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.
Get used to prerolls and video-enabled display ads. The UK’s office of the IAB (Internet Advertising Bureau) predicts online-video ads to become the most popular format (source). Today the bureau reports: “Video ads and rich media content are set to overtake more traditional forms of online advertising such as display and banner ads in Australia,…
A rabbit can scare sheep? Thanks to Weird Universe for sharing this delightful video of a little bunny rounding up sheep. Seems a German channel posted this just days ago…
Web-standards advocate, Molly Holzchlag (molly.com) proposes, in a recent post, abolishing “bottom-posting.” I was disappointed to read that headline, until I realized she was not referring to blog posts about our bottom. In my case, I’ve been constipated for three days and I’ve consumed 3 bowls of cereal in the past 20 minutes hoping Mother…
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…
An odd survey by the Interactive Advertising Bureau shows that 92% of us share video via mobile, but in ways you wouldn’t expect. 56% of us post it on Facebook. 44% show it on the phone the old fashioned way… in person. The next two most-common methods are text and e-mail. Only then do we…
Oh you stupid marketer. I can’t even believe you found this blog post. You’re so stupid. I can’t even help you right now. But Chris Brogan can. He’s got a list of 50 ways a marketer can use social media. Why don’t you go read it so you can make sure you don’t accidentally do…

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!
