Will Ferrell and His Toddler Landlord
ByNalts
With mixed emotions, I tell you that the viral-video scene just got serious. My comedic idol, Will Ferrell, showcases his ability to jump backwards on the video-to-tv/film divide. I’m thrilled to see him set a higher bar, but candidly worried about a new breed of competition. He and Adam McKay appear in this hysterical video…

Promoting Your Brand With Viral Video
ByNalts
I debated heavily before posting this, because this blog is supposed to be a review of the fun world of viral video and marketing (not an advertisement for my services). That being said, I think some of you readers may be interested in how I work with sponsors. As you know, I advocate that brands…
Clueless Author Reveals Online-Video Secrets
ByNalts
So I do this interview at Blogworld not realizing it’s friggin’ Mark Robertson of REELSEO that’s interviewing me. Since the question of video SEO comes up, I mention Mark during the interview, referring to him as the authority on video search-engine optimization… after all he helped with the chapter on video SEO in “Beyond Viral.” Then the…

Is Online-Video Advertising, PR or Marketing?
ByNalts
I’ve been using the term advertising when speaking about online-videos that promote a product. But is it that, or is it public relations (PR)? Is it marketing or something else? This MediaPost article by Alan Schulman of IMC2 (an interactive agency) reminded me that it’s about marketing not advertising. Says the creative director: Advertising will remain…
Not Too Late to Do a Viral Video in 2007
ByNalts
Warning: This post has a self-serving promotional element, but I still think you’ll find it entertaining. A strange thing happens to marketers in December, and it’s a phenomenon that is true for most companies in any industry. Marketers spent much of the year managing their budget tightly, asking about ROI, and squeezing vendors. Then in…

Marquis must be sleeping. He’s usually quick to find these kinda things.
psst.. don’t forget it’s Jo’s birthday tomorrow.. I hope you’ve got her a present Mr Nalts.. ‘specially if you’ve got time for 3 posts in one day!
time to get that candle out again 🙂
I only know how to en-tard sisters, Steve, not how to un-tard. All the rain today has been a blessing. Now I don’t have to drive to Caddo Lake. I can fish off my front porch.
🙂
I have four brothers. I hate them. Okay hate is a strong word. I dislike them. Most of them. And yet I feel grateful for them after watching marquis’ video.
Glad I could help bring a little harmony into your family, sukatra. My work is done here.
🙂
I wish I could make videos like that, but I read somewhere you need a thing called a kamera. Got to get one of those.
I made my first 50 videos with no webcam or videocamera, j, only a photo scanner and Photoshop. Then I got a cheap digital still camera and made 50 more that way. Made the first 10 on a laptop plugged into the cigarette lighter of the Buick Electra I was living in (plugged in a three-way inverter for the scanner in the passenger seat. Then I moved up to RV living and cranked out videos with my 3 megapixel digital still camera, but I didn’t start seriously cranking out the vids until I moved into the homeless shelter.
Let nothing stop you from doing what you want.
you’re such a geek!
omg it;s Jo’s birthday tomorrow I forgot to tell you what to get her in case you forgot to get her something we were all supposed to tell you to get her! I’m never going to make a Nalts A-lister at this rate!
is it possible to fail twice in one day?
If my only viewers were the people commenting on this blog, I’d have just as much fun. I love seeing your names on comments here and YouTube. One day I’d love to have a mini gathering of the sukatras, marquis, jischingers, and the like.
What about me, Nalts? Why do you always forget me? I am sooooo hurt.
PS-Say Happy Birthday to Jo for me!
Marilyn – the only reason nalts mentions my name is that he’s afraid of me, like everybody else on this blog. And I don’t know why they are, because I always say the sweetest things and I’ve got sunshine streaming out of my ass.
Kev, if the only video maker on You Tube were you I’d still watch.
I’m going to start calling Marilyn Gretel 😉
Can we get some video of that sunshine thing, sukatra?
jischinger: Why Gretel? What does that mean? Am I missing something (I usually am)?
marilyn you’ll just have to watch the movie
She locks Hansel in a cage, and makes Gretel her servant. While she prepares to cook Hansel, she orders Gretel to fetch her candies and fats to force feed Hansel. Unable to do anything, Gretel weeps bitterly and does as she is told.
jischinger: Ok, I clicked on your name and now I get it. LOL. Like I said, I am always the last to catch on.
I thought it was an Ivanhoe reference.
