Just when I was ready to move on from my coverage of Streaming Media East, and start planning for Streaming Media West, I found one more story that had to be told. This video was blowing up all over blogosphere and I had to share here. It involved industry blogger and viral video genius, Kevin Nalts, who moderated a panel discussion about creating and promotion viral videos and as he says on his blog, "So I took a deliberate spill while hosting a panel at Streaming Media East called “Creating and Promoting Amateur Videos.” Paul Kontonis, CEO of For Your Imagination, screamed like a teenage girl, but was one of few people that realized it was a joke." Nalts added that, "The fall is 1 minutes and 9 seconds in. Warning: Per my YouTube video today explaining this, when you do a pratfall that people think is real, you’ve backed yourself into a corner. If you say “I was just kidding,” you simple make it look like you’re saving face. So I didn’t bother to explain."
Here's his YouTube video below that immortalizes the pratfall.
Also, here's the official Streamingmedia.com video below, produced by Scribe Media, along with the session description from the conference program.
Thanks for the shout out. Is it just me or does Obama Girl creator Ben Relles look like an evil genius in that thumbnail?
ReplyDeleteHey Nalts, thanks for the comment.
ReplyDeleteYou know Ben Relles does have an intense look which could give that impression. He's smiling in all his other pictures. Google him and you'll see what I mean.
Anyhow, Luv ya, luv your work!!
