The Personal Sacrifice of Making Videos (Hunting Series)
People often ask how I have time to make so many short videos. The truth is, it typically takes about 1-2 hours per edited minute of a video. This depends, of course, on how packaged a video is (and packaging doesn’t always equate with the “viralness” of the piece. This time includes conceiving, scripting, shooting,…
YouTube Changes Algorithm: Are Amateurs Losing?
YouTube clearly changed its algorithm for getting views. As you can see in the chart below, I’ve dropped from 320,000 views per day to 80,000. That’s a nice number, but 25% what it was just months ago. I was on a nice streak for a few months, and before that was anywhere from 100,000 to 400,000. I…

“The problem isn’t cost, it’s revenue,” writes WatchMojo CEO Ashkan Karbashfrooshan in a MediaPost story titled “What Revision3’s Sale Means for the Online Video Industry.” Indeed while I’ve long urged marketers and media providers to keep costs down for online video, that’s because revenue (via ad-sharing) is modest and dependent on finding an audience.

Yes.
aw. I wish I was on the news. Rest assured, if I were as newsworthy as this, my montage video would probably be 100X more egotistical. That’s some stuff to be proud of there, Nalts.
Hank is in the other room saying “Bad bad bad. No no no. thbb thbb thbb. I am dead.”
That Nalts. What a loser.
@4: Definitely NOT a loser. Just a little too full of himself.
Couldn’t get it to stream. This was the worst-streamed video I’ve ever seen. Blip or WordPress?
@6: Worked fine for me.
You have the gift of humility.
ok then.
Actually I was in the news last week “clicks”
@6 It was blip. Bad blip? @3 Yes I was touching my wee wee.
You totally almost got us BOTH yelled at today when you chose to try and make me watch this instead of doing our chores.

I’m using the latest version of Firefox, the current version of Flash Player, the latest version of Quicktime and have high speed internet and I still can’t get this video to stream past the intro.
OMG! Isn’t that like the same news clip chopped up into like 50 pieces? I surrendered to your absurdity eons ago!
Best part of the clip was WoN!
ok, ok…I liked it! =)
Finally got the player to work. This is a much better trailer than your “Trailer” trailer. Trailer…just like saying that..trailer..
