NECROSIS

It’s a Cold Day in Hell!

LOS ANGELES, CA – A camping trip from Hell starts as a freak blizzard strands a group of friends… and the cannibalistic ghosts of the Donner party in this frightening and supernatural horror film. Necrosis brings many of the top horror actors together for the first time in one astonishing fun horror film! Starring James Kyson Lee(NBC’s Heroes), 80’s pop icon Tiffany (in her first starring role), George Stults (7th Heaven), Penny Drake(Zombie Strippers), Danielle De Luca (Naked Fear), and Robert Michael Ryan (CBS’ How I Met Your Mother). Including appearances by Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes) and Mickey Jones (Vacation, Penny Dreadful).

Synopsis:
Six friends arrive at a secluded cabin to enjoy a long weekend in the snow. Little do they know that their vacation spot is located on the site of the infamous Donner Party Massacre – a tragic event in 1846 when a group of snow bound settlers devolved into madness and turned on each other in a cannibalistic frenzy. When an unexpected snowstorm hits, the cursed ghosts of slain Donner Party are resurrected, determined to exact their revenge. Are these true demonic entities or is ‘cabin fever’ bringing out fears and paranoia, causing friends to turn against each other as reality deteriorates around them?

JUST BE.

In the summer of 2009, BRINKMEDIA hopped over to Holland to shoot several promotional spots for The Netherlands Board Of Tourism & Conventions.

In one action-packed week, our crew went to over 100 locations throughout Amsterdam and Rotterdam, all in a tiny Euro Van with a built RED ONE Camera, Magliner and a full set of Primes.

Back home, the team went into post-production and edited two spots – one for the recreational tourist, and the other focusing on the international business travel.

The results, included below, speak for themselves.

Brink’s Latest Music Video Production

Corazón De La Realidad – Amparo Sanchez from Brink Media on Vimeo.

Sure, we’re incredible programmers, but did you know Brink also specializes in video production? Check out our latest project, a music video filmed in 2009 in collaboration with Amparo Sanchez and Calexico.

Corazón de la Realidad is the first single off of Tucson-Habana, Amparo Sanchez’s solo album in collaboration with Calexico’s Joey Burns. The video features faded, dusty snapshots of the American Southwest and landscapes of the Mexican Tojalabal. Magnificent trumpet playing by Jacob Valenzuela adds to the video’s melancholic beauty.

BrinkMedia Gets Inside Healthcare

BrinkMedia’s in the press!

Our redesign of Casa Grande Regional Medical Center’s website is highlighted in Inside Healthcare’s March/April 2010 issue. BrinkMedia’s total rebuild of CGRMC’s site included a user-friendly interface and a custom Content Management System which allows hospital admins to control virtually all elements of the site for up-to-date content. Since the site now acts as the primary resource for current information, it reduces the number of inquiries the hospital handles via phone and email.

Take a look at Casa Grande Regional Medical Center’s new website at casagrandehospital.com.

Cross Domain Scripting via Proxy

While working on the recently launched Desert Living Today, a constantly-refreshed tip sheet covering everything cool and newsworthy from around the Phoenix Valley, I ran into a problem.

The client wanted to include a widget that allowed users to sign up for their sister-site, Scoop Factory. Unfortunately the script that handles sign ups at Scoop Factory required POST requests. Using a post request from within DLT would have resulted in an awkward redirect and we didn’t want to send users from the page. Another option could have been using an iframe with the signup form inside, but the POST result would still be uncontrollable.

The perfect solution would be to use AJAX to send the POST request, but unfortunately sending ajax to another domain is forbidden because of the security vulnerability. Once HTML5 is here we will be allowed do this but I needed a solution today.

I found my solution in Ben Alman’s aptly named Simple PHP Proxy. All that is needed is an AJAX POST request to the proxy script passed the url of the external form via a GET variable. Simple.

Checkout the results at Desert Living Today 2/3 the way down the page. Put your email in the box and click “Sign Up” and your email is sent across the internet to Scoop Factory via the magic of Cross Domain Scripting.

Magical, Revolutionary, Vanilla.

Since its unveiling, we’ve all known it to be a large iPod touch with little to no added functionality to make it a groundbreaking device. It’s hard for us “tech-types” to really be into something that’s just a larger version of what we’ve already got in our pocket. But, it’s not something to overlook just because it does not posses the power which we geeks crave.

The New Super Awesomeness

Many years ago, even before the Internet, I noticed the word “amazing” showing up a bit too often in my own prose. Not only in my written prose, in the words that I spoke every day to my friends. That band was “amazing”, it was “so amazing” to see the pigeons in the park, amazing things were happening all the time.

Advertising at the time seemed to pick up on this as well. Tide brought “amazing” results that you had to see for yourself when you washed your clothes. Over time, the word faded from our vocabularies like a pair of over washed blue jeans. When was the last time something was really amazing?

Lately though, if you take just a small step back from the twenty somethings gathered at the organic snack dispenser, you’ll start to hear a cascade of awesomeness. Everything is “super awesome”, from the party everyone went to last night that you weren’t invited to, to the latest iPhone app making the rounds.

And in a bold fashion that I find particularly annoying, people are starting to refer to themselves, their actions and their cohorts as awesome, as in “We are so ****ing awesome, check us out”, or even , “I’m so awesome”. When you start hearing that more than once a day from the same group of people, talented, engaging people even, you begin to wonder if you are missing out on some secret code, some new way of conveying, well… awesomeness itself.

But is saying it being it? These millennials can say anything, even things that don’t make any sense.

The really troubling thing is that advertisers and PR peoples have now picked up on it, and trust me, “awesome” is the type of word they will bludgeon to death. I just received a newsletter (that I opted into from an agency that I once respected) that made my jaw drop! It thanked me for joining their “awesome” newsletter. And later on it basically said I should trust these people with my marketing because they had a “super awesome” team ready to go. Wow! I will, totally….
