Urban Snowboarding Fullout - World's Ten Best Tricked Out Boarders

Here's a mighty fine assortment of some of the world's best urban snowboarders doing their thing.  The song is 'Sail' by Awolnation.  This is a mixup of their videos that they submitted for a contest that's part of the Winter X games.

 

Justin Bieber, Selena and Ashley Tisdale: Here's My Number, Call Me Maybe?

Justin Bieber, Selena and Ashley Tisdale all headline a simple new video by Carly Rae Jepsen.  It's a cute poppy song but what's interesting? Well it's moving stong on the viral video charts and there's no big budget here... simple camera setup with a bunch of them singing to a stationary camera.  Nothing fancy... no smoke machines, dolly or crane shots.... just a song and some silly group dancing. 

Project Yosemite - Spectacular Time Lapse Video

Some drop dead, spectacular, time lapse video shot by Sheldon Neill and Colin Delehanty for what they call Project Yosemite.  As it says on their site, witness Yosemite like "you never have before."

At deweymedia have shot time lapse video, and we have found that the prep work is vital to make sure you know what you are going to get, particularly when it comes to longer shots which might span several hours.

Top Shooter - Matthew Brown

Great videographers can raise a subject from boring to interesting.  Here's a shooter named Matthew Brown who was stunned by what he found on a visit to Israel.  You can tell by the video.  It's great work.  Nice work of color, texture, and contrast.

Benjamin Eckstein's camaraman's eye is one of our great assets at deweymedia.  He created exciting shots in this piece for Riverdale Country School, making the video fun to watch.  Naturally the editor has a lot to do with the movment and speed of the interplay of the footage, but nothing happens if the videographer doesn't fill the tank with great footage.

Suprise: Don't Give Them What They Expect

Here's a creative and fun commercial for a French water, that certainly offers up some surprises. But a 95 second commercial is a rare luxury in the U.S.  

Keep them guessing.  Great way to keep your audience interested - avoid the expected.  The data on FB shows that a lot of videos are clicked but abandoned after five seconds.  Click count is nice, but you want to get your message across.  That's not going to happen if they only watch for a few seconds.  Commercial producers used to use all kinds of tricks to avoid bailout.... a funny premise is often a good way to keep them watching.
