (and let me tell you that the girl in that one is great in ANY kind of nudity or not nudity).
