Private Voting Moment… Posted for World

ByNalts

Someone will be doing a news story about idiot voters, and they’ll need some b-roll. Here you go. My private vote broadcast to the world. You know, I thought for sure they’d bust me with the camera. So I even had a spare tucked in my pocket. Nobody cared. One lady asked me if I was posting it, and I promised her it wouldn’t end up on TubeYou. Forgot to include that clip, or me telling the volunteer I was only there to offset my wife’s vote.

I’m just glad it’s all over. I’m going to really enjoy the top 100 highest rated videos for the next four years.

In a great moment of irony, Sarah Palin just left me a voicemail while I was typing this. I’m not sure it was really her, though. She didn’t call me buttercup like she normally does.

You know what’s odd? I’ve read 50 comments and it’s as if nobody has yet recognized that I stuck a random shot of me dressed as a black guy in the middle.(Update: YouTube Reviewed spotted it. Be sure to read my comment on the blog if this thumbnail offends you, whitey).

Shooting Video Testimonials

Here’s a nice article titled “how to shoot a video testimonial.” (Ken McCarthy, SystemVideoBlog.com). Great tips about getting a subject comfortable and asking questions that will prompt positive comments. This article reminded me that making “amateur video shorts” violates almost everything I ever learned working at PBS and doing my own small productions. I’ve never…

Your Uncle Nalts will be talking about viral video and marketing at the Yahoo! “Big Screen, Little Screen” event July 9 in Toronto, Canada. My topic is “The Secrets of Viral Video Marketing.” The funny part is that I was a late edition because Dan Ackerman Greenberg couldn’t make it. Seriously. I couldn’t make something…

Pharmaceuticals and Humor? Check out the Trade Mag

ByNalts

So you know I like to market pharmaceuticals? I know what you’re thinking… commercials complex language and frightening “side effects.” But frankly I’d like to see all ads “fair balanced” like Rx ones. “This Toyota is moving forward, but we didn’t really test the breaks.” Best Buy’s convenience is over-shadowed by its higher prices and…

  5. You listened to me on twitter when I told you today to make a voting video, didn’t you? Plus I do believe at some point today I requested some drama from you. Oh yeah, that’s right, when I told you to let out your inner diva on that stupid hookup show and ignore the director’s advice.

    Yeah, you TOTALLY delivered for me today. I owe you big time. This next few days is gonna be fun. For me, at least.

    P.S. Awesome comments on the youtubereviewed blog.

    P.S.S. I actually do know this was all a total coincidence and not influenced by me at all. But let’s pretend otherwise. My ego needs it.

  6. @5 Sukatra- I await your new directive. My master must know, however, that I created and edit YouTube Reviewed to chastise myself so I’d have drama. Occasionally I have to write about other people, which can get so mundane.

  10. No one even noticed that I had a camera in the booth. My booth didn’t even have a curtain. I had a miniature nun on wheels mark my ballot for me. She voted for Obama.

  13. @ 12- Ask BSoN for one. They have wheels too. We raced them. If you make a video with it before I edit mine I will have to kick your ass though.
