YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

My collection of videos should be plenty to start off lots of interesting conversations. Also, i'd really appreciate it if you guys would rate my videos, and if possible, comment them.

Thanks

"September 11th, World Trade Center Video, Smile!"

Dude, what is this supposed to mean? I know the song is "...while your heart is breaking" but that is in poor taste. Nobody should be asked to smile looking at that.

I don't want to pick on you, but you asked for comment.

Um.. it's a very sad song. But also one that asks the listener to be hopeful.

centerchannel68 · May 8, 2007, 10:00 PM

Your videos are lame as ****, actually. Half of them are some old guy, the other half are mildy edited trailers with new music. Total crap. Sorry.

Railroader · May 8, 2007, 10:13 PM

Are you serious?!?! WTF?

So, you take movie trailers and add classical music as a "soundtrack" to the trailer?!?!

And at the end you have no audio fade out you just cut the sound at the end of the movie trailer.

This "work" you have done is amazingly bad. Words can't express how bad it is. It is terrific in the most pure sense of the word.

And now, a cat picture.

Dakarʒ · May 8, 2007, 10:13 PM

I haven't watched anything, but the thread title oozes greatness.

Railroader · May 8, 2007, 10:16 PM

Do. Not. View. The Videos. [/DELMAR]

macgeek2005 · May 8, 2007, 10:47 PM

Fine, nevermind. Alot of people really like my work.. but I guess you guys have no taste for classical music.

The old guy videos are just there for fun. Don't take them seriously. My real work are the movie trailers and scenes from movies. I took scenes from lord of the rings, and put a different soundtrack to them!

It's definitely oozing all right.

I think you should make a video of you pooping in your ex girlfriend's kitchen.

I think you mean, "Funny old man pooping in my ex-girlfriend's kitchen."

your "work" consists of do nothing extraordinary or even slightly talented. congratulations on being less than mediocre!

Check out the "Departure of Boromir - Life of David Gale" video, the "Symphony No. 2 in D Minor" video, the "Flight to the Ford - Mendelssohn" video, and the "Babel Music Video - Mozart Lacrimosa" video.

Thanks

Dude.... okay.... is this macgeek character real? Like a really real person? Or is this some elaborate persona of total ****ing lameness? I don't get how this youtube video collection could actually have a real person who really made them and was proud of them... I don't see how this could be real. I think someone from another forum, or an older member of these forums, is playing a huge prank on us.

I'm real. Did you look at the videos I specifically named as good ones?

edit: I removed the old man avocado series. It was crap.

I agree, he needs to take lessons from whoever made this movie trailer.

My "trailers" are more like "Music videos". Classical Music fitting to the motions and visuals on the screen.

But, hey, he's going to make $300,000 doing this. Remember?

Maybe I found out about this set of YouTube videos here a few weeks ago, but here it is:

Movies in five seconds

Most of them are pretty good - at least, I think so.

wolfen · May 9, 2007, 07:33 AM

Why look at mgeek's videos? This thread is all the entertainment I need.

Jesus Christ people, do you all have to be so damn harsh and rude? Can you not bring yourself to deal with a 15 year old a little more adult like? Teasing him is one thing, but going right for the jugular is another...

Dakarʒ · May 9, 2007, 08:03 AM

Maybe he should be showing his work to people his own age?

design219 · May 9, 2007, 08:06 AM

MacGeek, you should look at the prank call thread. You may have dodged a bullet by dumping your girlfriend.

The problem is that macgeek2005 has already established himself as an easy target. Had anyone else posted this, (a)it wouldn't have included the "these videos are so awesome you'll be talking about them for days" attitude, and (b)people would have just said "it's a good start, but try to be more original" or something like that.

Plus, it's the internet(tm). Allowing nerds to beat up the bullies since 1992.

Hey MacGeek, you do know that normally using music like this would require paying royalties, right?

Only if you're selling it.

Does that apply when you are not selling?

besson3c · May 9, 2007, 09:03 AM

Don't you have to at least credit the artist and label even if you aren't selling the work?

Dakarʒ · May 9, 2007, 09:04 AM

Uh, no.

That would be the decent and informative thing to do.

He's 16. 16's fair game, right?
