How to edit a video-part3-(vulgarity).

Violent, Painful & Controversial – please note – the above video should not be viewed by minors or anyone with  nervous disposition’s.

Continuing in the vein of most popular videos, we have noticed that on many video forum sites, such as vewgle, the most viewed category has been in the Violent, Painful & Controversial section.    Being music and movie buffs, we find it hard to understand – why?

Maybe there are enough music and movie vids on Youtube to satisfy most needs, then people turn to the forums to view the controversial vids, as an escape.

We created the above video as a test.    Disgusting  vomiting  scenes from Monty Python’s  -   Mr Creosote – the brain slicing scene from Silence of the lambs and Travis throwing food around a dinner table in their song – ‘Sing’, were spliced together and dished up for controversy.    It has been suggested that the video could be used as a dietary aid, as after viewing, no normal person would consider eating a meal.

If you wish to view this video, please consider it as an example of what is a popular viewing vehicle.    We do not condone this type of video ourselves – view it with a sense of humor, in the understanding of popular genre.

How to edit a video-Part 2- (viewing types).

Before we get into the nitty gritty of how to edit any video, we should look into viewing popularity. Unfortunately (being a proud father), I have to admit, that ‘SEX’ on the internet is highly viral – excuse the pun.

As we covered in ‘The definitive video jockeys guide’ available freely on the digitalblue2u profile on Youtube. Whilst not delving into pornography – sexy videos, allied to a little humor is very popular, even with the ladies, because it is harmless fun.

Major brewing manufacturers have realized this factor, which has resulted in the advertisements, collated in the video we compiled in December 2007. Complete adsence primed websites, dedicated to funny commercials are flourishing today.

This fact alone – just by adding one or two fun vids onto a website, can keep your visitor amused enough to remain and continue viewing your pages.

How to edit a video-Part1(Soundtracks).

As Street Kings (the movie), has hit TV & satellite advertising, the boys in the smoke filled room, dug up a twisted teaser that I made a while back. Questions were asked on what music did I use for the soundtrack. This is an embarrassment to me as – quite simply, I cannot recall the tunes. I was off my head at the time of creating – cut the track from an open source DJ mix, loved it and used it on the Street Kings trailer and also on an interpretation of – The real American gangster.

First up, my apologies must go to Fox Searchlight for messing about with their original soundtrack on the photo section of the video. However, being a video jockey, the need to create something different from the original, is paramount to a VJ production.

Once you have mastered the basics of video editing, what separates you from the amateurs is the ability to VISUALIZE. Take any sequence of any movie or TV show – walk away from it, then in your subconscious mind, imagine what soundtrack would compliment the visuals. This is the process of visualization, and when you master that, you shall achieve.

Web 2.0 technology – Mefeedia?

The hastily made video above from Breakthroughmarketinggroup, highlights  internet marketing analysis methods.    In other words, how, by utilizing video presentation, within a campaign, can spiral search engine results.

Our own research has evolved from the actual presentation and delivery of  videos, and we shall continue to strive for further improvement.

Congratulations of the day, must go to Mefeedia though.     Through further funding, they have now made it possible to search 15.000 hosting sites for any particular footage you desire to find.     This is a sure fire indication that web 2.0 technology development  is expanding by leaps and bounds.

Web marketing-clever hoax?

Lessons can be learned from the promo guys in the movie and games industry.    The hype building up to the new Batman movie has resulted in journalists and reviewers, receiving free mobile phones – implanted into iced cakes.    On breaking into the cakes and discovering the phone – switching on, they are instructed to rendezvous at a secret meeting place, where they were to be given instructions  and transport to a trailer premier.

Of course the journalists and reviewers loved this ploy and promptly relayed their thoughts to their listeners.    Excellent promos like that are worth far more than expensive affairs.

Recently, our spy’s uncovered an elaborate hoax set in the style of a games to movie trailer by IGN.   We went along with the April fools day hoax and reproduced the trailer of The legend of Zelda in the German language (as above).     View the trailer and observe the release date at the end.

We do hope you learn from this lesson folks. 

 

Web marketing-Global distribution?

Movie producers are the finest example of distributing their product worldwide. They create a buzz on new productions by releasing teasers, in the form of trailers. Press releases and sneak peeks of posters and photos are timed to lead up to the actual movie release. The same buzz tactics are employed by game makers and record distributors.

Whilst remaining on the multilingual theme, we must ask ourselves – are they doing enough to whet the appetites of their expected worldwide audience? Fox Searchlight has actually produced a website to promote the new Street Kings movie, due to be released April 11th. All credit must go to Fox for creating the amazing intro that we have reproduced with German scroll subtitles.

This reproduction maybe repeated in other languages if permission is granted.

Circle of Life- Multilingual version – by Leyoria (Youtube).

The movie – Lion King- personifies the meaning of communication in the circle of life. An understanding that we should all embrace. Online communities are growing steadily through web 2.0 and social networking.

This chart from glreach.com provides an insight into online language populations, from sept 2004. Note that ‘English’ is the most widely used online language spoken for that period. Immediately we can see that, every product launched during that period, reached a potential of 35.2% of the world population, if produced only in English.

Reading it from the other side – the marketers of the product have failed to reach 64.8% of worldwide prospects. Some may argue that people from – let us say – Korea, are not going to be interested in their product. In my own humble opinion, that is taking the tunnel route – when you can’t see the wood for the trees – why bother?

Further analysis of online language population may reveal that – Asian language sites are exploding online to such an extent, that within a short time, they will equal the number of English speaking web sites. For example, as I write, I flipped over to Youtube and noticed – 15 Asian made videos positioned within the 1st 3 pages of most watched.

Each and every video that I have produced, has been embedded onto hundreds of Asian sites, as well as European sites. This happens to any video uploaded to Youtube, because they allow embedding to be copied. Should we be worried about the shift?

At this moment, I would say no – we should welcome the shift, and embrace all the people, as our own. In friendship and marketing, we should reach out to everyone. Personally, by realizing this phenomenon, I have made many friends with people, from all walks of life, and from every country in the world.

Once again, comments from this blog, shall be made in many different languages, to spread the word of friendship.
