Google Chrome Engineers: Step Away from the Camera

This is a real Google Chrome operating system promotion created by engineers and posted on YouTube. The good news? They set a low bar for consumers to create their own YouTube commercials. And maybe that thankless job of being a Google marketer will improve, as the product and engineer-driven company may finally recognize marketing as a non-trivial function. Sadly Google’s high GPA requirement means no great marketer or sales person can ever work for the software company.

Buy Discount B-Roll Footage Online (Parody)

I’ve written many times about an obvious business model: amateurs with decent cameras shoot b-roll and sell it to advertisers at a reasonable price (one time purchase, no complex royalties or licenses). This will drastically reduce the cost of the video ads that will be created in the coming years, and that will be important if marketers want creative that is more personalized by channel.

This is a great parody of the subject I found on Break.com. An infomercial for cheesy b-roll. You want depressed woman with her hand on the wall? Why does she have her hand on the wall? I don’t know. That’s what depressed people do. Don’t judge the broll!
