Just in time for the Holidays, I went ahead and got myself an early present. Spent the last couple of weeks not only redesigning my logo (Featured above in my 2009 Holiday Card) and ID, but also building this fancy new site. Hope you have a chance to stay a while and have a look around. Also, wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays. Hope you all have a magical December, a Holiday filled with friends, family and cheer and of course a happy New Year.
Well the results are in from the Amazon Ad Contest, and my entry “Wish List” came in 2nd place overall. First place went to Angela Kohler and her ad “Kindlicious.” After the initial disappointment of not being named a winner, I’m definitely truly excited that we were named as a finalist and that we just missed the top spot. I’ve added the spot to the video section of the site, so if you haven’t seen it, you can head over and check it out. You can also shoot over to Amazon’s site to check out all the finalist videos.
Amazon.com announced today that my commercial is one of five finalists of the Your Amazon Ad Contest, Amazon’s first national competition in search of a television commercial idea from its customers. My submission, “WISH LIST,” along with all five finalists’ videos are available for customers to view and rate until September 6 at www.amazon.com/yaac.
For the first time in a while I found myself back in director’s chair yesterday and it felt great. (I posted a few snapshots I took up on Flickr) I got wind of a contest that Amazon was having about a week and half ago and thought it would be a great opportunity to shoot another spec for my director’s reel. Last Monday I came up w/ a slick concept and pitched it to the gang over at Get-Kinetic, who I’d been in talks with about collaborating on another spec idea. They loved the concept and off we went.
