I’m workin’ on it …

Accidentally hit the “publish” button, so if you’re reading this right now, you’ll have to reload the page fairly frequently, about once a minute, or wait until I’ve posted the whole deal, which could be as late as 6 am, breakfast time — although in a dark house unencumbered by electricity, it’s your best guess. That was an “update” just then, if you thought you might have felt something. Continue reading

Magic Burger Tuesday

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGgK7bZVxzs&t=16s

As you can see, I’m making an omelette. I made more than 25 omelettes that morning, and it took a while, even with help in the kitchen, loading up the plates and serving the tables. Had I done all the jobs of cooking and serving, I’d still be at it several years later. You’ll note, if you view the video by clicking on the TITLE above, not the photo, this little video earned itself 1, 719 views, quite a feat for a simple egg dish! Continue reading

What to Believe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpWXhyFw-LE

Well, for one thing, we know what you CAN’T believe — anything the politicians say. You can always tell if they’re lying by the fact that their lips are moving. In the case of Zombie Jamboree, this is the start of the Zombie Family Hot Foods IPO video that didn’t get made yet, I’m still waiting for this thing to fly with a little help from my friends, which sounds really original, unless you’ve heard of the Beatles and yes, I’m getting a copy of the film, should be hilarious.

Captain Whistleblower

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYpudaNGxgw

No bullshit, to quote just about any Presidential candidate or passing Senatorial asshole, “Captain Whistleblower” was the name of one of my Saturday morning cartoon characters on a Saturday Morning Cartoon Show that Jim Carmichael and I put together, “The Impossibles”, which did not sell to anyone, although I understand the name is currently in use — no relation to our show. We ended up working on “Bullwinkle” in Mexico City. Continue reading

It’s all in an Eyeblink!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFQ91ccVKss

Here’s how it works:

First of all, the client sees what? It’s gotta be the thumbnail, followed closely by the title of the video, enshrined in two lines or less, right below the thumbnail, which is supposed to entice the client to click into the video, and thus be exposed, albeit briefly, to several options including “Like”, “Comment”, “Watch Video”, “Subscribe” and possibly even give a click-through the hotlink to your web page, in this case “http://www.brane-power.com” and hopefully on to a full exploration of the website.

But … but … But what if the thumbnail IS the destination? Continue reading

Your Neighborhood Tantra Fitness Center

Yes, here’s a bit of the Norton Street Play, which I’m hoping some theatrically-inspired group will produce and videotape so we can put the whole thing up on youtube! That’s what I had hoped when I posted this some four years ago on ejgoldguru. Well, maybe now it’s time to see it happen.

Get on Board!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZBA2bZd8OY

Ridiculous, you say? People know how to cut halvah, who doesn’t know how to cut halvah??? Well, the fact is, most people have never even tried it, so here’s a video for them!

Well, my stats went from an average of 200 hits a day on my ejgoldguru youtube channel to well over 1,000 hits a day, and they’re all over the map, from recent to decades-old videos, and it’s all due to the sharpening of the video marketing, meaning that I’ve put some time and effort into the barbs and hooks surrounding the video.
