A Spoon Full of Sugar Makes the Photoshop Learning Go Down

ByNalts

Brilliant video collection here. Like you, I don’t like reading manuals. I do like getting better and faster at my software. MyDamnChannel has a series of very clever but informative tutorials about PhotoShop called “You Suck at Photoshop.” This recent one (You Suck at Photoshop #4) is absolutely self deprecating and wonderful. Donnie Hoyle shows…

Doritos Video Contest

ByNalts

So there’s a galary of amateur videos (consumer-generated advertising) posted on Doritos’ UK website, including this classic Davideo hit. He’s the UK creator of the exploding Diet Pepsi Mentos girl, and one of my favorites in the use of abstract video animation (so be sure to rate it if “five sizzling chips” if you like…

The Cost of a Viral Video Campaign

ByNalts

Business Week did a story on the omnipresent “The Viral Video Factory.”  Found via Adriana’s FURL. Here’s the quote I found of interest: Clients, nevertheless, are willing to play with higher sums. Advertisers will spend more than $1 million for a viral video campaign now, says Smith, a far cry from the $10,000-$20,000 he and…

Study Shows People Who Don’t Watch Online Videos Are… Boring

ByNalts

A recent study shows that the shrinking percent of US citizens that don’t watch online-video regularly are more likely (by 45%) to be boring than their video-watching counterparts. This study, mind you, is based not on a significant N or any official methodology. It’s just based on my own experience. For example, here’s a result…

OMG a Good Article About Viral Video Marketing?

ByNalts

Oh it’s so rare when someone writes an intelligent article about online video (aka viral) marketing. And it’s pretty funny when you’ve never heard of the author but she happens to work for the digital agency you employ in your day job.

“The Office” – An Obsessed Fan

ByNalts

I’m coming out of the closet as an 8.5 fan of NBC’s “The Office.” This new video (titled ‘The Office’ Obsessed Fan”) is directed toward the creators and actors of “The Office.” It’s rated 5th highest “video of the day” on YouTube and the second most discussed. So hopefully the staff finds it. I have…

  3. Ew, why is all the text in bold now?

    That’s amazingly accurate lip syncing if he’s not for real.

  5. He’s a good imitator and also a good singer.

    To fix the bold:

    Note: I’m putting HTML tags in (parentheses) instead of proper angle brackets so that your code doesn’t get screwed up even more.

    1. Cause: Somehow you have an extra (strong) tag after “Marc’s Band” with no closing (/strong) tag anywhere.

    2a. Solution A: Edit, regular (non-HTML) view, highlight:

    Marc’s Band

    Unbold it. If you wish, re-highlight and re-bold.

    If that doesn’t work:

    2b. Solution B: Edit, HTML view, delete the extra (strong) tag by changing:

    (p)(strong)Marc’s Band(/strong)(strong)(br /)

    to:

    (p)(strong)Marc’s Band(/strong)(br /)

    3. Rejoice! Grab whichever child is closest and give them a hug.*

    *Not if it isn’t one of your children, especially if you’re doing this on a mobile device while walking alone down a crowded Manhattan street during Outlaw Biker Gang Bring Your Daughter to Work Day.
