I started writing music when I was around twelve. My current record company saw a video of me performing at my school’s talent show.
We are at a point in the video game industry that the industry is hollowed out. It is out of touch with the zeitgeist, creating sequels and formulaic games over and over again. The energy comes from the indies.
I’m a video game fan. I played them before I became an actress.
When it comes to the video channels and the programs, the radio stations, the music is geared towards kids, and it’s made by kids.
Video is moving online in a big way. It’s proven to be a challenging market for some companies that start out as a pure Internet company such as Joost.
I’m the kind of person, if I see something, like a funny video, I want to share it. With Twitter and Tumblr you can do that on a mass scale, and people get to know your personality.
I grew up with video games. My generation kind of grew up with the Nintendo and the Sega Genesis. Then, I had a Dreamcast and, finally, the PlayStation. So yeah, I’ve always been a big gamer.
The idea that everyone in their lives has played a video game is becoming more acceptable to the general audience. Now we just need to work on the idea that, even out of adolescence, that it’s okay to still play.
I might do a fitness video. Actually, more of a fatness video.
People just don’t sit down and just watch TV at night. Between cellphones, television, video games, the Internet and instant messaging, people are just spending their time in different places.
I have a company in the U.K., a performance-capture studio. We’re looking to push the boundaries of performance-capture technology in film and video games, but also in live theater, using real-time performance capture with actors onstage, and combining that with holographic imagery.
Chadron had a water tower, grain elevators, a tanning salon, a video rental store, a small liberal arts college, a Hardee’s, a stoplight, and a curling yellow sign in the pet store window that read, ‘Hamsters and Tarantulas Featured Today.’
Too many companies think they want to do a video blog to sell merchandise, but if you turn your site into QVC, you lose. I have an audience that trusts me. It’s about building a global brand – not selling four more bottles of Pinot Grigio.
Some people have no respect whether you are with your family or not. That’s the hardest part. I was shopping in a grocery store in Seattle looking for stuff for Nicholas. This guy kept following me with his cell phone video on.
Everything I do with my day is related to Superwoman. I’m either doing conference calls or writing a script or reading a script, editing a video, shooting a video.
My knowledge of video games ends with Nintendo ‘Mario Bros.’
I used to do my best thinking while staring out airplane windows. The seat-back video system put a stop to that. Now I sit and watch old’ Friends’ and ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ episodes. Walking is good, but here again, technology has interfered. I like to listen to iTunes while I walk home. I guess I don’t think anymore.
I was 11 or 12 years old when I first saw ‘Reservoir Dogs.’ I remember after I saw that film, I kept renting it from the video store because I wanted all of my friends to see it.
All of our TaskRabbits go through a vetting process, which includes an online application, a video interview, a series of background checks, and then an online quiz that they have to pass before they’re activated on the site.
I was born in 1957, so when I was a kid, there wasn’t anything called a video game. When ‘Pong’ came out, it was awesome.
When we get to what happens when we die, we don’t have any video footage. So let’s at least be honest that we are speculating, because we are.
I was one of the very first people to ever do a video in country music.
A big reason why I started writing is I felt that fiction had stopped evolving. All other entertainments were getting better, constantly, as technology allowed. Movies. Video games. Music.
Every video I’ve made has an inspirational message behind it. Since day one, I thought, ‘Okay, I want my audience to be, like, Disney members.’ So if that’s the case, I have to keep everything rated G.
I’m a video store guy. I like thumbing through things and holding them.
The general reactions were that the video was either not going to load, or be painfully slow to load, or would require a plug-in users didn’t have. YouTube changed that, because it just works.
I love playing video games. I love listening to music. Just surfing the web. Facebook, Twitter, keeping in touch with people from home.
I served at the Pentagon and at Fort Leavenworth – my job was video cameraman, and that allowed me to travel to places like Korea, Japan, Alaska, Germany and the Netherlands.
When I started editing on my home computer, I said to myself, ‘Well, I could be at home studying for a class or I could be at home editing a video.’
‘Use Somebody’ I posted – it was the end of 2009, around Christmas. That was my first video.
When I was younger, in my living room, I used to put ‘Cats’ the stage musical video on and I used to copy Victoria.
My brother Van got the computer first and showed me what it was like to edit video. I definitely credit Van with turning me onto filmmaking.
It’s very difficult for people who don’t play video games to understand their power simply by watching, and it’s very difficult for people who aren’t close to technology to understand how rapidly it can change whatever it touches.
When I started half.com, our three biggest competitors were Borders, Tower Records and Blockbuster Video.
Personally, I really enjoy sci-fi. I watch it, I read comic books, and I play video games. I love this kind of world, so to be able to work in it is a dream. I enjoy it. It’s all good.
It’s funny: I put money into short films, and I put really good actors in it, and I write some stuff that’s really funny, and I’ll get, like, a million views. But to the right of me, there will be a video of a kitten that falls into a toilet bowl, and it’s three seconds long, and it will get 25 million views.
What I would do is a 10-minute short of some kind on video, and if it’s good enough, you get it passed around town and just get some attention, so then they’ll read what you have.
I’ve seen the video played over and over, and it replays in my head constantly. To be able to walk in his exact footsteps is an extremely huge honor, and I did this for him as much as I did it for my family to get some closure too.
Commercial directing felt like a very natural transition from my comedy, sketch, music video directing experience.
First of all, you needed a budget to do the video. The record companies would pick and choose who got videos.
The word ‘geek’ today does not mean what it used to mean. A geek isn’t the skinny kid with a pocket protector and acne. There can be computer geeks, video game geeks, car geeks, military geeks, and sports geeks. Being a geek just means that you’re passionate about something.
This generation is so dead. You ask a kid, ‘What are you doing this Saturday?’ and they’ll be playing video games or watching cable, instead of building model cars or airplanes or doing something creative. Kids today never say, ‘Man, I’m really into remote-controlled steamboats.’
I want people to get a better sense of who I am, whether they’ve seen every video or zero videos.
Windows Updates have sometimes been a pain point for users. The update pop-ups can interrupt a movie or a video game, and the automatic restarts can result in lost data or confused users.
I love doing hair and makeup and making ‘Video Star’ videos with my friend, Kendall. I also love to draw. But my life is dance, dance and more dance. I wouldn’t want it any other way.
My parents said that sitting at home playing video games all day won’t bring you anywhere in life.
The average teen today spends about 35 hours a week in front of a screen of some kind: iPod, movie, TV, video. And a lot of it is good, but a lot of it’s not. And so I think you’ve got that five hours a day of media coming into your kid’s head that’s creating a lot of havoc out there.
Now, on nights that I can’t sleep, I play video games alone until the morning.
When I was coming out of depression, I made one random video. It wasn’t funny or anything, but just the idea that people I didn’t know were watching it made me feel less alone than I’d felt in a long time.
I do disagree with the way videos of my songs have been made. ‘Afreen Afreen’ is a very powerful song; it did not require such a video. The emphasis should be on the song. Again, I have told my recording company, and in the future, they will screen the video only after my approval.
Each week, I post a video about some ‘Pigeon of Discontent’ raised by a reader. Because, as much as we try to find the ‘Bluebird of Happiness,’ we’re also plagued by those small but pesky ‘Pigeons of Discontent.’
My video game character is a bit better looking than me, actually. I don’t think he has to worry about his hair getting messed up.
The world is full of CEOs that think that just because they write a memo or they write a letter inside an annual report or they give a little video speech that gets sent around the company, they think that’s what’s really going to affect employees.
If you are willing to take the trip through ‘Analogue,’ you’ll be rewarded with some of the best writing in gaming today and a look into the future of what kind of meaningful stories video games are capable of telling.
