Take On Me, Literally!

So, I know that literal version of music videos has been done before. But normally, it's a mashed-up interpretation of a popular song with widely unknown lyrics (one of my favorites being the misheard lyrics to Pearl Jam). As a welcomed twist on the music parody scene, dustin films re-recorded the song to mimic the actions playing out in the video. To quote videogum, "if viral videos could get book deals, this viral video would be on your coffee table."

YouTube Allows Users to "Buy Stuff"

How many times have you seen a YouTube video and just had to buy a product or a service related to the video? Ok, never. But still, if you want to spend your hard earned cash in these times of looming recession, now you can do it directly from YouTube. (via Mashable)

This is actually a pretty big deal for independent artist and media companies who now have a chance to turn a profit from music downloads and DVD sales. Before this new integration, publishers were pushing fans to another site — where they had to fill out all of their info — and lost many potential buyers who weren’t in the mood or didn’t have the time. This new YouTube program will lead to a new stream of profitability for web creators and I accept the challenge of finding a way to tap into it.

Seth MacFarlane: Oh, How We Adore You

Seth MacFarlane launched his online-only animated series Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy today. The show is the second example in the past few month of TV producers developing their own project on the web. Will the freedom of the net attract more studio talent? Either way, the man is funny and I am excited that he has come to join our little web party. Here's one of his first episodes:

More Toys for Tink!

For a cat vs. mouse video, I think this has some notable production value. The low angles combined with a come-hither kitty stare add up to an all-around entertainment.

N, Not Your Everyday Series

Promoting Stephen King's upcoming book, this mind-distorting series combines the visual stylings of a graphic novel with a chilling tale of suspense.

Beaker Beats

Some web savvy Muppets have surfaced on the internet singing some of their favorite classic tunes. Check out this ode to joy from Beaker, everyone's favorite puppet scientist!

Pee Pee Pees

It's no secret that long road trips and over-sized sodas don't mix. In this episode of Sony Digital's Rodents, Pee Pee bargains with Buttercup for a pit stop.
