Wow, a list post! Cool!!! (According to Guy Kawasaki, anyways….)

For those of you arriving here for the first time, you’ve already been invited to stay current, therefore, I’ll get right to the concept. Which should give you a clue. If you don’t even know what The 168 Project is, then go there, and come back. I’ll wait.

So, you’ve set out to make a 168 Project film, have you? Great!! I’ll see you on verse selection night. Otherwise, you probably want to know why the other day, when I related to my good friend that I’m making two films, her response was, “What? Are you crazy?” To which I replied, “Quite possibly, yes.”

One Team

For those that have been following this blog for any length of time, you know that I’m creating two films for The 168 Project this year. So, technically, I have two teams. Those of you that have been paying attention, (You didn’t know I was charging attention, did you?) <insert evil laugh here> know that last season, I created a movie in competition, coming soon to a WalMart rack near you, AND a music video trailer out of the main competition, for the trailer competition. I did that all with one team.

Two Films

This season, that’s right, there is a 168 season, which means, you can hunt them, all I need to do is move the production of the trailer up a week. This will mean that I’ll effectively be shooting a music video at the same time. Brilliant! Even if I do say so myself. So again technically, not two films, but a film and a music video.

Three Outcomes

There are actually more, but the basic outcomes are, both films make the Best of 168 2012 DVD, only one does, or neither do. The last would depress me, but these things happen as movies are subjective. Although, Blue Blazes is on the 2011 DVD, and I think you can purchase that at their site. Which you’ve already gone to, and hopefully come back from. You could purchase The Blue Blazes DVD from me, however, a terrible tragedy has befallen my Super Drive. That’s right, it got exposed to Kryptonite. Or the random equivalent from the Blaziverse. And it doesn’t even wear a cape!!!

Not to worry, I’ll farm that out, but these things take time. So, an appropriate call to action would be to pray, give, and then pray some more. Wash, rinse, repeat. Any amount is cool. May I suggest a penny per follower?

I’ve been told you can pray at the PrayMore, but I’ve never found it. I know where the Buy More is, but the closest one is in Burbank. Right near the 168 Project offices. Therefore, stopping by the closest church within walking distance will probably suffice. Hint: Any distance is walking distance, if you’re willing to walk that far.

To my #CoWorking friends, pass the word. Tell your friends that aren’t necessarily Co-Working with us, to stop by and leave a comment.

For the rest of you, you don’t have to be CoWorking to leave a comment, so, you should do that anyways.

Have I covered all my bases?

Let me know in the comment fields below.

That’s my story. Hope you enjoyed it™

    Love the new format. It makes it much easier to navigate!

      Thanks, Susan, that means a lot. My question to you about that is, do you think I should switch the Team 33 Productions Logo with the site name in the header? There will be a follow up question no matter how you answer. Thanks again for stopping by!

        Not sure it matters. I think it would be great either way. Though perhaps the eye expects words from left to right – at least for those of us whose languages read in that direction!

          My concern is, if someone comes to the site for the absolutely first time, and they know little if anything about me, and/or The 168 Project, will they be confused? That’s where this concern comes from….

          • http://twitter.com/momzilla54 Susan Critelli

            they might be. Maybe you should have a static page that people can go to that tells what the site is about – with a category in that top menu that says “about” or something that will immediately tell them where to get that info if they are confused. Even though you have earlier posts that explain things, once they drop off the front page, it is more complex to find them and frankly, you don’t have that long to grab their attention – less than 10 seconds.

            I have those pages, at least, I thought I did. Checkout it’s not about me, and no, really, it’s not about me…. And give me your impression of those. Thanks!

      My father always told me, “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.” I’ve always remembered that. I think a better thing to offer would be encouragement, and continued support via regular visits to this site. Deal?

    Here’s hoping for the Best of All Possible Outcomes (both films make the Best of 168 DVD). Looking forward to hearing what verses you get!

    • http://my168project.co Matches Malone

      Verse selection is the first Monday in February if I’ve read their calendar of events correctly. Until then, with the theme being ‘Promises, Promises” I can only guess as to which one verse I’d get.  It’s not clear to me that an exercise in futility like this is how God wishes me to spend my time between now and then.

      Alternatively, he wants me to memorize the entire Bible….

    Thanks for the recap, Mike. It read like a “previously on …,” which, given the “Chuck” reference, may have been your intent. best of luck. Happy Thanksgiving!
