I’ve noticed a lot of younger artists have less fear of doing different sorts of things, whether it’s various types of music, or gallery artists moving between video and sculpture and drawing.
It’s a challenging task for every artist to come up with new ideas. Your last video would have made a benchmark, so the next one should ideally be better than your previous work, so there’s always a competition with myself to be better.
As a matter of fact, when compression technology came along, we thought the future in 1996 was about voice. We got it wrong. It is about voice, video, and data, and that is what we have today on these cell phones.
But audio is a component of video, so there’s always been that anyway, and although we’ve never expressed a visual side apart from the Grateful Dead movie, I don’t find it that remote, you know what I mean? It’s a departure of sorts, but it’s like a first cousin.
My brother and I have always had this theory that, as stupid as it sounds, in video games, there is a certain hand-eye coordination and a thought process that you can learn.
I’m a huge ‘Call of Duty’ fan, ‘Minecraft’ and all those kinds of video games. I’m constantly playing video games every day.
I’m an old guy, so I started out playing ‘Pong’ with my brothers, and ‘Mario Bros.’ and whatnot. But we really got involved and got intense when ‘Tecmo Super Bowl’ came out. That’s when we really started playing video games, and it got intense.
I think I was perceived in one fashion. A video is based on a song. I think you can get glimpses of people’s presence within that. There’s some people you enjoy watching more than others.
Being web video ‘experts’/’pioneers,’ whatever you may want to call us, has us always thinking about content that is outside the box, inherently viral in itself and good for web video audiences, as you can’t just put out a good piece of content and expect it to be seen.
I showed my mom the movie then I told her the movie got bought and that it was gonna be shown in theatres and be on video. Everyone was really psyched about it. Everyone in my little town of hounds started to call me movie star.
Once we start seeing video games that have more memorable characters, you’ll see better movie adaptations.
I think there’s really only been one successful video game adaptation, and that was probably ‘Tomb Raider.’ Whether or not you thought it was a good movie, it was successful financially.
You get to actually see the music video on the TV in the pilot and we have the soundtrack playing at this big party. I thought that was sort of a cool moment, to actually have the A-Ha video is pretty cool.
I did get a huge endorphin rush when I was able to crack a system because it was like a video game.
I’ve always liked Liverpool. I’d play a lot of video games, and I’d be them, because they played in red, like Independiente, my first club, Arsenal, or Chelsea.
Video games are engineered now, but the step I am trying to take, no one can engineer.
I’ve rarely seen video screens used well in a music concert.
I’m a professional maker of online video and I love platform diversity of every kind.
After my first video, I went out and had chicken noodle soup with my sister and manager. We were like, ‘How rock n’ roll are we? Celebrating the first video with chicken soup.’
I’m very careful about how I portray violence in my films. I do believe that violence, especially violent video games, are not a good thing for young kids.
Actually, I would love to make a music video. Maybe it would finally put to rest those persistent rumours that have followed me throughout my career – particularly when I was on camera performing – that I had died.
Video just accesses international information so much more readily.
I’m a believer that players are good self-directors, and I think one thing that’s good about video games is they can direct their own experience.
Some people think literature is high culture and that it should only have a small readership. I don’t think so… I have to compete with popular culture, including TV, magazines, movies and video games.
I grew up nerdy, scrawny, playing video games, and getting picked on.
I love doing YouTube. That’s where my heart is, and so it makes me sad when I can’t put a good, fun, energetic video out, because that’s what I love to do – and that’s my passion. And that’s who I am.
Now everybody’s got a video camera, so go make videos with your friends or see if you can get a part in a film school thing that’s being done.
Video games are a special kind of play, but at root, they’re about the same things as other games: embracing particular rules and restrictions in order to develop skills and experience rewards. When a game is well-designed, it’s the balance between these factors that engages people on a fundamental level.
Video games are bad for you? That’s what they said about rock-n-roll.
The most attention I get is in a book store or video shop when I go to the foreign film section. Sometimes that can be fun, but usually those women want to talk about philosophy or something very dense. It’s not like they’re tearing off my shirt, you know.
So let’s say you’re using XYZ product and you want to do something very sophisticated. You subscribe to this thing, you hit a button, and a CA expert pops up in video.
If you subscribe to any online service, whether it be AOL, Google, Yahoo, or the Huffington Post, have you noticed that you are forced to watch a seemingly endless ad before the video story appears about a news item that caught your eye? AOL and the Huffington Post are especially annoying.
People are building communities of people who use video. They’re sharing them. YouTube’s traffic continues to grow very quickly.
In college, before video games, we would amuse ourselves by posing programming exercises.
Kinect is such a great new entry into the field because it takes away one of the big barriers to little kids to playing a game, which is the controller. You can’t hand a basic video game controller to a child and expect them to understand what a left bumper is and to click in the right stick.
Brands, musicians, and public figures were among the first to embrace video on ‘Instagram’, and we’ve been impressed with how brands have extended their reach with video ads.
‘Shelby Star’ is going great. We shot a music video, and I’m building an app and some other things for the project.
It’s suddenly practical to do very high quality video wirelessly over mobile devices, and we’re just in the early days of that.
Some people say video games rot your brain, but I think they work different muscles that maybe you don’t normally use.
Somebody captures an incredible video, shares it online, and inspires millions of other people to go and do the same with their GoPros, and then it happens again and again – and what you’ve got is this incredible snowball of stoked customers capturing and creating rad content with their GoPros.
I’ll know I’m reaching the total American market when I’m asked to do a video for MTV.
I don’t spend a lot of time watching my performances after the fact. I suck at playing video games, but I’m a fan of the creativity, the brilliance, and the possibility of the industry.
I was on a beach in Hawaii for a video shoot once, and it was incredibly beautiful. It had very fine black sand with a silver sparkle running through it.
I don’t think there’s room in video games for people to bring an ego. It’s very frustrating for any actor to have someone who’s a celebrity take over your place. Like the ‘Uncharted’ film, they’re trying to find someone to play Nathan Drake. And it’s like, why do they not think of us? We do this.
We used to flock to watch gladiators, public torture and executions. In more recent times, our appetite for mortal violence has been sublimated in sports, photorealistic video games, film and literature.
People love video games because they do things they obviously can’t do in real life. That’s especially true with sports games because fans love to step into the shoes of their favorite athletes.
Since our inception, Youku Tudou as the leader in the multi-screen video space has helped transform how video and entertainment-related content is distributed and marketed.
Remember, when YouTube was founded in the U.S., America’s Funniest Home Videos had been around for a long time. In China, the history of TV as well as user-generated video is very, very short. So, we’ve actually had to do a lot of things to motivate that.
As things go digital, the notion of new editions will go away. A publisher can add video and assessment content at scale, make the change in 30 seconds and it’s just a software update.
My first job now is as a mother, everything else is secondary. My kids understand that I am an actress, and they are always so surprised to hear my voice on a cartoon character, or see my face on a video box. If it ever gets to be too much though, the career and the kids, I will simply set the career aside.
I knew when I shot the ‘She Keeps Me Warm’ video that the comments were not going to be homophobic… that they would be about fat-shaming. I’m a large girl making out with somebody. I knew just that sheer fact would set people off.
The first time I saw the Rodney King video, I remember thinking, ‘Wow, these cops just got 100 years in jail.’ Obviously that didn’t happen.
I think that in a weird way, as technology gets more sophisticated, people have become less aware of it. It’s become part of our day to day life. We’re seeing large-scale projection mapping, like on buildings. There’s video everywhere. It’s much less noticeable that we’re actually looking at technology.
