This is a story about a coworker’s dog named Jade. I first came across her story when I found a flyer in the company’s break room. It immediately touched me and I wanted to share her story with the world.

Make an Interactive Facebook Badge with Javascript
So copy and past this code in your blog sidebar or widget. Change the code of http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Corporate-Assassin/8587727397 to the Facebook page you want to display.
http://static.ak.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php/en_US<script type="text/javascript">FB.init("a6637eb1240c50dd7ea73686e1a78c53");</script><fb:fan profile_id="8587727397" stream="1" connections="10" width="300"></fb:fan><div style="font-size:8px; padding-left:10px"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Corporate-Assassin/8587727397">The Corporate Assassin</a> on Facebook</div>
Simple to do, go to the Facebook page you want to create a badge and copy the link in the address bar and replace the http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Corporate-Assassin/8587727397 link.
Also change the profile_id in this line fan profile_id=”8587727397″ to the id # of the page you want to showcase. So, “8587727397” is the Corporate Assassin’s page # and I want to change it to Often Awesome The Series page number which is “106583139365159”.
One more change. At the end of the code…
>The Corporate Assassin</a> on Facebook</div>
change the name of Corporate Assassin to whatever you want to call your badge name. I changed mine to Often Awesome The Series.
All you have to do is make those small changes and you now have a javascript Facebook Badge that is more interactive and esthetically pleasing than the html badge that is now the only badge that Facebook gives you.

Upcoming Conversation with Harvey Robinson of Monkeywhale.com
I came across Harvey Robinson’s path through the .matrix Project and was wowed by the beautiful storytelling that he presents in his videos. Monkeywhale is not just Harvey but a collaboration of artists that formed a production company in Greensboro, NC. He is a machine when it comes to creating and I for one can dig it.
This is the Monkeywhale’s latest video. Great music with great people.

Corporate Assassin Outtakes
Some of my favorite moments are cutting together the outtakes. Everyone enjoys them regardless if the film or in this case webisode sucks…I don’t think the webisode sucks. The thing that makes this one so funny is my brother, Sean was sitting across from my father when he says the “Oh my god…He’s a Jap!” line. I don’t know why I had him sitting across from him but it made for a great outtake reel. My dad is hilarious, just the looks on his face makes me crack up each time.
If you haven’t seen the Episode 2: Please Hold you can watch it in full.
“Episode 4: Greatest Hits,” is currently scouting locations for an office. This is a special episode, Anthony Piriano, submitted a really funny and well written script. I will know by Tuesday if I nailed down a location and we plan to shoot on March 7th. If anyone has an office location for us to shoot at or would like to act in an episode please feel free to hit me up.

Christian Bale Rips a DP
[audio:http://fcproducer.com/audio/bale.mp3%5D
This is how I would’ve handled being yelled at. I’m an agitator, if someone is yelling at me crazily I’ll only agitate that person till they go nuts. Now if I did something wrong, you would only have to tell me once and I’d make sure it would never happen again and I would apologize for my actions. I thought it would be fun to parody this audio and lighten it up.
The original audio only had Christian’s voice I added the voice of a DP…not the one who he was yelling at.
I’ve worked on some films where some people needed to get yelled at like this. But at the same time I’m not exactly sure what the DP did in order to cause this rampage.
Correction…Ain’t It Cool News has some inside info on what went down and I can understand why he would be upset.
The DP on TERMINATOR SALVATION, Shane Hurlbut, is a apparently a light tweaker. He’s a fairly young DP and likes to fiddle with his lights on set during action, which is a big “NO NO” on most productions unless worked out in advance with performers. But apparently Shane was a pretty unrepentant light tweaker.
The scene in question, was a very emotional and tough scene between Christian Bale and Bryce Howard. A scene that required soul bearing and a deep level of immersive concentration. The sort of scene where everyone on set knows not to get in anyone’s eye lines, and…
I enjoy the films Christian Bale are in and I think he is a brilliant actor. There was no need for him to react like that, the director should have made that crystal clear to the DP and have controlled that situation better.
There must be so many emotions running through the DPs head like:
- Shit! Either he is scary as hell or a brilliant actor.
- I hate method actors.
- What the fuck is he talking about? That was just a rehearsal.
- Patience, don’t give him a reason to be suspicious of you.
- I’ll get him back by loading the blanks myself.

A huge thanks goes out to Sal Conig and Justin Reich for helping me program this widget in Flash so I can loop it and make it link back to The Corporate Assassin’s webpage. Something I though would be easy took me quite some time to figure out. Much appreciated fellas.
Thanks…
Not sure I need to thank Brian as much as Lyndsey. He did get to lay on top of her about 5 different times. But he did drive up from Raleigh to participate. Thanks Brian this means a lot. Huge thanks to Lyndsey Bass for allowing us to fulfill a fantasy of many… also for being smothered about 5 times before we got it right. Micah Moore seeing things in a different perspective and sharing it with us. I enjoy our collaborations.
