Hey guys,

There's a new player in town that is much different than YouTube and other video sharing sites, it's called openfilm.com (http://www.openfilm.com/indietalk). If you're tired of sharing your films on sites that highlight pranks and freak accidents, check them out. They actually have to approve your video, so the site is not filled with crap. This site is for real indies, shorts, and animation, and they can broadcast in HD quality with their special flash-conversion technology. It's free, and they will even share ad revenue with you 50/50. I checked them out after they purchased some advertising. You can click on the big banner at the top, or click here (http://www.openfilm.com/indietalk) to check them out yourself.

Uploaded my trailer this morning. They seem pretty cool. It's still pending approval.

Cool. Is it approved?

I'll be posting Road Kill there either tonight or tomorrow sometime.. just have to re-export it with an adjusted audio track

Hehe, Road Kill. I saw a bumper sticker today on the back of a beat-up truck that said "I eat my road kill.". There's definitely a story in that. Use it for your sequel. :)

Hmm.. that's very sweeny todd/fried green tomatoes.. but if there's ever a sequel I suppose that could work. I highly doubt we'd ever do one though. Bigger and better fish to fry, as it were.

Approved.

The site is great, they encoded it to a better quality and now it the trailer looks great online. They evenextract photos from the clip for you for your channel.

Check it out.

That dude Paul is sick! I loved it, and then you put in the girl on girl action, that was just icing on the cake.

Good job John.

Hey! Thanks for the new feedback on an old project. That actor is actually Jamal, though. He and Paul appeared together in another movie "Something Up There" -- which we also just submitted to Open Film...pending approval. Keep an eye out for it there if you want to see it in high quality!

Approved.

Intriguing. Looks great. Bye, bye, YouTube. Hello Openfilm!

The quality looks great on both.

Hello, John. In Finger, Jamal's Instant Messenger name (and character name) was "Paul Allen IV." I suspect that's the "Paul" that was referenced in the other post.

Yes Yes. I'm sorry I didn't clarify. I meant Paul the character, not the actor.

:)

Thank you Charles for setting me straight. I get it now. :)

Does anyone know if it can be used on MySpace like YouTube?

-- spinner :cool:

EDIT: I love the look of this site, as soon as I finish my latest doc, I may just put everything on there....

Yes. I have mine on my myspace page now.

I sent them my docs, and they didn't approve one of them. They said that I used copyrighted material, which is not true, as anything that wasn't mine was public domain. I emailed them that, but they haven't responded.

Chris

bookmarked for future reference, thanks

Update: They responded and took my word for the copyright issues related to the photos I used, but questioned the music. I responded, but no word back yet. Since I know also that my music is not copyrighted, I sent C*R*A*P, Tempist FIdget, and The Fig Garden's trailer.

We'll see what happens.

Chris

It will be interesting to see how popular this site gets. I uploaded my film "We'll Inspect Your House" a little over a week ago and the quality looks great. I would recommend it to all filmmakers.
