Roger's Nature Walk on YouTube (channel BearGhetti): "There is something that I have come to truly admire about Roger is his love for nature. I haven't met anyone else like him who is able to find the miracle in things that most people consider common. A simple nature walk becomes a glimpse into paradise".

This year I (Forrest - profile) dabbled into movie making. I have been working with Roger (galleries - profile) as well as a few others and what I've come to realize is I now fully appreciate the amount of work that goes into making a movie.

The hardest part for me is the editing. Writing the story and filming it is of course a lot of work, but it's the editing ~ sitting down and spending the whole day streaming the movie together into a coherent whole. I could work 12 hours on it and be lucky if I've completed a minute... or two (miracles of miracles). Of course I've never taken courses on movie making so it's a lot of learning, still... I think 'editor' should be the final credit seen at the end of a movie, not 'director'.

This section of Roger walking in the woods is a segment to a larger project. I am trying to work on this project as much as I can, but it's just trying to find the time. My goal for '09 is to work as much as I can and with a wing and a prayer, complete something for production.

Please let me know what you think of this 5 minute short of Roger in the woods. I think Roger has such a beautiful innocence about him that it instantly appears on camera.

This event took place back at the end of August and I've already given it extensive coverage, however I just received a CD in the mail by one of the photographers who was at the event, and his photos are just brilliant that I decided to share them with you.

On August 30th there was the Monsieur Bear Montréal contest at the Woof Bar. My partner Roger (galleries - profile) came in runner up. I made a video of the event (YouTube profile). For today's update, Ryan Lee (website) was there for Fugue Magazine and took excellent shots. Ryan sure has a great eye for capturing the best in a man. See these 151 photos here.

We here at the TubeBear factory have come out with our very own commercial ad. It's cute, simple, and stars my incredibly handsome and huggable partner Roger (gallery - profile). Click the video below or you can see it here from our YouTube page BearGhetti (make sure to subscribe).

Our ad is part of our Google campaign. We're really been working quite hard in getting TubeBear to becoming the #1 Bear site. And the whole point of this ad is to make you cute guys aware of our incredible features, such as RIMs (Recorded Instant Messages) - instead of typing messages like you do with all the other Bear sites, here you can use your webcam and you can send a video message... which is, I would say, 10 to the power of 'n' more fun than an old typed message (to learn how to RIM, visit my profile page - Forrest - and from my list of videos, check out 'How to RIM').

Our next commercial will be able LiveStreaming. We are having our first LiveStreaming party on Monday August 25th (article) so make sure to be here armed with your webcam. We are hoping to see as many people login as possible. It should be a lot of fun.
