Longshot part 2

Well, the longshot of going to the Great Barrier Reef for six months didn't pan out. I'm okay with that. I threw together the tape in one day and sent it off. No editing, just one take and done. Okay, 4 takes, but you get the idea. It would have been really cool to go and do that job, but I might never have come back.

I thought of looking at some of the 50 semi finalists, but I was kinda bummed out so I just clicked away from the site. I didn't want to know anything about the people who did get selected as one of the 50. Who were they? What did they do to get selected out of probably 20,000 or more videos? I could learn and then maybe do something like they did with the 60 second video. Would that get me selected next time? Are they going to do a similar contest next time? The contest garnered a huge response. It was great publicity.

Sometimes I just want to get away. Is that so bad? Get away from the hassle of living in LA, the traffic on the 405, the sagging work environment in all the areas that I work. And with the last play I did, get away from the rehearsal and the hassles of the set we had to deal with. Oy!

A 6 month dream job on a beach would have been Bliss... And that's what we are all told to look for. Our Bliss.
