Hot off the presses, here’s the sequal to the world famous Salesman vs Salesman video, Directed by Jonathan Hawkins,, assisted by Patrick Werner, and starring Alan, Barbara, John and Phil.
From Jonathan - The sequel to Salesman vs. Salesman filmed for a class at NC State using a German 16 millimeter Arriflex camera. The instructions were to create a two to three minute narrative film, and I had two 100 foot rolls of tungsten film to use (a little under 6 minutes worth of film). Artificial lighting was used, and I had a variety of professional lighting equipment at my disposal.

If you haven’t seen the first one yet, please do! This one is a sequel, meaning you should really see the first! You can find it here.

Pictures from behind the scenes can be found at flickr.

It’s too late for me to write much about it, but I’ve worked hard tonight to get a majority of the pictures up already! Check them out at my flickr photoset page for our Midwest Voyage trip to Holiday World and Beech Bend.

Also…. what do you think of using flickr instead of our current photo gallery? Flickr gives the pictures tons more exposure than just hosting them here. You can still comment, add to your favorites, view large sizes, all sorts of stuff. Comment here which you like better. More details from the trip will be posted soon!

While watching the Winter Olympics this year I caught, what sounds to be, a Whootah fan yelling out the phrase during the female snowboarding competition.  Check out the video and judge for yourself then hit the forums and vote!  I believe… I believe…

Saturday, February 18, 2006 we held our 2nd anniversary party for whootah.com. Attending was Alan, April, Andrew, Barbara, Emily, Jessica, John, Jonathan, Lisa, Mike, Nicole, Phil, Steve, and Sue! We stuffed our faces with pizza and snacks, viewed some pictures taken over the years, and began watching our videos.

We started watching the videos around 8:00 pm. Unfortanutely the very first video we sat down to watch did not have any sound. It was a brand new video produced by Alan for an introduction to the party. The sound will be fixed and the video will be uploaded to the site in the next few days. Then we proceeded to watch all our previous videos, with a few other random ones found on the internets thrown in to break up the monotany. When we were done, Jonathan also brought 4 videos, 1 of which was brand new, he started working on it at 2:00 am that same morning!! In all, 6 videos had their world premier at the party, not including the first one that didn’t work, since it’s still only been seen by Alan.
