Hmmm, mustard.

So I didn’t make the top 15 in the Heinz Top This TV Challenge so I’ve sworn off ketchup and I’m sticking to mustard. Ok, well not really, I’m not that big a sore loser. Congrats to those who made it.

It’s been a busy month and some projects are underway, but with some other video obligations they may be a little slow in making it out to the web. Hopefully not too slow, I have a new project coming that I really want to debut very soon.

Stay tuned…

I posted this before but I thought I should give just a little more info:

My commercials are entered in the Heinz Top This TV Challange on YouTube.

Big Tomato is entry number 2987.

Sounds of Summer is entry number 3275.

Currently there are 3989 entries and while submissions are closed, there are people who have yet to have their videos approved. I’m curious if these people didn’t fill out the forms correctly (it was a bit of an odd process having to submit registration on both the contest site and in YouTube) or if Heinz was so overwhelmed they just cut people out. Either way there are some ticked off people on YouTube. I’m just happy to have gotten my stuff in. August 27 is the big reveal, so check the contest page then to see if I made the top 15 and then the contest turns to public voting with the results revealed September 28. Wish me luck.

Stay tuned…

“Dear Aspiring Commercial Director.

Thank you for participating in the Heinz Top This TV Challenge.”

I just got the second one of these little messages from Heinz and YouTube. So, I’m in. Both commercials have been accepted and now there’s nothing left to do but sit back and wait. Actually, there’s plenty to do, but nothing to do with this.

I’ve run myself ragged with a project for work (that thing that keeps me busy for 8 hours a day but also manages to pay the bills), so the next few projects have been slow going. Finally I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I’ll have the time and energy to move on to other things.

Stay tuned…

It’s been a busy few weeks and it sure won’t let up. Projects are in progress, but it’s great to be able to say that my entries are in for the Heinz Top This! TV Challenge. It’s great to have those done. I can’t take all the credit, it was a team “Stanosz” effort. Hopefully we’ll hear something good and one of the two ads will make the top 15. It’s a tough competition with well over 2000 entries already. Way more than the Spider-man contest which had maybe over 50. In any case, check out the commercials:

Heinz – Big Tomato

Heinz – Sounds of Summer

Stay tuned…
