We Didn’t Start the Viral
Have you noticed how Billy Joel’s ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’ has been popping up in videos about, well, video? First there was Dan Meth’s Internet People, which loosely used the song’s structure, but not its melody to give an animated retrospective on viral video: Then there was Cakke’s The Internet Stars are Viral, which used Joel’s actual tune in a kind of hyper-clip show of Internet memes: And just recently, we’ve been treated to Not Another Bubble by The Richter Scales, which borrows the song to have a laugh at this whole Internet video thing: So, is this the last we’ll hear of ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’? Is there another song more well-suited to retrospective? Or will someone create a whole new video summing up this phenomena? -Kent, Yahoo! video Team

YoungCuts film Festival
Recently we’ve received a lot of uploads from The Young Cuts film Festival, a hybrid online/real world exhibit for film makers under the age of 25. Their goal is to get young directors and animators noticed. The 2008 film Festival is taking place in Montreal in August of 2008. Submissions are accepted until February 28th, 2008. So, to all of our awesome video creators: you can still submit! There’s a lot of strong work out there. Here’s a sample of some of the videos that have impressed me. Check out the rest of their channel here: Archaic Blues: Love and War: Avarice: (note this one’s a little on the dark side) -Kent, Yahoo! video Team
