Posting

We have a rather odd system some say, but it makes sense to us.

If you upload a (quicktime) commercial you have a whole bunch of topics to choose from - they might look ornery but they do make sense. Telecoms and dotcoms, drinks, food and eating places - even sway/pro-bono and spec work have their own categories here. Pick one. The only thing that never ever goes here are embedded ads from third party sites. (read: youtube). This part is for our commercial archive only.

So you have older commercials on your reel that should be included in the archive? Great!

You could email them to us - post them yourself - or (since it's likely that you only have these ads on tape) enlist our help in digitizing the commercials for you. Simply make a copy of your reel and snailmail it to either address below.

In North America, send your work/reels (in one of the following formats: NTSC 1/2" (VHS) or 3/4" tape, DVD (unprotected, Region 1 - US/Canada), or as raw, uncompressed DV files on CD-R or DVD-R) and handy credits/tidbits to:

Easy-peasy!

1 - Log in.
2 - Click on "post something!"
3 _ Choose "forum" or "story" (that's the front page)
4 - Type away!

By default every members posting box is in "rich text" that is, with the HTML helper "tinyMCE" added. If you click on the buttons at the bottom of the box you'll get help bolding, linking and even adding images to your post - works a lot like word which I'm sure most people are familiar with.

If you're done work worthy of being included in the commercial archive, brand-spankin' new or not-so-brand-spankin' new, send it on in and we'll add it to the collection.

Just be sure to include creative credits, year and country of release, and any interesting tidbits or trivia to add to the mix.

There's no fee (although you can donate to the bandwidth/equipment fund if you so choose), so just take care of the snail mail shipping and there ya go. Or you can send stuff in electronically via email to the hostmaster.

In North America, send your NTSC 3/4" or 1/2" (VHS) reels to:
