  The Lonely Island Medley

  
  (TV Clip)
  [ 2:53 - from 1% For The Planet ]

  It only required one bleep, a 25-member orchestra, an Academy-Award winner, and a Broadway choreographer – but viral video finally got the prime time gala salute it deserved. From the operatic “Jizz in My Pants” performance by LeAnn Rimes to the baritone “Dick in a Box” by Forest Whitaker, this Lonely Island parody really classed up the MTV Movie Awards. Too bad Eminem was still sterilizing his face. y Forest Whitaker, this Andy Samberg Medley really classed up the MTV Movie Awards. Too bad Eminem was still sterilizing his face.  view

  GameFly Commercial

  (Advertisements)
  [ 0:39 - from YouTube ]

  The latest viral ad from GameFly - the world's leading online video game rental service, is stripped down, scriptless and is the core essence of their longer commercial. The short shows the power of good editing and well-placed title cards that illuminate the stages of exhilarahition that quickly devolves into pure rage when you purchase a video game you THINK is going to rock. This ad is a lesson to all ad agencies out there reminding them that brevity is the soul of wit.  view

  Joss Whedon on Dr. Horrible and How Writers Can Control Their Own Destinies in New Media

  (Behind the Scenes)
  [ 5:05 - from YouTube ]

  I'm a self-confessed Joss Whedon fan(atic), and his body of work speaks for itself, so I hung on every word of this video where he offers advice and insights for writers who are trying to forge ahead in new media. My favorite nugget was, "If something is entertaining enough, people will watch it until it is over." And as it turns out, I'm more like the storytelling master than I thought because he claims that all you need to do to be like him is stop working out and get no sleep. Check and check. Long live new media! view

  Francis Ford Coppola Introduces "Tetro"

  (Feature Film Extensions)
  [ 1:49 - from YouTube ]

  A master filmmaker vlogs. Coppola aims a camcorder at himself and describes his new film "Tetro" in his Napa Valley office. I like when he says he has a lot of stuff he should be working on, but isn't. I know how you feel, Francis. view

  Yo Teach...!: EPK

  (Feature Film Extensions)
  [ 2:34 - from YouTube ]

  It would take someone the size of Judd Apatow to pull this off. As part of the launch of July’s “Funny People” film with Universal, corporate cousin NBC has rolled out a fake sitcom online, “Yo Teach!” starring one of the film’s stars, Jason Schwartzman, who apparently plays a (cheesy, I wear my sunglasses inside) actor in the film. A riff on everything from “Welcome Back Kotter” to “That’s So Raven,” the clips of the faux-com are just realistic enough to make you wonder if it might actually show up on the network. (Schwartzman's bunny “hip hop" and reference to the baddest rapper of all time, Sha-Sha-Sha Shakespeare, should give it away...but maybe not.) The show even gets an EPK, a Facebook fan site, and DVD ordering info at the Universal’s store…but hmm, it’s already “sold out”?  view

  JC Penney: Beware of the Doghouse

  (Branded Entertainment)
  [ 4:44 - from YouTube ]

  Something to keep in mind any holiday season, anniversary, or birthday. Makes gift-giving feel like "Prison Break" meets "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Fun, intriguing. A little long but worth it. view
