Star Poptent creators, GreenSkyMedia just put up a really sweet video detailing how they went about creating their Beck’s Beer assignment video! So awesome of them! I love when our creators go ‘above and beyond’! Check it out:
Videos don’t get much cooler than this. Director Bang-yao Liu’s school project is really tearing up the viral video charts, for good reason. Just take 6000 Post-it Notes, and spend some time with your buddies locked in a room for four days and this is what you get…
This is my senior project at Savannah College of Art and Design. Where my idea comes from is that every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those post-it notes and deadline. I manipulating the post-it notes to do pixel-like stop motion and there are some interactions between real actor and post-its.

And how lucky are we that he made a ‘making of’ video, too!
A friend of mine passed this video on to me this morning. Five side-splitting commercials for (now defunct) Ameriquest Mortgage, each with a similar witty punch line. What I love about these is how simple they are. Nothing fancy here, just a tight script and a few clever shots.
Of course, the irony of these spots (and their message) in light of current events is a bit, um, rich. But all things being equal, these commercials are quite amusing as stand-alone stories.
T-Mobile in the UK signed up a couple hundred of their free spirited folks and taught them a dance. Then went into the middle of the Liverpool train station and did it spontaniously, filmed it and posted it to YouTube. Gotta love when people dance together! And look! How easy would it be to make this with a couple hundred of your closest friends?
Okay, I know - that’s a long shot for 99.9% of you. But I had to think of some catchy title, didn’t I? Well, how about this. I’ll change it to “Creative Inspiration: Surrealistic Humor”. How’s that?
Absolut Vodka did the right thing. They hired Zack and his friends to make some ultra-surrealist humor. And I, for one, was ROFL! Observe:
Hat tip to my brother Dave for IMing this link to me (hey, you got funny commercials? Send ‘em my way!). Watch all three in the series here.
Man, crazy stunts. You just can’t go wrong with them! Yes, this is totally fake. But how cool is it?
It’s actually a ‘viral video’ for Gatorade. Not sure how the drink fits into this, but I just love watching it again and again. And sharing with you. Ergo - she’s viral, baby!
