If you’ve watched a few horror movies, and screamed “don’t go outside to check things out, you idiot!” then you might find this short interactive zombie film worth some time. It’s got some gore, though. So I warned you. It’s called Survive the Outbreak, and you’ll make choices almost every minute — each leaving you…
Sometimes you have to bring those industry watchers off the bleachers and into the game. Here we see Daisy Whitney in her amateur-video debut… The Uninvisible Man. The TVWeek writer and host of New Media Minute was gracious enough to appear in this short video where I turn invisible… well at least I think I…
As you may know, we have two audiences for WillVideoforFood: Online-video industry advocates (agencies, bloggers, marketers, media). These people quietly graze for stories, but rarely interact. The online-video junkies and Nalts watchers. These folks are more active on the web, and usually keep this blog alive with a clever thread of comments– which is more…
I MUST know what you think of this Bill Gates and Seinfeld campaign. Please scan this short article on the Huffington Post, and watch the clips if you haven’t. Then comment below, but be specific. Why do you like or not like them? Then, and only then, are you allowed to peek at the “more”…
Readers Digest and I have had a long history together… We’ve spent many hours together (often on the loo, but that may be TMI). I used to explain that I subscribed to the mini magazine because I wanted to monitor the pharmaceutical advertising (it’s my day job… I gotta know who’s advertising). The truth is I…
Some of you aren’t regular YouTube viewers, but have loads of RSS (feeds) available via a reader. I use iGoogle as my reader, for instance, and I have a customized page loaded with RSS feeds from my favorite blogs and websites. Butterfly. If you prefer to get alerts for new videos that way, here’s a…
Yesterday my wife and I were finalizing our information for a financial counselor who will tell us that we’re too deep in debt, not saving enough, and have precious little buffer. So naturally I found myself humming this intro tune all morning. I shot half of this on the way in, and then wrote a…
I’m just proving that you don’t have to be Tina Fey (or LisaNova) to appear on CNN impersonating Sarah Palin. Yeah that’s me in drag (see Sarah Palin Exposed, which is almost at a half-million views). My parents are so proud. I usually don’t know my clips are going to be used on television until after…
Those industry writers (you know the type) often sit safely in the bleachers and observe the insanity below. But what if you drag the journalist into the center ring? What happens? What occurs when Peter Coffin poses as Whitney on a YouTube video? How does she react (see below). Does she use her TS Elliot…
Now we’re getting into our 200 series classes. This topic is complex, but vital to the sustainability of a YouTube creator. Today’s lesson is based on some discoveries I’ve made this summer. Months ago I noticed VenetianPrincess showcasing a “best-of” reel on her channel page’s auto-play, which perplexed me. I had initially asked YouTube if…
