We started off by watching 'Blogs in Plain English'. Created by 'leelefever' on YouTube, this video was quite original in its creation. The video consisted of the author moving little pieces of paper around on a white background. We think that this was very original and really entertaining despite the topic of the video not being too extremely exciting. The video was quite thorough and explained the relationship between the blogging community and their readers. While drawing on the facts consisting of the rise of blogging to a main stream media it is able to be insightful without being boring. We think that this video was worth viewing, its original presentation is enough to keep it enjoyable but not enough to make worth re-watching, because of this we give it a 7/10.
Zombies have over taken the world not just through infecting people but through the mass influx of zombie related media (Video games, Movies, and Etc.). This video is from "leelefever" who had done the previous video we reviewed entitled "Blogs In Plain English" so it was not boring. This video was an interesting take on explaining how to survive a zombie apocalypse should it ever happen. Using the same animations as "Blogs in Plain English" it was humorous in its random presentation of zombie facts. "Zombies can't swim". The humor in this little video is created by the narrators calm tone throughout. He is calm, yet he is talking about zombies! Something that most people would not take lightly. We give this video an 8/10 for being creative and quotable.
The “Great Tasting Americano” no full words are spoken in this short other than the song “beat it” by Micheal Jackson. It was a fun stop motion take on “Grand Theft Auto” without having to be extremely violent and the character models make it humorous to watch. I've watched this video several times over and its still makes me chuckle as the main character drives off in a stolen car driving to “Beat it” with cop car sirens going off behind him. The inclusion of a HUD (Heads Up Display such as a map and health) was perfect to make it feel like a video game. There are few parts where you can tell that this is stop motion because of the level of detail that went into the video is why it is so awesome. Such simple character models make it fun to re watch. Although I have never watched any of “pg8472” videos I may just have to look into more. Also on that a Loading screen was the final touch that makes this video a 9/10. There is no time during this video in which it was boring from beginning to end it is hilarious.
"Food Fight" on 'touristpictures' YouTube page is a very exciting piece of animation. The video shows various foods actually fighting. They have several wars kill each other throughout the video. Its surprisingly very violent to see food destroying other food in the ways shown in this video, the author had some very creative ideas when it came to food weaponry. The description on the video's page says that it is a recreation of real battles in food form. It was hard for us to tell which battles were shown in the video, but we're sure that the parallels could be seen if we knew which battles were supposed to be shown. The fighting seemed to get repetitive and it seemed like the author uses some of the same animations more than once. Despite these few things we think that this video was very creative and quite different from anything we've ever seen before. We give it an 8.5/10.
"Back of the Mike" shows two parallels, a young boy's imagination of what is happening during a radio broadcast, and what is actually happening to create the sounds and effects of the radio broadcast. This video is interesting to watch because of all the different sound effects that the broadcasters have to make sounds for. Its neat to see the ways they make each sound. The sounds you take for granted like footsteps are all accounted for and recreated for the radio. We think that this video shows a lot of behind the scenes work that went on during radio shows back in the day and we give it an 8/10 for being so interesting.
