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!
Ahhh! Miss Cellania you #1′d us all and anyone watching ABC News! Great pick for that one!
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.
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.
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.
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….
