Oh- I’m not talking about the elections. I’m so tired of campaign ads I avoid the television like it was a telemarketer with the Ebola virus. But your vote counts in the Vloggies. Thanks to faithful WVFF reader PC, I’ve discovered that someone nominated this very unfunny blog in the category of Comedy Vlogs. Is…
The bloggersphere is deeply upset about the fact that Viacom has removed Comedy Central’s content from YouTube, especially the work of Stephen Colbert. A “wag of the finger” from WillVideoForFood.com to Colbert, who was among the most popular of YouTube’s celebrities until this went down. Colbert has embraced the web and consumer-generated media — encouraging fans to…
First we had VHS delivery. Then we shrunk to create video for kiosks. Later we adapted video to fit a tiny window for 56K modems. And guess what? Except for performance speeds and better resolution, we’re still working with relatively the same video size despite a decade of web. Even worse, cell phones are going…
Want to see something amazing? I can make you yawn. Probably not just once but for a few minutes. All you have to do is click this link which leads you to a Google Images search for the word yawn. You’ll see photos of people, animals and babies yawning. Let me know if it works….
Despite the build-up, the new EepyBird Diet Mentos Coke video wasn’t quite what many expected. It’s hardly approached the views of the original (250K by last count on Google Video). This ZDnet “MicroMarkets” piece praised the duo (Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz) and provides some interesting context. Yet while the ratings of the video are…
Murphy had his laws, so here is Nalts’ first law. You’re usually out of ideas when you have time to shoot, but loaded with video ideas when there’s no time to make videos. If you’re ever in the former state, it’s time to bookmark a new blog, Release Your Inner Zombie. This Austin filmmaker and…
We’ve seen lots of YouTube cheaters, but I believe this is the first company that has boldly announced it will cheat YouTube. Driven by disappointing view counts on YouTube and a shameless desire to self promotion, EndlessEurope’s Matt Dickinson writes the following on a comment (edited slightly below for clarity) here on WillVideoforFood.com: My company has decided to…
I wanted this 2-minute ad to be 5-minutes. Ellen Degeneres stars in this Amex ad featuring animals as her colleagues. It’s better than most content. Absolutely nothing about Amex until the end. But it ties right back to the integrated campaign and it’s as viral as they come. If you’re trying to make yourself sick…
F%@# the movies is a new anti film critic show, with what it says are “blunt, ridiculous, hilarious, profanity-laced reviews” delivered courtesy two Hollywood comedians Ben Hoffman and Craig Anstett. In this pilot episode our intrepid critics tear a new one for Infamous, The Marine, Man of the Year, and The Grudge. Note- WillVideoforFood readers…
LittleLoco identifies some “YouTube” cheaters. Gaming the system by downloading software that replays their own video over and over. Creating multiple identities and rating yourself. And somehow getting 100 subscribers a day even with no new videos. Things that make you go “hmmmmm….” (LittleLoco’s video courtesy of Matt from EndlessEurope.com).
