Wanna get yourself an "easy" 300k views on Youtube?

Here's all you have to do: get yourself booked at the Edinburgh Fringe Comedy Festival, record a song that puts a profanity-laced spin on a classic REM tune, shoot a video for that song featuring a whole bunch of other funny people you meet in Edinburgh, and release. Oh yeah, it doesn't hurt to be musical comedy gurus Stuckey and Murray as well.

After months and months of hard work, our engineering and design teams have finally launched Zannel 2.0 on August 22nd, 2007. The new and improve makeover of the site now has a new fresh and slick look to give users a better experience using Zannel. Zannel new look is not the only thing that have been changed to the site. With the new look, it came with the text conversions support where threads can be started about the videos and pictures on Zannel.

Equipped with tools such as send to friend(s) email or mobile phones and the embed players on the web are by far the easiest way to share videos and pictures.

Zannel are currently working with companies such as Warner Bros, My Damn Channel, Ripe Tv, The Daily Reel and more to get their videos onto the mobile world and featuring them on the homepage.

Check out www.zannel.com and let me know what you think about it. I would love to hear the inputs about Zannel.

Such a great song...perfect for summer.

Thoughts on the video??

their sound isn't for everyone, but if you're into gritty, minimalist rap that kinda harks back to the salt-n-pepa era, yo majesty is the group for you. this floridian trio is big with the hipster crowd -- don't let that scare you off. they're awesome and a great live show. check out the video for "club action."

Shutter Magazine is looking for YOUR help!

Here's the open positions:

1) New writers - start writing articles about anything film related that you feel could teach an aspiring filmmaker, or that you feel is noteworthy, or something that's satirical like Todd Voltz's 10 ways to seduce a casting director (lol); write about what you love about film!!!!

2) Layout designer: Someone familiar with digitally laying out a magazine and how it needs to be designed

3) Reporters: In addition to article writers, we need to have people that take it upon themselves to cover events and to keep all of us up to date on what's going on in the local film industry

4) Sales people / Street Team - so that the magazine will generate revenue and provide writers and layout designers with compensation, so that we can cover the expense of the print and the expenses. Sales people should earn 15% of their sale.

5) Music - Someone who will oversee what local bands and acts would be willing to donate their music for independent films and make sure they get a listing in Shutter's music for your film page

6) Publishers - You will oversee the printing, the layout design, and work with the Editor-in-Chief to make sure that the magazine is properly distributed

7) Web Designer - You will oversee the Web Design, and make Shutter's awareness known on the web, keeping the myspace page up to date, sending out messages via the facebook group, etc.

In the 80s/90s animated television series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the characters are introduced by name and what they do in the opening theme song: "Splinter taught them to be ninja teens, Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines. Raphael is..."

There seems to be some discord on the internet about Raphael--is he "cool but rude" or "crude but rude"?

Find out for yourself, and help me settle a long standing bet. It's about 45 seconds into the clip. VOTE NOW!

The web's newest tradition - comedy music video Friday here at the Daily Reel - continues with a shout out to new Daily Reeler J Chris Newberg and his music video for The Ultimate Breakup Song. Check it out...

Chris "Crash" Richard, an old school member of Studio 8, is
currently touring with his band
The Deadly
Syndrome to promote their new rock album entitled "The Ortolan",
which hits stores on September 11, 2007.

To further
promote this fantastic album, the band filmed a bunch of silly promo
videos that will be released all over the internet in the coming
weeks. The boys of Studio8.net were asked to help produce one of
these videos, which you will find below. It's called "Happy
Birthday" and it stars Jared, Java, Brock, Fernando, Rory, &

The Deadly Syndrome. Enjoy it and then buy "The Ortolan"
while you still can before it gets outlawed for blatantly redefining
modern music.
