  1. You, sir, absolutely rock.

  2. But did you know that since you used the Abokey Flush player to stream this file, it is now theirs?

    hehe; just kidding. Great work, Phil! Good to see you working in Moviestorm.

  3. Very cool! After seeing “Morning…” and now this, I want to give Moviestorm a second chance. I had troubles getting it to work during the beta but that may not be a problem anymore. Congratulations on a movie that’s “yours.” I’m thinking a lot of people are going to start taking this route in the next few years.

    I have to say, that’s pretty good quality for an embedded player. It loaded really quickly for me too.

  4. Excellent work Phil. Doubly fun for me, as I hate just about everything Adobe makes. ;)

  5. I’m on it. Watching it later tonight after work. Yay! A new Phil Rice film!

  6. I was worried these were getting a bit repetitive (perhaps intended/ironic given the title), but the ‘58008′ bit in number four cracked me up. Nice work.

  7. It seems 5/6 are not in the XML playlist for the flash player

  8. D’oh! Of all the things to miss! Fixed now, thanks Elf.

  10. What a great series, Phil. I think the lap dance one is my favorite. I like how you put this series together; both the tech and the content are not only excellent, but the fact that you are making an important point about licenses and copyright in a humorous fashion, makes the series even more important. I hope a ton of people watch this series. I wonder if you are preaching to the converted though…Good luck!

  11. Great series; love the message you bring with it. The 5th and 6th ones I think were the best, but it felt like it took a bit to get there.* I LOVE the look; the blending off the backgrounds on the early parts looks tremendous.

    Nice job, and congrats on owning it!

    *Yeah, I know, coming from the guy who beats a joke into several layers of the earth’s crust, I shouldn’t talk. It’s probably just that I watched them all back to back; I think they would be more effective split up. Just MODO. ;)

  12. You are a genius. Great work. We are just starting to use MovieStorm and you are a huge inspiration.
