Best Online Video of 2010

9 Comments

Believe it or not, I debated the headline of this post longer than you might imagine.

I can’t sum this video up. It’s just your responsibility to watch it, and realize that… if my videos are chocolate flavored Doritos, ChurchofBlow’s are fine French meals, followed by a creme bruleee  and an espresso. This is the guy that brought you “YouTube Is My Life,” and it’s more of the same smart humor.

Creative writing and acting. Humor and depth. Visually compelling. Surreal and funny.

You can almost see Jeremiah at 3:00 a.m. handwriting the script on a yellow legal envelope with a dull #2 pencil. Then, months later, painstakingly moving through storyboards, visual layout, acting, and animation (look for a brilliant faux rack focus).

It’s so good it makes me want to punch him right in the brain.

  2. “You can almost see Jeremiah at 3:00 a.m. handwriting the script on a yellow legal envelope with a dull #2 pencil.”

    ChurchOfBlow is a collaborative project involving two people. Jeremiah doesn’t write the scripts. I do.

  3. It might be a wee bit early to make that call but I’m deeply flattered by this.

    I should just point out that I didn’t write the script, as lovely as the image you painted was. It was written by my friend and main collaborator on ChurchOfBlow, who doesn’t wish to make his name available to the wider world and asked to be credited as Eudora Wilty’s pet gerbil.

  4. “ChurchOfBlow is a collaborative project involving two people. Jeremiah doesn’t write the scripts. I do.”

    What he said.

  6. Bernard is my hero.

    I sit patiently pondering his death.

    Day and night, night and day.

    How will he go?
    When will he go?
    Where will he go?

    My only and last hope in life is that he goes before I do.

  8. Love this collaborative video Jeremiah, very well put together. A bit confusing like @Alexis said but it’s a thinker which is always good in my books, and refreshing like @Jason Beck mentioned. Encore!
