Justin Bieber, Selena and Ashley Tisdale: Here's My Number, Call Me Maybe?

Justin Bieber, Selena and Ashley Tisdale all headline a simple new video by Carly Rae Jepsen.  It's a cute poppy song but what's interesting? Well it's moving stong on the viral video charts and there's no big budget here... simple camera setup with a bunch of them singing to a stationary camera.  Nothing fancy... no smoke machines, dolly or crane shots.... just a song and some silly group dancing. 

Simple Story, Powerful Story - Keep it SIMPLE

Keep it simple... never more true than it is in visual storytelling.  In this piece suporting healthcare reform, no shot is wasted, no words are spoken or needed.  A simple lonely piano track makes it a sad story, yet it reinforces the power of the piece.  No shots are wasted.  Every shot is well composed.  This is good film.  Well done. 

JK Wedding Entrance Dance - 10M views and going strong

This is a great albeit simple video that has been recreated on the Today show (over the weekend) and viewed more than 10 million times this past month.  You can't embed the video on a site (not sure why but YouTube won't let you), so here's the link. The music is a track from Chris Brown of all people! JK Wedding Entrace Dance  My favorite parts of the video are the entrance of the groom and the ecstatic look of the bride as she glows and boogies down the aisle. It's good pure video.
