Dorito's Contest

After Mike's cunning idea; we at Effed Productions have confirmed that we are going to enter the Dorito's Contest to have a shot to win $25,000

First off, to clear things out, yes it was Mike's idea for us to make a Dorito's commercial, but it was Richard who entered us into the contest, so they both get the credit, while I (Shaun) am still trying to think of a name for a new Dorito's flavour that will grab attention to potential buyers.

Now, all we have to do, is buy one of Dorito's mystery bags with the ? on it, and decide what kind of flavour will bring the audience's attention, and if our commercial is well done. We then post it on www.doritosguru.com and wait for viewers to check out what we have in store for them!

Let's just hope that Moncton's own Effed Productions comes home with an extra $25,000 in their bank accounts!

Love,
Shaun

RFN-Running from Narnians

On February 21 Narnia adventure two was released on youtube and so far it has received some positive feedback. If you were paying close attention to this new video you might have noticed a few things about it. For example, I am totally rocking 'teh chez', there was a Nazi cyborg, and also that it was probably the most effed video we have made to date. Apart from these things, some of which I might touch on later, you may also have noticed a significant amount of visual editing and film stylization through color correction. If that sentence was to confusing, you may have noticed that while editing I made everything look like as if the person who films CSI was doing it.

Don't agree? Ok, so maybe this was my first time and there were a few shots that didn't turn out so good...I'm not saying it was perfect. Anyway, the reason I'm pointing this out is because the films being made this summer will very likely rely heavily on this type of visual editing for full emotional impact. Hint, hint...

Ok, so how about that Nazi thing?

Well, first of all, the idea of a Nazi Robot was inspired by the a video called "Running from Nazis" and was originally meant as a kind of "Homage" to the work. Appearing as a kind of cameo guest is Keith Alward, who plays the human Nazi that comically runs away toward the ending. Keith was a key person in the production of the original Running From Nazis videos, so we felt that if we were going to write a Nazi Robot into out script it was only appropriate that we add Kieth as a support character. 

If you haven't yet seen Narnia Adventure 2 you can watch it here.

Also if you would like to see the GoblinSuit Production "Running From Nazis" here it is.

As you can see, it was well worth the effort to have a Nazi Robot appear in our video. You can expect our next release sometime after March break.

IWK Donation

While walking around the Champlain Mall this weekend Shaun, Mike and Myself stumbled upon the IWK Donation Booth set up by C103.1 (Moncton's Classic Rock) Radio Station. Mike was the first to be pulled in by the opportunity to help small unfortunate children to better their lives and Shaun and I were pulled in to donate as well. In total, between the three of us we donated an impressive $58.00! The donation acceptors were very pleased by our cumulative donation and seemed almost overjoyed by our generous contribution. 

It was at this moment of inspiration that I decided that helping to support charitable causes such as this should become an annual goal for the Effed Team. I hope that next year we will be able to finds ways to double our contribution to the community. 

As a non-profit organization Effed Productions has already generated a small amount of income that was put towards lighting equipment. Hopefully, as we become more talented in our film making, we will be able to raise more money.
