Does this mean we will never do anything again? No.

When will we do something new? Whenever we get the proper funding.

Sadly, we have many projects both small and large that never got off the ground. These scripts will be fine-tuned over the coming time and hopefully never forgotten. Once operations resume as normal, we will shoot these videos and get them up on the web asap.

Until then, please try to enjoy the random thoughts that will be filled in on this blog.

Until then-

In the other, you have the noble Kermit the Frog.

Both wonderful childhood mascots, both dangerous amphibeans. So we posed the question: who would win in a one on one deathmatch to the…death?

Kermit, born in 1969 on Sesame Street, was the popular hero for children and role models for adults everywhere. This frog might seem sweet and gentle-hearted, but don’t let his soft voice fool you. Kermit is intelligent and crafty. He has a massive posse behind him that includes a bear, a dog and a…whatever.

Dig ‘Em however, born in 1972 as the mascot for Honey Smacks cereal, has a small band of ex-mascots in his wake. He might be a fast-talking jive frog, but he certainly has no followers watching his back. It’s also unknown whether Dig ‘Em follows the standard scale of a frog, as pictured on the cereal box of being no larger than a bowl of smacks.

After much discussion and deliberation, it was decided that the victor would be in Dig ‘Em’s favor. Kermit has often been spotted taking quite a bit of harassment and abuse from on-again, off-again girlfriend, Mrs. Piggy. Kermit may have the knowhow, but he doesn’t have the ferocity or motivation to handle a real fight. We concluded that Dig ‘Em, as often seen with a ball cap usually slanted in a gangland manner, was just too “ghetto” for the likes of Kermie. It could be rumored that Dig ‘Em carries a piece and you definitely don’t want to be the caecilian in that sight.

And thus is the difficulties we are facing with this upcoming project. Now- it is only a matter of deciding: Bend to the whim of our member (whose lines are written specifically for them) or cut him and replace him.

We’ll see how things pan out.

A bit of footage will be up shortly for Project: Planning!

We will be testing the waters with a few shorts to see if we still have it in us after last year’s exhausting project. If all is well, Project Zee 2009 will still be scheduled- our project of choice is still “Scene 5.” If you haven’t seen the Teaser yet, watch it now.

I will keep everyone updated on the progress of the new site and the reasoning behind the “lost projects.” As for now, I leave you with simple words of wisdom from our own upcoming Poetry Corner with Chris Shannon:

A Haiku:

~Door
I can be opened
Thus allowing your passage
Unless I am locked

That will be all.

Also, while viewing the video, please make note that Project Zee’s new video streaming player will be Microsoft Silverlight. After the 2008 Olympics, many were impressed with Microsoft’s version of Flash. Project Zee is now one of them.

I hope no one has an issue with installing and configuring Silverlight, as I think it is a wonderful method of sharing media.

For starters, we will be posting videos now. Periodically, please keep checking our Watch Zee page.

Currently, I have uploaded the documentary recorded by Justin Matchett. Entertaining, to say the least. It just goes to show why some people should stay as far as humanly possible from a video camera.

Watch the video here.

I wanted to again thank Christy for such an amazing job on our concession stand! Cheryl’s treats were wonderful as always! And Justin, Albert, Derek, Nikki and Lynh- thank you so much for helping out with the tedious stuff

For now, I will do nothing but sit down, relax, drink some juice and play a few video games.
