I made the above using Ulead VideoStudio 11Plus which I had purchased just yesterday (May 31, 2008).

After my buddy and I created copies of the "1 Second Film" poster and made copies of the release form (We figured we should be on the safe side), we went to downtown Charleston during a Spoleto festival in hazy weather. We weren't sure if it would rain or not.

Anyway, it was our first filming project of any kind. Out of several requests, we recorded seven perfect moments. It would have been eight, however, the significant other expressed concern considering our complete lack of experience and suspected we were up to something, therefore the release form was ripped and the perfect moment was recorded over. In situations like that, we have no choice: We live with what we have and move on.

A friend of mine and myself will go around Charleston on the weekend of May 24th to help promote the "1 Second Film" and hopefully reel in some more producers!

Our "Question to the people" will mirror that from the website: "What is your perfect moment?"

Wish us luck!

I will tinker with Paypal to see if I can make a weekly donation of one dollar.

I challenge others to do the same.

I have absolutely no reason to be an anonymous donor, however, I feel I've been given a chance to do something in the spirit of fun. And why not?

So I'll explain why I choose the name...first, I wanted something outrageous enough that I can look at the credits and say, "Hey, that's me!".

It goes beyond that. I was actually born and raised in Saskatchewan. Even though I don't live there now, I still carry her in my heart. It may not be Florida, Hawaii or Niagara Falls, but if you get a chance, go for a visit. She is a fantastic province.

The first name Barry and the last name Watson are borrowed from two people that I remember from my days at the University. Seymour...well, that's a given: Simpsons...Seymour Skinner.
