YouTube.
May 19, 2008
YouTube is an amazing phenomenon. Did you know that videos like “The Evolution of Dance” have been viewed over 85 million times? 85 million…just to watch some comedian dance on stage. OK, I have to give the guy props. The dancing is good. Clever idea. I was number 84,999, 999. He should fire the spotlight operator, though. Total screwball.
I recently began trying my hand at the ol’ YouTube thing. Had a kid. Got a Flip video camera. Practiced a bit with iMovie HD on the Mac. And voilá. Instant Scorsese. I’m working on a “year in the life” concept. The first year of my son’s life. Small moments captured on video, then edited into a short little memoir for him. Something that is sure to mortify him when he’s old enough to understand what his mother has done.
Check out the masterpiece. So far, we have 62 views. My husband and I have surely racked up about 50 of those between the two of us, with a few friends and relatives added to the mix. Only 84,999,938 to go.
