Wacky Wednesdays: How To Make A Viral Video

If you've tried making videos for YouTube, you'd realize one thing--not everything goes viral. It's not rocket science, but it's not easy either. So here is Jin and Reuben's tip from JinnyboyTV on how to make a viral video, with some Pixie Lott, Jay Park & David Choi sulking in it!

Wacky Wednesdays: Mystery Guitar Man iPhone Video Puzzle

Credits: Mystery Guitar Man on Facebook

I know, I know, everyone knows the Mystery Guitar Man... pffft those who don't have been living in a well in the middle of the ocean. Wait, the ocean has no well.

Anyway, the Mystery Guitar Man has done some amaaaaaaaaazing stuff with his new video, and I kid you not! He and his friends actually made an entire video by putting them into 4 iPhones that had to move in order for the video to work. Sounds complicated? Well watch the Video Puzzle below and you'll get the idea.



I was just absolutely blown away by entire thing... I mean, the time it took for them to animate, edit, render the video and then actually move the phones, it's like WHOA! Seriously, 238 takes just to get the perfect shot, I take my hats off to them! A video well worth sharing :)

Not-So-Wacky Wednesdays: Thank You For Supporting ntv7 What Men Want

I usually post some funny video on Wednesdays but I really wanted to talk about something different today.

If you don't know, ntv7 has just finished airing this reality series called "What Men Want". Despite the split between some who loved the show and those who didn't see much of it, we really want to appreciate all of you who talked about it online, blogged about it, shared a video, tweeted about the program or even liked a picture on facebook. Thank You.

I finally watched the video the producers of the show Mai & Yin posted on their phoSumpro! YouTube channel and gawd it sent me into tears :'( Actually it didn't but really, it was great working with them on the show and the amount of belief they had in us when we wanted to have them cut extra scenes to put up online, shots from the episodes to promote the show, etc. They even put so much effort into answering every question people had on the show about facebook! So if you've ever posted something and got a response, you know it's them!



I can't say enough that a show's success always depends on the viewers, meaning YOU. The show can be the most expensive production in the world and yet if no one watches it, it won't amount to anything at the end of the day. That's why YouTube stars can be the stars they are now because of the people who watch & support them!

To make our local production industry better, we definitely need more support from everyone. We're always trying our best to raise the bar higher with production works and having a platform online for people to comment and give us feedback so we do love it when people tell us they love something or when they think we can improve on something. It's a small step but I think it'll go a long way if we get adequate support & feedback.

Thanks to TianChad, Budiey, Norman Goh, Jayren, Daily Chilli, Cari Forum, etc. for helping spread the word about this show online! You guys rock :)

Wacky Wednesdays: Exciting, Dramatic Surprise!

Had a super busy weekend with the Yuan Carnival in Penang last week and it's finally back to normal working hours in the office. But you know what, normal isn't what makes life interesting now is it? Normality is well, normal.

So I was looking around for some fun videos to watch and found this super exciting, dramatic SURPRISE. Have fun watching :)

Wacky Wednesdays: My Generasi of Malaysian Youtubers

Credits: http://www.jinnyboytv.com/

I'm really proud of Malaysia, first there was the launch of YouTube Malaysia and then slowly our local YouTubers were picking up the pace with seriously inspiring videos, videos worth sharing and ones that made us feel like truly 1Malaysia.

Following JinnyboyTV, they released their new video called "My Generasi" and when I first saw it, there were about maybe 300 views... After that, I saw my friends on facebook slowly sharing it out and the total number of my friends (who are very little btw) who shared the video out reached about 20 over. Now let's attempt to do the math a little, if one person had 20 friends who shared the video and let's say this person has an average number of 500 friends, 20 x 500 = 10,000 so it's not surprising how now the video has gained over 650,000+ views!



Wonderfully directed and shot by Reuben plus editing by Jin himself, the video made me laugh especially when it showed us how we had our own version of facebook back then. The funny poems we would write for our friends, the coloured pens we would use, ahhh wonderful memories indeed.

I guess the "next generasi" would only recognize touch screens and iPads, no more eraser games or 5 stones for them. But being the generation that we are, it's amazing to look back and see how we ourselves went through the transition from "Apple? What's that?" to "OMG Wong Fu is coming!". This generasi has come a long long way and I believe we do shape how our social media will be like in the future, because we've come from both ends that tell two different stories, capturing the older generasi and the younger alike.

Looking forward to more amazing videos from our generasi's best YouTubers like Joseph Germani, The Grim Film, D Ming Thing too!

Wacky Wednesdays: Ads That'll Make You Laugh

I don't know about you, but I love watching ads. It's not so much because I'm so free that I sit and watch em, but it's more like I love watching good ads that crack up a good laugh.

There are so many ways to sell a product and we're so used to the "I love how this makes my skin smoother" sort of typical ads; but it's when someone comes up with an innovative way to tell a story that gets everyone's attention.

And here are some ads that got me laughing!

Wacky Wednesdays: Coffee-fied Jay Chou

Hong Yi (Red as she's known now), has gone all out to awe us again!

Wanted to post this last week because she actually updated her site with her new artwork but I was so compelled to write about Nick Pitera so it's a little bit late. What did she do this time? Like the title says, she did a Coffee Stain Portrait of Jay Chou!

Wacky Wednesdays: The One Man Disney Show

The video that first got me amazed today is by this guy named Nick Pitera who put up a "One Man Disney Movie", a medley of Disney songs with different characters sung by him alone. Imagine the editing, recording and effort put in to this video where he sings as the hero, the heroin, the villian, the sidekick, and even doing his own backup vocals!

And guess what, Nick Pitera is not only a YouTube sensation, he's also an animator at Pixar!

Wacky Wednesdays: Psycho Siri

What happens when Siri decides to take revenge? Andrew McMurry, an 18 year old aspiring filmmaker shows you what can happen when Siri goes psycho.

Check it out!

Wacky Wednesdays: The Art of Basketball

*UPDATE* Hong Yi's Jay Chou Coffee Stain Portrait

You can paint with a brush, your hands and maybe a potato like we used to in primary school for art. But painting with a basketball? Seriously?

As crazy as it seems, Hong Yi from Ohiseered did it and guess what she drew? Yes, it's the legend of basketball Mr. Yao Ming!

Wacky Wednesdays: Sing-a-ma-jigs

It's inevitable that the feel good staff will have a feel good time in our feel good office and one of our favourite toys is the sing-a-ma-jigs that one colleague got from a launching event.

Behold, the amazing sing-a-ma-jig!

Yes, we love to have fun! Gong Xi Fa Cai~

Love,
