I’ll get the out takes up soon. They’re much funnier than this spoof of a worker trying to get laid off for the severance. Pretty cool that my real boss agreed to helping on this. And she managed to not crack up once… even while I was eating crayons.
AOL Uncut (AOL’s site for amateur videos) appears to be guilty of technical problems or fraudielent video-view counts. Content creators are recalling that months ago their videos were getting anywhere from 5-15,000 views regularly. Then some weeks ago the view counts were all “reset.” Now most of my videos are getting just dozens of views…
Here’s my Chumby‘s path so far. He can hardly wait to meet me. I hope he’s not to cold in Anchorage. You can track him too. And Sukatra is lying below about the credit card problem, although that did happen with the Mac Book Pro I tried to buy last week. This was my consolation…
The two largest video-sharing sites (YouTube and Hulu) have business models that increasingly limit their ability to act as a complete video search engines. YouTube has been a Google-esque fast tool for finding video clips that are getting offline buzz, but copyright-law enforcement is weakening it (full examples below). And of course Hulu is meant…
Here’s a video from ZDNet that features part of a round table about consumer-generated media at the AlwaysOn Stanford Summit in Palo Alto, Calif. At first I’m bored by Chad. Then Michael kicks in, and I almost think we’ll have an intelligent debate. But it seems like the themes are: YouTube is creating a stage…
Friday I did a “call for crowdsource help” on the YouTube/Comedy research I’m presenting at next week’s ISHS presentation. A big thanks for your comments, and especially to Will Reese. Check out this graphic… Will’s categories (farce, dark, screwball, slapstick, parody, satire) were his own creation, and he found this interesting discover. Over shorter periods…
I spent most of Sunday working on a 1-minute claymation video that included about 1,000 individual pictures, and hours of camera moves, clay squishing, editing and voiceover. Here’s the result, titled “Butter Attack.” This was inspired when yesterday morning, David (WhistlersBrother) sent me his song titled “Binny’s Bop,” which reminds me of the Bobby McFarlin…

That had a Klingeresque Mash-like feel to it with an Office Space vibe. Nice job.
That guy who allowed his tie to go in the shredder was a brave soul. He could have died!
Thanks- someone did suggest I wear a Klinger dress, but I thought that might come back to haunt me.
I tested the tie shredder bit before doing it, and assured him that there’s no “pull” effect. At any point, you can pull the tie out. He had to fake like it was bringing him into the shredder, in fact. The minute he sat up it’s released. It was his idea to walk by with the mini tie in a later segment.
