What Will You Think Of Next?
I love that you guys are creating this crazy creative place on our site here. I mean, really, at this point, we here at Engine Room are proud participants of something you have created on your own. I can only imagine what the future holds and if this beautiful group photo is any indication, this is going to be a lot of fun (and hysterical.)
And of course there’s Demetrius’ film, starring us…I like the idea of us all running around in a twist and turn horror flick. Keep adding to the script…can you imagine the first film to be made from a group of digital artists that came together online?!?!
This whole experiment has become a huge, surprising choose your own adventure…it will continue to live on through your efforts and take shape as you want it! This blog, this site, will not go away after Wednesday, we have more plans for you guys and many more ideas for ways to get your creative juices flowing. This blog was just supposed to be a small start but because of your responses, we’re gaining more and more support and momentum to build more avenues to help you shine!!
Your participation here will determine where we go from here. A second season, an online community, tools for your trade, a space to celebrate and support your talents…all of that depends hugely on what you guys want and making yourselves heard. I say this only because I’ve seen “the suits” watching and flipping out over your comments, your level of participation and passion…it’s the power of the people, people!!
So, I’d love to hear from you guys what kind of things you would like to see from this site and how we can help you continue to pursue your passions and your dreams! What tools or forums or opportunities would you like to see available to digital artists?
Second, continue to keep our community alive and robust! Keep inspired and keep us inspired!!!
And finally, and most importantly, remember, this blog is as an important part of the Engine Room as the competition in NY. We will be shouting out our blogging stars, giving out prizes, showing off your work and here, we will build something bigger than any of us can do on our own.
AND FINALLY! Shout out to Rodrigo who posted the correct answer to our cryptic post. (What, can’t we have a little fun around here?!?!) Yes- it will be the Engine Room theme song.
From Rodrigo Bastos Didier (Posted on 7-11):
“The music on the intro video is YYZ by Rush… YYZ is morse code… if you listening the music you will see…
Look:

SuPak
P.S. Rodrigo - you were wrong about me being one of the “others.” 
I’ll have to figure out how to get Krispy Kremes across international waters….hmmmmm…
July 14th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
wow, that really was cryptic! so yeah… you can help me pursue my passions an dreams by hooking me up with a job! are mtv hiring? ha! but seriously, its pretty cool if people are taking note of all this. Power to the people
July 14th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
SuChin ~ Right on! So glad to hear this, I cant tell you. I’ve been thinking and wishing and hoping that MTV would adopt us wayward creatives and let us run loose in your playground. We’re building a nice little family here…..and the energy will only get better and bigger.
What was it they said in “Field of Dreams”?
“Build it…….and they will come.”
July 14th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Hey I just have a question if anyone can answer it, how do we know if we are one of the 16? do we get a phone call, an email what? Because it is KILLING ME!!!!!! KILLING me i tell you and im sure there are others out there wondering the same.
Soooo if anyone knows haha please let me know!!!
July 14th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Rodrigo ~ “All Hail thee!”
G ~ Stick around man, who knows what will happen……..
July 14th, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Josh ~ That be the question of the hour
July 14th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
I KNOW RIGHT!
July 14th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Wow, that pic is awesome!
July 14th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
hmmm… what happened to the name/site links?
July 14th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
vanished…
July 14th, 2008 at 3:42 pm
So SuPak, if you could answer that for us, that would be AMAZING!
July 14th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
I had a feeling that all of our chatting on here would lead to something. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next few months. I am proud to be a chatterbox now. lol
Welcome back Tony! Did you take some cool pics of Oregon?
July 14th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
If my words don’t make any sense today, then blame it on the Benadryl. I have been pumped up on Benadryl since yesterday. Darn sinus! lol
July 14th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Ok, so I could gush with whatever praise-of-the-moment I can come up with, but ultimately SuChin, you asked for suggestions…so here they come:
- It may be worth noting what people have been guessing the show will be, since we know nothing…it speaks to the climate of reality tv we’re in at the moment. Challenges, comparisons to The Apprentice, and people in general are wondering what will keep viewers coming back each week, since there is no one getting voted off…so there must be a cumulative point system right? Therefore implying an all-or-nothing battle possibility near the end? Will there be “immunity” of sorts each week, or someone removed from challenges?
- A community would be awesome for young/up-and-coming/any designer wanting some exposure, and MTV has the unique ability to put work into a very public medium. Create a reward system with your community and put stuff that rises to the top on MTV as station IDs or whatever. That is something few or no other communities have: the power for instant 15 minutes of fame.
- I think setting up some method of having the cast communicate with the “outside world” during and after the show would be cool and positive for any young or inexperienced designers who get inspired by the show and what to ask questions. Besides, you really don’t learn something until you teach someone else…
- Maybe part of the package for winning this season could be to come back next season as judges or something along those lines.
- Creating a playground of sorts would be cool. Let “the community” submit designs for new show logos or anything at all the MTV wants to “contract out”. MTV could easily act as a broker to bring big projects to little designers, therefore creating the possibility of someone unknown working on something famous.
But first and foremost I would give you the same advice I give myself every time I design something: don’t do it half-@$$. Be dedicated and creative with your offer to “the community at large” or stop promising…a half effort isn’t an effort at all.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Dee ~ Thank you
I know, every thread is a little step up, lol I’m here for the long term.
Yeah, got some cool shots of Seaside OR on the beach! We had a great time. I’ll post a few as soon as I can.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
bah, im gonna need to spam with my site address now just for good measure! ha! yeah, tony, you never know what can happen, i really want to worki in america for a while tho but i doubt itd be that easy to get a break. I was over visitng my friend im memphis about a month ago and i loved it.
*cough* http://www.garywhitton.co.uk *cough*
July 14th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Joel ~ I have to second the motion. Intelligence speaks, especially when theres creative passion on the line. Its not just the visuals and the banter, its an attitude that we can develop over time, be the spear point for a new direction for ourselves, the artistic community and mtv all at the same time. I see a world of color and fun every day I get up and if I can do that here? With all of you? Oh yes, that will be rewarded greatly.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
There really are a ton of cool things that could come from this!
I’d like to see art competitions, maybe more opportunities for artists to create work for MTV and get recognized. Posters, flyers, music videos, commercials… who knows.
Or… a more permanent digital gallery. Like Deviant Art, Art Wanted, CG Talk, etc… Somewhere for artists to network and get recognized by companies that work with MTV.
Maybe a creative internship program that isn’t just for academic credit and open to more schools and students. I think that would be pretty sweet.
Anywho… back to work. Hope everyone’s well!
July 14th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
G ~ You have some amazing work and I love your site design. Seriously, you’d do well over here.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Cool Tony, I can’t wait to see them. Looks like MTV has made it easier for us to see who is real or not real. lol
July 14th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Maybe a consistent way for MTV to bring in future creatives and a way for us to im part and teach? But with an entertaining edge to it as well. Make it exciting…… ahh, god my mind is going a million miles a minute now…
July 14th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
What should we do about the loft pic? Some people have added their pics to it, but they were on the wrong version of the pic.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Dee ~ Saw that….and I’m glad too.
July 14th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
G, I love you site!!!! im assuming you used Flash.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
Denesia - Benadryl sucks! Sorry you had to take it…..
And SuPak - nice post there. Lots of meat to it and it’s always good to hear that people are taking notice. From the get go I thought this was a great concept. Since I am more of the Audio type artist maybe it would be cool to have a similar type show but have the teams work on a remix.
4 production teams working on a Leonna Lewis remix or something like that.
That would be great exposure for a lot of guys who toil in obscurity into the wee hours of the morning!
Cheers!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Dee ~ I know. I saw that too. Who was it thats missing on the right side? Tati or Allison?
July 14th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
there was some one in the trash can too
July 14th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
_o| |o| |o_
=DDDDDDDD
Thank you SuChin ^^
Ok, I’m convinced, you are not one of the “others”. Could you give me some Krispy Kremes please! =]
Here in Brazilian Northeast doesn’t have! =(
YYZ is perfect to be the Engine Room theme.
Lets play it on Guitar Hero game before the D-Day!!
Tony ~ |o| yes!!! htank you!
Dan dandan dan dan du dan dan dan dan dudu dan du dan dan dan
July 14th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
thank you, its just sometimes getting a start as a graduate without experience isnt too easy. Ive put in applications to companies recently so hopefully i’ll be lucky with them.
I actually used a template for my site from flashvillage.com (the shame lol) so i cant take all the credit. Ive modified it from the original but i really didnt have time to build one from scratch, well… not a cool one anyway
July 14th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
oh wow!!!!!! I didn’t know that this chatting stuff would turn out like this. Man i’m so happy.
hey everyone!
You heard SuPak, lets keep adding to the movie, maybe we can add so much to the movie that mtv actually puts it in production for us and then everyone can be famous. Then we’ll have stories saying well…….this whole thing started out as a mtv contest and turned into something as big as a movie…
Who ever has any ideas about what happens to the next contestant # 15, please post it or maby we all can take a line like we did with the first story.
Come on lets hear those crazy ideas and “GET TWISTED!” REMEMBER…..”CREATE OR DIE!”
July 14th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Rodrigo ~ Video games and donuts……I’m there
G ~ Its all about what you do with what you have………..and its impressive.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
what movie? the link didnt work for me
July 14th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
SO WHAT HAPPENS IN SCENE TWO: LETS DO SOMETHING WHERE BOTH CONTESTANTS #15 AND 14 ARE IN A ROOM TOGETHER…………………….WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
July 14th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Tati, Drucifer, and Alyissnesss and I believe the guy in the trash can is missing. I think the guy is Ric.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
G thanks for the source, I love making flash sites, and this will help give me some ideas of what i can do! Even though you didnt make it yourself, it looks pretty sweet!

July 14th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Yeah, well i only really learned the animation side of flash in uni, never really knew about the web design side but i reckon you could teach yourself just about anything through google these days! ha!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
no problem, the original is called cube so you could see what ive changed. there some really cool templates on there. A lot of them you could modify to make it look completely different

Anybody looking for (in my opinion) the best flash inspiration on the internet, check out http://www.thefwa.com.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Yes actually google and youtube booth are amazing got tutorials! and making a website is really simple, easier that dreamweaver and other forms or code.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Demetrius ~ Got an error message on that.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
I am hoping they’ll give us a chat room in the future. We can still have the blog too. If people want to talk to other people in real-time, then I think that would be great.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
A chat room would be the greatest because I’m wearing out my refresh button!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Hey Everyone (including MTV and SuChin),
I just would like to say a very special thank you to everyone for making this a great experience. Even though the finalists have not been announced yet, I have truly enjoyed sharing experiences with you and being able to internalize everyone’s art experiences from all over the world. It is amazing that we have connected to each other on multiple levels of interaction and none of us have even met! We are truly the children of the technology era
I wish everyone the best and beyond.
-Vaughn
July 14th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Okay, that last link worked.
I love that.
Josh ~ Dreamweaver……oh man, its easy but is it ever sloooow, lol
July 14th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Vaughn ~ Thanks man, I raise my glass to you!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Demetrius~SWEET
July 14th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Ok Alyissnesss. I was just saying that you and I both noticed that the guy in the trash can was missing. I think I typed the sentence in which I was listing people that weren’t in the pic wrong. Blame it on the Benadryl. lol
July 14th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
thanks alyissnesss
July 14th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
ok in my defense I only used dreamweaver to publish my flash site! Dreamweaver is not my fav. but it got the job done.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
darn you BENADRYLLLLL!!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
1. that loft looks like the last supper, only the jesus’s missing.
2. in spite of the nice words, you bring nothing new to the table supak.
i would’ve much liked to be notified if i was a winner or not. now it’s too late, because i got that figured out myself. so that was the paramount thing, to see that you mtv can reciprocate and provide proper feedback. other than that, this blog’s just like a dream. and it’s made of the same stuff dreams are made of.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
thanks vaughn
July 14th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Josh, I am wearing out my refresh button too. Do you ever get the feeling that your computer is going to get disgruntled one day because you’re clicking the refresh button too much? I can just see my computer throwing a fit and going into hibernation mode. lol
July 14th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
@ysabella:
r u from the U.S or over seas?
July 14th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Alyissnesss, that is what I feel like saying too. lol
July 14th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Denesia~ I think that actually happened to me before
July 14th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
I would have to agree with you Denesia!!!!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
ysabella ~ If you get involved, it might not be that bad. I happen to want to see where this goes. If it doesnt, then it doesnt.. But I want it too.
Dee~ Order me a new refresh button please!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Okay, people……Tony needs food. See you all in a bit.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
@demetrius:
im from the states - i live in ny, ridgewood. why?
July 14th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW
I’M CRAZY!
My legs don’t stop
Congratulations for all of us who make this blog so interesting…
=D
We can make a Design Company togeder…
is a great idea…
think about it
thanks
July 14th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
NOW there is a GREAT idea!!!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
@Rodrigo Bastos Didier: man, you’re smart, hats off. i was thinking that could look that YYZ, but i didn’t know what that stand for. you’re smart, bravo.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:28 pm
See ya later Tony! Have fun munching!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Alyissnesss, did your refresh button cause your computer to go into hibernation or did something else make it go into hibernation? One day I let my nephew play games on my computer and he kept pushing the keys so fast that my computer went into hibernation mode. I told him my computer was having issues and that it needed a break. lol
July 14th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Rodrigo’s idea does sound good.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
oh I was doing a school project with circles and a computer went to sleep on me, then it came back on, then went off again.
But MySpace has beena acting up on me today, I dunno how many times I refreshed, my computer started glitching up afterwards but it didnt go into a silent protest luckily lol.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:34 pm
@alyissnesss. oh, i just wanted to know because when i read ur post I thought u had received an email or something saying u wasn’t chosen
July 14th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Do you mean ysabella?
July 14th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
oh my bad alyissnesss… I was responding to ysabella
July 14th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
@ysabella. oh, i just wanted to know because when i read ur post I thought u had received an email or something saying u wasn’t chosen
July 14th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Alyissnesss, it’s good your computer didn’t go into silent protest. lol
July 14th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
did anyone receive an email?
July 14th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
@demetrius: no i did not receive any, but i wish i had. it would’ve kept me from putting way too many projects on hold
July 14th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
awe ok… ysabella
July 14th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
@ Tony C–thanks for always being so encouraging and supportive to everyone here.
@Shawne–don’t you worry, our audio geniuses will not be overlooked. in the meantime, would love to hear some of your remixes!
@ Joel M–you should be a media executive and I just basically cut and paste your comment and sent to producers over here. my experience working in a creative, not so stable field is that you never know when or where opportunities will come. most of my work i’ve gotten through unexpected avenues and always through the people i’ve met and impressed. when starting out in any creative field, my best advice always is to say yes, yes and yes, because a door will open when you least expect it. of course, i will keep you and everyone here posted on what the new developments will be. remember guys, this is all new to us too! but our hearts are in it and we’re passionate about YOU!
@Dawn–we are working on a gallery and i love your ideas. there will be more opportunities to showcase all of your guys’ work in the coming weeks. even a few surprises you will all love.
@Rodrigo–if i can just figure out a way to get the sweet treats over international waters…! you’ve pitched another great project/idea for us…GUITAR HERO videos. i wanna see you rock it out!
@Deneisa–propolis, it’s actually a great Latin American remedy (my friend from Brazil turned me on to it.) feel better.

well Im going to get something to eat ttyl !!!!!!!
July 14th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
@SuChin: Yeah…who would have thought that the 8th place winner in forensic speaking would now be a super-famous host on MTV.
Personally I thought you peaked on Newton’s Apple though…that show rocked the casbah. But yes I agree…you never know where the next door will come from…
July 14th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Rodrigo’s idea reminded me of that season of Real World where MTV let the cast start a business and if it did well, they would extend the season some more weeks and they could keep running it after the show ended. Well none of that happened because people were arguing with each other too much. It would be cool if they did an online or offline tv series where they give some digital artists a chance to start their own company and they follow their ups and downs. It would be like Food Network’s Ace of Cakes, but with digital artists.
July 14th, 2008 at 4:50 pm

July 14th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Thanks SuChin! I will definitely look for that. I will chunk my Benadryl out the window if it works for me. lol
July 14th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
SuChin ~ Never a problem. I know a string of good ideas and good people when I see em.
Dee ~ I like the Ace of Cakes comparision, I think you may just have something there.
I can only speak for myself, but I will show up for work here on the blog on the 17th like clockwork. Its habit now.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Alyissnesss ~ No one does color like you!
July 14th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
Thanx, and your paintings and sketches rule, would you call them surrealism? Pheonix is my favorite…
July 14th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
Alyissnesss ~ Well, thats much appreciated, sincerely. I dont think they started out as surreal, but now, yes I think I would.
How would you classify your creations? To me, they say a vibrant great mood.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
The Geisha being my favorite one.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
i actually never thought about that. I guess VIBRANT would cover it.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
Tony, you will see me clocking in for work on the 17th too. lol
Alyissnesss, do you hand paint your artworks and then scan them into the computer and do Photoshop magic to them or are they 100% created in Photoshop? Your artworks look great! I wouldn’t mind seeing one of them on my wall everyday.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Alyissnesss ~ Yes it would.
Dee ~ I expected nothing less from you!
July 14th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
@ Suchin
1st Idea: We “THE DESIGNERS” should have our very own reality tv show with a community of creative artists living together in “That Loft”. On the show we will have a family thats based off this blogg. There will even be a trouble maker who will keep the show exciting and the viewers tooned in.
@2nd Idea: Mtv should create the newest myspace called “THE ENGINE ROOM”
Were artist compete against each other for their ranking in mtvs top 20 designers from across the world. And the names would be aired on mtv’s show and website every months.
@3rd idea: We should have a mtv digital artist awards just like the B.E.T awards and have superstars come to it to recruit designers.
@4rd idea: Lets not forget about THE ENGINE ROOM MOVIE. I really think people will be tuned in to an mtv horror flick or we could just do a movie about a class of designers that needs someone to put their foot down on them. For example think about the movies, “LEAN ON ME”, “HIGH SCHOOL HIGH”, “THE SUBSTITUTE” AND PUT us designers as those bad groups of kids in those classrooms. We’ll have talent but be bad has ever and there will be a teacher who comes in and change our life and way of doing things. Then as the movie nears the end thats were a team of respectful and dedicated designers form from a group of wild and bad school kids.
I feel that my movie ideas will make a lot of money but I never think anyone ever listens. Thats why I don’t really take them too seriously. I just make a portion of it and let people read and then go on to doing the next best thing.
But one thing I will never do is “GIVE UP”… I follow my slogan: “CREATE OR DIE!”
July 14th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
thanx Denesia,
most of them are created using existing images, I just layer them. Some the backgrounds are painted or colored then scanned in and layered with other images. The one with the winged woman and tags that says be known, is the only one that I created then scanned in and didn’t alter too much.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
I love vibrant colors. When I go shopping, I am always drawn to the most colorful thing.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
@Demetrius i think create or die t-shirts are in order
July 14th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
@Denesia I like how you do a little bit of everything!!
July 14th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
That’s cool Alyissnesss. I like your technique.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Demetrius & Dee~ “Engine Room - Create or Die!” Now I like that, big and bold on a t-shirt!
SuChin ~ Following Demetrius’ movie idea, How bout a series of featured digital shorts that creep up between the main portion of the “Engine Room” show itself? Short 30 second feature sof the artists on the blogs that fly several pieces of art at you one after the other, intermixed with photos of said artist? Music in the background…….God, itd be cool, just quick flashes of someone creative genius….then their name, age, what they specialize in, where they’re from and then back to the show! That way, even though someoen who didnt make the show can be showcased briefly on MTV.
Yeah, definitely…
July 14th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
@ALYISSNESSS… I KNOW I WANT ONE AND WILL WEAR IT TO THE FULLEST
July 14th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
I’m seeing it!
July 14th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
SuChin ~ We could call those shorts, “Engine Room Blasts!”
July 14th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
@TONY & @SUCHIN!
THATS A GOOD IDEA. ALSO EVERYONE ON THE SHOW SHOULD WEAR “CREATE OR DIE” T-SHIRTS DURING THE FILMING INSTEAD OF REGULAR SHIRTS.
EACH TEAM SHOULD HAVE A DIFFERENT COLOR SET OF SHIRTS WITH “CREATE OR DIE!” ON THEM. THAT WOULD BE HOT…………..

Alyissnesss, I definitely do a little bit of everything. lol At my college, you couldn’t just concentrate on graphic design. I had to take drawing, painting, weaving, ceramics, and etc. I ended up liking all those things and kept on doing them. The only thing that isn’t on my portfolio are my sewing and weaving work. I am going to add pics of those things to my portfolio in the next few weeks.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
Im kust thinking of the teams, if they put a sound designer with a video person and an image designer with all the knowlege of design the endless possibilities that one team could create!!
July 14th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
The t-shirts sound like a good idea.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Awesome Denesia I will check that out
July 14th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Demetrius ~ Excellent idea!!!! Big bold stenciled almost old naval type on a big beefy T!
July 14th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
Dee ~ Definitely!
July 14th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
am i seeing a create or die clothing line? hats, jackets, baby onesies, charm bracelets, belt buckles!!
July 14th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
That would be cool Alyissnesss.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Looks like the collaborating juices are flowing. lol
July 14th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
hey my mom is on her way home, and she’ll probably want her computer back, (and not to mention the dishes I didn’t wash) so I’ll talk to you all a bit l8er
July 14th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
The other night I dowloaded some t-shirt vectors. We should do a mock-up.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Dee ~ I’m all for that.
July 14th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Talk to you later Alyissnesss! May the force be with you! lol
July 14th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Lets start brainstorming. Do we want create or die to look happy or gruesome?
July 14th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
A bit of both?
July 14th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Thanks for the update SuChin! I can’t wait to see what comes out of this show and blog <3 <3
July 14th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Tony, a bit of both sounds good.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
I subscribe to ZDNet’s newsletter and they say that 1 million iPHone 3Gs have been sold so far. That’s a lot.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
I dont doubt it. From the lines that I saw….
July 14th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
ROFL-copterz!!!1!
That picture is hilarious.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:32 pm
…but I’m not in it.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Danny, add your pic.
July 14th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
As they said in that Heartwarming movie “Demons” …………..”JOIN US!!!!!!”
July 14th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
…also “Evil Dead” Come to think of it…….but you get the idea. lol
July 14th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
Wow, I know I couldn’t have waited in line. I bet people thought it was Christmas in July after seeing those long lines. lol
July 14th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
We need to fix the pic before Danny adds his pic. Do you think we should ask Tati, Drucifer, and Ric to put their pics on the latest pic or should we cut them out from the other pic and put it on the latest one?
July 14th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Might be easier to just put them in, but I couldnt do it until tomorrow, what about you Dee?
July 14th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
Hey, I’m out of here for a few. I have a dinner date with my daughter….
I’ll see you all later!
July 14th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Tony, are you asking me if I want to put them in? Yeah, I can put them in. Have fun on your dinner date! See ya later Tony!
July 14th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
What if maybe have the bloggers vote on the best result in the competition. That could be fun, you know, after the show is filmed, send us the finals and have us look at them too…see if we pick the same ones.
Another thing that could be cool is give us the briefs as well, and we can have a go at the projects as well, then we can all vote for the favorite top 5 or something and have the judges look at those too.
Also, what if maybe there’s a competition going on on this blog, and then you have a “special guest” on the show…”from the blog”. If nothing else, it will give people the idea of the blog and that there’s stuff going on here.
I’m sure there are a few of us that can come up with b-roll/bumper music, graphics, intros, credits and titles. That would be fun.
I’m sure some of the designers in the vicinity would love to have a walk on or something. Maybe have a drawing or something where one of our guys are in the elevator when some of the team members go to lunch or something. Or deliver pizza during one of the all-nighters or something.
I think working 6on the graphics for season 2 would be a cool thing to open up to the bloggers. We’d just need to set up a site to “watch” updates and vote and whatever. Like this: http://www.dontpaniconline.com.
my two cents

Dude, what if there was a “fifth” team made up of bloggers. This could be an “add on” when the results are tallied. The judges could also have a look at the blog team entiry for the project as well.
SuChin says:
“Let’s see how “Team Blogger” did on this project…oh, wow, the judges seem to really lean toward the blogger team…again…wow, they are really kicking butt. Look at how they came together, like they have been working together for years.”
Maybe HP would award some honorable mention laptops or something.

I’d love to take a crack at the end credits. You know, give me the limitations, specs and the list of names and I’ll make a flash animation…maybe with a “These End Credits designed by GoycoDesign.com” or something like that.
July 14th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
WOW a lot has been going on scince ive been gone jaja!!!! goes to show what a new entry can do to us! well i think what u all have been suggesting (just skimmed through) sounds great! it would be excellent if we could have the briefs too… and do some brainstorming that the contestants could look through…. then again it might lead to the groups getting an idea and doing the same thing…. maybe the groups could take turns in reading the bloggers ideas?? Sort of like they do on these tv show when they get to get a phone call?
oh yes a “team blogger” could be interesting too…. it could be interesting aswell for external people to send pictures for a “moodboard” of whatever project the 15 chosen ones are doing and get them put up on the loft to inspire them…. i dunno!
July 14th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Cool pic above, I woulda been nice if SuPak woulda grabbed a later version where I was in it…

Wow, the wonders of social media… what else could have brought together such an amazing group of talented digital artists.
I know the time is close at hand and just wanted to say good luck to everyone and to say thank you to MTV. (MTV caused my first rebellion when christian boys weren’t allowed to listen to rock music. hehehe) Thanks MTV!
…who else thought Aubrey Klein was such a DOLL! oxoxox, so cute!
