Oh sure… the dad in me was happy to participate in the Halloween Bash created by my kids… toward the end you’ll see Charlie (age 5) telling me he puked between scenes. Poor Falcon.
But the creepy video guy preferred to collaborate with some of the most frightening special-effects artists on YouTube…. DavideoDesign and Iggy35. Check them out. Shaycarl was supposed to be in this, but after 15 e-mail reminders, we wrote him out.
Some call it “virality.” YouTube Broker called it Viralaliscicy. Let’s call it “Viralacticy,” a play on viral and “elasticity.” What’s the formula for viralacticy of a viral video advertising? It’s simple. Punch x Message = Impact. Scenario 1: Let’s say for instance, that we had a viral ad that delivers a killer punch. (Punch is…
Yahoo showed a fairly large increase in last month’s online-video viewing. How? I’ll give you a hint: it’s news. Since most of the monthly comScore data is predictable, the blogs have jumped on this… Search Engine Watch called it “colassel as a giant squid,” and TubeFilter called it “massive.” While 20% growth on a low…
Thru you
Thanks to yesterday’s comments section (marquisdejolie) I’ve discovered YouTubeicide. It was going to allow it to be a quiet guilty pleasure since it’s somewhat macabre. But this parody of Michael Buckley (Whatthebuckshow) was simply too good to pass on. Screw Retarded Policeman. I won’t feel like I’ve “made it” until these guys rip me a…
(If you’re on YouTube and you see this message).
As many as 25% of the views of a video may come from people finishing a related video. This chart shows the percentage of views that come from various sources to my “The Best of Naked Vlogs.” This is not a representative example, but look at the percent of traffic that comes from “related video”…

Kinda creepy. I’ll leave it up to you to decide which video I’m talking about.
Just kidding. But why am I reminded of the opening white picket fence scene in Blue Velvet?
Those kids did a great job. I can’t believe people actually really do that kind of thing. If we tried that, it would quickly turn into chaos and screaming. And you have a dog there too.
@2^
I was thinking the same thing. Also I was thinking of Americana, an era gone by, I thought.
I’m going to dress up as a sociopath for Halloween.
^You’re just going to put your hat on and that’s it?
@4 That means you could just dress like anyone you meet on the street. Have you read The Sociopath Next Door?
@3 Chaos and screaming can be fun too. That how some families always do everything.
^@7
Chaos and screaming. It’s how we do at our house. 24/7. Not to mention all the 9-1-1 calls and police sirens.
Nice Photoshoped thumbnail replacement Kevin. Just one suggestion: use the blur tool slightly on the very edges of your cutouts. It’ll make them pop better and appear to be more a part of the main picture instead of layered over. It will. For the two monsters above, I’d use the “darken” blur tool option. (see my channel banner)
Ahhh- Blur. Isn’t there a way to cut and paste pictures so they soften automatically?
^ Not in my obsolete version of Photoshop, but you can check with that guy at My Damn Channel.
I use GIMP for my digital image manipulation needs. It’s almost as powerful as Photoshop and it’s completely free.
^Well sheeeeit, Alexis. Now I have to download GIMP onto my already overburdened hard drive to see if your claims are true. If it’ll do the same stuff I did on my Youtube channel banner (click link), we have a winner!
@13 I’m not sure how easy it is to create the fancy text art (I’ve not tried that before so I don’t know) but it should be able to do everything else you would need to create the banner just fine.
@14
Aw shoot. My laptop and operating system are too old to use any version of GIMP I’ve been able to find and download so far. That’s why I can’t take advantage of Magic Jack too. My stuff is too old.
🙁
putting these two videos together is confusing me, I think my head may explode.
