The Australian blokes are mangling sting rays to avenge Steve Irwin’s untimely death. It won’t bring back the animal lover but it will prevent a dangerous “sting ray” revolt. We were at the Camden, NJ, aquarium this weekend and I caught one reading Edgar Allen Poe’s “Telltale Heart.”
Here’s some footage of folks catching a sting ray– presumaly before they sliced him up.
I hope this doesn’t distract these folks from dingo hunting.
Direct-response television (TV ads that have a “call to action”) aren’t new. But I did have a chance to hear about best-practices on DR-TV and they struck me as awfully similar to some of the online-video entertainment best practices. Example: Immediate Appearance of Response Mechanism (start your video with a compelling clip) Response Mechanism Duration…
If you know Greg Benson, Mediocrefilms and Mediocrefilms2, then you’ll squeal with delight in discovering this vintage piece. It’s a training video for an upscale fast-food restaurant (or downscale real restaurant). I’m not naming the company name because I’d hate for them to ask for it to be removed. It’s vintage Greg… before the hair…

Feed Company’s Josh Warner selected his favorite “10 most innovative viral videos,” but we’re not crazy about them. The Samsung vanishing camera one is pretty cool. Can you guess how they did it? The cheat is linked via annotation at the beginning. The piano steps, laptop butt and baby thing are okay too.
As long-time readers of WillVideoForFood.com may recall, I’ve been procrastinating a book about online video for longer than a pregnancy. I’ve been trying to find a co-author that can keep the piece on track, but obviously can’t afford a spiffy ghost writer. In the meantime, it seems someone has beat me to the punch. CinemaTech…

Now relax and feel wonderful about your week. Yey! Thanks, Jan. We don’t know how you find these, but love that you keep sending ’em. Speaking of…

Killing a stingray won’t bring Steve Irwin back.
Attaching him to some metal diodes, giving him a kangaroo heart, the hands of a dead convict and asorted body parts from mutilated Aussie rules football players, then waiting for lightnight to strike your lightnight road and screaming…. “It’s alive! Crikey!” That’s how you bring him back…
DONT KILL THEM.
I AM GOING TO SHOOT YOU.
