Well, their advertising company did, anyway.
Yeah, yeah yeah...I know I'll be probably be yanked to Retardo Land, but...
A couple of weeks ago I applied for the "next 'The Sims 2' global advertising campaign" They're looking for filmmakers and storytellers to put a team together. Yesterday was the deadline, and I got this in my email:
Hello,
I work for The Sims advertising agency, Wieden + Kennedy. (
www.wk.com).
We love your movies and feel that you would be a great addition to our team.
We're now in the end stages of determining our finalist. Just wondering
if you will be available to travel out to EA in San Francisco during
the last two weeks of August (18th -30th)for our production?
All expense would be covered. You will also be paid $1,000.00.
Feel free to me know if you have any questions. I'll know more about
the final selections by the end of this week.
In the meantime please feel free to call me.
Thanks so much,
Chris
Wieden + Kennedy

brynne614@fastmail.usHow long have you been playing The Sims: since Day 1
What do you do with the Sims: stories, photos, I have some characters that are pretty well-known across the sims2 forum community, most recently music video-making
Ever killed a Sim and how many: Why?! Who wants to know???
Other examples of work: my website has all the links you need:
www.acuppajoe.netA few of those are also here:
http://www.youtube.com/user/VRevisHow got into Sims films: A friend put the bug in my ear. I was hooked instantly. The videos I do are music videos, catchy, fun stuff, nothing controversial.

Player type from above most like: I'm an experimenter. I play my game differently than most people. I have a central character who has been with me since I got the game a couple of years ago. My game revolves around him, his family, and whatever comical situation I can put them in. Then I take pictures and laugh.
Collaborated with others on film: Nope, but I'd absolutely love to.
"Plays well with others".
Where movies can be seen:
www.acuppajoe.nethttp://www.youtube.com/user/VRevisWhich pet trick would teach pet: I would teach my walrus how to properly cook Alpo.
Sim biggest achievement: My sims are famous. People want Joe's autograph.
Oh, IN the game? Joe Bayfield has knocked Don Lothario out of the Pleasantville King of Romance throne and taken the position, himself. Not only that, he dropped about a million offspring on Don's doorstep to be adopted.
Creation that made people laugh: I do humorous stories. One particulary popular one:
http://brynne14.livejournal.com/7101.html#cutid1Short story: That daggum walrus! I've told him time and time again that his dogfood must be microwaved and NOT toasted. Now I've ruined my best umbrella shielding myself from the projectile flaming dog food pellets flying out of the toaster. Two pounds worth! Silly walrus. My silly, silly walrus.
