Why? What?

Hello! I’m 22 years old, I live in Montreal, Canada and I'm a filmmaker... well, at least I consider myself one!

So you made it to my blog and now are curious what is it all about? I’ll explain!Since my childhood, I've been amazed my motion pictures... Let it be a TV Show, Musical, Film even a TV Ad - I was always amazed by it.

When I turned 17, my mom bought me a cheap used Sony Handy cam. It is a so-so camcorder for home videos, but doesn't matter how much I tried, I could never get even a half-decent quality out of it... And believe me, I wanted to. However, I starting filming all I could film, making little video clips, trying to replicate all the angles and shots used by "the TV people". Trying to catch those Almodovar-Tarantino-Rodrigues-like shots.I am still walking around with that camera.

As time was passing by, I was thinking of serious projects. At this exact moment, I have a great script for a dramatic short film, and an interesting documentary project. Only I cannot film it with my old camera. It just would not work out. The handy cam is working worst and worst by day; it lacks basic features like focus, white balance, microphone... etc.

Now let's get closer to my problem. I work 40h/week for a salary of 8.50$/hour.It pays my apartment with all the fees related, my groceries and my clothes. THAT is ALL !...but every day, after work I pass by this big electronics store and can't stop looking and drooling over this semi-pro video camera, the canon xl h1... It has been my biggest dream since it came out on the market. There is one BIG issue though.... the cost; 9000$... I will never have that kind of money.

So I registered a website, http://www.givemeyourpenny.com/ this website only has Ads on it and every time someone clicks on an ad - I get a penny!

Now to the point;
If 900 000 people go to this site and click on ANY of the ads, I will have the money to buy the camera! This is where I need your help... It takes less then 5 seconds. 900 000 people go tohttp://www.givemeyourpenny.com/, click on one of the ads, then close it and my dream will come true.

I am not asking you to send me money, sign up for anything or spend hours doing something for me, not even minutes... just couple of seconds.
Most of Internet users browse different sites for hours - I am asking you for ONLY couple of seconds.

I truly hope people are still warm-hearted and wouldn't mind helping me out.
I will keep this blog updates with the number of clicks, I will try to do it on daily basis.

Thank You,

Alex.
