  • The Best of February 2010

    February 28th, 2010

    It’s the end of the month, so I thought I would revisit my favorite posts from January:

    Music Mondays

    I announced the winners of the GITRD-FF Valentine’s contest.
    I loved giving out the new limited edition latex CD case.  It’s so cool.

    Trivia Tuesdays

    On February 2nd I was very excited to share the grand prize for Trivia Tuesdays: the iPad
    Tune in on Tuesdays to earn your chance for the grand prize drawing.

    Wordplay Wednesdays

    I enjoyed the most recent ALMT-WW because of the great participation: word association.
    It’s never to late to play.  Check out the games I’ve put out in the last two months.

    Theatrical Thursdays

    Tim Hayes’ review of Precious
    I most enjoyed this review, because with the Oscar’s right around the corner I was wondering if I was alone in my dismay.

    Fan Fridays

    This fan-made model of Girl In The Red Dress
    Our first character model was so special.  Now we just need them mass produced!

    Social Saturdays

    Wordle for Twitter
    I enjoyed my temporary word cloud backdrop while it lasted.

    Funday Sundays

    My Hairstory
    It was a lot of fun to reminisce of hair styles and colors of days gone by.

    So there you have it. Our shortest month of the year is over and I’ll have even more awesome blog posts next to chose from. Stay tuned for some big changes coming up on the website and some merchandise we’ll be launching. Keep coming back for more and leave me feedback in the comments on what you’d like more of.

  • GITRD-FF: Valentine’s Day Contest, win red latex CD case!

    February 12th, 2010

    On ALMT-Fan Fridays I write about fandom.

    With Valentine’s Day coming up, I thought I would take a moment to tell you, my fans, that I love and appreciate you.

    Being an independent filmmaker and musician is a tough gig. With it comes rejection, financial insecurity, and the skepticism that no one gives a fig what I am writing about or creating. Except my mom. She reads my blog every day. (Hi Mom. I’ll call you later.)

    But I do it, because I don’t what else to do. I can’t imagine doing anything else but trying to make the dreams in my head a reality. It’s quite a rollercoaster and having your feedback and creative contributions makes the ride fun, rather than scary.

    So, I try to invent ways to keep you entertained and involved. Like the daily blog. I started that on January 1st and already I feel much better acquainted with those of you that comment or send me  Twitter or Facebook feedback.

    And the little contests. We started the iPod contests last year and plan to continue them, because of the great interaction it brought.  The same goes for Trivia Tuesdays. I know that I love giveaways and it makes me feel valued. That’s why we decided to give away an iPad for the grand prize (to say THANK YOU for tuning into ALMT-TT).

    We’re even about to undergo some changes on the website that I hope will bring us even closer together. I want to make the site as easy to navigate, including my outside projects. I want the social interaction to become less cumbersome. I want you to be able to easily subscribe to the features that want to receive.  Fingers crossed we’ll be able to offer that, and more.

    But the project that I am really passionate about? Girl In The Red Dress – Fan Fridays. I can envision a community where you can remix and revision each others contributions, creating a truly collaborative environment. It could grow into a social network of sorts, so you can easily communicate with each other (which some of you already do on Twitter). Kind of like Deviant Art meets Etsy meets Youtube meets some kind of awesome remix technology that is certain to be out there.

    But I digress.  The point is, you guys rock and I can dream because of you.  You lift me up on a terribly non-fantastic day.  You give me the drive to write blog after blog and plan giveaway after giveaway. Because of you, I dream big and trust I’ll get there in the end.

    On that note, I was thinking
    I should do a little sumpin’ sumpin’ for V-day.
    Well, it just so happens that I have a pretty amazing custom-made, limited edition red and black latex CD case to accompany the GITRD EP (which you already know about if you checked out the recent GITRD-FF newsletter).

    I thought I would throw a little contest and give TWO of these away. One for the artistically-adoit and  one for the creatively-challenged.

    I will award my favorite GITRD-FF submission with this very special, limited edition case and the CD. I’m going to give another set away to a random submission, so it pays just to try. To quality you must submit between now until the end of Sunday. That only gives you the weekend, so get cracking!

    Remember it can be a picture, a poem, a photo, a sculpture, a movie, a song, a dress, a cake, a comic book or anything else you can express a story or character through. It can be short or long. Big or small. Intricate or simple. You just need to follow these guidelines and you’ll be golden.
    Work in a team, if you like (just don’t forget Where Is The Love when it comes to sharing the prize).

    And don’t forget that EVERY approved submission will receive this glossy 8×10 photo of the Girl.
    You can’t lose.

    So show the Girl some love for Valentine’s Day!

    Much love and respect,
    Amber (aka GITRD)
