The Arizona Daily Wildcat profiled Jonny and I for a grads trying to make it in Hollywood story.

Read the article.

There were four grand prize winners (best video, best song, best live performance, and most creative) in addition to ten more honorable mentions.

Since our video was pretty good and there were only 2264 entries, I’m going to just assume that we got 15th place.

If you lost be sure to blame Youtube and talk shit about the winners on the contest’s comments page.

The Youtube Underground Contest isn’t allowing people to see how many votes their video’s have received. I’m sure Gravity has far outpaced the competion and we’ve already locked up the contest but who knows. Go vote if you haven’t already done so.

Winning contests seem to be an important step in a filmmaker’s career. Not only do they give you credibility but they also generate a lot of press. Here are two more contests we are planning on submitting Gravity to:

Indie 103.1 is LA’s indiest music station. If your band is based in Southern California, submit for a chance to win to win a free Hi-Def shoot of your band’s performance at Rehearsals.com plus get your video plastered on their website and put on a complication DVD.

Music Nation is a new website that’s going to launch in the next few months. From what I understand, it’s sort of a web portal for new music (maybe like more targeted and professional Myspace Music?). Submit your video and the very best submissions from each genre will compete for the big reward: a professional recording contract with Epic Records, home of Modest Mouse, Fiona Apple, Shakira, Jill Scott and others.

Glitterfish is proud to present the music video for She’s Your Sister’s single, Gravity, off their debut album, In Between.

Gravity marks both mine and Jonathan’s first project since moving out to Los Angeles five months ago. We had no money and basic equipment but we still managed to make a cool video for an awesome band using over a thousand still photographs. Expect a high quality quicktime version after the Youtube Underground contest is over.

If you like the band, make sure you check out the She’s Your Sister’s official site.

Have you ever had one of those “as long as there are tests there will always be school prayer” moments?

We wrapped the Gravity video. Jonny and I are both stoked with how it turned out. For reasons I can’t get into here there was some tense moments right at the home stretch but things are looking positive now. We have a few loose ends to tie up before the release but check back Wednesday. later.

P.S. She’s Your Sister just recorded their second full length album. No official release date but probably sometime early next year.

Youtube is having a contest for unsigned bands to submit their music video.

YouTube is on a quest to find the most talented and entertaining U.S. based unsigned musicians and bands out there.

Submit videos that best represent your group’s musical, lyrical and video-making skills. The YouTube community will vote and decide just who rules the YouTube Underground!

We will be submitting the She’s Your Sister video so please don’t enter the contest.

From the rock band She’s Your Sister’s website:

In the winter of 2004, three musicians responded to a classified ad in the Chicago Reader. Thay all met, decided that they didn’t hate each other, and formed a little band. Six months later they found themselves on a California tour, and eighteen months later, they moved to California, abandoning Chicago and its nu metal for warmer climates.

Its a rare thing to get excited about a local band just because you saw one of their concerts. I promise, go to one of their shows and watch Joel scream his guts out, you won’t be dissapointed.

In October their cutting a new album with producer Rae DiLeo whose credits include Filter and Veruca Salt. In the same month their shooting a music video directed by my friend Jonny Pully and produced by myself. How do you make a video with no money, no equipment, and a crew of two? Brainstorm…
