Promoting on the blogosphere

Chris here. So apparently blogosphere is a 'real' word, according to blogger.com. I made a bunch of behind the scenes changes to the blog to boost hits, as well as redesigned a spiffy new logo for the top right.

Chris hax to show his loyalty

Chris here, I decided to leave my laptop at home in hopes of detoxing from the internet while away on family vacation. Well, turns out Grandma got a cable modem, so much for that. I did learn how to speed read, which is pretty grand, but more importantly I hacked my Verizon RAZR to show a logo that I care about rather than verizon's red checkmark that really should be a giant corporate boner ramming you in the wallet. So much good information over at HackTheRAZR.com.

Moving Box Update!

Hey! Chris here, it's been a while since the blog has been active, but a lot has been going on and I hope to catch you up.

1. We've receieved our investment. This is a huge step for us as a company, it allows us to pay our full-time department directors a small amount, as well as start construction. Actually, I'll make that it's own number.

2. Construction has started! This is so exciting, considering we've been working since august in a huge white sound-tunnel that when someone farts all the keyboards rattle. We'll be turning our three rooms into an Audio Control Room, Green Screen Shooting space, Two isolation booths, an Animation room, solo editing suite, business meeting room, and lounge.

3. Internships! With construction underway, we're now looking for bright motivated individuals to work at what will soon be the coolest place in Ithaca. Interested in an internship in Animation, Video Production, Web Design or Audio/Music production? Drop us an email: Contact [AT] MovingBoxStudios.com (replace [AT] with @)

Now that we're getting paid and things are working out, I'll be able to keep a focus on Moving Box's web activity, and we won't have any more 5 week lapses of blog posts. Sorry for that! Stay tuned for more from us!

Look out for this piece soon, and in the meantime take the Glassbooth quiz.

Hey, Chris here. AuditionHQ has had some upgrades, including an awesome new file uploading solution from the cool dudes over at Encodable Industries. It's super sweet Ajax with upload bar and in browser FTP (not currently enabled). Way more reliable than the old PHP script that didn't work for anyone except me. The JAVA AUDITIONS have been extended an extra week for the people who've had trouble submitting.
