These people that watch our MTV shows, they’re not music fans. They’re people that are lazy on their couch and want to watch funny videos or whatever.
I knew I could make a living doing my own videos instead of making them for someone else.
We want people on the Internet to go to Imgur for their viral image fix. And what’s so awesome about images vs. videos is that instant gratification.
When I do videos, it’s just myself.
The best videos were the ones where I became friends with the artists first.
I was hoping that I could one day get a job at Quik or Billabong working on their videos. So I made ‘Momentum’ on a shoestring budget for fun and sort of a resume to work for others.
I took a film course in grade ten that made me want to direct, and I’ve always been making short films and home videos with my friends, so it’s definitely something I wanna pursue as well.
Vast volumes of mixed media surround us, from music to games and videos. Yet almost all of our online actions still begin and end with writing: text messages, status updates, typed search queries, comments and responses, screens packed with verbal exchanges and, underpinning it all, countless billions of words.
If one percent of the people who take iPad or iPhone videos of concerts watch them, I’d be very surprised.
While handling social media pages, my father accepted every friend suggestion that popped up on the screen. He’s shared some random videos and commented on people’s posts. I told him it’s silly paa ‘ and he laughed. Maybe on Father’s Day, I’ll teach him to order his favorite food on an app.
Instagram is just a way of showing the world a little piece of what you’re like. You’re not really giving everything away – it’s not like you’re making videos every second; you’re just giving a little picture of what’s happening in your life. No one can really completely figure it out.
I hated my early videos. I really did. I hated ‘The Rhythm.’ Hated it. It’s not my vibe to have lot of white people jumping on trampolines.
As a kid, I looked up to Gazza, and to Wayne Rooney because he came through at Everton. Zidane has been one of my favourite players and I was always watching videos of him.
Growing up with videos and YouTube, being able to see content from the ’90s – music and games – that really helped me stay connected with the time before me.
I love animals and their behavior. I watch cat videos all the time.
We have home videos that are really great tape on my parents being hysterical. So I think I always knew that my parents were funny, so I think that I always felt comfortable using comedy in my real life.
I went from basically filming in my bedroom by myself, filming some funny videos, and then overnight, I switched into filming in some studios and some warehouses and family homes. I started filming with directors and producers and editors, and there were so many people in the room, so it was definitely weird.
I’m inspired by my surroundings. That’s why I create dresses or videos around simple everyday things! I also love playing with nostalgic things from my childhood like cartoons. I like my art to trigger some sort of memory from my viewers, something they can relate to.
I started out making skateboard videos. Soon, it dawned on me I just wasn’t that great at skateboarding. So I put down the skateboard and just kept going with the camera.
I’m quite nostalgic. I like looking back over the papers and watching videos.
It is impossible to effectively monitor the huge volume of videos that are out there. It is often difficult to find out who owns the copyright on individual videos. Differing copyright laws in different countries also make the whole process harder.
There’s a lot of variety in our gigs, our records, our mixtapes, and our videos.
My ambition was always to bag a lead role in a film, and hence, I refrained from doing any ads, TV serials, music videos, as I felt that a fresh face always works much better. It was a gamble, and I took that gamble telling myself that I will give it my all to bag a lead role.
Make the videos that you want to watch. Don’t think about who is going to be upset or offended.
The online thing has been really big for us: the YouTube videos, the MySpace.
I’m either doing a show or in the gym or studying WWE videos or eating. I have to eat a lot.
My first projects were mostly European commercials and music videos.
My videos are meant to make people look at themselves at the end of the day. They all have a message.
An album is a whole universe, and the recording studio is a three-dimensional kind of art space that I can fill with sound. Just as the album art and videos are ways of adding more dimensions to the words and music. I like to be involved in all of it because it’s all of a piece.
The stereoscopic panoramic videos that we’re showing on Samsung VR are getting a lot of positive traction. It’s exciting when you see creative types – whether from the music, film, or video industries – look at this stuff. The gears are turning in their head almost immediately about how they can use it as a new medium.
I’ve always loved music videos – I used to make my own for bands like Pearl Jam. My favorite directors are Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, and Patrick Daughters.
The videos are definitely as important as the music.
I am not a great fan of computers. I do watch videos and analyse which batsman is playing how. Batsmen can play different shots on different days. A batsman may not play cover drives well, but if he connects with two such shots, he starts playing the drive well on that day.
I think it’s because all our music videos have chubby girls wearing crazy makeup and crazy gay dudes and trannies that are overly stylized and over-the-top. Being compared to John Waters and girl groups isn’t a bad thing, though.
A lot of girls on YouTube want to show their personality, but they are afraid because they think people only want them to do beauty videos. That’s just not true.
My channel is really a positive outlet for people to come every day after school. I make my videos so that people can have something happy to turn to – a positive message. I’m making it okay to talk about stuff.
Raj Kundra kept telling me that Shilpa Shetty liked my videos and photos. This gave me more motivation to work on such videos. When you are motivated by people like Shilpa Shetty, you don’t understand what’s right and wrong. When I was praised for making such videos, it gave me a push to do more.
At 3 A.M., I’m still up watching videos of jazz heroes I never saw live. It’s so thrilling. And not just the music. The Internet is changing the future of fund-raising. I’m thrilled by the potential.
I love ‘Robot Chicken,’ ‘The Boondocks’ and ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos.’ Then there’s this show called ‘The First 48.’ It’s a documentary about killings where they try and find murderers. They interrogate people and they tell on each other – it’s hilarious.
I guess the dream would be to do movies, and keep people updated with my videos.
I started doing videos in high school with my friends. I was very popular. I did my own kind of little reality show – mainly, my videos were about beauty and very gossipy in nature.
I was a rapper who was 13 or 14 years old at one point, and it was a dream. I used to see videos of other rappers around the world, and I used to hope that I could be like that one day.
I have pretty unsophisticated tastes; I enjoy the videos on ‘You’ve Been Framed’ a lot – I don’t think there’s much that’s funnier than people falling over. I prefer that to Bill Hicks.
Adam does most of the work when it comes to videos and he basically does the same as I do with the lyrics. The videos are his visual interpretations of our music.
We’ve created these Protected Voices videos to showcase the methods these adversaries might use, and to help campaigns practice good cyber hygiene, because the foundation of election security is cybersecurity.
I remember making a ‘thank you’ video when one of my videos got to 50 views!
Coming out of the Northwest and that environment to shoot hip-hop videos, it’s a little atypical of a place to be, you know.
More academics should blog, post videos, post audio, post lectures, offer articles and more. You’ll enjoy it: I’ve had threats and blackmail, abuse, smears and formal complaints with forged documentation.
I’m not a politician, I’m not in Congress. You know what I mean? I’m just a black girl that makes YouTube videos and tries to teach dialogue in campuses so they think before stepping into a voting booth.
I knew I wanted to be a singer from the age of five. I’ve been lucky to be so single-minded – some of my friends still don’t know what they want to do, and they’re finding it hard. There are home videos of me singing and taking centre stage at family parties when I’m about three.
There’s things that I see that I did on videos when I was younger that I be like, ‘Damn, I was bugging.’ Champagne Dame, that dude, he was bugging. I don’t even know that guy.
Obviously I know if you’re putting yourself out there, saying, ‘Hey! Listen to my music!,’ with pictures of yourself in the magazines, then people are going to judge you. ‘I hate her music. I hate her hair. I hate her production. I hate her videos.’ Fine: don’t care. That’s the great thing about art: it’s not for everyone.
You never, ever leave art school. It’s important to keep finding inspiration. I look at YouTube videos and think, ‘How would I do that?’ I like experimenting with things. For instance, drying paintings off too quickly in a microwave can look strangely beautiful.
