Unused stage visuals for M.I.A’s Bang by David OReilly…
Here are some stage visuals I recently did for M.I.A. The deadline for this was extremely tight, everything was done in a few days in preparation for her Coachella gig last weekend. Here was the first test I did before any brief, it wasn’t used in the end but it’s my personal favourite. You can view this with red/cyan glasses, the gun’s...

Webcam: SquirrelHouse
By: SkwerlCam
Notes: Not so fun when it’s just one animal, but I may be biased because puppies are better than squirrels anyway. But still, how about 3 baby squirrels. Then we’d have something.

Videoblog: Types of Tea
By: Kevin Rose
Notes: 12 minutes is a long time to talk about tea. I know we’ve all been taught to have a beginning, middle, and then end with a strong conclusion, but in web video if you’re going to end up with a 5+ minute discussion, you’d do better to structure your content like an article. Think upside down pyramids. Tell me what I’m going to...
Oof, comments are all broken (at least on Firefox). Sorry! Working on it, but I’m not the best with code.

Interview: “Original Shows for the Web” - Fortune interviews L.A. investor Ross Levinsohn says the Internet offers a unique challenge for content producers.
Notes: Great advice - produce programming for less. You can cut more corners than you think and still end up with great content. Just focus on the story, writing, and pace of editing to keep the viewer engaged.

Clip: The Colbert Report - Biz Stone
Notes: The video player is brutal (come on Comedy Central), but this interview is hilarious. Here’s Colbert’s Twitter, but it’s no fun that he doesn’t follow anyone.

Series: VendrTV - The Grease Trucks (Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ)
Produced/Hosted By: Daniel Delaney
Notes: VendrTV is a short form food show reviewing street food. Daniel is great on camera, and this is one food show that I can relate to living in NYC. Sometimes they smell so good, but you wonder if it’s worth it.

By: Nate Westheimer and Adam Quirk
Notes: The Interwebs is an interview, tech & media business news, gossip, variety show series that comes together nicely with the editing style used, though the with multiple segments the show runs fairly long.
