Loyal WVFF commenter, Sukatra, referred to Ambien as the “Nectar of the Gods.” We agree. We’re reminded of this video, which I wanted to embed via Revver (as opposed to the YouTube version) just because I feel like it. And Google found it first. But alas WordPress thinks it’s better than Revver. I did this…
No I’m just kidding. Television isn’t dead yet (but I’ll let you know when it is). You didn’t waste money on that high definition set, and you advertising executives still have a little shelf life. But here’s a new tidbit of research that verifies that online-video consumption is eating into our television viewing time. Courtesy…
It pains me to see so few views on YouTube for something this well written, acted and edited. It’s called “Font Conference” and it’s a great personification of the fonts we know so well. Baskerville Old Face and Bookman OId Style duke it out. Arial Black feels discriminated. Wide Italian played by an overeating fat…
When I think about uploading a video to YouTube, I envision five audiences: The people I know in online video- fellow creators and members of the online-video community. Permanent record: is the video going to be a tattoo I might regret? Will it cause my kids or family any embarrassment that I haven’t already inflicted? The folks…
A “trip” down memory lane thanks to hours of YouTube searching and RetruJunk.com Electric Company Intro Zoom Then there’s HR Puffnstuff (see Drugachussets parody). Reading Rainbow (Rhett and Link do a great version of this) Land of the Lost intro Little House on the Prairie (Jo loved it, I hated it) The Muppet Show
Are you really, really bored? No- I mean SUPAH FREAKY bored? Okay then here’s a challenge. Make a montage out of these nearly 100 video replies to my “bore me” challenge (where more than a year ago I invited people to make 30-second videos that reach into their inner bore). I’ll feature your montage here…
My babysitter’s cat got featured on YouTube’s animal section. So doesn’t that mean babysitterofnalts has to name it Nalts? In similar news, I used her dog Rusty to fetch views too. People, desperate times call for desperate measures. I have cute pets and I’m not afraid to use them.
Speaking of the perpetual conflict between climbing the splintered ladder as a full-time salaried marketer versus plunging deep into the cool ocean of online video… here’s a note from a (successful) friend who suggests consulting full-time with brands in the online-video space. It’s one of those notes you don’t get every day. I think this is…
Thanks to MCase (loyal WillVideoforfood reader) for pointing out Knol. This is Google’s answer to Ask.com or Wikipedia, where you can write about a subject and share in advertising revenue if anybody cares to read it (and is so bored by it that they click the text ads and stop). Here’s my knol biography, and…
If someone ever asks you to define creativity, just play this video and save yourself a lot of words. It’s called Spaghetti Western by PEZ.
