Fringe Fridays (our nearly weekly look at animation and experimental video) seeks to inform, enlighten, entertain, and inspire. We don’t just want you to watch videos, we want you to make stuff happen. Today, we have something really special: Rob Schrab, the mad genius behind Monster House and co-creator of the Sarah Silverman Program, hosts Indy Mogul’s 4 Minute Film School. I could explain drawless animation (no, really, I could), but Rob does it way better.
It’s a much faster process than stop-motion, but still allows you to do some of the same things. Check out Indy Mogul for more home-brew video effects tips, and visit the behind-the-scenes playlist in our Animation Network.
So, your friend’s birthday is coming up and you just don’t feel like buying a Hallmark card. And yes, sending an ecard just seems a bit lazy (since you really should have sent the Hallmark). What are you, you 21st century video-savvy netizen, going to do?
A lot has changed with the new Yahoo! Video. We listened to a lot of feedback, really. We received many, many emails with the subject lines like “get bigger and longer” and we listened to that and upped our file size to 150 megabytes and created a widescreen player. We kicked our transcoders up to 700kpbs, changed our page layout, added embeddable playlists, networks, and much more.
So, any questions about the new Yahoo! Video? Anything you’re dying to know? Please use the comment space below to ask-away. And feel free to make suggestions too.
I love VH-1’s Best Week Ever. Not only do they use our player on their blog for posting clips from their show, but those clips are so good. And they save time, really. BWE brings you the best of trash television. Last week they treated us to a truly priceless Price is Right video. This week, we get a highlight completely embarrassing video from Judge Alex:
Ordinarily you’d have to watch thousands of hours of TV to happen upon these gems. But now, with Best Week Ever, you can just favorite their playlist, and watch the wonderful come rolling in.
