There’s been so many great videos this weekend – hats off to the DIY curatorial team for really putting together a great show! It’s been great fun to see the videos usually seen in tiny little windows on the big screen. A few videos particularly stood out to me, and not too surprisingly, many of them made by young vidders.
Chongalicious: a great spoof on the song “Fergalicious”
Slip of the Toungue: A girl at a bus stop responds to the question ‘what is your ethnic makeup?’
Black Doll White Doll – a strong and sad discussion of race by talented young girls. Pre-schoolers still choose the white doll.
In My Language – an incredibly original, eloquent and powerful vlog by an autistic woman. Watch it.
Ballad of Black Mesa – this piece that will blow away most of the videos on MTV. The program describes it as “Half-Life 2 meets iPod commercial meets stomp.”
Bush vs. Zombies – George Bush addresses the zombie threat.
Mad as Hell – walking manifesto about work, life, and vlogging
Bomb, Bomb, Bomb. Bomb, bomb Iran – scary. funny. scary. watch this if you’re even thinking about voting for John McCain.
George Bush don’t like Black People – very cool remix about Katrina
The summit will be putting many of the videos screened up on their site soon. Be sure to check them out!
