Tim Burton’s Card Flourishing Competition at .thecuso
Posted on: April 4, 2010
Hey guys, I got six decks of Tim Burton playing cards in the MoMA museum in New York. I thought I could give them away in a little contest…
But I want to keep a couple of them for me so I’m going to giveaway 4 decks and $20 via paypal so you can buy a few more. Sounds good?
All you have to do is make a card flourishing / xcm video with a Tim Burton feel. Can be the editing, your clothes, the flourishes you use… It’s up to you, but you have to give it that special Tim Burton style.
For those of you that don’t know who the guy is…
Timothy William “Tim” Burton (born August 25, 1958) is an American film director and producer who specializes in dark and quirky-themed films such as Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Christmas, but has also produced cinema blockbusters, including Batman, Batman Returns, Sleepy Hollow, Planet of the Apes, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Alice in Wonderland.
This is not a promo or anything, just want to give you guys something for free from my trip to NY, and hey, you rarely get payed directly for making a video so work you ass off and put the youtube link down here on the comment’s section.
Deadline is Sunday, April 11.
You have a whole week.
I might post photos and videos of my trip to NYC on my twitter and facebook so go stalk me there if you want.
If you have any questions, leave a comment.
GOOD LUCK!

I think it’s very gracious of you to hold this contest. I’ll try to participate. Quick question, are there going to be 4 winners each with 1 deck or 1 winner gets 4 decks?

Damn…well everything is going to take longer than I thought. I guess I got to drop out of the race. Next time though.
Dream on,

Unfortunately I had no time to film a whole neu video. Luckily I had a Photoshoot with a lokal artist last month that matches the Tim Burton style. So I decided to take the Pics (with permission of the artist) and put it into a little “picture-story-video”…
No, I’m not gay and I’m not a transvestite. The make up and clothing were part of the art- concept to create a disturbing and surreal feeing.
It’s not perfect, but I hope you guys like it…
Have fun!

Having major issues with audio. If the audio swap doesn’t work on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00oJ7Ym20bA you can see it here with the original sound. http://vimeo.com/10859724 but the quality is not as good and I think we actually ended up liking the second choice music better.
