Annie Commercial!!

Image
Okay!! Yes, I was ill today!! BUT, I did get my niece, Molly to get an Utterz and got them both to do a quasi commercial!! it was an idea we can up with at dinner and decided to do it! :) I thought it turned out really cute! Revver has to review them, so Maggie put it on her mySpace! I'll use that for now!! Apparently Revver won't be reviewing anything until after the New Year! Which is cool! They need a holiday too! Credits: Molly Minter - actress Maggie Minter - voice over artist/script writer Annie Tyler - doggie actress Karmyn Tyler - producer/videographer/editor Diane Minter & Sue Tyler - moral support! Music from Mac iLife Revver Update! They finally got it on! Not sure I like the quality! They didn't do it wide screen! my commercial!!!! =) Add to My Profile | More Videos

Video Blog 3 - SOUND CHECK!!

Image
*Amendment! The mp4 was SO much better synced that I switched it on the blog!! But here's what I wrote: Once I did this I realized that I could capture with my camera and selecting my Pro mic into Sony Vegas automatically......so NO SYNCING! Phew! Yes, one of my 'dork,' moments, but I learned!! :) PLUS I've uploaded an mp4 too!! The sync with the sound just wasn't working!! ARG!! Check the mp4 to see if it's better!! May leave both up! The other one is called: Sound Check - mp4. As soon as it loads it should be good to go! Click here to find it: http://revver.com/u/karmyntyler/ Please fill out the poll! THANK YOU GUYS & GALS!

Everyone has really liked what I did for Steve Webb on his " Why Christmas Podcast ," so I thought I'd let you have a listen. The video is VERY simplistic.....for a reason! I hope you enjoy my gift to you!

Mike Huckabee? Why DO they love him?

Yep, I know him! He's a good guy! Adam Curry mentioned him! Even if he (Adam) thinks that Huck may be (well.....is) up for media slaughter! But, I DO like him! That I WILL say!! :) ;)  He's the real-deal! http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1692057,00.html?imw=Y My aunt gave me this article!

Variety reports: Stirke KILLING Latenight TV!

Image
Yep, this will be interesting! IMHO :) We watch shows out of habit! Ya get used to something (because of the stars in the show or concept of) and 'come rain or shine' you watch it unless it gets WAY out there and stupid! Case with me, I LOVED the X-files and I followed it for years, even through the crazy Titanic-type episode, but I finally had to say nix and started watching something else...don't even remember what! I (IMHO yet again) think that if one finds an alternative the odds of us coming back to their "old" show depends on the length of it's absence, unless there is a date scheduled for it's return (anticipation) and the quality of the program after the absence (and that one's up for debate!) But, here's the article that got me going saying...yep it's gonna start rumbling! http://www.variety.com/VR1117977292.html

Oops!! Miss California who??

Karmyn's 1st Official Video Blog!

Image
Okay! My first video blog is up!! Take a look! here are some links to stuff I talk about: Karmyn Kast Zack 'the Mothman' Daggy Ed Ovett - Ed's Mixed Bag Pod 5 And BTW - Revver doesn't like my Quicktime made from my Mac! So I had to change it to an mp4 because Quicktime can make it hiccup and not sync the sound correctly!! ARG!! Ah, well, now I know & so do YOU! And THANK YOU Zack for telling me about VisualHub! It's saving my butt!!

Karmyn Kast 22 is UP!!! Oops! I mean KarmKast 21!!! (Thank you Neil!)

Okay boys & girls!! KarmKast 21 is...OMG up!!! I tried to make sense of the SAG New Media Agreement and any questions are welcome!! Just ask right here and I will get you all the help I can!!

I'm wanting to get some more podvideo on the sites and would love some feed back on that as well! let me know!! Got some cool links that I made for easier access too!! Man, I was telling Steve Webb how time consuming it is, but SO MUCH fun and EXTREMELY fulfilling!! He agreed! Here they are:   This last one was fun because I'm getting the hang of Image Ready! Not great at it, but just enough to make me dangerous!! ARG!! SHOUT OUT to mom for doing the show notes!! I love you mom!! And apologies to Ed Ovett and Zack 'the Mothman' Daggy! I just couldn't fit it in!  The 'kast' was an hour!!! NO one needs to hear me that much!! ARG!!!

SAG New Media Agreements!!!

I'm hopefully going to get a podcast out tomorrow or Wednesday sometime about the MOST awesome meeting I attended tonight on Dramatic Web Content!! (i.e. Webisodes, Mobicasts, Animation of the dramatic, theatrical kind....) Bottom line is this: 1) Yes, SAG does cover web-media and new media (mobicasts)!! 2) No, you don't have to pay anything! Just treat your actors with respect under simple guidelines....like if it's going to be a 6 hour session...feed them!! 3) And YES, YES, YES, it is EASY (& a quick turn around) to do a SAG agreement!! REPEAT - it's SIMPLE to do and you will have a pool of FANTASTIC PROFESSIONAL actors to be in your web or mobi-content! You (SAG members & Indie producers!!) have been LIED to you!! SAG wants to help!!! Just make the phone call!!!! More to come!!!! www.karmynkast.net

STRIKE!

So it begins! http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/ Excerpt: 'What's the biggest issue? Internet and New Media What are we asking for in Internet and New Media? Two things: 1. Residuals for reuse of content (like replaying tv shows) on the internet. We're asking for residuals of 2.5% of revenue -- that means for every dollar they get paid, we'd get 2 and a half cents. It's a flat percentage, so if they're right and they're never ever going to make a penny, well then, we won't either. No harm, no foul. Since 2.5% is our starting point, in any normal negotiation we'd end up somewhere between what they want to pay (.3%) and what we're asking for (2.5%). I'd guess 1 to 1.5 %. 2. Coverage and protections for original content (new stuff we create for the internet.) We're asking for basic protections so that when we write original stuff for the internet, we have rights -- health and pension, minimum amounts, credits and separated rights (so if

Passion Fruit of the South!!

Since I've been here, I've started to miss things I can't get here! And of ALL things? Muscadines!! I found some juice here at the health food store and it's AWESOME!!!! here's bit of science to back up my love for this stuff!! The juices & wines are AMAZING! Of course, it may be an acquired taste! This was taken from the  health link at www.muscadine.com : Muscadine Grapes--New Health Food? Scientists with ARS and Mississippi State University have found significant amounts of resveratrol in the skin, pulp, and seeds of muscadine grapes. Resveratrol is the compound in French wines said to lower cholesterol and the risk of coronary heart disease. In the Southeast, muscadines are grown to make juice. But the researchers are now using muscadine waste from juice processing to make products like muffins, jams and granola cereal. One-half serving (two ounces) of unfiltered muscadine juice, one serving of muscadine jam, one medium muscadine muffin, or one-tenth serving

An AMAZING update!

Image
Wow, I would have blogged before now, but I’ve been a bit in shock….good shock!    The amazing news? I have a Commercial Agent!! YEAH!! I’ve VERY excited!! I can’t even begin!! I’m so excited about ‘going out’ and having an AGENT again! I wasn’t sure how I was received at the interview….we were all in a group and talked about ourselves and read in front of each other while the agents looked on! Of course since they are Commercial/Print we read sides (short bit of a script) from a Commercial. I read it, and then….since I was from Texas ….was asked for me to read it in my East Texan accent! I obliged and everyone laughed!! It was funny too, this guys beside me was like, “That’s SO great!” I thought to myself…..”Well, I’m from Texas (East Texas and Southwest Arkansas) so I should be able to have a heck of an accent in my pocket just a-waitin’ to use!” Oye!! He was gorgeous though……model…..yeah!  Anyway, talk about a miracle! There are people out here who don’t have an agent period! Gra
