A chat with Seattle's own "8-bit" composin', guerrilla filmmakin' "Colbert Girl"


By 5 p.m. the next day, less than 24 hours after Colbert announced his candidacy, Colbert Girl's video was done.

Leeni has been a singer/songwriter for years, recently switching to the underground "8-bit" music style (she uses a Game Boy and a drum machine). And as you might guess, being in a "guerrilla" filmmaking group means knowing how to make movies on the fly. Read Seattle PI Blog Post

Band-Aid?


This video is an excellent example to follow for lighting, sound and background.

Born and raised in Virginia and of Filipino ethnicity, Christine Gambito, better known to her audience as HappySlip, studied and graduated in nursing while obtaining several cameo appearances and small parts in television commercials and movies, industrial and training films.

Gambito started posting videos as HappySlip hoping that the videos could eventually earn her enough money that she could stay home with her young son. She has cited as one of her inspirations toward this goal Brooke Brodack, who turned her internet video hobby into a career after being signed by NBC. - Wikipedia

WCG 2007: TEAM USA CAPTURES OVERALL TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP

TEAM USA CAPTURES OVERALL TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP AT WORLD CYBER GAMES GRAND FINAL IN SEATTLE

For Only the Second Time in The History of the Tournament, The American Team Claims the Title of Planet's Best Gaming Nation

(Press Release)- Team USA shocked the rest of the world as it won the overall team title at the World Cyber Games Grand Final in Seattle. Competing against more than 700 gamers from a record 74 countries, the United States overcame the stiffest competition in World Cyber Games history to capture the gold. It is the United States second team title and first since the 2005 WCG Grand Final in Singapore. In claiming the title, the Americans won three gold medals, two silver medals and a bronze medal in 12 PC and Xbox 360 titles. Korea and Brazil each earned two gold medals while Germany had one gold, one silver and three bronze. The result was a huge disappointment for the heavily favored and defending world champion Korean team who have dominated professional gaming since its inception.

"Our goal was to capture the overall team title," said Michael Arzt, General Manager of International Cyber Marketing USA. "With the Grand Final on our home soil, we wanted to prove that we are as good as the Koreans, Germans and the other dominant Asian and European teams. I knew that we had put together a very talented team that had the potential to medal in every game in which we had a qualifier and they really stepped up to the plate this weekend. "

Team USA captured gold medals in Tony Hawk Project 8, Gears of War, and Dead Or Alive 4 (DOA 4). In Tony Hawk, Dustin Valcalda (Reno, NV) bowled over the competition as he never lost a game during the entire event. Participating in his first professional tournament, Valcada defeated England in the finals and the Czech Republic in the semis. The Gears of War team -- including Keith Haggen (Phoenix), Jesse Cranker (Bowling Green, OH), Michael Cannon (Harrisburg, PA), and Jesse Rodriguez (Chicago) -- also experienced little difficulty in rolling to the gold medal. They defeated The Netherlands 2-0 in the gold medal match. In DOA 4, Jeremy Florence (Albuquerque, NM) also never lost during the competition in coasting to the title. Florence overcame American teammate and bronze medalist Carl White (Toledo, OH) in the semifinals as he avenged his loss to White during the National Championships last month in Orlando, FL. In the gold medal match, he dominated Sweden, 2-0.

Wes Cwiklo (Camarillo, CA) and Ragav Phadke (Buffalo, NY) each earned silver medals for the Americans. The defending 2006 WCG Grand Final world champion in Project Gotham Racing 3, Cwiklo dominated in his first eight matches before he was upset in the gold medal match against The Netherlands. Phadke, meanwhile, came out of nowhere to compete at a world-class level in the Age of Empires III tournament, a game typically dominated by the Asian countries.

"With so many quality video game players representing 74 countries this weekend, e-Sports continues to gain popularity and worldwide acceptance," said Hyoung-Seok Kim, CEO of International Cyber Marketing, global organizer of the World Cyber Games."This year's event in Seattle was our biggest and best yet. I am thrilled by the performance of the United States team, but every team and nation should be proud of how they performed during this Grand Final. "
