Most of us are sleepwalking through life… missing great moments because we’re lost in our own thoughts and tasks.
Not me anymore. I woke up. I am Zen. I am enlightened. Stillness Speaks. I am aware.
Join me on my spiritual journey, while commuting to work yesterday.
A video creator I get hundreds of positive and negative comments per video. As a result, I tend to leave only positive, constructive feedback on other people’s videos. So I have to save my criticism for online advertising like this AOL News spoof on Chris Crocker, Mrs. America and tasers. Let’s start positive: Shows AOL…
Weirdest thing. I'm driving along minding my own business (and happened to be videotaping myself as usual- with a two-camera shoot). And my GPS machine starts copping a 'tude on me. Turns out she had PMS, but I didn't realize that until I tossed her out the window of my moving car. Anyone know where…
So it’s this Woodstock of social media, with web-only attendance. Yeah I think I’ve got that right… Steve Garfield, our favorite, provides us with some actionable tips courtesy of CedarStage Marketing. Garfield, videoblogging pioneer and author of Get Seen, promised numerous tips for putting videos online, and he “did not disappoint.” He emphasized that you don’t…
I’ve been trying for months to crack the Metacafe code. I’ve earned almost $4,000 but mostly from one or two of my videos. Meanwhile, Viral Video Czar Zack Scott has claimed more than $11,000 with his collection — about 10 of his videos have made it to the Producer Awards program. Yesterday he offered this…
In a brave move by Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and their gang, Funny or Die has finally moved its content to YouTube. The FunnyorDie website has always had an identity-crisis. It certainly wasn’t a sage financially-driven move, but a fantastic creative outlet for spontaneous and risque comedy by Ferrell, McKay and friends. It was a…
Just discovered that WillVideoForFood is listed as one of the top 7 “Fastest Growing Blogs.” Based on this post, I’d put it down on the bottom of the “most humble blogs.”

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.
