Josh Soskin on SLR Craze and “Love Stinks”
Ewwwwwww. Well worth watching this cut down of a short by our man Josh Soskin.
We shot with the hvx200 with letus adapter package and nikon still lenses. edited myself in final cut pro and did all color correction with FCP and magic bullet.
Sound mixed at Todd AO West. Got a great sound [...]
video of the day: Diddy/Aziz Ansari smooth off
This branded spot for Siroc pretty much speaks for itself.
@tvcarnage’s Let’s Work It Out is amazing, disturbing
Derek Beckles might be the greatest videoartist of our time. His pilot for Adult Swim was deemed too weird/offensive. For Adult Swim. his Frankenstein amalgams of 80s/90s vhs pretty much created an entire scene of weirdos scouting flea markets and garages sales for hard to find VHS gems. And his latest opus, “Let’s Work It [...]
video of the day: @conanobrien @google
Kill the Pandora station this while you work this afternoon and listen to Conan’s Q & A at Google last week. Add to the list why of why he will be remembered as a media icon for our generation.
video of the day: Creativity is Derivative
Cool video by Nina Paley, who, if you don’t recognize the name, was the creative force behind (and main character of) the animated film Sita Sings the Blues, which got into trouble when it was unable to use 30s-era jazz songs which made up the majority of the score. Nina was able to find self-distribution [...]
VOD: create your own Google Search Story
Google’s Search Stories campaign turned mundane search into a charming story telling device. You probably saw “Parisian Love” during the Super Bowl, and now you can create your own Search Story with a simple tool on Youtube. It’s a pretty cool interactive twist– see what you can do with it…

video of the day: Creative Lives doc on Futura
Ever since the summer when I read both Fortress of Solitude and Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop, I’ve wanted to become more of connoisseur of graffiti’s early era in 70s New York. It still hasn’t happened, but I’m always interested in finding out stories about what has happened to those early pioneers, who stayed in the [...]
Video of the Day: Trailer For New Banksy Film
I feel like I’m a little too old/jaded/over Banksy to get excited about the prospect of his full-length feature doc. That being said, I’m pretty excited about the prospect of his feature film. I guess the undergrad cultural studies major in me dies hard. You can see more the film’s website.
surveillance, GPS and free stuff
There are so many cool elements to this campaign for Blu Dot’s high end “Real Good” chairs, it’s hard to know where to start. The basic premise is simple, Blu Dot and ad agency Mono planted 25 “Real Good” chairs ($129 each) around NY, covered by video surveillance and GPS/Twitter tracking. The chairs [...]
Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Commercials
Can’t really F with Tim & Eric. Dope show. Dope Music Videos. And now dope commercials. AFI or somebody needs to court them to do a masterclass in both editing and visual effects.

votd: CS5 Photoshop-Content-Aware Feature
So this clip has rightfully been making the arounds among media-types all day, because, if it’s for real, is going to change the way graphic designers/creative-suite users work. It’s definitely worth a minute to check the video out and consider the implications of content-awareness applications not just in photoshop, but in aftereffects. The hours [...]
votd: fuck shit stacked
This was produced by our SXSW/real-life bros, Loose World, and is blowing up the internet right now. Super innovative. Sorry for the weak amount of posting this week. Catch us on twitter, foursquare and other nerdy platforms all week. Austin!!!
the new music videos: interview with isaac ravishankara
Isaac Ravishankara and I go way back to “film school,”* so it’s been exciting to watch his visually dynamic, often hilarious music videos popping up all over—most recently at the MTV VMAs. I caught up with him to chat about indie vs. big budget production, the DSLR “revolution,” and music video distribution models. You know, [...]
votd: BLU – Amnesia/Noir Mashup
I’m already a big fan of Blu. Great soulful MC from long beach, who seemingly has it all. Good flow, smart, funny lyrics, careful song craft and great beats. So I’m already inclined to like this video. That being said, I REALLY LIKE THIS VIDEO. I’m pretty sure it’s unofficial, but the mashup of the [...]
VOTD: nailing every tech entrepreneur cliché
“You should follow me cuz I’m friends with Ashton” raps the New Dork, waving a copy of Fast Company with Ashton Kutcher on the cover (the same issue that floated around our old office for months). This viral Empire State of Mind parody nails pretty much every San Francisco tech entrepreneur cliché– it’s like bingo [...]
VOTD: i hates christmas
So, for those of you casual Urgensia readers, Urgent Content has been sourcing content for Flip Video’s fall campaign from a wide variety of creators. We’ve gone out to Flip’s user base to see what kinds of clips they have, and I wanted to share one of the better ones we’ve received. It’s a [...]
Pasta, a brew, and some Chat Roulette
Ok, I’ll admit it, I’m obsessed with CR. Before we started Urgent Content, the Bonrz crew (@faketv, @henrygoldman, @bjstein, and yours truly @the_bg) were contemplating a potential dating site idea… We went so far as to review the thesis of and meet with the author of a major paper on online dating and then subject [...]
