North Phoenix ATA - Ninja Rap

My daughter takes Karate lessons at the local ATA school and this is a project we worked on during a summer camp program. Everyone in the video is a black belt at the school either as a student or as a teacher. The "villian" is the owner and his wife, also a teacher and black belt, was the one who came up with the video concept and coordinated everyone. They did all the fight and dance choreography and I provided the video production.

I have never worked with a more focused and disciplined group of people, especially such a large one, on such a complex project. It all went incredibly smoothly considering how much we had taken on.

Video Activism - United Breaks Guitars

Good old fashion video activism at it's finest. Don't mess with musicians in the age of YouTube! The original video got over 4 million hits!!

And Taylor Guitars also responded:



Finally, the resolution on how it all turned out:

John Stewart takes on Jim Cramer and CNBC

This is one of the most stunning and truth telling interviews I have seen in a long time. It is well worth the commercials that Comedy Central shows in these clips before you can see them. It is the complete, uncut, uncensored, interview from John Stewart's show last week which was the climax of a week long battle he had with CNBC about their betrayal of the public in their reporting on the factors that led to today's economic collapse. These include the footage that they had to edit out due to time constraints of the show.

To me, this is required viewing for anyone interested in the state of today's media empires.

Bite Me, Warner Brothers

One YouTuber was not pleased at the recent spate of video removals because Warner Brothers was claiming copyright infringement for use of music without permission on member's videos.
