De-clawed Cat Trees Bear!

This is one of the most interesting animal stories we've seen recently. The Boston Globe gave the story an in depth treatment. The National Geographic also covered the story and had better photos. It's about "Jack" the cat that doesn't like anybody in his yard. The black bears showed up foraging for food. Jack apparently kept the 400 pound bear at bay for over 15 minutes.

Send us story recommendations if you got 'em!

Bould Productions Shots or Spots!

This is the new version of my production company's site. Would enjoy any constructive discussion of the layout and content.

-Jim
Hello from Jim Boulden, Executive Producer at the Animal News Channel [http://www.animalnewschannel.com]. This channel is being built for the animal lovers of the world. ANC is beginning the search for positive and fun animal programming.

Do you shoot any video of your pets, backyard visitors, or on safari? You could have a shot at promoting that footage to advertisers and the mobile media. These markets are growing fast, and there is a chance for making some money with your shows.

You have probably heard of sites that take your video for free, and sell advertising based on the traffic these sites build.

Our concept is to build distribution in paid content. That means your video needs to be good. Real good. The main problems of a YouTube [http://www.youtube.com/] are: (1) lots of low grade videos; (2) difficult or impossible to earn anything with your video; (3) the animals section seems full of the same videos we've seen on "America's Favorite Home Videos".

In other words, to sell content, you need a "Hollywood Connection". A promotional vehicle of some kind.

The folks behind Animal News Network have been a part of creating animal-based content for television, film, commercials and large commercial venues for over 25 years. If you have watched anything on film or video in the past twenty years, you have probably seen our work. Here are some links to see now: [http://www.animalmakers.com/Portfolios/]

We've already sold content to this list of advertisers: [http://www.animalmakers.com/Portfolios/commercial.php]

Already, there are 10,000 interested viewers per month visiting our new site:
http://www.animal-channel.com/

You can get in the early development of this interesting entertainment site and earn with your video work.

Send us an email with info on your animal-oriented entertainment property.

Be well, and do good work,

Jim Boulden, Executive Producer, http://www.animal-channel.com
