Heeey! Congrats! "One of our favorite bloggers." Nice.
Great selection. Especially #1. I totally agree it's the best. You may want to tilt your camera down a little.
Nice! Neatorama is getting some good advertising and will soon be able to rule the world. Great job Miss Cellania!
Ooh, I should've been able to see the last one coming a mile away!
HAH! Great job Miss C. You couldn't have picked a better #1 slot.
Miss C, you rock!
w00t! Way to go Miss Cellania!
You should get a better mic.
Fame! Trafic!
I've never heard of #2 and #3. And where was 2girls1cup!?
2 Girls, 1 Cup came out in 2007.
Ahhh! Miss Cellania you #1'd us all and anyone watching ABC News! Great pick for that one!
Woo-Hoo, congrats Alex! Good choice for #1.
Oh noes! Rick-rolled! XD
Great job, Miss Cellania! *salutes*
The one that made me laugh the most was when you rickrolled us - you win. My god do you win.
- agreed with Jay@2 - it's called the 'rule of thirds,' I think - you should have the eyes at or near 1/3 down from the top of frame - check out the tv talking heads to verify... and, I gotta say it - isn't that dude "dancing" around the world politically incorrect on a few issues? global travel in airplanes for no reason (emissions), obvious disinterest and even disrespect for cultures by jerking himself around like a frat boy (the people and places don't matter, just the image of himself in them), AND it's not a dance, it's a lame excuse for a dance - if you saw him do that at a party you'd say he were an ass - and that he was finally sponsored to do it?! yeesh - teh internets are LAME if that's good enough for top 5
The camera (iSight) placement looks fine while I'm taping, but crops everything in the editing/saving process. And the mic came with the camera (which was a gift). When I'm wealthy, I will upgrade. Which will never happen.
This particular project was a rush job of sorts, and the computer room in my new house just doesn't lend itself well to webcam work. When I have time, I will test out camera angles and lighting. Which will never happen.
My brother saw this piece on TV at 3:45 this morning.
Congrats on the TV time.
I've never seen the Yes We Can one.. never even heard of it o_O
The Rickrolled one was good though.
I knew the Rickroll was coming but laughed anyway.
Great list, Miss C.
Miscellania..oh, I get it...
too bad abc gives the best part, and video, away in the title.. but about the tom cruise vid, the best i the one for that stupid superhero movie.. thats just excellent
nice.
linkies to the videos? I can't find a complete version of the SNL Palin/Hilary one.
Good job!
As always, great job.
Miss Cellania that was very cool, great job.
Great exposure for Neatorama as well.
yes - I had meant to say you did a great job earlier - great delivery - you can stand in there with the best of them!
I still don't agree with calling someting made for national television (a SNL Skit) a "viral video". It was first broadcast to millions of people in a different medium. Seems like a totally different thing....
congrats on being on abc! and darn it, rickrolled again!
