So what we've been doing most recently is working with the site XLNTAds.com. XLNTAds is a site that connects companies looking to advertise products or services to filmmakers. John and I are a few of these humble creators. Right now they've got a bunch of assignments and the ones we're pulling for are Bud Light and Nestlé's 100 Grand. Once we're done with our Bud Light spot we'll probably start working on a couple Proquo submissions.
Check 'em out, and be our competition—there's a lot of money at stake.
Oh yeah, their blog is pretty cool too. They update it with a lot of "creative inspiration" which is pretty great.

What is Whaling Ship Studios?
Whaling Ship Studios is how filmmakers get their start. We are two 19-year-old dudes, one in the Dramatic Writing program at NYU and one currently stuck in Ohio trying to get into the Film program at NYU. We are getting our feet off the ground the only way we know how to: making films. One of the purposes of this blog is to document our beginnings and help other budding film makers get an idea of how to start. We'll of course post about what we're up to—current projects, scripts, and other dailies—and also link you guys to everything we know—Tutorials, Contests, or other cool stuff. Feedback is awesome, and of course if anyone has anything they'd like to link us to, that'd be appreciated. With all that said, I've been spending too much time blogging and need to get back to compositing.
