Hyper Local YouTube Stars
As I stepped out of my home on Saturday to a beautiful day, I smiled at the USPS delivery lady who was approaching me with mail in hand. My smile was topped by her shit eating grin, which was confounding, mail delivery people hadn’t been this nice since the 60’s.
“You’re laughing at me, aren’t you?” [...]
Grassroots Media Report from Haiti
We have to do our due diligence and get in touch with this org, Cine Institute, if/when things calm down there. Moving coverage, challenging images. Our hearts go out to Haiti. Thank you to basho for submitting this link.
Shooting in Dubai from guest blogger: Josh Soskin
Dubizzling in Dubai.
I recently went out to Dubai to visit a friend who runs dubizzle.com (basically the craigslist of the United Arab Emirates and a good resource for filmmakers if they are traveling in the region). We also made some good future connections out there for production work. Dubai is booming in every possible way [...]
2010's Rubick's Cube… New Journalism
We really like what Leonard (Len) Witt is doing in the space of “sustainable journalism” as the Robert D. Fowler Distinguished Chair in Communication at Kennesaw State University (phew!), he’s chief blogger at pjnet.org. His interviews with academics and influencers in the space are off the cuff and worth checking out if you’re interested in [...]
Niche spoofs garner half-a-mill in hits?!?
Ok, so this video gets you nostalgic for the film La Haine, or maybe that’s just my only exposure to the banlieu of France… beyond that the video is aight. The real interesting thing here is that a Justice (relatively niche franco-electro group) can make a video that spawns a spoof of it, which [...]

Looks like plaid shirts haven’t missed any sort of hip enclave of culture… It’s ok, because the Clipse and Cam’ron could wear footie pj’s and still be the coolest dudes on the block. Nobody can really pull off the “we’re just on the block chillin’ and this video cost us only $7k” swagger like [...]
UPS brand loyalty
UPS Brand Loyalty from Urgent Content on Vimeo.
Biking to work this AM I couldn’t miss the tat on the UPS man unloading his truck.. It was so bold, and striking. There had to be a story behind it, but alas, it was what henry referred to as “old school blue collar” mentality. [...]
"The agony of war, victory, defeat"
It’s that U-God of the Wu-Tang Clan’s line that comes to mind when I read the name of Jon Winsor’s newly announced agency “Victors and Spoils”.
We’re very excited to see what this new venture will bring to the world of both advertising and crowdsourcing. We had the pleasure of connecting with John for a [...]
Treasure Island '09 – Sourcing the Crowd
Treasure Island (Girl Talk Show) from Urgent Content on Vimeo.
You know, we’ve been really busy. Like real real busy that we (or I) have not had much opportunity to go out and see shows, wil’ out, etc… I did make it out to the Treasure Island Music fest in SF this past Saturday. There were [...]
part time beat maestros
gotta give it up to this dude here for doing his self promotion proper like. big ups to urgent content fam chris martz, who’s been doing some urgent motion graphics work in exchange for his flight out to sf and a floor to sleep on. them SCAD alumni are grimey and talented with theirs. apparently [...]
interns
we need one. and hank is opposed to having one come help us even though i think there’s a ton of experience and knowledge to be gained. he must have some foul memories of intern days himself. steve-tern, featured here, was the best intern i ever met.
1st SPAM comment on the blog! wo0t
will somebody please get to the bottome of this comment here… it’s origins in some clandestine clan of russian mafia nerds.
Ultimate brand enthusiast (i.e. nutso)
We’re down with brand evangelizing and all… but for real? Please email us if you have a tat of Greenpeace. Chris here has now been featured in the Audi owner newsletter, congratulations, he can now die a happy man.
Killa Cam
Nice quick response by Kodak here. Even though they had a really crap name for a product that sounds to be alright, they “flipped” the script and got some good press out of a naming contest. Over 2000+ comments on the Kodak blog. I like “the zipper” although I may be [...]
Conversational Conversion
Just peep how many video responses this has sparked. Molly will have a talk show, mark my words.
What kind of boots?
LOOSEWORLD X WALE X DUBfrequency from Loose World on Vimeo.
Really dig Wale… Really. Dude has a fresh sound, really speaks to the grown hip hopper in me while playing to a slightly younger generation that grew up on a post shot in the mouf 50 cent. But even though this NIKE name dropping homage is [...]
Washington Post dropping coals (not gems) on the "Digital Nomad"
It’s really early on in our blog’s lifespan to be talking sh*t about large publications, especially established ones like the Wash Post… It’s hard not to comment though on this original video they created to accompany a lackluster article on the “Digital Nomad”.
Initially, we were just going to post the article, and comment on how [...]
New Max Joseph/GOOD video
Our ace in the hole creative consiglierie, Max Joseph, has a new video live for our friends at GOOD magazine. This is gonna be a hot series, I have a feeling. We’re starting a magazine called HOT, so watch out Summer ‘10. I wonder why there’s no mention of foot sex in this vid though.
