I like the video I saw earlier today with the dancers on the subway dancing to Thriller.  It reminded me of my buddy Kyle’s video he made in high school years back.  That video was a serious attempt at a remake and didn’t have any significant comedy to it other than hoping with all my heart that Kyle becomes famous so I can show the tape to Jay Leno and embarass him.  Maybe with Kyle’s permission I’ll post a clip of his video so you guys can check it out and start the embarassment early.  

So I was watching the fox video of Montel Williams when he’s asked a question about Heath Ledgers death and started going off on all the dead soldiers not getting attention in Iraq and it got me thinking. I’m getting a little sick of all the paparazzi coverage of things, mostly Brittany Spears, and I can see the Heath Ledger coverage building a little but at least there was some news there. The thing that pissed me off with Montel is that regardless of how much he’s put into the public awareness of the war he’ll still be a hypocrite in my book and gets a thumbs down for taking an any means necessary approach to getting his Iraq message across. Take a deep breath Montel and focus your anger in a more positive way towards the politicians who can make a difference.

We’ve been spending a lot of time planning how to re-launch the new viralfilmvideo.com site in the coming months. Up until now we’ve been pretty much a basic site built to promote the company and to showcase our portfolio. In the near future we’ll still have part of the site about us, but the main goal will be to be better able to view our original content and some of our favorite videos from other sites. We’re still learning a lot about some of what we’re hoping to do so we’re taking our time. Our focus has always been producing viral videos first, and it still is, but we’re also hoping to offer services through our partners to help promote videos. If anybody has any websites that they think have a great design, I’m definitely looking for samples. I do think we’ll end up going with a Drupal design and following in the footsteps of our half stepsister site www.purestock.tv which is relaunching it’s new site soon. Drupal will be something that we can hopefully update a little easier than some of the other choices. The only downside is that at some point we may have to move from BlueHost to another server, because of some of the video posting services that aren’t available on BlueHost. One possibility is AptHost.com but we’re still exploring options. More to come.
