To all of the boys out there, who'll be watching the Fall Formal on their computers! <3

***The audio DOES work on this .avi file.***

This is the conclusion to my two part "Thank You" series. I think this video pretty much speaks for itself, but I did want to note that I included an intro which showed one of my first RECords: "Sundance Invitation REmixed."

I included that because I found it interesting my original Sundance Invitation included several Robert Redford references, and I would end end having my "Robert Redford Hits (REC)ord" video screened at Sundance.

The world works in interesting ways sometimes, eh?

Thanks again to all the artists that were resourced for that video. I included you all at the end.

sorry this has taken me sooo long to get up here. :)

(i'm such a dork.)

I wanted to make something like "what is hitRECord - in 30 seconds" but I kept adding stuff so it didn't work. I think it's a bit too long :P

Well, it was our very first time doing it, and it did take us a while, but we've finally sent out 147 checks adding up to $10,000 to all the contributing hitRECorders who collaborated on the short films we screened at Sundance 2010. Congratulations to all, and most of all thanks! And it's not gonna take us nearly this long to get the SxSW checks out...
:o)

INCEPTION is coming out soon, and in conjunction with its release, they're making a documentary on dreams. I suggested that hitRECord contribute to the project. See the collaboration page here http://www.hitrecord.org/records/78958 -- This is gonna be fucking awesome.

The documentarian directing it is a guy named Roko Belic. He and I recently sat down to discuss how we can best throw our flavor into the mix.

Largely, it seems he's looking for dreamy visuals for cutaways. He mentioned five archetypal dreams and asked us to create visual/graphic/animated/cinematic interpretations.

1. Inappropriate Dress
2. Teeth Falling Out
3. Flying
4. Being Chased
5. Falling

If you want to shoot a whole short film out of any of these dreams, that's great. But it's also great to contribute your brick in the larger wall. Draw a picture, take a photo, animate a moment.

Also, Roko hasn't chosen any music yet, so the more dreamy sounding stuff we can throw his way, the more likely our tunes can make up this doc's score.

Also also, even if you don't make any videos, images or music, you can still really help by browsing through the RECords we've already got on our site and finding stuff you think might work for this project. Find dreamy, surreal, beautiful visuals -- still images are good, but video is even better. Find dreamy music or soundscapes. Compile an Album of the RECords you find, and contribute that album to the Collaboration.

I'm so grateful and happy to be a part of Inception -- I think you guys are really gonna love the movie. And I can't wait to see what we all make together.

Sleep to dream...
