Back to Journal  « Submission 273 | Trade Up - Our Firefox Commercial | Rejection 174 - WotF » Trade Up - Our Firefox Commercial June 1, 2006 The folks at Mozilla finally posted our commercial for the Firefox web browser: Trade Up.  Directed by Drew Buchanan. Shot by Steve Milligan (who talks about the project here). Creative Commons music by Remi. Written by Alex Wilson. Actors: Megan Randall, Justin Meckes, and Alex. I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out, which says a lot because I wrote it as a joke and initially thought it was too offensive to shoot. And a part of me is still looking forward to finding someone else who is offended by it, just so I can hear Steve say: "That's okay. So is the writer." Filed under Acting, Journal, News  
Comments: Discuss this entry at LiveJournalWow, congratulations! :) Posted by: Shveta at June 1, 2006 12:34 AM 
Thanks, Shveta. It's actually not a big deal. They put up all the entries and we found out we didn't win a month ago: http://www.alexwilson.com/projects/journal/rejection_172.php It seems to be well received by its first few viewers, though. Last I checked it was among the top ten "highest rated," but the others on the list have tens of thousands of ratings to our paltry half-dozen or so. A lot of room to fall.

I was greatly entertained by that little film, both by the writing and by your performance and the performance of the lovely F. Fox. Very fun little commercial. Posted by: Ted at June 1, 2006 9:50 AM
