Online videos have taken over the world. Websites like YouTube, places like your local Supermarket, and anywhere else with a flat screen on the wall can showcase online video content. The word viral has become commonplace, and today’s celebrities are not just famous actors or rock stars; they are multi-hyphenate average Joes who have access to cameras and computers. “What’s a “multi-hyphenate,” you ask? It’s an empowered, multi-talented, Internet savvy artist who creates, produces, and distributes original online video content.

There isn't much music on Music Television anymore. The web and the transformation of the music industry have changed the way music videos are created. Bands that used to receive heavy rotation on MTV (ex. Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails) are now holding contests, asking the fans to create their next official videos. Old school music videos used to have budgets that funded explosions, dancing models, and fancy camera work, while fan-made music videos make the most of what they have to work with. Let's take a look at the cream of the crop.

The kickass opening montage is a dead art form, but thanks to Neil Patrick Harris' remarks at the Emmys, we're reminded that there's more to the 80s than big hair and Cosby sweaters. Budget constraints, allegiance to story, and short attention spans have deleted badass opening montages from contemporary TV shows. Take a look at the opening to LOST... That title would have exploded through a brick wall if it was made in the 80s. Case in point: Monk had to spoof the Magnum P.I. opening montage in order to boost their ratings. Take a look at the evidence. TV ain't what it used to be. Let's pay tribute to shows that deliver on everything that an opening montage demands: explosions, a fist pumping theme song, and firearms.

Marc Ostrick and I continue our adventure into emerging tech with a return trip to Vegas for the 2010 International Consumer Electronic Show (CES). We're on a mission to take the lessons learned from our previous outings at Blog World Expo, The Twitter Conference, and The TWiT Cottage and apply them to actually building a live streaming HD studio with Robert Scoble. Robert, Marc and I have been monitoring the increasing approach to the horizon point of ubiquitous media delivery systems. It won't be long until the line between web and traditional media is greatly blurred. We will soon be watching web content in HD through an abundance of low cost options like Boxee. CES is a complete sensory overscan, but we remained focused in our search for the products and tech that would be the right fit for a live HD streaming studio, built on a budget.
