"YouTube-It" Proposal
More teeming, untapped
talent exists out there in the ocean of the internet like a vast, natural
resource that the corporate brass has yet to figure out how to farm, much less
direct toward "any kind of good use" that might turn a profit. Increasingly,
media companies are squeezing "what they got" for every last penny until what
you have for the shareholders are a couple of shriveled roots, and nothing more.
My proposal for YouTube, a subsidiary of "Google", is to offer a grant to
garage-level filmmakers and editing geniuses to make a valuable product that
rises above "the amboeatic slurry" of your typical run-of-the-mill video and
actually make something that you could park commercials in front of. . . . . the
difference being, that guys like me and my brother could actually come up with
low-fi, "street-level" commercials and videos and scripted movie "web-i-sodes" and product placement "and
whatever else" to push the ads and relate to the consumer "on an intuitive
level" not seen since the peak of 1980's advertising, as the pendulum once more
swings back the other way but this time with winking "Wayne's World" irony.
"Insufferable Industries" could be the ticket, a potential low-cost, high-yield
"blockbuster" of an investment that knows "how to hustle, rib, and shock". So whaddya say?
Meanwhile, check out this golden nugget. . . . .
"The Arcane Secret of Effective Product Placement". . . . . is that you show the product, poke fun at the product in a clever, "down-to-earth" way, and make the viewer wish to consume the product-- by appealing a bit to a nostalgic, sentimental "brand loyalty" that we may have once carried in the magical world of childhood, thus unifying the inner conflicted levels of conscious in this hurting, pathetic "modern world" without fundamentally "misleading them with hype" or a dishonest "sales-pitch" that suggests "more than it delivers" as we sigh again and collapse into a depression. It puts the humanity back in advertising while telling "a good joke".
FURTHERMORE. . . . . . here are some demos for your consideration. Enjoy!
