Online-Video: The Gap Between “Stars” and Others Widens
Put on your thinking caps, kids. Lots of wisdom in here. Most of it is additive to Beyond Viral, but go buy that damned book if you haven’t. And if you have read Beyond Viral, please provide a gratuitous complement below even if it’s fake. Hey I’m not expecting to outsell Hunger Games, but my…
Ambien is the Nectar of the Gods
Loyal WVFF commenter, Sukatra, referred to Ambien as the “Nectar of the Gods.” We agree. We’re reminded of this video, which I wanted to embed via Revver (as opposed to the YouTube version) just because I feel like it. And Google found it first. But alas WordPress thinks it’s better than Revver. I did this…
Royalty-Free Music: Distribution and Rights
There’s a nice thread on the WillVideoForFood Forum about music for online video. Some nice links inside the thread. In a recent post, I said that you can get my music for free, royalty-free use by visiting http://music.ofnalts.com (which takes you to a Podshow site). But then I realized two things: It’s harder than I…
Gender Switch? Ask Your Doctor About Femedone
Thinking of switching genders? Ask your doctor about Femedone (see video). Thank goodness we didn’t accidentally call it Femidone, which is apparently a female condom. This goes to show… be careful about taking other people’s prescription drugs. I’ve been on business travel and vacation, and I can’t tell you how good it felt to wake…
What Happens in 60 Seconds on the Internet
Hats off to infographicguy’s visual and exciting explanation about what happens in 60 seconds on the Internet. Imagine if more companies used video and infographics to communicate otherwise complicated ideas. They can hire their agencies, or ask the infographics guy for help for what would likely amount to 1/10th the cost.

Thank you. I thought I was the only dope that took videos while driving. Now I can finally tell my wife I’m not the only one! And I don’t even read!
But seriously, get THEPod (www.thepod.ca). Best in-car gadget I own (and the only one). Works great with the camera and can withstand high-speed turns (with some assistance from one of those little sticky-gel-pad-thingies).
Best part? Everything. Because I’ve done it all (including driving with your teeth and driving off the side of the road while taping).
No teeth on the wheel here, but it’s the favorite in-car video I’ve made:

We finally get to see the man behind the TK initials. Sorry about Uncle Irv.
I’m not sure I can afford a http://www.thepod.ca, but thanks for reminding me about the sticky gel pad. At least that will keep the camera from rolling away. I’ve found the dashboard videos easier than the “hide the camera from the tollbooth guy” ones. In that case I stack a camera on top of a stack of my dry cleaning. It’s very adjustable and usually stays put. Trickiest part is pulling up to the right spot so he’s in frame.
I’ve got all my props together for my YouTube bubble burst video I’m shooting on the drive home. If I don’t upload or post in a while it’s because I swerved off the road trying to make it today.
Wow, Revver must not be paying well. Mine (red version) was only about $20. But you could make your own. It’s nothing more than a mini-beanbag for your camera. Just don’t open them. It’s hell to close them and keep all those beads inside.
Thanks for the condolences. And yes, that was one of my few on-camera scenes. Unlike you, I prefer to stay BEHIND the camera.
Back to my post at work.
