PummelVision

Here's a pretty cool site: pummelvision.com. PummelVision takes photos from either your Dailybooth, Dropbox, Facebook, Flickr, Instagram, or Tumblr site and puts them all together in a short video with music. Once you have selected where to pull the pictures from, you can choose to post this video to YouTube or Vimeo. After the video has been created and uploaded to Vimeo or YouTube, you will receive an email letting you know that the video has been published. Below is an example video taken from my instagrams.

Fruit Ninja: Taking Someone Else's Idea Done Right

It is very difficult to come up with a novel idea that becomes successful. For every successful channel such as Freddiew and FinalCutKing, there are thousands of imitators who attempt to emulate their traits with little success. One of the most popular and imitated videos on Youtube is FinalCutKing's "I am Fruit Ninja" with over sixty video responses. Our team wanted to take advantage of the popularity of the video and game without looking like another cheap carbon copy.  The video ended up being the most liked, viewed and commented video response by far. How did we do it? The first thing we did was study all the differences we could find between the original video and the video responses. Such differences included camera placement, background, presentation, acting, pacing and seemingly trivial details such as size and color of the fonts.  The next step was to figure out how we could make it better. First, we realized that all the backgrounds were either black, a hastily photoshopped image or took place in someone's living room. We set to find a background that could pass as a place in which a Ninja would train. More importantly we noticed that not a single video out of all the video responses had martial arts, which is one of the most known characteristics of the ninja! Luckily for us, we had martial artists in our team. Good things can happen from taking someone's idea, but only if you put the effort in to contribute your share and make it better. After all, it's not just the idea that brings success, it's the execution. I'm certain we all know plenty of people who could learn this.

I'm Back

Hello, my fellow friends.

My name is Kieran Greene. I have just recently come back to the YouTube community after a dry spell of being away. In the video above I hope that I can clearly explain my goals, plans and hopes for my new YouTube Channel.

I have been been online since 2008 when I first got my MacBook Pro. I have previous experience on my old YouTube Channel when it came to making videos and editing. What I hope to do now is combine all those skills and qualities I have gained and to make this professional Channel. I won't go into detail here, but if you wish to find out more please do watch the SHORT video above.

If you have any questions, please don't be afraid to leave a comment below or message me on Twitter.

Thank You,

Kieran Greene
