Check out this video by our friends at DotLot™ and The Buddy Group. They did an amazing job combining the Red camera, stuntment, green screens, etc. for some pretty incredible interactive ads that really compell you to “click”.

Another day of fun in Toronto at the film festival. Walked across the street from my hotel to see the stars walk the red carpet for the premiere of “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist“. The fans & photogs were all crowded near the entrance, so I headed around back near the hospitality tent where I had a clear line to take some decent shots. Even got a chance to have a brief chat with Tyler Labine, star of Reaper and in the movies Control Alt Delete (which he made with his brother Cameron) and Zack and Miri Make a Porno — both movies were playing at the festival.
My real reason for being at the festival was to support my friends who made the movie Deadgirl. The movie was frightening, humorous, and downright disturbing all at once. I was totally impressed and so happy for everyone involved in the film.
Here’s some photos of the glamorous peeps:

On my second day in Toronto for TIFF08, I decided to wander the city with camera in hand and hope for the best.
After seeing a slam dunk contest and a pretty cool sidewalk chalk drawing in the Younge/Dundas square, I wandered up to Ryerson University and almost walked into LeBron James as he was being ushered out of a movie premiere. Missed getting a photo of him but at least his entourage didn’t beat the crap out of me for not watching where I was going.
I had been to the Sutton Place Hotel the previous day and since festival registration was there I thought I’d take a walk over that way to see if anyone was hanging around. The lobby at Sutton Place was bustling with flimgoers so I walked around the back of the hotel to escape the crowds. Good thing I did. Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) and The Edge (U2) stepped out of the hotel just as I turned the corner. Found out later they were at the hotel doing a press conference for the movie “It Might Get Loud“.
