National Geographic's "Wild to Inspire" competition ignores its own contest rules

Just a note to other filmmakers about National Geographic... National Geographic published an extension to their "Wild to Inspire 2" video competition. The rules, as published on their site and clarified on vimeo.com, stated that entries needed to be posted by Feb 9 at 12pm. This was clearly written on the vimeo site where entries were added. My own entry was posted at 11:40 am on February 9th. Two of the finalists chosen not only were entered well after 12:00pm on February 9th anywhere in the continental US - and in fact, would have been posted on Feb 10. Its nice to see that National Geographic, a supposedly highbrow operation that caters to the elite of environmental media, has revealed itself to be little more than a joke when it comes to running a respectable and rule-based competition. Visiting their vimeo page now shows that all of those rules about entry times have since been eliminated... obviously so that they could select two of the late entries. Way to go Nat Geo.

Burn - a new music video from director John Eccher

Dimestore Studio Productions is putting the finishing touches on a music video for director John Eccher. The alchemy of dramatic black and white imagery, mixed with creative editorial provided by DSP, creates an evocative storybook of places both near and distant to accompany the compelling lyrics and bluesy rock. Watch out for BURN, from artist Drew Dicamillo, coming soon...
