Pole Dancers In The Wild…

There are great pole dancers and then there are bad pole dancers. But when it comes down to it, the best stuff is “Au Naturel”. Check out this dancer who gets down with the “bearest” of necessities…

Another Chinese Propaganda Video…

With the upcoming Olympics in Beijing this August 2008, or 08/08/08 for all you lucky Chinese out there, China has sent a series of viral videos to YouTube to discredit the athletic ability of the visiting countries. This latest video that was shot somewhere in the United States is targeted directly at the US Gymnastic Team…

2008 Dot Com Taipei The Video!

It’s pretty clear that everyone in the Dot Com Crew that made it overseas had a wicked time in Taipei, Taiwan. We put up at ton of coverage of COMPUTEX 2008, ate out of toilets, dodged scooters but were eventually shut down by John Chow’s Evilness as he got us banned from Pho. Although there are still many videos to process and upload, I thought I’d give you guys a small teaser of what I’ve got in store. This video is a compilation of some clips that I put together to the tune of Weezer’s Pork and Beans single, a video that seems to celebrate Internet Stardom, even though the lyrics don’t seem to have anything to do with that.

The video features Ed Lau, Michael Kwan, John Chow with cameos from Jason of Techwarelabs (singing with John Chow). Enjoy!

No iPhones or Flip Flaps were harmed in the filming of this production. Speaking of which, don’t forget that I’m the only blog giving away Flip Flp…oh, and a “non Market Leverage Branded” iPod nano. What does that mean exactly? It means that I didn’t engrave my name and your name onto it so that you can’t sell it or give it away again. If you want in on this contest, click here for the details.

Another Flipping Edition of Dot Com Pho

Man, there was so much footage at today’s Dot Com Pho! Part of the job of editing is to be able to keep what is important and what isn’t. With only a 10 minute window via YouTube, this task was made all the more difficult. Because of all the extra time spent on sorting all these clips, I had to go back to iMovie 08 which I am much more familiar with. Though I didn’t do too bad with last week’s video using iMovie HD, I felt I spent far too much time fiddling with the advanced features. As a result, there were a lot of transitions and fancy stuff that I wouldn’t normally use in the last video. I feel that this week’s video is definitely a lot cleaner and I hope that you see some of your feedback in it.

For this week, I focused more on the people of Dot Com Pho. I focused on Michael Kwan’s unfortunate need to sell himself for 50% off, Greg Morgan’s love for Michael Landsberg, Gary Ng’s obsession with gaming John Chow’s Blog. Of course we have the Super EGO himself, John Chow and his thoughts on not thinking at all. We also have a new member indoctrinated into the Dot Com Crew. Ray (can’t remember your last name) of FlipVancouver has reached “regular” status (whatever that means) and John Chow presented him with one of the many free USB drives that he poached from Gigabyte who is one of the sponsors of this week’s event. Ed Lau also makes a brief appearance as he bitches about his accommodations.

So who’s video reigns supreme this week?

Stephen Fung’s - Another Flipping Edition of Dot Com Pho

John Chow’s - Dot Com Pho - Highly Leverage Edition

Again, if there are any comments on how my video can improve, please let me know. Hopefully you can see the indifference of a 30 minute edit job vs the care and craftmanship that is etched into 4 hr edit job. I kind of think of this like how the Incredible Hulk movies ended up. By rushing to the box office, John Chow made the first Hulk movie. Then I have to come along and remake it into something that you can be proud of and I think it’s easy to see the difference.

Don’t forget that Flip Flap, who you see in the beginning title screen of this week’s video, still needs a new home. If you want to win Flip Flap along with an iPod nano that doesn’t have a stupid Market Leverage logo laser etched onto it so that you can’t sell or give away again, then check out this post to find out how to enter to win.
