Camcorder Info did a profile on me recently. I like the site and its resources, except for one thing. The beautiful ads with shiny new camcorder toys that make me want to drive myself deeper and deeper into debt. So lovely. So shiny. My precious.
Last week I attended the Independent Feature Project (IFP)’s event in NYC, and was intrigued by some of the questions independent film makers were asking about online video. So here are some thoughts for aspiring film makers who are asking themselves the question, “how can I take advantage of the emerging online video space?” Ken…
I recently added an RSS for this new blog: FredGraver.com. Who’s Fred Graver? Well you should be embarassed you had to ask, but here’s his Wikipedia bio (and I won’t tell him you had to “refresh” yourself on his history). Fred works in big media, but he’s not afraid of the online video space. His…
YouTube, once extending “partnership” status to select video creators, announced this week that it would invite anyone to become a YouTube Partner — as long as they own a computer and have a pulse. Animals are not excluded. Here’s the news as announced in the YouTube Partner blog: Whether you’re a novice or a mogul,…
Jean-Baptiste Soufron is French, Chief Legal Officer of the Wikimedia Foundation, writes in this recent blog post that “more and more copyrighted content are being uploaded on their servers without the proper authorizations from copyright owners.” Says Soufron, their content is too often violating third parties copyright or privacy, they expose their users to the…
Here’s my video about LisaNova (a prominent YouTuber that broke her streak of sketch comedies by vlogging). I fake an accident in my Toyota. And how appropriate. A Toyota ad right there. Maybe it’s time to buy a Corrolla. Any discounts if I promise to show it on camera?
Like me, perhaps, you are more interested in what’s in the video than what site is streaming it. But no sooner than I identified the “poor man’s Brightcove alternatives,” did I find a comment from Brightcove’s Jeff Whatcot alerting me to the new $99 monthly “express” version of Brightcove that was announced today. Again- this…

Wow, that was riveting. I was onthe edge of my seat the whole time. And that ending — man, what a shocker!!
And what’s with this “chuckles” thing? It makes you sound like an 80 year old white guy who sits on his porch drinking lemonade and giving grandfatherly advice to anyone who walks by. If I were you I wouldn’t do any more chuckling in your interviews. Either laugh like a hyena or keep a straight face.
But thanks for the shout-out to your viewers! I felt you were thinking of me personally when you made those comments. It made me feel all warm and stuff. Then I realized I had peed my pants.
Just putting it out there, but you said “Initial” 5 times on one page of comments.
You get articles written about you, I get fan mail. Here’s my most recent one:
I spent a good part of last night watching your “Spoken word and music” vids. What decade are you from, man? You’re like a contemporary multi-media 60’s beat poet/writer (except without the booze and drugs?). Your stuff rips, clenches, sooths, takes one on journeys (outside and inward), they’re just fucking amazing. It was an experience, all right. Thank you.
Why aren’t you famous yet? Has the time for appreciating your type of work passed? I don’t know..
PS I’ll stop bugging you with my emails, I’m starting to look like a stalker! It’s really just that when I discover someone new on YT, I focus on their vids and see where they take me. Yours were something completely unexpected and different from everything else. Now don’t respond with “Google “Help me keep my mean drunk sister fat” 😉
Nice article, but why does everyone who interviews you insist on calling you “Kevin Nalts” (or Brian Nalty)? Why not use your real name?
Anyway, nothing really new in the article that I hadn’t already heard you blab on about continuously in this blog and elsewhere.
BTW, sukatra, I’m sure he was thinking of ME, not you. 🙂
Marilyn, I’m so proud of you. You’re getting to be almost as sarcastic as I am. I’m gonna have to raise my game.
This was an engaging article!
I will check out Camcorder Info in the future after reading this interview.. they seem to ask interesting and relevant questions.
Congrats, Mr. ‘Viral Video Genius’… =)
PS you didn’t mention which camcorder will be your upgrade from the HV20 (or if you did I missed it)…. since I am looking to get a new one I’d like to know if there are particular models you have your eyes on or if at this point you are happy with the HV20 (nice camera btw).
Cheers
Why do they always seem to edit it out when you tell them “NutCheese is my pimp!”?
I want one
Oh God, Nalts has gone into one of those “Lord of the Rings” moments
Sukatra:
I am honored that you think I am ALMOST as sarcastic as you. Bring it on!
Man, I wish there was a “thumb” function on this blog, because Jake Leonard definitely deserves a thumbs-up for that comment!
