We’re excited about the blossoming trends in consumer-generated advertising (after all, that’s why we’re here, workin’ hard for you guys!), so it’s great to see Conan O’Brian throwing his own video contest. Well, okay, he’s lampooning it, but hey, it could happen!

No, this isn’t about online video, but it is about advertising! And man, this is cool.

This music video for The Bird and The Bee goes to show, you don’t even need a camera these days to make a cool video. Oh, I know, I know, they used their web cam, but still…

Man, I’m a huge fan of stop motion animation. Especially the pixilation (or ‘live action’) videos made with a still camera. Using a digital camera for this effect is super easy, though setting it up and making the final product look smooth is something else.
Check out Nokia’s new ‘viral’ ad. It’s a really great example of the form (but no, this one was not easy to make):

I just can’t help myself from sharing this with you guys:
I guess my point here is that in this day in age you can make ads out of anything. It’s all about the mashup these days - taking bits and pieces of culture and media and slapping them together in a whole new way. Awesome.

It’s a no brainer to look to a guy like Michel Gondry for inspiration. The man’s been blowing the doors of visual creativity for years. He’s a genius (see Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind), but how about this awesomeness!? He went ahead and remade his own trailer for his upcoming film Be Kind Rewind. So DIY, so fun, so lo-fi! We love it. See, you don’t need a million bucks to make a commercial. (Thanks for the tip, IndyMogul!)

AOL News did a great job recently mashing up a bunch of viral video memes into a new commercial for their news site. Pretty funny stuff! Really, you can’t go wrong rehashing (or better yet, making fun of) pop culture. I love the tag line, “15 minutes can seem like a lifetime. Catch up with your favorite flashes in a pan on AOL News!” What viral videos do you think would work well as a mashup or a remix for a commercial?
