Blarg.  February sucks.  I live in Illinois so February always feels like a wasted month.  The snow and the cold and the ice and the slush turn everything into a big hassle.  I’ve pretty much just been hiding out all year and I haven’t filmed anything in weeks.  But fortunately, March is just a few days away.  Ah yes, my contempt for February is matched only by my adoration of March.  In March, the snow starts to melt, the sky turns blue, the beer turns green and the Shamrock Shake is once again available for a limited time only.  Spring is that time when a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of winning money in video contests.  I’m already on the lookout for good contests that I can enter once the weather starts to warm up.  My goal for 2013 is to do one really good video every few weeks and stop doing so many half-assed projects.  If you too are interested in whole-assing it this year you should probably check out Mofilm’s new Hall of Fame.  The curators of the hall (ok, it’s really just a page on a website) have collected the best and most successful Mofilm winners and posted them all in one place.  There’s some really amazing work on display and watching all of these amazing videos is a great way to psych yourself before your next writing session. Here are a few of my favorites:

Now that you know where the bar is, you’ll have a better shot at jumping over it. Oh by the way, Coke was so pleased with that last video that they aired it on Valentine’s Day during American Idol.  More on that story here.
