Hello all,
I just wanted to give you an update on "All Things Pinhead".
1) Please take a look at the "Join Us" page, there are quite a few signatures added and we would love it if anyone who is thinking of participating would sign the page at www.pinheadhq.com - Please consider participating, it's lots of fun.
2) If anyone needs the voice of Pinhead for their movie clip, please send me a PM and I can get the lines done for you.
3) We announced the prize for participating would be in the form of a draw and the prize is "Sonicfire Pro" Scoring Edition by Smartsound which is worth $99. Along with this prize comes 2 CD's of their layered music which sell for $99 each. I wanted to point out a few things about this program and the CD's. They sell both stereo and layered music. The layered music allows you to select a "Mood" and change it up along the score. Additionally, you can stretch the music or shrink it by pulling and pushing on the time line. You can also alter the "tempo" and you can manually add or take away instruments. Therefore, you can have the right musical emphasis at the right time.
Altho the music is expensive, they often have sales which is when I buy. For example, I just got 3 layered CD's for $89.99. I usually select good storytelling music but there are plenty of other categories.
Lastly - for those that use the latest version of Video Studio, you can use this music right inside Video Studio and, with the latest version, you can also select the mood right withing Video Studio. Pinnacle Studio supported Smartsound up until version 12 but they have now dropped it.

4) So far there have been 2 clips submitted in the 2D division by RogRead. I know of quite a few people working away so it looks like we will have great participation. :)
5) For those that have not been to the website, I will list the prizes here in no particular order.
a) Pinnacle Studio Ultimate (a video editing program, the high-end version with lots of cool plugins)
b) 2 copies of Pro Tools Vocal Studio - This includes 60 virtual instruments, a microphone and controls to professionally create your sound track

d) "Vitascene" by prodad, a video effects program that allows you to add hundreds of special effects and transitions to your video. I believe this can be a plugin to many video editing software packages such as Ulead, Sony -etc. www.prodad.com
