Creating the Perfect Online Video Site (Frankenstein Style)
I’m planning on doing a thorough review of the major online video sites, but here’s my first attempt at creating the perfect online video site: It would have the traffic and community of YouTube. It would have Revver’s advertising-sharing model It would have Metacafe’s ability to sift the best content It would have that cute…
Punch Your Neighbor, But Check Your Frustration at the Door
Haven’t been to Dailymotion in a while? Check out the “Big Mexican Punch Up.” It’s a tradition that dates back to feuding neighbors, but the mayor cautions us that participants, by rule, can’t have been involved in a dispute prior to the event. They don’t want them venting frustration as they punch strangers repeatedly in…
Meeting Fringe’s Mad Scientist
As a result of this Fringe Walter-Bishop song parody video, I had the pleasure of meeting actor John Noble and his fellow cast members from Fringe (a new Fox show I adore). I shot some fun footage with the cast at ComicCon NYC today, and got some parody acting tips from the cast. The actors, their…
Worst Online-Video Contest Entry Ever
Seriously- this has got to be done by the interactive agency that wasn’t selected by Butterfinger to run the Yahoo contest. And it’s been watched a few hundred times, no doubt fueled by Butterfinger’s media budget.
Online Video & SEO
I don’t often quote press releases, but this release by Vmatrix is quite accurate: Two hottest trends in online marketing – streaming video and video SEO – will take off in popularity in 2009. According to online marketing studies, Google’s universal search algorythms, which allow multimedia to appear in search results along with web page…
YouTube is Seven Years Old
Happy Birthday, YouTube. You’re Seven. In internet years, that’s 49. I didn’t get you a present because I think I only counted 5 YouTubers in this video.

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.
