I’m outraged. My muxtape has 0 favorites [ed: I'm up to 1 favorite!]. I mean come on people!
Who doesn’t like montage songs and credit themes?!
Who doesn’t like Real Genius, The Jewel of the Nile, Weird Science, Back to School, & Beverly Hills Cop?!!
Black Dollar Productions teamed up with Quiet Pirate Press to create this meditation on what a Web 2.0 video might look like if it was created by an robot Noel Coward. The piece debuted at BETALEVEL’s Late Night Snack in Chinatown.
Two of the robot voices were default Mac text-to-speech voices. The other two, the bawdy Brits, were GhostReader voices. I split the main script into four character scripts and exported each characters lines to audio. After timing the stop motion in Premier, I chopped up each characters audio in Digital Performer and edited it all together with sound effects and Kraftwerk.

Black Dollar Productions was hired by Quiet Pirate Press as a web media consultant to help build their new website and produce a video piece for an upcoming event.
Their website needs were simple enough: a blog style CMS allowing all Quite Pirate contributors to post articles, and web 2.0 link share, and a mailing list. A fresh MT4 install with a custom layout and plugin enhancements, coupled with a ma.gnolia account and a DreamHost mass mailer list, and the job was done
GJ Echternkamp of Bionic Films fame hired Black Dollar Productions to create a site for his wacko Ray Charles fan letters. Is there a better place for wacko fan letters than the internet? And so letterstoray.com was born.
Some of my favorites: Orange Man, Curtis Close, all the letters asking for money, and the letter addressed to President Ford.
It’s a Flash application with a PHP/MySQL backend keeping track of all the comments and letter ranking.
