Week 10
This week I was sick and being really lazy so I didn’t really touch an computers.
We’ve been talking about our second assignments and I think that I want to make a video for Youtube about youtube. Maybe like a stop motion type video taking photos. I’ll make up a small set and just use paper and a pen to show what I want to. Or video tape it and cut it all up in an editing program. The only thing is that to make this look good will be very hard.
It’s going to be about how a short video thats meant to be a joke becomes country wide famous within a week! Then all of your friends quote the video and it’s a competition to see who has watched it the most times.
Trent from Punchbowl. this video became so famous over youtube i don’t think i know anyone that doesn’t say “coppers, coppers punch em in the face” whenever they see a police car. it started out as just a little skit that some people put on youtube. They tried to pull it off as being a real person with a disability but eventually the truth came out that he was acting. However within a week or two it had millions of hits and some people had watched countless numbers of times. How it got so famous, i don not know.
Another one is that “beached whale” animation. This video wasn’t as successful as Trent but it is definitely up there. The number of quotes and lines that came out of it was ridiculous. There were people out there that could recite the whole thing.
