Past Videos

The videos from last term were all quite entertaining. In particular, I enjoyed the Rich Rod Press Conference and the Conversion. The idea behind the Rich Rod press conference is not a new idea and has been used in many Coors Light commercials. We therefore know people are entertained by mash-up interviews such as these. They asked bizarre questions which made it funny and the movie was made very well. I would definitely recommend that video to someone else.
I also found the Conversion hilarious. We all know that movie trailers can be successful viral videos and this movie trailer is made very well. It over exaggerates something that will have minimal effect on our lives as if it would be apocalyptic. The concept of a conversion having such a large effect on our lives is what makes it funny.
After viewing all the videos, I realized the majority were mash-up videos. When done well, mash up videos are very entertaining and have great potential to go viral.
