Another attempt at a trailer for my videos, but still not where I want it to be. The challenge is that most of my videos don’t make sense when you only see a few seconds of them, so it’s hard to decide whether to show 20 seconds of just a few, or go rapid fire footage with music… maybe the answer is a blend.
Surely you remember the deck of “most wanted terrorist playing cards.” Now our very own Jan has come up with The Financial Terrorist card deck. Who wouldn’t want a deck of these on their table? Talk about a conversation starter… that might ultimately end up with a finished box of red wine, some cursing and tears…
Woah. This Wall Street Journal (a print newspaper based in New York City) is coming dangerously close to my “beat” today. They’re clearly running online video stories to see if they can steal from the rapidly growing readership of “Will Video for Food.” I may not be as classy, accurate, easy-to-read or comprehensive. But I’m…
Who says fake viral videos aren’t fun to watch anyway?
The Wilhelm Scream is a stock sound effect first used in the 1951 “Distant Drums.” Wikipedia calls it the “most well known cinematic sound cliches.” It was revived for the Star Wars and Indiana Jones series. Here’s a video collage of some classic movies using the Whilhelm scream. To download the scream click here. Let…
I’m at an industry event yesterday in NYC and I run into the affable Jim Louderback, CEO of Revision3. He follows this little blog occasionally, and we’ve spoken at numerous industry events. (Jim is also cool, geeky and provocative… important attributes of “emerging media mavens”). For no particular reason, I asked him when someone was…
You can touch the grey arrows to the right and left to advance to the next video if you have ADHD. The arrows vanish when you start watching a video, but they’re still there just like God when times are rough. You just can’t see them. Click on the right or left side of the…

Hey… I actually quite like it. Needs a “movie trailer guy” voiceover… “In a world where a camera lens is the eye, and laughter is the voice… One man rises like a Feces from the ashes to restore peace to the Universe… This summer has “Fart” written all over it… and that fart is… Nalts.”
I forgot about the crackberry addict. LOLs. I need to send that to MrsJimmer, she’s been accusing me of doing the same thing.
I made it through the first 15 seconds.
OMG! A trailer?! Aren’t those usually like 30 seconds to a minute long? Whatever happened to your 2 min rule and that was for a complete video!?!
I say rapid fire with music. Oh, and leave the Renetto bit out. I don’t like seeing you without hair. (I don’t mean your everyday balding self either)
=)
@1 That would be awesome!

What the fuck? Why do you need a trailer? You’re making crap. Crap doesn’t deserve a trailer. Only big budget movies get trailers.
@11 Crap needs a trailer. Why else would anyone buy crap?
If you’re talking about making a trailer like a “best of nalts” highlights reel under 2 minutes to show your advertisers, you’ve got to do better than the shit you’ve got in there. Huddle with your peeps for suggestions. And by peeps I mean us.
