It’s not a film till it’s edited.
I’m a sucker.. for an advertising business model!
I just realized I’m a sucker for technically creating a spec commercial for B&H in hopes to win a new Canon 5D Mark II camera. Unfortunately I didn’t make it as a finalist, that would of been nice to win a new camera! I don’t want to sound like a poor sport but in losing I now see the bigger picture! The company just got 1000+ free video advertisements online, for the price of 3 giveaway prizes. I guess that’s the trade off when you’re apart of a contest like this. After listening to The Terence and Philip Podcast “Is There A Future For Editors” on ProVideoCoalition.com, it got me thinking how many video producers, and editors are losing out on commercial jobs because of these contests? It’s beneficial to those who win, those who get the views (like myself), and those who receive recognition because of these contest, but in the end it’s the company benefiting here. Now that I’ve whore’d myself off and given B&H some more advertising.. watch my video below!
I had fun making this in the 4 hours it took. I guess it was good practice! You can vote for the finalist who were chosen here. My vote for the top 3 finalist out of the 15 that were chosen go to the following:
I chose these 3 because they kept me entertained the entire time and I think they were done most creatively. I really enjoyed “The Magic Box”, I have to admit it was better than mine!

Film editing is now something almost everyone can do at a simple level and enjoy it, but to take it to a higher level requires the same dedication and persistence that any art form does.

We’re Monkeys In Space- a rock n’ roll foursome from San Diego, CA. For the last two and a half years we have pounded on the southern California rock scene, playing close to one hundred shows across the West coast. Fresh off off of our sophomore release, “Flying Under the Influence,” We are ready to hit the road, but but we need your help!
Monkeys In Space was founded in 2009 in a 10×10 room dubbed “the box.” Since those early jam sessions, the band has gained a strong so-cal following, earning spots on big name shows with Strung Out, Sprung Monkey, Shiny Toy Guns and more. Up until this point, all of the monkeys marketing & promotion, booking, recording and producing has been done DIY. By ourselves. Two and a half years in, Monkeys In Space is primed and ready to hit the road. That’s where you come in!
We head out March 1st, indefinitely. Over the last few months, the band has been living off of nothing and stashing cash – we saved up enough money for the purchase of a ’94 bus, tore out the seats, and have been in the process of transforming it into a home on wheels. The more money the band can raise, the longer we stay rocking!
Your generous donations will help us with our expenses out on the road. Every cent we raise will be put directly back into the “Flying Under the Influence” tour including gas, food, maybe an occasional hotel shower here and there, maintenance on the bus (hopefully not), and maybe to bail Josh out of jail…
Seriously though, we know times are tough and hate to have to ask for money, but here we are. If you can’t donate, we understand, but please take the time to check us out online – turn up your speakers as loud as they go, and rock out with us! For those who can spare a few bucks, check out our awesome incentives and thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. We are all Monkeys. We’ll see you soon!

MI$ is a band I’ve supported since they’ve formed, I’ve created some videos you may have seen to help spread their music. As their first backer on this project I ask at least give them the minimum pledge, they deserve it!
