With the Ottawa International Film Festival taking place this weekend, we thought we would post a special treat from this Friday’s music video competition. Local band The Weathermakers teamed up with Darcy Lyle Productions to create this video for Stand Up in an Empty Room.

The Ottawa International Film Festival is hosting the Music Video Challenge this Friday, from 6:30 to 9:30pm at Lieutenant’s Pump on Elgin St. Tickets are $10 for the night or $25 for the full festival. More information’s available online at www.oiff.ca.

“Not just a muffin with icing”: Cupcakes conquer Ottawa

Cupcakes: they’ve taken Ottawa by a storm. Critics and supporters alike have been seen to swoon after just one bite. They’ve been referred to as “the latest and greatest fad to hit the baking world since sliced bread,” “a gift from the gods,” and “cakes - but tiny!”

In essence, cupcakes are a personal, not-for-sharing decadence.

Curious about this tiny trend, local filmmakers from Dawghaus Studios sought out the secrets behind each cupcake lovingly created in our capital city. Bakers from Isobel’s, L’Oven and Auntie Loo’s, along with Ian Capstick (one of the organizers behind Capital Cupcake Camp), give you the scoop - or rather, the bite - on these tasty treats.

These webisodes are intended to carry the theatre experience into the online space - adding a little something-something to your Internet.

The Dawghaus Eats my Shorts

Last night, the Eat My Shorts film festival took place at the Lieutenant’s Pump. Organized by the fine folks at Boxcart Film Festival, the night featured several 5-15 minutes short videos that were scripted, filmed and finished all within 72 hours by Ottawa film buffs and aspiring filmmakers. That wasn’t even all! Directors had to incorporate a number of criteria into each film, including a Back to the Future reference, shawarma, jumping jacks and other craziness.

Apartment613 video contributors Dawghaus Studios were among the participants. Unfortunately, they got their entry in a couple of hours late, meaning that they were not eligible for the $250 Grand Prize, although they did get to show their video at the Pump last night. I was so impressed with the high quality editing, the interesting script and the seamless incorporation of the crazy criteria that I thought 28-88 deserved a second showing.
