Using Sound and Editing to Create a Mood in 'The Gate,' Short Films Can Still Be a Calling Card
I've shared quite a bit of camera information lately, so I thought it was time to come back with another short film. All too often science fiction films rely on certain crutches to tell a story, forgetting that storytelling relies on all of the other aspects of filmmaking technique to succeed. The chilling and gruesome mutations are the main attraction, but the rest of the technique is what keeps The Gate, from Matt Westrup, chilling and powerful through its entirety. There's another reason I'm sharing this short, and that's because it's being turned into a feature film. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the terrible dreams that are sure to come from watching this 8 minute short film:
It's been a little while since I've shared a short (though I guess the M83 music videos could count), but I thought this one in particular was a great lesson in using all of the techniques we have at our disposal as filmmakers. In terms of screenwriting, this is a great example of using a framing device — the debriefing scene — and then filling in the rest of the information with the flashbacks of the events they are discussing. The sound design is distinct and specific, especially the sound of the "monsters" — which of course must be created since they don't exist in real life. If you watch again, you'll notice that specific sounds, like the cup hitting the water cooler, are much louder than they might normally be — putting us on edge and setting us up for the monster to come across the screen a moment later.
The movie could very easily have trailed off and become boring but by cutting back to the monster every so often, it keeps us on edge. Short films are tough to execute — even tougher when they rely on special effects and computer animation. The most important thing to remember, however, is that a good film is a combination of all aspects of filmmaking technique, not just one.
Mike Jones and others have said that the short film is dead (just as I'd finished spending a lot of money on my own short film thesis), and it's only usefulness is as a learning experience, not as a calling card. His argument is that a short film does not necessarily show off your ability to sustain an audience through an entire feature (if feature films are your goal), and the format very often relies on a punchline which does not exist in a longer form. His idea (which I agree with to a large degree) is that a narrative web series is a more valuable calling card because it relies on story arcs and character development as opposed to punchlines (of course there are plenty of web series' that also rely on punchlines – but those are usually of the comedies).
There is still one type of short film that without a doubt is still a calling card: the effects-heavy science fiction short. Archetype, a film from Aaron Sims, is going to become a feature film with Sims directing:
Another effects heavy short film, Ataque de Pánico!, from Fede Álvarez, was so well received (partially because of its miniscule $300 budget) that Fede is directing the Evil Dead remake. Here is that short film below:
Neill Blompkamp got the attention of Hollywood with his short film Alive in Joburg, and was eventually able to direct the feature District 9 based on the same idea:
The short film may not be as relevant as it used to be, but if you want it to be a calling card, you've got a far better chance with an effects-heavy science fiction film. That's not to say that you shouldn't continue making short films — they help you become a better filmmaker — but with the explosion of the internet they are less likely to catch attention and be used as a calling card.

We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!

for better or worse, CGI spectacle is a huge driver of box office. That's why a rubbish film like Skyline is valid as a multiplex product.
john jeffreys on 06.24.12 @ 10:45PM
"story" as objective of cinema is a very 20th century idea. It is more accurate to describe the main objective of a movie to be feelings (expressed through sound, editing, picture, etc), ideas, and perhaps a general thesis on something. narrative died along with modernism.
Joe Marine on 06.25.12 @ 12:42AM
I don't know if we are quite post-narrative yet. The feeling that you give the viewer should certainly be at the top of your list, but as of right now most people are still looking for narratives in the traditional sense – beginning, middle, and end – at least for features. Though I'm interested to hear more of your thoughts on that and any examples you might have.
john jeffreys on 06.25.12 @ 12:53PM
Western culture has pretty much told every possible story and introduced and explored every possible type of fable/lesson/moral, etc. So when we ran out of shit to tell, we started recycling the old and making new things out of things we already made. Warhol's pop art and shows on adult swim are some examples. You can easily notice this type of paradigm shift in visual culture with anything, for example, how the "vintage" look is being used extensively in fashion, music videos, graphic design, or how the 80′s look and "feel" is transferred in a lot of new album covers for artists. We are now at the point where we have a huge box of shit we made, of cultures and identities from the 20th century, and in the 21st century we use all of those cultural things and put them together and fuse them to make new things, new identities, feelings, cultures, films, photos, music, etc.
That being said, in the 20th century we spent about 90 years in moviemaking working on and defining genres, tropes, and visual themes and beat them to death. Now, we use their corpses to make new films, films that are post-narrative, post-20th century, that are made from 20th century things but are there own species. The WHOLE of a post-narrative film is greater than the sum of its PARTS (aspects of our past cultures)
In terms of cinema, Korine's Gummo is probably the best exmaple of post-narrative cinema. There isint a "main character" or any "beats" or objectives, in the traditional Hollywood sense. Instead, it relies on little arcs of characters in the same "universe," or the town in Ohio in which the film takes place in. Instead of focusing on some kind of main conflict or story it focuses on a main THEME, that is, american white trash in a tornado stricken town. Dialogue doesn't really mean anything anymore; instead of it traditionally being one of the chief catalysts of story development, now all it does is accentuate the characters more. What took its place, then is the use of sound, composition, and image.
I'm sorry if i am sounding vague or whatever but this is a loaded ass topic and im doing my best
Joe Marine on 06.29.12 @ 2:23AM
Somehow I missed this comment. Gummo is a good example, but that stuff is still well outside the mainstream. I think narrative in its current form still has a long way to go, but you're right in saying that there will be more and more independent films that eschew standard narrative and instead focus on themes, emotions, and how the images are composed together.
My favorite film actually that was unlike anything that has come before or after it is The Tracey Fragments. While it didn't completely avoid traditional narrative in structure, it's just a whole different ball game in terms of filmmaking form. I actually think playing with those conventions in the near future will be interesting – not necessarily in a completely experimental form, but seeing what can be done when you turn traditional narrative storytelling on its head in a new way.
David Komer on 01.17.13 @ 3:25AM
In my opinion, the essence of any good art- film, painting, writing, music, etc. is where different pieces are unified to express a meaning which requires all of the parts but is greater than all of the parts.
"Story", is just shorthand metaphor for that meaning. Sure there are traditionally successful genres and structures- but let's not confuse recombining and shifting those structures with avoiding the story itself.
Side point- I happen to think that for a 2-hour movie, the traditional structures are time-tested to work well and will tend to be more effective- but that's really a different point. Kindof like why it's easier for me to listen to 2 hours of jazz than heavy metal, though I might prefer 5 minutes of heavy metal to get psyched about something.
Anyway… I don't think any great writier/director would think that "protagnist on a journey who encounters obstacles" with a beginning middle and end is the only way of conveying ideas through film. In fact, I'd say the great movies are great because the directors found ways of making every aspect of the movie more meaningful, poetic color themes in wardrobe and lighting, recurring background elements, genuine facial expressions that say a thousand words, etc. They are well aware of how to use different techniques to convey meaning. Sure it would be interesting to see more experimentation with this in long-form content or as the main thrust. But I would not call that lack of a story- I would call it a strangely told story compared to most commercial content.
Jason on 06.25.12 @ 12:50AM
I recently went to a screening at the Melbourne International Animation Festival and the majority of the shorts were abstract; trying to make you feel something, opposed to just telling a story. And you know what? I was bored out of my mind. When one of the few shorts with a story did play, it was like a breath of fresh air, a real relief. I was like 'yes! please, more of that!'
I hope to god that narrative does not die anytime soon.
I agree with you, too much abstract or pointless short film at festivals or online, I'd love to see more narrative short films, an interesting way of telling is the secret and this doesn't mean it can be personal, a personal way of telling a plot and characters. I'd love to see more short film with less punchline or just that can last more than a few minutes to let me in into the story… let a short story grow like you'll be doing for a feature film, so in that way I think it's the best and that's what I'm working in my projects.
Concerning about the short film I liked it it's very well done, Acting and Visual effects… but I feel the lack of more, I'd love to see more of the story going on… so if we call this like a Calling Card works perfectly, then you need a very good script for producers. Something like this can't be done just for the purpose and joy of making a short film. From my point of view I think a short film should be done just because you have the urge of telling that story, then it can be used eventually as a calling card… or also doing a short film similar in the mood of a feature I've wrote… so my short will not be just a sample but a proper story… as a way for visualizing I prefer visualize and edit Animatic of part of my script and a trailer… by the way, great job!
I do not agree, but certainly there is a tendency towards the old "cinema of attraction" days with all the effects & 3D hassle.
There has always been a more experimental approach to film/video, with less or no focus on narrative structures, but what happens to most people in front of their first few experimental films is a strong statement against your comment. They are mostly very frustrated, confused and looking hard for some kind of narrative.
People still thrive on strong story and emotions.

Swested on 06.25.12 @ 8:31AM
That sounds like a bunch of professorial BS from an undergraduate film seminar.
How many non-narrative driven films of the past 10 years can anyone even name, let alone consider as memorable?
nobody on 06.25.12 @ 10:57AM
To expand on what others have written… Surely any blockbuster where the story serves the set pieces (instead of the other way round) could be considered abstract? Admittedly not in the artistic sense of the word, merely by failing to provide a connect-the-dots narrative that withstands casual analysis.
Maghoxfr on 06.24.12 @ 10:55PM
Fede Álvarez is from my country, Uruguay. I think it's awesome he is directing a film after his shortfilm went viral.
AD Stephens on 06.25.12 @ 6:22PM
I think that is awesome, I think cinema will always benefit from an infusion of different ideas from visionary writers/directors across the globe who have different perspectives of how to tell a story because of how they've lived in their own countries.
Neill Blomkamp did excellently with District 9, it was so different and also the first South African film I've seen. I think that different views of the world from different parts of the world can enrich cinema, like how films like Hardboiled or Infernal Affairs gave a different life to the action genre.
I think there must certainly be more than meets the eye behind the story of Sims getting the opportunity to direct a feature version of this short 'Panic Attack'. I don't claim to have this information, however, I'm merely speculating that he may have the good fortune of a valuable connection somewhere. It would be hard to fathom that anyone just happened upon this After-Effects-laden piece on YouTube and said let's make a deal…
Mar Belle on 06.25.12 @ 10:13AM
I think it's common for people to assume that Fede (Panic Attack) only got the feature gig because of an existing connection / moment of Hollywood madness, but that was far from the first thing he'd made and, in my opinion, he played the 'my short's just blown up' card perfectly by leveraging that attention into face to face meetings.
In his own words: http://www.directorsnotes.com/2010/01/28/dn-ep-154-panic-attack-fede-alvarez/
Galo on 06.25.12 @ 2:13PM
Awesome podcast, very informative
Excuse my previous comment, I confused the two films 'Panic Attack' and 'Archetype'. I see the light now!
Lliam Worthington on 06.25.12 @ 12:21PM
Archetype is very impressive piece of visual realisation and well acted. Certainly succeeded in making me want to see more…
However Alive in Joburg really demonstrates the power of a story idea/concept that when combined with the subversion of a genre can really transcend the usual cliches. Such a brilliant piece of work. Makes me excited to get out there and create. District 9 is definitely one of my all time fav films.
On the subject matter, excellent discussion point Joe, I've had these discussions a few times, as a means of developing technical skills and understanding, short films obviously make a lot of sense and as long as it is possible to make a good one, they will continue to be calling cards. However I'm very much of the view that story telling in long form is a different skill and in my opinion the most valuable one you can develop.
I also believe that some of the other more critical aspects of film making that are quite rarely discussed, such as building and maintaining relationships, leadership, determination and resourcefulness are best learnt/experienced in longer form projects.
Anyhow, great blog (hadn't seen archetype or panic attack before) Thanks very much.
Laurel on 06.25.12 @ 12:57PM
It seems that after Neill Blompkamp's "Alive in Joburg" everybody has to make similar alien invasion effects-laden shorts with hope that they will get the attention of Hollywood too :) But it seems to be working :)
The Gate and Flashing Your Tits
The Gate deserves a strong applause for its effort and execution but it was not very compelling to me. The editing and quick cuts to the ugly beast people things was like a girl flashing her tits during a parade. Its a cheap way to get people to notice you and gain attention. But instead of playing on our lust and sex drive, its playing on our fear and thrill drive.
The worse part was the ending and the horrible bit of propaganda that could have made a big pharma phat cat blush. Buying pharmaceuticals and supplements from non-official sources via the internet = UGLY BEAST PERSON. That was subtle wasn't it. No, that was crap.
I've only produced/directed/wrote/acted/edited, etc. (yes I'm everything!) my web TV series, Day Zero (http://www.dayzerotv.com), but over 10 episodes in season 1 at 20 minutes give or take a few each, it's like I already made a 3 1/2 hour movie! So that's my calling card, since each episode is like a short film. I've already won 2 awards for the pilot, so I view the short film as something totally different and small… even if I probably should create one as a 2nd project, but it's still kinda small.
Osiris on 06.29.12 @ 2:04AM
Small? What does that even mean? I feel like what you posted is what you should keep in your own mind and not actually say to other people.
I'm always very interested to read about stories such as these, as its one I hope I can follow myself. As someone who produces short, zero budget films, on a regular basis, I'm hoping I might hit gold in the same way as many of my peers.
That said, we were recently given a donation by the actor/celebrity Stephen Fry, which we used to fund this gothic fairytale horror film, inspired by Brothers Grimm: https://vimeo.com/44185686
It's our biggest achievement to date, and I hope sets a high bar for what we can go onto achieve in the future, if given a proper budget to work with. Would appreciate your thoughts on it!

Anyone doing the Winterpark (Colorado) Mountain Bike racing series this summer? I'm trying it for the first time starting with the hill climb in two weeks. I'll be the old slow one of the group. Everyone else in the team is racing in the expert level. Team Golden Wheelmen. We even have sponsors: Pizza and Beer. Anyhow, any advice you can give a newby mountain bike racer? www.epicsingletrack.com/default.asp
Joe Friel has some very good books on training. Good luck!
I'll be out there after I finish the Tour Divide, probably the 3rd race and beyond. I race in Expert 25-29 on my singlespeed, in a team kit for "Ride Against the Machine." My wife will likely be at the 2nd race if she's not coming to pick me up from the border. Same kit on a silver 29er geared or black 29er singlespeed racing expert as well. Advice? Have fun and race hard. If you haven't raced much before, you'll figure it out pretty quickly. People always go out too hard, esp in beginner and sport. You want to go out hard but be realistic. ;) I'm happy to answer specific questions if you want too, just email me. I've raced out there on and off since 2001.
Go get 'em, John. Chris gave the best advice, don't go out crazy hard from the start. Since there isn't any singletrack for the Hill Climb (all fire road to the top), getting that early position isn't as important. Better to get into your own LT zone early on and pick off the jackrabbits one by one on the upper slopes of the climb. Do a thorough warmup and don't carry too much water (1 bottle max). And when the pain comes, just laser in on the rear hub of the guy in front of you. Lastly, if you have time after the race and the trails are free of snow, go preview some of sections for the other races in the season. Good luck.
Thanks for the tips... Should be fun. I think!

The northern Indiana cities of South Bend and Fort Wayne have set records for consecutive days in July where the high temperature didn't reach 80 degrees.
The National Weather Service reports South Bend didn't hit 80 for the last nine days of the month. That breaks a record of 8 straight July days without the temperature reaching 80 set twice previously - in 1918 and 1992.
Fort Wayne didn't reach 80 for the final eight days of July. That tied a record set in 1924 and matched in 2004.
Indianapolis, Lafayette and Bloomington also failed to reach 80 the final eight days of July, while Muncie didn't reach that mark for the final five days of July. Temperatures hit 81 in Evansville and Terre Haute on Thursday.

New plans for Saltdean Lido given support
12:10pm Thursday 10th January 2013 in News By Tim Ridgway
A major leisure provider has added its support to a plan to transform the Saltdean Lido into an historic art-deco attraction.
The Argus understands Brighton and Hove City Council, which took back full control of the "at-risk" Grade II* listed building last year, is to recommend handing control of the building to a third party.
It comes as the Saltdean Lido Community Interest Company (CIC), set up by members of the Save Saltdean Lido campaign, revealed its first image of what its plans look like.
The organisation said that, if successful, Waves Leisure Trust, which runs swimming pools in Lewes district, had agreed to take over the running of some of the facilities.
Peter Crowley, managing director of the not-for-profit organisation, said it was "excited" to be involved with the CIC project.
He added: "With our established and experienced team, we will bring resources to support this project and develop its long term sustainable future in partnership with the directors of the CIC."
The council took back full control of the building from Dennis Audley, the holder of a 125-year lease, in June.
Leisure services
Since then, the local authority has been seeing what interest there is from the charity and private sectors to run the premises, which includes an outdoor swimming pool, community meeting space and indoor gym.
However, the council made clear that no decision has yet been taken over the future of the attraction.
Saltdean Lido CIC, which has nearly 400 members, will be holding a public consultation about the future of the building on Saturday, January 12 and Sunday, January 13 in St Nicholas Church Hall in Saltdean Vale, Saltdean from 2pm to 6pm.
Rebecca Crook, chairman of Saltdean Lido CIC, said: "The Saltdean Lido site is on English Heritage's 'At Risk Register' and its future is still not safe.
Share opinion
"Our plans are intended to stimulate debate and to get feedback.
"The weekend is a chance for people to tell us what they would like to see at the site."
Visitors will be able to see its plans, which have been drawn up by Brighton-based Conran and Partners.
These include providing more community space, modernising the pool, expanding the gym and creating a café.
Regular monthly events, such as farmers markets, concerts and sports events, could also be held in its grounds.
The issue will be discussed at the council's policy and resources committee meeting on January 24 in Hove Town Hall at 4pm.
For more details on the CIC plans, visit the website www.saltdeanlido.co.uk.
Talking point: What would you like to see at Saltdean Lido? Do you welcome the plans?

What I DON'T want is for the Council to waste any more of our money on an open-air swimming pool; something that self-evidently isn't wanted by the vast majority of the local population and has struggled commercially since the end of WW2.

1 fresh or frozen turkey, 10-12 lb. average *
4 Tbsp. Frank Davis Poultry Seasoning
2 Tbsp. kosher or sea salt
2 Tbsp. black pepper
1 stick sweet cream butter, softened
First, put the turkey in the sink under cold running water and wash it thoroughly; making sure to remove all the debris from the internal cavity.
Then, with paper towels, pat the bird dry inside and out and place it onto a sheet of waxed or parchment paper on the countertop.
At this point, you also want to pre-heat your oven to 500 degrees.
Next, season the turkey front and back, inside and out, with the poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. And I don't mean just sprinkle it on—rub those seasonings into the bird hard!
Then, with the real butter (not margarine), massage the bird liberally—again both inside and out—until the butter coats the skin completely. And be sure you put butter up under the skin too!
Now place the turkey breast-side up into a high-sided baking pan large enough to hold the bird plus whatever juices will be rendered out (and you will get juices!).
Then tightly wrap the ends of the wing tips and drumsticks with a 4x4 square of aluminum foil—this keeps the tips from burning. Do not wrap the bird in foil, do not tent it, and do not put it into a baking bag! Cook it completely uncovered!
When your thermostat indicates that the oven is at 500 degrees, slide the turkey in but watch it closely. It should brown to a honey color in about 20 minutes or less. And that's all you want it to do—just turn a honey brown
Now, as soon as it reaches the right color (which actually seals the skin and holds in natural moisture) reduce the temperature to 225 degrees. Then slow-roast the turkey until it is tender and juicy. It should take you about 40 minutes to the pound, depending upon the insulation of your oven.
When it's almost done, remove the turkey from the oven, use a ladle, and dip out as much of the drippings as possible from the baking pan (but save them for your gravy).
Now turn the oven temperature up to 350 degrees, slide the bird back into the oven, and continue to bake—basting occasionally with the reserved drippings—until the turkey is glazed to a rich toasty color.
After it's cooked, you might take a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and cover the turkey to keep it warm and to prevent it from drying out.
When you're ready to eat, place the bird onto a serving platter, move it to the table, and carve it fresh for your family and dinner guests. The extra gravy made from the pan drippings can be used as a topping.
* You can prepare either a fresh or frozen turkey this way. But if you use a frozen turkey, it must be thoroughly thawed out before you attempt to cook it. And I recommend that you thaw it in the refrigerator (it takes about three days). Just remember, to prevent contamination, never, never, never, thaw on the countertop, or in the sink, or at room temperature! I also recommend that to cook the turkey to perfection you use a meat thermometer—just place it into the breast so that it doesn't touch any bone and bake until the temperature gauge reaches 180 degrees.
* A good Franksgiving gravy can be made using the drippings and whisking small amounts of cornstarch into it as it heats and thickens on the stove.

1. What is YouGiveGoods?Back to Top
YouGiveGoods is a socially conscious, for-profit company founded with the singular purpose of connecting those who want to help with those who need help most.
In these times of great need and diminishing support, YouGiveGoods believes that innovation is crucial to make sure that those who need help get it. Our technology platform is designed to make charitable drives easier to set up and run, more enjoyable to participate in and more fruitful for those they are designed to benefit. We do this by making it easy to connect with others who want to do good and by handling the "heavy lifting" of a Drive: spreading the word and getting the goods to where they are needed.
2. What is the YouGiveGoods mission?Back to Top
The YouGiveGoods mission is to help get more good done. We've created a web-based service that enables people to give and have a richer giving experience by purchasing the actual items in need and delivering them directly to the places where they will make the most difference-food pantries, animal shelters and homeless shelters.
YouGiveGoods strives to support a community of giving through the ease and utility of our web portal. YouGiveGoods fosters giving by:
- Enabling site users to start drives that benefit the charitable organizations of their choice as YouGiveGoods Drive Starters.
- Allowing people who want to do good to purchase goods on YouGiveGoods to help those in need.
YouGiveGoods is unique because we do not handle monetary donations. Instead, we allow you to quickly and easily purchase the types of goods those who are without need the most and ship them directly to where they are needed.
At YouGiveGoods, we feel that people inherently get more satisfaction from knowing, for example, that the cans of soup they bought reached someone who was hungry or that a coat went to someone without warm clothing. Our commitment is to provide the tools and cutting-edge technology to allow people to do more good for more people.
3. How can I help?Back to Top
There are three ways to help.
- Start a Drive! (we call the people and organizations who start and run drives, "Drive Starters")
- Support an existing Drive by making a purchase to contribute to the Drive or by spreading the word about a Drive.
- Become part of the YouGiveGoods Community and connect with people across the country seeking to do good and help others!
4. Can I just contribute money?Back to Top
YouGiveGoods does not accept monetary contributions. Our platform is designed to support direct giving of hard goods. That way, all of the goods you give go to the intended purpose. We would rather you selected a Drive on our site and used your money to purchase goods for those in need. We think it's important that you know exactly what's happening with your good intentions. Visit Find a Drive to learn more!
5. How is YouGiveGoods green?Back to Top
Being green is about lowering energy consumption, reducing our carbon footprint and making the planet a better place to live. When making a contribution to a food drive, you make a trip to the store, buy the goods, and then take them to the drop off location. That's gas costs, travel time and scheduling that a lot of people don't have in their busy lives. Multiply that by all of the people who participate in a Drive and it adds up to a lot of resources. By replacing all of those trips with one delivery to the drive's destination, we dramatically cut down the drive's energy consumption and carbon footprint.
6. Is YouGiveGoods a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization?Back to Top
No. YouGiveGoods is a for-profit e-commerce business. We offer a platform for you to either start and manage drives or to purchase goods from us at a price that is comparable to what the item would cost if you drove to a store to buy it. Our process then allows you to donate those purchased goods to our Goods Coordinator, a registered 501(c)(3) organization. The Goods Coordinator uses our system to seamlessly deliver your donated goods to the Food Pantry, Animal Shelter or Soup Kitchen the drive supports.
7. Who is eligible to contribute to a Drive?Back to Top
Almost anyone! The only restriction is age. You can't be too old, but you can be too young. You must be at least thirteen years old (it's the law). If you're too young, ask a parent or guardian to help you. Whether you are an organization or individual, YouGiveGoods makes it easy to help.
If you want to take your giving to the next level, consider becoming a YouGiveGoods Drive Starter! Visit Driveology for drive ideas and tips on how to get started.
8. What makes a drive successful?Back to Top
Participation! YouGiveGoods provides a powerful set of social networking tools to help you get your family, friends, work colleagues-and other connections you may have to get them involved in your drive. The more people you can reach with your drive's message, the more success your drive will have. Visit Driveology for tips on how to successfully manage YouGiveGoods drives.
9. How does YouGiveGoods select the charity for a drive?Back to Top
We don't, the Drive Starter does! Anyone can come to YouGiveGoods and start a goods drive to support a charitable organization. Our site offers two options: you can select an organization that is already in YouGiveGoods database or, if you submit an organization that is not in our database, we'll check to make sure they are eligible for a delivery of goods. If they are, we'll add them to our system.
10. What kind of Drives does YouGiveGoods support?Back to Top
For starters, YouGiveGoods supports "hard goods" drives, meaning drives whose purpose is to generate items that people contribute to help others. We do not support drives intended to generate money. We believe people tend to be more generous when they know what is happening with their goods intentions and so we think "hard goods" drives will result in more good being done.
The YouGiveGoods platform currently supports Food Drives and Animal Shelter Drives. We expect to expand to other types of Drives in the near future.
11. What can YouGiveGoods do for companies that want to get involved?Back to Top
YouGiveGoods is eager to work with all types of organizations to create their desired results; whether its community outreach, public relations or special event planning, we can help you reach your goal. Visit Driveology to learn about the giving applications and benefits YouGiveGoods can have for your organization or business.
12. What is the YouGiveGoods privacy policy?Back to Top
YouGiveGoods is committed to protecting your privacy to ensure that your personal information is protected. Our Privacy Policy has all the details.
13. Still have questions?Back to Top
Go to Contact Us and let us know what's on your mind.
1. What is Driveology?Back to Top
Driveology is that special combination of art and science that, applied properly, fuels the ease and enjoyment of starting and managing successful Drives.
The Driveology section of our site is specifically tailored to provide Drive Starters with the know-how to use a combination of best practices and the innovative technology tools offered by YouGiveGoods to enable your Drive to have amazing results.
Below you'll find some quick answers you may find helpful if you have not yet started a drive at YouGiveGoods. Be sure to visit Driveology for even more help, tips, and ideas.
2. How do I start a Drive?Back to Top
We've made starting a Drive as easy as possible. When you click on the Start a Drive button, you're sent to an online form to answer a few questions to determine who you are and who you'd like to help. It only takes a few minutes to fill out so you can create your Drive.
If the food pantry, animal shelter or homeless shelter you want to help is already in the YouGiveGoods system, your Drive will be immediately registered and you can start to promote your Drive with the YouGiveGoods communication tools. If the organization you have selected is not in our system, we'll register your Drive as soon as we determine that we can add it to our database (this usually takes a day or so). We'll notify you when that's completed so you can start promoting your Drive right away.
3. What is a Drive Starter?Back to Top
Drive Starter is the YouGiveGoods term for the individual who starts a YouGiveGoods Drive through our site. Becoming a Drive Starter is the most powerful way to use the YouGiveGoods website. A person can set up a Drive themselves or on behalf of an organization or group. The Drive Starter uses our social media tools and their own methods to get the word out about their Drive.
4. Who is eligible to start a Drive?Back to Top
Anyone! The only restriction is age. You can't be too old, but you can be too young. You must be at least thirteen years old (it's the law). If you're too young, ask a parent or guardian to help you. Whether you are an organization or individual, YouGiveGoods makes it easy to help.
Special note: YouGiveGoods is an ecommerce platform not registered under any state laws related to charitable giving. If you are an organization or individual regulated in connection with charitable activity under state laws, such as a charitable organization, professional fundraiser or solicitor for charitable contributions or other person formally affiliated with charitable giving, YouGiveGoods welcomes you, but your activities may require registration or other regulation. For example, if you have an agreement under which you are to receive compensation in any form from a charity on whose behalf you start a Drive, you are likely subject to such laws. Please check the relevant requirements of the states for guidance. A collection of links to state government websites with information regarding state registration requirements for charities, taxation, information for employers, and more is available at the Internal Revenue Service.
5. How do I start a drive if I represent a group or organization?Back to Top
Individuals representing a larger group or organization will have the opportunity to indicate the group they represent when completing the online form to Start a Drive.
6. How do I pick the goods needed for my Drive?Back to Top
You will not need to pick the goods offered for purchase to those who will support your Drive. YouGiveGoods offers a defined selection of goods for each type of Drive our system supports (right now that's food drives and animal shelters). We've developed this list of goods based upon our research to ensure that the Drives generate the types of items that those who need help really need.
7. How do I keep track of the progress of my Drive?Back to Top
There are two ways to track the progress of your YouGiveGoods Drive. The unique homepage for your Drive has information that can help everyone interested both promote and track the drive's progress. Click here for a sample drive page. As the Drive Starter, you will also be able to use the YouGiveGoods Drive Starter Dashboard. The Dashboard enables you to monitor your Drive in real time and provides a handy way to use YouGiveGoods' communication tools.
8. How can I ensure my drive is successful?Back to Top
It starts with setting a realistic and achievable goal for your Drive-maybe something that is a bit of a stretch but not so much to be unreachable. From there, it is all about participation-individuals reaching out to networks of friends, family members and associates, or businesses reaching out to other businesses-to let them know about the Drive and to urge their support. The YouGiveGoods Drive Starter Dashboard makes it easy to communicate with your network through email blasts and social-media tools to keep people fired up about the Drive. YouGiveGoods provides a powerful set of social networking tools to help you get your family and friends involved in your drive. The more people you can reach with your drive's message, the more success your drive will have!
Visit the Driveology section for even more tips on how to manage successful YouGiveGoods drives.
9. How long does it take for the goods to be delivered after the Drive is over?Back to Top
The goods will usually be delivered within a few weeks of the end of the Drive. If a large amount of goods are purchased, YouGiveGoods will be sending multiple shipments throughout the length of the drive and a final shipment after the Drive has ended. Once YouGiveGoods has confirmed a delivery date for the purchased goods, you will be notified via email. We'll also send you an email when the goods have arrived.
10. Who may I contact at YouGiveGoods for assistance?Back to Top

Your personal information is never shared with the charitable organization you've decided to support with a YouGiveGoods drive without your consent.

YouGiveGoods, LLC makes charitable contributions at its discretion from time to time.
13. Can I start more than one Drive at a time?Back to Top

If you select an organization that is already in our database, we'll confirm it immediately. If the organization is not in our database, it will take us a day or so to check to make sure we can add them to our database.

DA death probe includes ominous Facebook post; US prosecutor said to quit Aryan Brotherhood caseHome

DA death probe includes ominous Facebook post; US prosecutor said to quit Aryan Brotherhood case
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Apr 3, 2013, 07:34 am CDT
Updated: A federal prosecutor in Houston is withdrawing from a multiagency task force that investigated the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas prison gang as investigators probe the shooting deaths last weekend of Kaufman County, Texas, District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia.
Investigators have interviewed members of the Aryan Brotherhood gang, according to the New York Times, "but they remain no closer to linking the shootings to any particular suspects or motive." The couple's bodies were found on Saturday, two months after another county prosecutor, Mark Hasse, was fatally shot in a county parking lot. Kaufman County prosecutors had participated in the task force investigating the white supremacist gang, resulting in indictments against nearly three dozen gang leaders and other members.
Defense lawyers in the Aryan Brotherhood case were notified that Assistant U.S. Attorney Jay Hileman was withdrawing from the case because of security concerns, the Times says. A spokesman with the office did not confirm or deny that Hileman was dropping out of the case, but did say the prosecution would continue.
On Wednesday, a new prosecutor was named as co-lead counsel on the Aryan Brotherhood task force, the Los Angeles Times reports. He's Tim Braley, an assistant U.S. Attorney and a deputy chief of a Justice Department organized crime and gang task force. He will work alongside David Karpel, who had been previously working with Hileman.
Among the leads being pursued was a Facebook post stating that the slayings were "acts of revenge against the tyrannical, unjust, Pit Bull style treatment of every poor soul damned to do business in the Kaufman County courthouse." The post, written under the name "Bob Miller," named another prosecutor in the office who "will soon perish," the Times says.
On Thursday, police charged Robert Allan Miller with making a terroristic threat, report the Dallas Morning News Crime Blog and KVUE.com. Authorities allege Miller made Facebook threats against a prosecutor who was due to try him on a criminal charge.
Meanwhile, investigators on Saturday evening approached a fired county official in a Denny's parking lot who had been prosecuted by McClelland and Hasse. The former employee, whose law license was suspended, is appealing his theft conviction, according to NBCDFW.com. He submitted to gun residue tests and allowed a search of his cell phone, according to the broadcast station, the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.
The convicted official told the NBC station he cooperated and he hopes investigators find whoever is responsible for "this incredibly egregious act."
"If I was in their shoes, I would want to talk to me," he told the broadcast station. "In the investigators' minds, they want to check with me to do their process of elimination."

Wearable Wordplay-------
Marie Marot has a way with words. And for Fall 2013, the Paris-based designer translated her literary passions into smart, simple leather clutches and knit hats—all of which are embellished with copper plates engraved with some of her favorite mots. But there's a twist: Marot breaks up each of her eight featured terms into shorter ones, giving them a double meaning. "It all started with my love for words in English and French. You can play with everyday words if you open your eyes and ears, and a single word can suddenly open vast avenues for reasoning or reverie," says Marot. Her initial inspiration for her range, which she calls Chapter 1, was "Poe[try]." "I never forget this small verb inside." "Ameri[can]," "[Pain]ter," "Al[one]," and, our personal favorite, "Psy[chic]" are just a few examples of Marot's clever Fall vocabulary. As for her decision to debut with only beanies and clutches, she explains, "This is what I wear every day. They're my essentials."
Chapter 1 of Marie Marot's accessories range will be available this June at Colette, Coïncidence, and at her forthcoming e-shop on mariemarot.com

The Boston Celtics are not a deep team as is, and they may need to open their 2011-12 season without one of their main guys. Paul Pierce sat out practice on Tuesday with a heel injury, and Doc Rivers said there's a chance Pierce will miss the team's season opener against the New York Knicks on Christmas Day. Via WEEI's Paul Flannery:
Paul Pierce won't play tomorrow and Doc Rivers said he is concerned that Pierce may not be available for the regular season opener.
Pierce will not play in the Celtics' final preseason game on Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors at home. Rivers said he doesn't think Pierce's injury is a serious long-term issue, but it is a concern in the short term.
The Celtics are very thin behind Pierce, with only Marquis Daniels and Sasha Pavlovic in reserve. One of those two would likely start if Pierce cannot play on Sunday.

Intro for August 29, 2014
Dear Gossips,
I mentioned this yesterday but it must be repeated: really appreciate how considerate it was of the Brange to drop their marriage news on us yesterday instead of today, before we all take off for the Labour Day long weekend. On Friday, before a long weekend, you really don't want to work that hard. You don't want to have to scramble. Thursday is good. Thursday you're still focused. Friday is all about your boss letting everyone go early and, if you can get away with it, coasting through the morning.
It worked out for everyone. Except, maybe, Jon Voight. Who wasn't invited. And now he's talking to anyone who will talk to him, including the Daily Mail Full Story
