Cosplay USA

Someone passed me this link today:

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/31/go-team-cosplay-gamefly-holding-open-casting-for-next-commercia/

It’s just what it says, they’re casting a cosplayer to star in the next commercial. To participate you can go to a casting call in 3 major US cities or submit a 45-sec video expressing why they like GameFly and why the character they cosplay is their favorite.

At this time it seems to be lacking some details. The venue for online submission will open late August and fans will vote their favorite. No information is provided on whether or not the online videos and live casting compete at the same level which is public favor.

Also, no information is provided on the compensation provided for making a jackass out of yourself on national TV(?). Perhaps they think the honor of being on TV is enough. I guess it depends on how it is done. I just hope it is a sincere advertisement and that it is done well by whoever they select.

I might consider making a video; I have a few ideas. I’m just horribly angry at youtube right now. It won’t allow my videos to upload so I guess what good would it do to make a video. I need a new web video host. *adds to the list*
