Will Make Web Video For Food
Posted in: UncategorizedAccording to San Francisco Chronicle, popular web video series like “Break a Leg,” are not being shown the money.
Even with a YouTube partnership, contest winnings from Internet video clearinghouse Metacafe and other recognitions, “Break a Leg” has grossed about $2,500 for two years’ work. This is a show with an average monthly viewership of 1.5 million people.
“Break a Leg” embodies the key contradictions of the brave new world of online video entertainment. It’s easier and cheaper than ever for individuals to produce their own work and put it up for global audiences – on sites like YouTube, Revver, Veoh and My Damn Channel – but it’s almost impossible to make a living outside of the established TV and film industry.
Regarding this story, Hugh MacLeod, says, “The business model is not a revenue model. The business model is a social model. Duh…” I have no idea what that means, but I thought I’d share it with you anyway.

Nike football Spain – Euro 2008
Posted in: UncategorizedI’m not sure what the message of this spot is, this seem to be a response to the pubic criticism, Spanish football supporters.
Although this is another Nike advertising for Euro 2008, this advertising seems to virtually involve a crush between Spain’s football team and crowd.
All five players in this ad, Torres, Iniesta, Ramos, Puyol and Fábregas are all sponsored by Nike as individuals. They are all individually sponsored by Nike; however the Spanish national team is sponsored by ADIDAS.
People in the background are discussing why Spanish football team can’t win any big tournament and what team needs to be successful.
The answer is taking football to the next level and win.
Good commercial, after all.
