Sat, 25 Jun 2011 01:41:00 -0700 "Bad Lip Reading": Meta-Viral Video Phenomenon http://fotofah.posterous.com/bad-lip-reading-meta-viral-video-phenomenon http://fotofah.posterous.com/bad-lip-reading-meta-viral-video-phenomenon
Bad Lip Reading: Meta-Viral Video Phenomenon

This is simply amazing.
Someone is taking popular music videos, then changing the lyrics of the song to sync with the movement of the singer’s lips. [Hence the moniker "Bad Lip Reading."]

From Douglas Wolk coverage of the phenomenon:

BLR first came to prominence with “Gang Fight,” a riff on Rebecca Black’s inescapable quasi-hit “Friday” that kept its video intact but constructed an entirely new song around what Black appeared to be singing–a different tune, a different arrangement, and a totally inverted if wildly incoherent sentiment.

Exhibit A: Original video for Ludacris’ “My Chick Bad”

Exhibit B: The Bad Lip Reading revision, “Magic Man”

I want to know you, Bad Lip Reading.

Evidently even better examples are on YouTube from them: "everybody poops", "asian baby", "hot jumping beans". A HT to my daughter-in-law for this phenomenon.

Fri, 24 Jun 2011 15:20:00 -0700 The ultimate Disney music mash-up [video] http://fotofah.posterous.com/the-ultimate-disney-music-mash-up-video http://fotofah.posterous.com/the-ultimate-disney-music-mash-up-video

What’s your favorite Disney tune? Hakuna Matata? Part of Your World? Whatever tune from the house of mouse makes you smile most, you will likely get your head grooving on with a mash-up of all the top songs.

Remix master Pogo took a single chord from classics like “The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” and “Sleeping Beauty” and strung them together to create an oddly hypnotic ditty.

This is the video for my track ‘Bloom’, a patchwork of vocals and musical chords from various Disney films. I recorded the harp sample from ‘Sleeping Beauty’, and a series of chords from ‘A.I: Artificial Intelligence’ to form the base of the chorus. The vocals are sampled from Disney films, each of which are illustrated in this video.

BMX rider Jed Mildon completed the world's first triple backflip on his bike, seemingly defying the laws of gravity in the process. Martin Berman talks to Mildon to find out how he prepared himself for the record-breaking feat.

Full story at Discovery News.

More news from Discovery Communications.

I'd seen the original video, but this one adds much more to what was involved (including failing several times first).

Tue, 21 Jun 2011 19:22:00 -0700 good post today on using LIghtroom and Perfect Layers (esp. if you don't have Photoshop), 2 short videos http://fotofah.posterous.com/good-post-today-on-using-lightroom-and-perfec http://fotofah.posterous.com/good-post-today-on-using-lightroom-and-perfec

This is just the first of the two videos on the page.

They feature Matt Kloskowski (one of the top teachers in the world for Adobe Lightroom) and Brian Matiash, from onOne Software.

Note the mention on the page of a $35 discount for NAPP members (as I am). Probably even better was the very, very low price onOne gave me on the phone as an academic user of their software.

This wasn't the first time they were very gracious to me. I once checked with them about a webinar they'd offered, but didn't do online. They very generously gave me $150 worth of my choice of software from their company(!)

Thu, 16 Jun 2011 17:57:00 -0700 Ridiculously cool choreographed indoor skydiving [2:17 min. video] http://fotofah.posterous.com/ridiculously-cool-choreographed-indoor-skydiv http://fotofah.posterous.com/ridiculously-cool-choreographed-indoor-skydiv
Media_httpfarm3static_loalf

A quartet of professional skydivers spin, twirl, and flip around each other at the Skydive Arena in Prague, putting on a jaw dropping show that makes the idea of having your feet on the ground seem totally boring. Don’t try this at home, kids (unless you have a wind tunnel in the basement, in which case, go for it).

Get extreme.

Probably the most unusual video you'll see this week.

Don't try this with a full stomach... ;-)

Going seventy without a seat belt is one thing, but doing it without a car? That’s extreme.

Ouch.
