Envision's 2k Video - Long & Uncut

Well, I DID have to actually cut it, as I stinkin' rambled on for 18+ minutes with NO planning or preperation ... as such, it's still long at about 13 minutes, though only about 25mb.

THAT SAID, I HOPE I've got some helpful tidbits on how to establish relationships with some of the major studios, etc. at the end ... so for those who don't want to hear my mindless dribble for the first 10+ minutes, just skip to the end ... I wouldn't blame you.

Basically, this fullfills the requirement of what's suddenly become an unwritten law of people making a video of themselves at every thousand post mark. Since I missed the first mark, the length of this more than makes up for both ... in fact, it probably covers me for the next 20,000 posts.

It's not cute & clever, and is totally unscripted. So there are TONS of "um's" and "uh's", and me just pretty much lookin' like a sweaty frickin' idiot. And I'll warn you upfront, I missed a ton of shout outs ... wasn't even planned, just fell into few & went for it.

Without further ado .... www.eefilm.com/dvxuser/envision2k.wmv
 
That freakin rocked dude! loved it. Totally unscripted, from the heart advice from a bro! tooo cool, thannks man
 
That was actually really informative! I know it wasn't planned, but there was a lot to get out of that sucker! I think the lesson learned though is: If you want a shoutout on these vids, you need to post in Briceman's discussion thread :-p

Thanks for the valuable info!
 
Mino, I think you're too gracious, but thanks all the same. Your a good guy.

Thanks, dj ... actually you & Mino, and MANY others are shout out worthy, for sure. Next time, I'll try to plan it well in advance and will likely have 50-100 names to read off of people I interact with often around here.

Of course, if I really go as planned as I'd like to, it would nearly be a short film in itself with the FX, etc.
 
Say What you will my friend, I liked the darned thing, you came across as a person whos been in the gears of the machine more than some, and who was helping to lay a trail through the muck...I Liked it!
 
Oh, and there is a LOT of muck out there, Mino. I like to help ... I'm a giver, it's what I do. :cheesy:

Luis, glad you got a laugh out of it ... hope ol' Jack boy does as well.
 
Ha! That was great! You have a very dynamic onscreen presence and an announcer's voice to boot. You should replace Ryan Seacrest. :cheesy:

Your advice on how to approach studios with scripts was great. Thanks for sharing your experiences. :thumbsup:
 
Still watching it now... I like the way you broke down the way you've set up the relationships you have. Thanks for the insights. That's stuff we don't hear all the time.
:thumbsup:

EDITED TO ADD:
Just ended - I have to say, very inspiring Envision - nice job.
Thanks for taking the time to put that up.

What? No shout out? You can go to hell! (Just kiddin' bud. :beer:)

"This video sucks." BWAHAHAHA That was awesome.

Very cool to meet you (your a very pretty man.) What you had to say was very heartfelt, inspirational and true. And for that I whole heartedly thank you for that.

Also, after staring at the screen for so long, the colors started to blur together, and it looked like the you were a football player, with huge sholder pads. :grin:
 
Ok, first let me say thanks for the double shout out!! :thumbsup:

Second, don't ever make another comment about how long winded my e-mails are :grin:

Third, I have archived this video and ... Yes, it will come back to haunt you someday :evil:


Seriously though, good job. It's always great to put a name and a face together, especially as much as we've communicated. The information was great, very useful...but just so you know, I intend to give you my scripts and let you do all that legwork for me . . . hey, your experienced, why should I waste my time doing what you already figured out :)

Great vid!!

Peace,
Larry

P.S. Tell TC to stuff it...he doesn't deserve a shout out the way he always harrasses me about that stupid boat anchor. I never promised to make his computer work, just that I would put it together :grin:
 
Haha! sorry bout the whole kicing you in the nads thing....


Thanks for the shout though!


Wow that was awesome.

Im not even in to filmmaking, but thoes were valuable life lessons. it can be applied to any creative field.

LOL!!! That had me rollin' TC! I'm still laughing as I'm typing this out. You're right, I suck. TC SO could have worked in as a turret's outburst. I just wasn't thinking ... most people with turrets, don't really PLAN what they're going to burst out with ....

Oh, and if you wanted to be GUARANTEED to get a shout out, then you should have had your user name be any of the following:
#TC
--- TC ---
----TC----

Just a thought. I promise, on the next video, I'll plan it all out & you and MANY MANY more will get honest heart felt thank you's.


EDIT: Oh yes, and glad everyone's actually liking this ... though everyone seems to like ANY video a fellow DVXuser puts up. :) Part of me questions if I should have given my secrets out that I had to learn the hard way on getting in with the studios, since I'll have that much more competition in the coming months from it. BUT, you've still got to be a good, smooth sales person on the phone ... and let me tell you, I can sell snow to the eskimos. :) Or so I've been told ... not really sure if that's a compliment or a "car salesman" slam.
