What happens when you have go glide a camera along a giant table of entres and deserts, and the director keeps saying “keep low.” Smack- the camera hits a creme puffs, and a few other sweets before the spot is done.
“A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Profiterole,” an article in the recent DV magazine written by Stefan Sargent, recounts the blunder that took place while shooting a spot for Alveston Kitchens.
If you’ve seen one lip synch music video you’ve seen them all. Except for this one. Good luck getting this song out of your head. And will someone explain what the Colgate tube is about? I’ll bet if the WSJ did some digging they’d find out P&G funded this.
I try to stick to video in this blog, but I’m allowed to wander because there’s no advertising and I’m only paid zero dollars per word. That’s why I write long posts. It’s more profitable. So now I’m going to predict your personality based on one question. What happens in Monopoly when someone lands on “free…
Despite this gloomy IDC report (AdAge) about online-advertising contracting, online video will flourish. And I’m not the only guy who thinks so. IDC’s director for digital media and entertainment, Karsten Weide, tells AdAge that online advertising spending will be soft the first half of 2009 (but online advertising will do better than the economy at large)….
Stop. Do not read another word before pausing for 15 seconds. Really. Okay. How’d that feel? Chances are you ignored the advice, and perhaps it compelled you to defiantly plunge ahead with more interest. After all, the headline promised 4 generations, and that usually begs the question “what were the first three?” But I made…
Well we’re no fan of preroll ads, but apparently cinema ads rank among the top media categories for audience attention (source: Jack Myers’ DailyMediaData.com). Oh, the findings are sourced to sponsor Screenvision.com. We’re not sure, but we suspect the test group included 24 male employees of Screenvision who just finished watching a trailer of hot chicks…
… be hurting you. Why do keep writing about video search-engine optimization? Your viewers or customers are increasingly using specific terms in their search, and including the word “video” into searches more than the word “sex.” In the past 5 years the term “how to” has grown steadily as a search phrase (Google analytics). Eye…

LOL, wth?
Now I’m hungry. That can of Dept of Agriculture surplus compressed pink salmon chunks in our cupboard doesn’t look so appetizing any more.
i couldn’t pull up the article but the ad was brilliant.
Living in Wisconsin, my camera hits a cream puff almost every time I film a video.
It looked like a turd on the lens.
Hey robnickel, your comment actually made me laugh!
It was going really well until that stack of chocolate-covered cream puffs. I didn’t read the article, but it looks like when that happened he just let loose and intentionally gaffed up the rest of the shot.
It’s actually remarkably hilarious. The first hit made me chuckle, and by the cake-covered lens at the end I was laughing hysterically.
Still, the incident probably left a permanent mark on the camera. “No, I can’t open my aperture any further-it’s got bits of cream puff stuck in it!”
I’m hungry now. I am also on a diet. You are very cruel, Uncle Nalts.
