PARALYZER Body Spray video shoot

A small quick project that was fun to play the elevator operator to a stunningly beautiful woman who essentially paralyzes me with her aroma. This was a pitch project/conceptually composed and shot on the low down.

Shot at Gladstone Hotel, it was a guerilla style shoot. Hope to see the final product sometime in the new year.

It was for personal use and will not be available commercially or braodcast, but if I get approval to share it one day, I shall, albeit that seems like a long shot for confidentialty reasons.

GAVISCON antacid Audition Dec 13th

It's a TV spot for upset tummies, i.e. heartburn, maybe even GERD (for those in the know, that's Gastro Esophageal Reflus Disease).

McMaster University Shoot complete

What a great production day this was!

Some terrifically talented people and a crew that was well organized and efficient, not to mention some extremely pleasant and creative clients.

A community service project that will assist a variety of people deal with family related troubles when dealing with children and spousal issues.

I was very happy to provide my input adn abilities to such a worthy cause.

Looking forward to reviewing a DVD of the final product, hopefully I can share it with you al soon.

Poker TOC Results....not so good

Dec 1st came and went without a significant occurance and clearly was disappointing.

While the tourney was well organized (and spacious for a change), the cards and play for me, just didn't click.

I busted out after 2.5 hours of play. Not good. The best Ahnad I saw all day was A8. hard to compete with that. And any time I felt I was good to make a move on a pot or steal the blinds, someone beat me to it, eitehr utstealing, or betting with a hand. I just could not muster the courage to make a play even as semi bluff.

I did make a move however, re-raising a bettor's 1,000 bet (which looked liek an over bet to steal the pot) only to have him come back over the top allin. I jusst could not call as I was only A8 having missed the flop.

I was crippled at that point and struggled for survival only to be taken out by the SB with his J6 to my A4 h and catching 2 hearts on the flop, to him catching 2 pair. I mad ethe flush only to see him bust me with a boat.

Dead man walkin!

Onto Season 10 it is........so busy in Decmeber will see me play very little and that won't bode well for a high season standing this time around. AM very enar to 50,000 career poitns so hopefully I can make the TOC for March 31.

Merry Xmas ALL(IN)!
