Posts Tagged ‘Online Video’

Last week the winners of the 12th Annual Webby Awards were announced. The Webby Awards pick the best of the best on the Internet in over 100 categories. Most entries fall into four main buckets -”Websites,” “Interactive Advertising,” “Online Film and Video,” or ”Mobile.” Some of the sites are quite entertaining! So you didn’t have to, I dug through them all and here are my favorites:

  • Here Comes Another Bubble - A catchy (and funny) music video about the state of Web 2.0 and the Internet business set to Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”
  • Tony vs. Paul - A tale of two friends torn apart via stop motion video. The video was shot in a bunch of different towns in Massachusetts – including Upton. Wicked pissah!
  • Coke’s Happiness Factory – An animated movie from Coca Cola. So great!
  • National Geographic – Your Shot - NG posts readers’ photos. Love looking at these.
  • Post Secret Blog - People anonymously submit their “secrets” to the editor, who posts them. Simple and successful concept.  (I’ll be posting later with my list of other great amusing blogs….stay tuned)
  • Milk Get the Glass - Got Milk? Well, you might after playing this visually impressive and fun online board game.
  • Atom Films - Tons of great online video.
  • Toyota Tacoma World of Warcraft Ad - This guy is the “lawgiver.” Hilarious ad – you may have seen this on TV, but I believe it started on the web.
  • Bud Light Swear Jar - Put a quarter in the jar….its for the good of the office!
  • Starz Bunny Theatre – Popular movies cut to 30-seconds and re-enacted by animated bunnies. Huh? Exactly.
  • Wired.com - Website for Wired Magazine. Cool beans!
  • HowStuffWorks.com - Self explanatory.

Corporate-sponsored contests are all over YouTube! The formula is simple – company pays YouTube lots of money to secure a prime spot for their company on YouTube, thousands of aspiring online video stars submit videos with content meeting the contest criteria, prizes (often big prizes) are awarded to the best video/s.

A new contest called “Sketchies 2″ is sponsored by Toyota to promote the new Corolla. The grand prize is $25K and $15K in video equipment – pretty sweet! My brother Eric and his Brooklyn roomie threw together a great video. Check it out below. Good luck Eric!
