This is a picture contest I entered just because we had a picture that went with the theme. I was very suprised to find we were picked as one of the 20 finalists. We could win one of 8 trips to Hawaii. Hopefully we will be able to win and visit Laura and Garth once they move over.

So this entry is made up completely of other projects. the only new thing added is the 30 second narration. Can you tell which other videos I pulled footage from? I found this contest too late to shoot something original but I still wanted to enter. It turned out kind of interesting. Prize is $1000

So Much Craziness!

Greetings to all!!
Family and friends I have missed you.My family and I are finally starting to feel a bit settled from all the summer craziness of graduating, moving, weddings, and so much more. I wanted to thank all of those reading this post. I know I am pretty terrible of keeping you all up to date with the happenings of my little family, but through it all you all have supported us. Thank you!

The truth of the matter is, I have been really bad at letting people know what our families plans are because,It seems our plans keep changing day to day. I t never seems to fail that when Julie and I have decided on something for sure, a week or two will go by and something will happen that will completely nullify our original decision. We have learned not to announce our plans too much because they keep changing so often. It is pretty crazy.

For the moment though, we are living In Spokane in Julie's parents old home. I start work at Costco in 2 days and we hope to be buying a home of our own soon. The plan for the moment is to get a little more settled into Spokane, find me some work in a media related field and then eventually send Julie off to the Community College to get her A.A. She has a lot of school to do. She eventually wants to get a degree in herbal medicine.

Our kids are doing wonderful (besides  their routine being completely out of whack). Abraham, Miriam and Samuel love having a big yard to play in.It's nice having Family so close as well. We were not sure how long we were going to be in Spokane, but with all the family here, it would be really hard for us to leave again,

Thanks you all for being wonderful!! And even though we do not yet have our own house here, I am finally starting to feel like we are home!

I hope to do better at updates and keeping in touch with you all online. I have some way cool ideas for films, blogs, contests etc.. that i can't wait to share with you all. As i work on them I will keep you posted. In the way of current contests I have entered a few lately. I will Make a list of them in my next post.

Thanks again for being you!and taking the time to listen and support me. I truly appreciate it!!
Joshua

Daddio and little Abemo

Been taking it easy with the contests lately but the results of two of them today

1. Won the Warman fuzzy contest

Thanks to all who commented and left ratings. You guys are awesome!!

2. Results from the IFC energy contest, I didn't win anything with this one but was the runner up, which gets my video featured. kind of fun!! check it out: A LAMP'S STORY My video is the one on the bottom left. Tell me what you think.

Thanks all for checking out my videos. i have lots of plans for contests coming up so keep watching. Thanksgiving has sidetracked production a bit but i have some time off coming so Oh happie day.

Happie thanksgivng to all. be happy and have a wonderful week!!!!

A little Update

Waitng is the hardest part of these contests for me. I like it when I submit a video and quickly after I know if I have won or not. lately most of the contests i have enteed are extending their deadlines like this one for spyzooka:

I got it in on the last day of the contest, to find they extended it until Dec 15th, then voting then more waiting to find out. I am just really impatient (Julie will confrim that)!

But Waitng pays off. Yesterday i was announced as the #1 vote getter for the brown bailout contest!! it's kind of excitng because the video was my first real attempt at animation. I submitted it seconds before the submittion phase was over. it is not a finished work in my mind but i guess good enough for the prize.
In reality this contest was a bit unfair, and had nothing to do with skill but rather how much time you were willing to spend casting votes. You can check out my winning video here http://www.brownbailout.com/contest/vote-for-your-brown-bailout-video/?video=54

One more thing!! I have submitted an entry to the Global summit video contest. My vision for humanity. this is another one that i cut short the production to get the video submitted in time, just to find they extended the deadline. I tried some new things here. http://www.globalsummit.org/contest/
Please tell me what you think.
my video is about the foruth one down. Tilted a vision for The future of humanity by Josbo26.
Vote for it daily too!! I am hoping to win the audience award!!

I have another win to post but need to wait till it is offically announceed so check back soon.

No comments!!

I am still new at this blog thing. My comment links don't allow you to leave comments. it is kind of annoying. I'll figure it out!!!

So the other day i got my new green screen and a couple of lights. it's funny i am so excited to use it, yet i am having trouble figuting out what i want to make with it first. I'll let you see what i come up with soon

Oh and a quick contest update. I was nor notified bt the world biz opp about winning, so i guess that one did not one. i could have spent another day working on that animation, but dumb deadline i had to cut it short.
I shouldb be hearing about more of my contests soon and i am working on a few too!!!

I'm a Finalist!!!

Just found out that I am a finalist in the Brown Bailout video contest. Check out my groovy animation skills Give me a vote and tell me what you think.

$1000 is riding on this contest and i only need to be in the top 5 I know we can do it!! Make stick figure Josh Proud!!
