The idea hit a few days ago: as well as writing about having bipolar disorder as part of this blog’s Being Bipolar series, that I could also do video entries as a supplement to the written material.
So today I went out and got a webcam and… well, here’s the first one!
I intend to also record myself if/when a bipolar episode hits, and post the unedited footage of me talking about what it’s like.
Expect more videos soon!...
A guy named “petermolyneux2” on YouTube has… well he might have some issues, if his short film “Nintendo: A Sad Story” is any indication. I’ve watched this three times now, trying to make sense of what exactly I’m looking at. And now I CAN’T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD!! No sound sleep for me tonight.
No sound sleep for you either, maybe, if you choose to let enter your gray matter this clip that surely must resemble what the 1993 Super Mario Brothers movie would have been had Neil Gaiman written the script…
I ain’t seen the new Hawaii Five-O series on CBS yet, but I bet it’s got nothing on what my lifelong best friend Chad Austin did when he visited the Aloha State a few months ago! Turns out that he’s been holding back on me and has been doing some filmmaking of his own: witness this AWESOME spoof of the opening credits from the original Hawaii Five-O series!
Speaking of Chad, I’ve heard that people who’ve seen The People vs. George Lucas have really enjoyed his portrayal of George Lucas from our film Forcery (clips of which appear in the award-winning documentary). And Chad swears that he’s going to start blogging again soon. Maybe we are witnessing a new cinematographer in the making? 🙂...
Read about it here on YouTube’s official blog. In layman’s terms, this is more than FOUR times the resolution of 1080P high-def video.
And for some reason, YouTube made sure to note that “IMAX movies are projected through two 2k resolution projectors”.
Ummmm… why is YouTube doing this? I haven’t a clue. Perhaps someone could enlighten me about this. Because I’m having a very hard time imagining why anyone would need to display video at 4096 x 2304 (do they even make monitors that big?).
Heck, I’ve seen 1080P projected onto a regular-sized movie screen, and it looked just as good as regular film. Not really sure what mainstream purpose 4K could be serving at the moment....
About three years ago, this blog’s eclectic proprietor had to learn awful fast and hard about Viacom and its dispute with YouTube. If you recall, if you worked it out in your head then logically Viacom was accusing me of violating my own copyright after Viacom took my work without permission and used it for a show on VH1, and then accused ME of copyright infringement for posting the clip of that onto YouTube.
Well, I won that case as best I can imagine an individual could take on such a huge corporation and eke out a victory (again, thanks in no small measure to the good people at the Electronic Frontier Foundation). And I’ve been keeping an eye on Viacom ever since. One of the things that has galled me most is how Viacom and its mega-hypocrite of a CEO Sumner Redstone have shown such disdain toward ...
Remember that AMAZING music video of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” that the Muppets did a few months ago? Well, there’s now this follow-up with audio commentary by Kermit the Frog.
Suffice it to say, this doesn’t go well…
By the way, “Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody” has been nominated in the categories of Best Viral and Best Music Video for this year’s Webby Awards!...
This is gonna be a helluva fun thing to watch. I’m getting the popcorn ready even now…
Media conglomermonster Viacom – which has tied up the video hosting service in litigation for the past three years over “copyright infringement” – is now said to have been secretly uploading its own videos to the Google-owned website!
From the statement on the official YouTube blog, pertaining to court documents made public earlier today…
...Because content owners large and small use YouTube in so many different ways, determining a particular copyright holder’s preference or a particular uploader’s authority over a given video on YouTube is difficult at best. And in this case, it was made even harder by Viacom’s own practices.
For years, Viacom continuously and secretly uploaded its content to YouTube, even while publicly complaining about its presence there. It hired no fewer than 18 different marketing agencies to upload its
This one’s going out to all of y’all who are fans of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica. A dude named Katamaran78 on YouTube has created this amazing video using clips from the show and the song “Sabotage” by the Beastie Boys. The result? A spectacular shot-for-shot Galactica-style interpretation of Spike Jonez’s classic music video.
Here ’tis…
There are bunches of “Sabotage” mash-ups floating around, but this one is probably the best that I’ve seen yet (and I never even really watched Battlestar Galactica… but this video is making me want to check it out 🙂...
If you are at work, make darned sure that the boss isn’t watching. If you have small children, make them leave the room. Because this is without a doubt one of the most disturbing, filthy, and inappropriate videos that I have ever seen in my life!
But there’s no denying it: “Weird Al” Yankovic has gone where none of us thought he would ever go before, and made a sexually titillating video that defies all standards of decency.
Have you got what it takes to see Weird Al in an act of supreme self-abasement? Have you?!?
Because if you do…
Remember: You have been warned....
What happens when Beaker attempts a cover of “Dust in the Wind” by Kansas? In a word: “BURNINATION!”
