Leo & Khloe Are Saving the Tigers

What the world needs now is peace. Brotherhood. Great on-air promotion.

Oh, and more wild tigers.

As we ring in 2012, 99 Tigers invites you to join a seriously cool mission: to keep wild tigers from vanishing forever.

As few as 3,200 tigers are left in the wild, endangered by illegal trade and deforestation.

Leo diCaprio and the World Wildlife Fund have launched a global campaign, Save the Tigers, to turn this around. Leo’s pledged $1 million to help build political, financial and public support to double the number of wild tigers by 2022, the next Year of the Tiger.

The Kardashians are letting the fur fly, too.

This week, Khloe Kardashian helped promote the WWF’s Texting for Tigers campaign:

“By texting TIGERS to 20222, your $10 donation will help WWF save the tiger in its vast range–from India to China, to the Russian Far East,” Khloe tweeted, spurring a flood of donations.

So hey, why not start 2012 with a roar? Join 99 Tigers, Leo and Khloe…and save a tiger today.

 

 

 

 

3D BloKart

“3D BloKart”

2011. August 5. NYC.

Do you know what an Anaglyph is? How about “Swapping eyes?” I do. I just spent a week learning about 3D HD. And BloKarting.  Bill Price shot 3D HD footage of BloKarts in the Mojave desert to promote the “2012 BloKart World Championships” in California. I volunteered to edit the 2 and a half minute promotional piece. BloKarting is like sailing except it’s on dry land with wheels. Editing 3D is like regular editing except I had to wear those silly paper glasses over my eyeglasses. Which sometimes made me dizzy. I wanted to do an aggressive, “Big Type” graphic treatment to help tell the story, but it would have had to be 3D to be visible. So I learned how to make Anaglyph: Red/Cyan graphics. Luckily there was tons of info out there on the web, and hundreds of complicated ways of doing it. The hardest part was finding the best/easiest way to do it.

Here is the perfect, most simple method I found in case you want to try.   –Glenn

99 Tigers are scattered—in NYC, Venice, Boston, Dallas, and the In-N-Out Burger on Radford in North Hollywood.

But this week, amazingly, we’re all in NYC. Glenn just wrapped shoots for Bravo’s “Most Eligible: Dallas” and CMT’s “Texas Women” in Texas. David just wrote a rack of “Family Guy” and “Conan” SPGs for TBS. Bill just dropped some “Actuality” bombs on truTV. And Brett just cut a slammin’ Carmelo Anthony tape for MSG.

So now we’re thirsty and hanging at the glamorous Bridges Bar in the New York Hilton lobby.

Yep, that’s us. Waving at you with sparkly drinks and nodding at the booth next to us, near all the other glamorous people wearing achingly chic Promax lanyards.

See you on the Intrepid Tuesday night. This year, no Zeros dive bombing the flight deck—just passing thunderstorms and the intensity of thousands speaking ardently about branding, design, and what’s new with Rep. Anthony Wiener (Dem, NY, retired).
