It’s only May so far, but Adweek have posted the 20 most viral films of the year (so far).

At No.1 is this very clever ide,a watched over 30 million times by TNT, the entertainment channel.

One of the joys of the digital age. Longer format entertainment without a big media spend attached.

 

Look Around, literally!

Here’s an amazing music video from Red Hot Chilli Peppers that is a truly new music video experience. You are free to look around at any of the four band members’ rooms… and believe me, you’ll want to see what each person does! Enjoy! :)

Is this an ad?

What do you think? Once again, OK GO makes a splash on social media with another amazing music video. I have not much to say about the song though!

Jeniffer Aniston takes a poke at ‘viral’ videos with this ad for Smart Water. The question, however, still remains… what’s so smart about the water???

Cebu Pacific FA’s Dancing

Friday, October 8th, 2010

Tonight I’m flying down to Oz on my favorite airline – Thai Airways of course.

Simon (thank you!) drew my attention to this viral filmed on-board a Cebu Pacific flight.  In just one week it has gotten over 8,000,000 (yes eight million) views.

Amazing.

Giving people a smile and showing your humanity sure beats talking about it.

Nigel and Victoria ….

…. is an on-line comedy series from Philips, show-casing its new products in the context of this comedy.

Eight episodes are planned. Each 3-4 minutes long, in a slightly cringey “Office-like” embarrassing way.

Guess if you can get folk to spend 30 mins choosing to look at advertising for your products, you’ve done something. 

Unless they’re really just looking at Victoria.

 

Scare Easily?

Viewer Warning:  Strong Language.

Heard of Chatroulette?  The random webcam social media, where you don’t know who you might be paired with?

The Last Exorcism (new) movie used it to launch their film.

Viewers are filmed reacting to the viral …. of a pretty girl they think they are about to chat with.

 

In its first six days this got 1.3 million YouTube views.

Shocking indeed.

Last year Philips took the Cannes Film Grand Prix for its “Carousel” short-movie below.

 

Now they’ve followed up this mini-film idea with a series of five mini-films…. “Parallel Lines” by Philips and Ridley Scott  Associates.

Here’s the official teaser:

 

And the trailer ….

 

And the films.  Bold stuff.

 

And the sixth film?

Yours!

Chatroulette Piano Improv

A really funny video clip of a piano improv on Chat Roulette. I expected participants on chat roulette to be slightly older though – an interesting insight.
