Viral Video Film School

This is the best internet show about internet videos period. Its also better than the ones on tv, although Web Soup is pretty funny because I like Chris Hardwick and they make original shorts.



This is pretty straight forward, he probably uses an iMac or something, coupled with Final Cut Pro or even iMovie, shit idk. The process is simple, watch a buttload of internet videos, download them, record yourself talking about them, insert said internet videos, add text and background music and bam. It has to be pretty time consuming still though, to go through all the crap on the internet all day.

Anyways, I like the idea of using viral videos in a show. It makes for a good joke that is relevant to todays culture. Nothing says "stop channel surfing and watch me" like internet content on cable tv.

We totally stole this idea by the way, if you watched the first show Spencer does a segment titled "Web Riffs" which is the exact same thing as VVFS. Im not afraid of saying it, we stole the idea, straight up. But we dont need to have original ideas at this point in our career, some big studio is just going to steal your good idea and do it better anyways because we are poor and have limited resources. I say write down your good original creative ideas in a notebook or something, and when you are loaded you have a book of good ideas. Its like a piggy bank for ideas.
