Who's it going to be? Not me.

Well, I've officially given up on trying to enter the Dream CMO contest. I know that I said in a prior post that I was going to use it as a way to try to recapture the magical feeling of Disney, but real life kind of got in the way.
It's not that I didn't come up with a great idea for the video. (I had a good script written, with an idea for the accompanying visuals.) It's not that I didn't want to do the job. I still think that it would be cool to work for Disney, and this was a really neat way to do that without having to work at their pay scale for an extended period of time. No, it's that reality hit with a clang.
I just came to the conclusion that doing all of this MousePlanet stuff on top of my regular job is putting enough strain on my family, and it wasn't fair to try to do something that would make it even tougher by requiring 4-8 more trips away from them. I'll hold off on my Disney dream for a while.
In the meantime, good luck to everyone else who entered!
You can see all of the entries here.
There are some really good ones, like this guy, and some that not only flubbed the name of Chief Magic Official, but also flubbed several of their lines, like this guy. I guess I feel for the judges that have to look at all of them. That's a lot of videos to look at, and the poorly-lit and poorly-considered ones can be painful to watch.
