Winter WonderLights YouTube Video Contest winner #1

HVBlogger

Go to Winter WonderLights, film it, edit it, post it on YouTube and you just might win an iPod touch. That was the concept, and a good one it was!

Now, after much YouTubing and much work on the part of the many contestants who entered, the judges are ready to name the winners -- four in all. I'm announcing one per day starting...right now!

The Winter WonderLights YouTube contest had a simple premise but a difficult goal: Capture the creativity and excitement of this [...]

Wrapping up Winter Wonderlights

HVBlogger

We open 2009 by saying goodbye to Winter WonderLights at Sunnyside, the newest creation from the Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze team.

It's gone for now, but certainly not forgotten, thanks to the magic of digital imaging. Yes, Virginia, there is a Winter WonderLights YouTube contest, and we'v [...]

Blaze YouTube Video Contest winner #4

BlazeBlogger

It definitely took a bit longer for the judges to pick the winner in the final week of the Blaze YouTube Video Contest. Not only were there a large number of entries, there were a large number of outstanding entries, making it very hard to pick the topmost auteur during the final weekend of Blaze.

Those honors, however, go to Christopher Davis, who took a very cool approach to the contest, turning in a mock movie trailer for the Blaze. He takes home an iPod touch, courtesy of WHUD [...]

Blaze YouTube Video Contest winner #3

Round 3 of the Blaze YouTube Video Contest is in the history books. The judges report this week's competition was the toughest yet, but, after careful deliberation, the honors - and the iPod, courtesy of WHUD Radio - goes to Jerry Stephens.

Congrats to Jerry, who took a somewhat unconventional approach to the task. Those of you who are still working on your videos, get them in by midnight Tuesday (meaning the end o' the evening Tuesday) for a chance to win an iPod touch [...]

Don't forget yer YouTube

BlazeBlogger

The judges are in the midst of doing their thing, carefully choosing who has earned an iPod touch from this week's Blaze YouTube Video Contest, the THIRD given away courtesy of those Halloween-loving ghouls over at WHUD. I'm told picking a winner in this week's contest is shaping up to be the toughest choice yet.

But next week's contest - the fourth and final - should be interesting as well, as there are already entries submitted, and the deadline isn't until T [...]

Blaze YouTube Video Contest winner #2

Ding, ding, ding, ding...Round 2 of the Blaze YouTube Video Contest is ova! The judges have spoken (in a manner of speaking) and we have another winner.

Jerry Crisci is quite the auteur. Not only did he craft a nifty little video of the Blaze, he crafted a nifty little original soundtrack for it, too!

For his efforts, he takes home (well, not exactly "takes home," since this isn't a game show and he's already home. Or, maybe he's not home but you k [...]

Got video? Then you CAN iPod touch this

BlazeBlogger

I don't hide the fact that I love pumpkins. Or that I love carved pumpins. And that, specifically, I'm in love with the carved pumpkins at The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze. I mean, my blog posts dating back to July 07 offer more than enough evidence for this.

Now, I've oft been accused of having a one-track [...]

Your faithful HVBLogger was on the scene at Van Cortlandt Manor yesterday and shot this video of Dikki Ellis, king of the slack rope walkers (and a pretty good comedian/magician, too).

Yes, Dikki will be there today for those of you who still haven't made it to Animals & Acrobats.

Scary stuff out on DVD

HVBlogger

The classic tale of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow continues to inspire creative types nearly 200 years since Washington Irving penned it. Now, the latest film to pay horror homage is released on DVD today by First Look Studios. Entitled Headless Horseman (obviously these folks wanted to cut right to the chase, literally), it debuted in theaters last October.

This film follows seven youngsters who end up in a mysterious town on Halloween night, only to discover, yes you guessed i [...]

Ken Sargeant is a Croton-based videographer and HHV fan. Van Cortlandt Manor is a Croton historical site - and its staff is a big fan of Ken!

Van Cortlandt Manor offers limited enrollment open-hearth cooking workshops throughout the year, where you help p [...]

The talented winning videographer will be receiving a 42-inch flat screen TV, high def DVD player and a bunch of DVDs, courtesy of K104.7.
