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.
The Onion reports that YouTube is offering a $100,000 prize for any video that is actually good. No entries have yet appeared in YouTube’s new “Actually Good” tab, according to this story. If you’re careful, you’ll see that MIKMA makes a subtle cameo with “Mikma was here.” That’s either a complete coincidence or evidence that…
I’m drafting my 2009 predictions for online video. I’m trying really hard not to repeat previous predictions, and to be realistic about what can happen in a year. This space has made enormous changes in 2008. Last month I made more on YouTube advertising revenue than I made in a month from my first job…
All you can ever hope when you make a stupid online video is a reaction. You don’t really care if it’s positive or negative. And that’s what I got with the Lay Me Off. Yahoo gave me a gift I’ll always treasure. It’s hundreds and hundreds of scathing comments about the video, and I’ve only…
I’m so glad that CarriBugbee shared this on The Twitter. Here’s a video clip that sets things straight about the Internets and technology vernacular. Rachel Maddow’s correspondent Kent Jones shows how Montana Senator Max Bacchus referred to lots of “YouTubes in the Crowd.” A double whammy because he pluralized YouTubes, and presumably was thinking not…
As I posed last week, some of the most popular YouTube videos of the day/week have been oddly long. I surmised that some of the creators with avid fan bases are able to convince their viewers to watch most of a 10-15 minute vlog. As a result, those videos get high “attention scores” (which is…
Gnooze reports that people demonstrated this weekend to support a woman’s right to show their breasts in public. And there wasn’t a YouTube gathering there, why??? Warning- nudity and a shot of Marquisdejolie commenting about reading the constitution. She’s also really, really loud.

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!
