    by Jennie Josephson | Jan 23, 2009

    To really appreciate online video's mad stampede into the public consciousness, consider this: it took almost 25 years for streaming media to go from research theory to a nineteen second clip called 'Me at the zoo', the first video posted on the earliest version of YouTube.

    The Lonely Island: They're Ka-Blamo!: How three childhood friends hit the big-time thanks to a camcorder and a modem

    by Anthony Rando | Feb 6, 2009

    The first time I met The Dudes, it was through an e-mail from a friend, a link to their music video, "Jizz in My Pants." I laughed. I nearly cried. I jizzed in my pants. After that, I went on a mission. And by mission, I mean I ignored all other work and the ringing phone to watch just about everything they've ever made. To my surprise, I realized that I'd actually met The Dudes before.

    When Harry Killed Sally: The Post-Op Transgenre Trailer Movement

    by Jonathan M. Silver | Feb 12, 2009

    The latest all-out viral craze is upon us. In basements across the land, self-taught editors are taking short clips from major motion pictures and reconfiguring them into a different kind of movie promo. The catch is that the reorganized footage completely changes the original film's genre. To a new generation of internet fans, The Shining will now be thought of as a coming-of-age romance, while Sleepless in Seattle is a blood-curdling horror film.

  • Top 10 Moments in Professional Athlete Generated Video (PAGV)… of All Time

    by Brendan Lopez | Feb 16, 2009

    It's no secret that consumer generated video (CGV) has spread like wildfire over the past several years. The people making these videos were once primarily tech-savvy individuals, but nowadays, anyone with an Internet connection can easily share their story (or strategically placed screenshot of cleavage) with the world. In the spirit of this month's Superbowl, however, I wanted to call attention to a group of consumer video generators who only rarely get their moment in the web video sun: professional athletes.

    Pure Imagination: An Interview With Stop-Motion Filmmaker PES

    by Marc Ostrick | Feb 18, 2009

    I knew absolutely nothing technically about stop-motion animation until I had the idea for my short film Roof Sex. I studied literature and printmaking in school, not film or animation. I don't think I really knew what a director did until I had to figure out how to make my own film.

    by Melissa Roth | Feb 20, 2009

    In the pilot of Illeana Douglas's web series, Easy to Assemble, a Burbank Ikea employee offers orientation pointers for her famous new co-worker.

    Top 10 Made-For-Internet Oscar Parodies of All Time

    by Brendan Lopez | Feb 24, 2009

    The 81st Academy Awards are now a distant memory, and all of the 24-karat, non-chocolate filled statues (sorry, Queen Latifah) have been distributed to Hollywood elite. The majority of the year's nominated films examined controversial subjects such as sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic church, gay rights, government corruption, and even professional wrestling. However, even though the films took themselves incredibly seriously this past year, we're going to take this opportunity to examine the lighter side of Oscar.
