PokerStars Million Dollar Challenge Audition Video

As previously mentioned, I won an opportunity to submit an audition video for the PokerStars.net Million Dollar Challenge. The video must to include two poker buddies and be posted on YouTube.com:

"No buddies, no show!" ... "Once on youtube, a team represented by PokerStars and the studio will carefully go through each submitted movie and find the ones we feel are the best to go forward to the show. So be creative, use your imagination – get lost in the movie experience! After all, this could be worth a million."

I looked on YouTube.com to research what others had done for inspiration. The videos that I saw ranged from boring to artistic and serious to corny. Upon my review, I decided that I wanted to keep with the simple theme of telling my story. One set back, however, is that I don't own a video camera nor have very many media editing software programs. So, after much thought, I used my cellphone, still photos and Picasa to create a video/slide show. While I'm certain it is not the most creative of the audition videos, I hope it will make an impact.
