I don’t know if many remember, but when some of the bloggers saw the trailer for Ice Pilots NWT we thought it would be funny to make a parody video. Once our trailer was out and so were the first few episodes of Ice Pilots NWT, we got together again to film the first episode of Ice Bloggers NWT. If you follow the show you will be able to see what lines we used. Most of the our first episode is just a parody of a couple Ice Pilots episodes.

It was good fun make as well as interesting… We plan on making more but don’t know when. As you can tell this episode was filmed before Christmas but I only got around to getting it out now.

Here at YkOnline we are going MultiMedia. From text, to audio and now to video. Stay tuned for videos from around Yellowknife about Yellowknife. Let me know what you think of this new venture? Do you like video? How often would you like to see videos? Let me know below.

NNSL (Northern News Service Ltd.) released their 2009 Yellowknife Votes Web Forum on their site. It is very well done I might add.

This section of their site includes everything you, the voter, will want to know of the candidates and voting. So far they have questionnaires and video interviews with all the candidates for both Council and Mayor. You will also find out information about the who, what, where, when, why and how for voting. In true NNSL fashion they also have several poll going on, on this page for you to take part in.

You can also check out NNSL Managing Editor Bruce Valpy introduce when they are doing on the site and give you some more information about the municipal election.

Make sure you head on over there and take part in some of the polls and find out more about the candidates running. Also make sure you submit any questions you’d like answered by the candidates on the bottom of the page. That is something I was going to try and do but it seem they are better connected for it.

Today is  Sunday and it is the day of rest, so I’m not going to post anything to deep. I thought a video would be perfect.

Along my travels through the Internet, specifically YouTube, I came across this interesting video of none other than old town. The video was produced by WAMP Film production and Paul Gordon. I’m not sure as the exact time the video was shot but in the description it states it aired in 2001 or 2002. Take a look.

I also found the video below by the same user and thought I would share it to. I actually found this video years ago while in high school and thought it was a neat idea. It is called “Dump Talk” and I thought and still do a think it would make a great web series. *Note there is a little bit of bad language in the video, among other crappy things, so be warned.

I just found this video that I believe Liz shot and produced. It is of Shelagh Montgomery explaining about why she is running again for council and talking about some city issues.

Take a look.

Also take a look at Shelagh’s website and Twitter account.
