Best Online Video of 2010

ByNalts

Believe it or not, I debated the headline of this post longer than you might imagine.

I can’t sum this video up. It’s just your responsibility to watch it, and realize that… if my videos are chocolate flavored Doritos, ChurchofBlow’s are fine French meals, followed by a creme bruleee  and an espresso. This is the guy that brought you “YouTube Is My Life,” and it’s more of the same smart humor.

Creative writing and acting. Humor and depth. Visually compelling. Surreal and funny.

You can almost see Jeremiah at 3:00 a.m. handwriting the script on a yellow legal envelope with a dull #2 pencil. Then, months later, painstakingly moving through storyboards, visual layout, acting, and animation (look for a brilliant faux rack focus).

It’s so good it makes me want to punch him right in the brain.

Two of the funniest YouTube creators groove together. Brandon Hardesty (best known for “Strange Faces” and his movie impressions, but my favorite is “Extreme Toothbrushing“) and EdBassmaster (best known for “Dog Drives Car,” but my favorite is “I Like Dogs” and when he cracks up during his prank calls).  It has some dance moves you…

Free Ticket to “Consumer Generated Media”

ByNalts

I’ve heard so many brands talk about the importance of “Consumer Generated Media,” yet so few doing anything interesting. For the most part, brands have established little billboards far removed from highway exits. Why not get on the highway, guys? Fish where the fish are (to used a tired cliche). I blogged in January about…

Eefoof Compared to YouTube… Like Revver Doesn’t Exist

Interesting that Eefoof — a relatively new site that pays creators for content — is getting billed as a “YouTube competitor.” Check out this CNBC story and this Digg.com post, which raises the question as to whether it will be a YouTube killer. Mashable challenges the business model and calls the site ugly. I give…

Internet Video Statistics

I’m working on a post that summarizes some of the recent statistics related to online video, and I’m hoping YouTube will share some recent stats. I’m also hoping I can post some of the data I source via Hitwise in my day job (with permission). In the meantime, I found this Profy post titled “ComScore…

  2. “You can almost see Jeremiah at 3:00 a.m. handwriting the script on a yellow legal envelope with a dull #2 pencil.”

    ChurchOfBlow is a collaborative project involving two people. Jeremiah doesn’t write the scripts. I do.

  3. It might be a wee bit early to make that call but I’m deeply flattered by this.

    I should just point out that I didn’t write the script, as lovely as the image you painted was. It was written by my friend and main collaborator on ChurchOfBlow, who doesn’t wish to make his name available to the wider world and asked to be credited as Eudora Wilty’s pet gerbil.

  4. “ChurchOfBlow is a collaborative project involving two people. Jeremiah doesn’t write the scripts. I do.”

    What he said.

  6. Bernard is my hero.

    I sit patiently pondering his death.

    Day and night, night and day.

    How will he go?
    When will he go?
    Where will he go?

    My only and last hope in life is that he goes before I do.

  8. Love this collaborative video Jeremiah, very well put together. A bit confusing like @Alexis said but it’s a thinker which is always good in my books, and refreshing like @Jason Beck mentioned. Encore!
