This is the result of a days filming virals in what was a white wall studio. It's nothing special. I just like the colours.

We all loved the poster Tori made with Wirrow's art so we decided to print and post that one for the first screening! I made a few adjustments to say it's screening tonight (!) and to use our logo (I liked Tori's type treatment, but we want to make the branding consistent since we're doing 3 posters for 3 events). Which leads to the next point:

WE ARE STILL MAKING POSTERS!

We need to make two more specific posters for the shows at the end of the week (spring spectacular & midnight matinee) and we'd ideally like to make them a collaboration between people who are here at SXSW and everyone else....

We'd like to come up with a cool way to make the posters collaboratively here and document that process here in the streets, so if anyone has any ideas for a good concept to do that then release a text record here and share your ideas!

This is the version of Morgan M. Morganson's Date with Destiny that screened at Sundance 2010. Throughout the festival, this is the one we'd show as our example. Whenever anybody asked, "what is hitRECord?" this was my answer: "Here, watch this short film we're making; you'll never believe who did it and how!"

Albert proposed an off-kilter writing exercise, and then Metaphorest's beautifully strange short story inspired it all. I read the story aloud, Jenyffer.Maria started drawing the characters, Tori animated Jen's drawings, Lula and I did a live-action rendition, Lawrie Brewster took the project to soaring heights with his gorgeous visuals, and along the way there was the help, encouragement and roughly 180 contributions from throughout our community. We brought it to Sundance, and Nathan coaxed the lush and vast music out of the newly coined hitRECorchestra. (Good_Girl_Indie has written out a fabulously detailed timeline documenting what happened and when along this RECord's progression.)

Not only did we close our (two) official hitRECord screening(s) in the New Frontier Microcinema with this piece, but the next day, Sundance added it as a short film to play before the award-winning feature HOMEWRECKER on a much bigger screen.

I actually watched the thing again just now. And I can whole-heartedly say that, besides the progressive methodology with which it was made, and besides the warm reception it received at Sundance, just purely as a little piece of art, as a short film, as a RECord -- I'm as proud of Morgan M. Morgansen's Date with Destiny as I am of any work I've ever done.

Thank you, everyone, for making it all happen!
and thanks again...
