I’m Packing It In. I’ve Been Outclassed.

ByNalts

Well after two years of trying to evangelize amateur video, it would appear that Fred and Sharon have done more in this two-minute video titled “Who Needs a Movie.” They inspire, generate ideas, and provide passion that I’ve lacked. As film maker Dawn Westlake said, “OMG! I’m packin’ it in. How can anyone who’s legit…

9thX.com: What Do Napster and Edison Have in Common?

ByNalts

Thanks, Dino, for pointing out a new player in the “digital media marketplace. “9thXchange” is handling the “complex infrastructure needed to sell and manage digital files of all types including documents, games, music, movies and “yet to be created” digital media files.” As evidenced by the start-up’s online video contest, it seems especially interested in…

YouTube Comedy Analysis: Thanks Will Reese

ByNalts

Friday I did a “call for crowdsource help” on the YouTube/Comedy research I’m presenting at next week’s ISHS presentation. A big thanks for your comments, and especially to Will Reese. Check out this graphic… Will’s categories (farce, dark, screwball, slapstick, parody, satire) were his own creation, and he found this interesting discover. Over shorter periods…

“Just Give Me a Damned Cigarette” : JibJab Goes Puppets for Year-End-Review

ByNalts

One of the things that gets me through the holidays is the anticipation and enjoyment of JibJab’s annual year-end song parody. When Twitter rumors about CNN’s announcing Morgan Freeman’s death this week, I called JibJab’s Voice Jim Meskimen (website/on YouTube) to see if he’d do his classic Freeman impersonation. He did in this “Morgan Freeman…

Best Consumer-Generated Advertising?

ByNalts

What’s your favorite consumer-generated advertisement? (See Joseph Jaffe’s dated but comprehensive iMediaConnection article to get a better understanding of what CGA is). A classic is when iPod lover and teacher George Masters creates his own online campaign for Apple iPod. HappySlip’s Mac Beautiful is one of my favorites, and it was seen more than a…

  2. What do you want from a guy who wore a vial of Angelina Jolie’s blood around his neck.

    Looks like he’s had a psychotic break.

    I am really impressed with the demeanor of the host. The man is a consummate pro.

  5. I can’t tell whether it’s serious or not, although frankly I think billy bob is too full of himself to do this kind of self-mockery.

  6. I really don’t care if this is fake or real. I personally think it’s BB fucking with this guy. I don’t think it’s self-mockery at all.

  7. I’m usually good at spotting a fake, and I’m going to say it’s real. Because if it was fake, they would have pushed it just a few notches more. A good idea to get press, though.

  8. After your video mocking the mockery I moseyed over to the Billy Bobs music videos and, let me first say, I’m no country music aficionado, but these guys sounded at best like a good hillbilly bar band.

    And precisely, how can it not come up indeed, this band would be a blip without Billy Bobs other success, we don’t live in a vacuum and it strikes me Billy’s not stupid, so I think this was a set up, he was playing with the interviewer, ikes and can afford to be a smart ass.

    Whatever it was, it got him his blip and a good chuckle.

    There was only one thing that made me think it might be real, as sukatra said arrogance, the other band members looked like they were scared shitless.

    So, well played boxcutters or some people will put up with anything for a little coat tail fame.
