V Cast for Verizon

Verizon wireless has partnered with Revver.com to allow it's cell phone customers to watch Revver videos from their phones. So far they have selected 50 videos to be available on their service and ours just happens to be one of them. The video they chose is called "New Extreme Sports" and it was created by Wade. So what exactly does this all mean? Basically that this video now has the potential to be viewed by a huge number of people on both the internet & CELL PHONES!!! Maybe this could be our 15 minutes of fame. If you haven't seen it yet or would like to watch it again click here.

How Long Must We Wait???

Ok, so it's been a while since I've uploaded a new video, but you won't have to wait much longer. I've been traveling accross the US in the back of a Dodge Magnum for the last 3 weeks so it's been a bit hard to do much video work. But don't despair! I'll be back in Vancouver soon and over the next couple of days I will be finishing of the editing for my next video. It should be up soon. While your waiting here's the new "Numa Numa Guy" Video, thought you might like it:

Don't Watch This Video!!!

OK, so for anyone who has a warped sense of humor and can find humor in things that others would be put off by, this new video is for you. For everyone else: DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO!!!
I'm serious, if you have a weak stomach and/or you don't have a childish sense of humor, don't under ANY circumstances watch this video! No matter how curious you now are, DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO!!!

The New Revver.com

Revver 1.0 will be released tommorow but you can take a sneak peek here. Revver is the site that we use to host all our videos. The main change the new version of Revver wil have on our site is that the videos will all be encoded in flash format (Quitime will still be available also). This means you can now watch our vidoes even if you don't have quicktime player. They should also load faster than the quicktime versions.

Here is our latest video release in the new 'flash format':

What are 'Viral Videos'?

"The term viral video refers to video clip content which gains widespread popularity through the process of Internet sharing, typically through email or IM messages, blogs and other media sharing websites. Viral videos are often humorous in nature and may range from televised comedy sketches such as Saturday Night Live's Lazy Sunday to unintentionally released amateur video clips like Star Wars kid. While the viral video phenomenon has occurred in a largely unstructured manner, a number of organizations are attempting to find marketing strategies that rely on the distribution of viral video, with mixed results."

The site I choose to share my videos through is revver.com because it allowes me to make money through the advertising they place at the end of each video. As long as the Revver tag is left on the video it still earns money even when shared through the methodes mentioned above, as long as it is not uploaded to a site such as youtube or goole video. So please don't upload our videos to these or simmilar sites. This will help support us in making many more videos.
