Daily Reel Comedy: All My Exes

Josh Spector
Posted

New York comedian Chelsea Peretti has been doing some great stuff with SuperDeluxe and her latest creation might be our favorite so far. It's the first in what we assume will be a new series of videos titled "All My Exes" in which Chelsea sits down with one of her ex-boyfriends to conduct and in-depth interview.

I suppose now youtube has ads only in partner vids, a lot more partners will be signed up. Have many people recently been contacted?

I'm interested to know who will produce these video ads? Is this an opportunity for content creators to make ads that tie in with their content?

What do people think, would it be selling out to produce online content, and then video ads to match?

Daily Reel Comedy: The Tease

Ok, here's the deal. You've come up with a "brilliant" concept for a new web series and you're getting ready to roll it out, but you want to give people a little taste of what they can expect and start to build the "buzz" for your new creation. Time to release a teaser clip. There's a lot of ways to do this, but one of our favorite recent teasers is this one which came out today for comedian Bert Kreischer's upcoming series "White Gorilla." Can't say I'm sure what it's going to be, but I can say this teaser is funny and definitely arouses some curiosity - among other things.

Daily Reel Comedy: TubeMogul To The Rescue?

Josh Spector
Posted

Ok, so once you've finished creating your latest comedic masterpiece the next question is how do you get it seen by the masses? I'm a big proponent of posting your videos anywhere and everywhere, but I've also got to admit it can be a real pain in the ass to upload a video onto 20 different sites. Finally, somebody's taking steps to remedy that hassle.

Tubemogul has just launched a universal uploader which theoretically allows you to upload your video one time and it will magically appear on seven different video sites (like the Youtube, Myspace, and Revvers of the world). Plus, it also gives you one-stop shopping for tracking your views and assorted other statistics that you use to re-assure yourself of your talent.

Haven't tried the uploader yet myself, but it looks promising. If anybody out there has taken it for a spin already, let us know what you thought of it....

Music Videos: Music Video competitions-- Good or Bad?

Categories: Online Video Movies

What does everyone think of all the music video contests bands are hosting nowadays? I thought it was a good idea at first, but now everybody's doing them, and it just seems like an easy way for record companies to get music videos for free. The contest I partook in was run pretty badly-- they didn't even tell me I was a finalist. It took someone else to find it online and tell me.

On one hand, it's a great way for people to go out there and get their work seen. On the other hand, it seems like if this trend continues, even less money will be available for even less people to make music videos.

What does everyone else think?
