Bronwen mentioned this video on twitter maybe a month ago.
Lip Dub – Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger from amandalynferri on Vimeo
We did this video one night after work. We are a company called Connected Ventures, a group of friends who work for: Vimeo, CollegeHumor, Busted Tees, and Defunker.
This is posted on the Vimeo video sharing site, which I hadn’t heard of until – you guessed it – I was pointed to this cool and entertaining video.
What do I think of it?
- I feel much older, less creative and fatter.
- It perked me up.
- Millenial geeks are cute.
- If they can produce something like this with equipment I have lying around my house, how can movie makers and mainstream media hope to impress this generation?
- I hope that it is, as I suspect, just a viral video produced by Connected Ventures to promote Vimeo, or else that the kids were paid heavy bonuses for the traffic it brings to the site.
- I hope that they were also paid bonuses by Busted Tees, another company they work for and whose product many of them are wearing.
- Oohhh look…what does Defunker do…?
- Hmmmmm…. game set and match to clever marketers.
What if we hired some millennial geeks to weave through our library services, lips syncing and looking cute. Could we go viral?
