Jonathan Hartford has found, and responded to, my whining about the existence of his site!
Hey, my site’s not that bad. NO it really is. That was a project that I had in school years ago and there was never any filler for it. Just the body. I used it to test the site. I have a real site that I have been working on and will be up in December. That movie titled “poopy” was just a way to get a video to my friend. Sorry for having that crap up. I’ve been trying to get a “Under Construction” page up but my server is not working properly. As soon as I can connect to it I will add a link to your site so this won’t happen any more. Cheers
Check it out! Jonathan, you are a class act.
Hey, Gingerbreed (currently in post-production) has a blog now! And there’s a picture of me in their latest entry! That’s nice.
Yeah, I’m going to get a haircut this week.
I just got a rejection letter with the disturbing salutation line “Dear Jonathan Hartford,”
I told a coworker that my website was at “jonathanharford.com”. And he was, like, “Where’s the movie you were telling me about?” and “Why is it so small?”
It turned out that he had blithely travelled to jonathanhartford.com (Subtitle: Bring it on and don’t stop!), a Flash site that is completely empty with the exception of the words
Welcome to Jonathan Hartford’s site. This site is full of movies, pictures, and much more. Check it out and have a good time.
…and a Quicktime video clip (“poopy.mov”) of some dude falling off a motorcycle. (In… Alaska, I guess.)
And I wonder: People misspell my name with a “t” all the time. I invite casting directors and agents to take a look at my headshot and resumé on this website all the time. I am a little worried about the intersection of these two sets. ‘Cause those people… well, they probably think I’m an idiot.
I’ve finally dedicated a page of this site to video. There’s only two things up right now: Trapped! and Charlie Munden. I plan to add much more very soon — I’ll be getting a tape of my MTV2 commercial in the next few days, and some DVDs of student projects in the coming weeks.
It’s surprisingly hard to build a reel. You audition, you perform, you harass to get a copy (that is, if it ever gets edited), and when you finally see it, you realize that (for whatever reason) it’s just not appropriate.
How I did it: I copied the (unencrypted) DVDs to my computers, renamed the largest VOB file so that it ended with “MPG”, and used the impressive
Riva VX Encoder to convert the file to a tiny
FLV. Then I put it along with
Martijn de Visser’s tasty FLV Player on my server and used it to serve the files. All of these tools were gratis!
I started this “blog” mainly to tell the world that my name is in The Onion. See here.
For this, I had to promise Joe Garden my first-born. It was a tough decision, but I think I did the right thing.
This raises my internet-fame level significantly. Soon I will be nearly as internet-famous as my Very Special Lady-Friend, whose image* appears when you search for cleavage in Wikipedia. That’s right, I am acquainted with definitive cleavage. Now I know Wikipedia is editable by any Joe Schmo, but I swear I had nothing to do with this aside from posting the original picture of her on Flickr. Edit: Wikipedia user “Tregoweth” removed this picture from the article on April 19th. I’m gutted.
Anyway, I’m an actor in NYC. A picture of my oversized novelty head:
I do improv with Mingle at The PIT. I can also fix your computer and build you a website.
