Youtube has been offering “Director” accounts for some time now. The guys who sign up for them, have the the dubious benefit of having a director logo appear on their account.
There’s no doubt some of these are REAL directors. The director logo, however, raises the bar somewhat in terms of expectations. I expect these are […]

Seth Godin has a post about luck in which he gets away with claiming the LUCK plays a more and more important role in today’s marketing.
Take the case of Levi Strauss & Co. This company was lucky, plain and simple. It makes a garment that was the clothing of choice for a generation of free-spending […]

I posted Guy Kawasaki’s Art of the Start video yesterday. Today I got the PDF with the slides he was going through.
Download: Guy Kawasaki - Art of the Start
Please note that his eleventh point is different in this presentation. At the TiECon, his eleventh point was about bozosities.

Guy Kawasaki did a book called Art of the Start. He posts about that in his blog as well.
This time, however, he has a video out. Both instructional and entertaining.

The speach was delivered at TiECon 2006. Another speaker was Arnold Schwarzenegger. Instead of his keynote, I urge you to watch his appearance on CBC […]

Machinima has been brought to a new level with all the emotes that Blizzard introduced in World of Warcraft. I recently posted a machinima that was done as a little musical.
Now comes my all-time favorite: Not just another Love Story
Warning: Graphic sex scenes!

My two favorite scenes are the one “in da club” (@5:30) […]

Obviously, they are not embracing it in any big way but there are quite a few video over at Google’s. There are some vintage ones as well, like this one from Arnold Schwarzenegger - circa 1975.
Now, normally, I should be able to SHARE the video by pasting some code below. Unfortunately, CBC doesn’t want that, […]

I just caught Tim Burton’s Ed Wood on TV. This took me back to my college days when I first saw it. I remember that my buddies and me would go into spontaneous Bela Lugosi improvisations: “I vill create a race of atomic supermen who vill rule the Vorld!”
Looking at it now, I can’t help […]

This is a crazy idea to be sure. In a normal video production, the rule of thumb is that you shoot in the highest possible quality and THEN downgrade it in post. There’s little point to shoot with a webcam even if you have sequence that needs to LOOK like a webcam.
My webcam is a […]

Here’s a tricky question: how do you know you’ve come to a party too late?
Answer: When you see that the people who came in first are leaving.
In a way, Amanda’s leaving the blogging world is a sign of maturity. The reasons are not entirely clear. According to one post:
Rocketboom producer Andrew Baron says he […]

Seth Godin has a post about marketing Heroes. Here’s a paragraph from his post:
Often unconsciously, we use these marketing heroes to help us make decisions. We model our decisions after the ones we think they would make. What would Richard Branson do? What would David Ogilvy do? What would my dad do?
Amazing! He got all […]
