My favorite video online right now is my pal, Paul Andrie, gettting penalized against Rutgers because him and Delton Williams were on the field at the same time wearing #22.

This music video done by OKGO is one of my favorite YouTube videos, not only because I like the song, but also because of how creative it is.  There is no editing done at all yet the use of the video frame and platform is utilized really well.  I also find it entertaining and impressive.

By far one of my favorite videos, it literally never gets old! Has nothing to do with advertising but it always gives me a good laugh.

This is my favorite video for awhile on youtube. It was Chance the Rappers first music video that came out in 2013. I like how it's the body of his online and within his face projected is clips about what he is rapping about. The process he used created a very cool visual.

My favorite video is one I made last year for another class.  It was a class about women in America and really changed the way I viewed women, and myself.  I worked very hard on the video and it has a lot of meaning to me.  I'll watch it when I need a pick me up or some inspiration.

This is my favorite online video Taylor Swift- Bad Blood. This video won the MTV Music Video Award "the annual video" and the fifty-eighth annual Grammy Awards "best music video". Ten famous female stars show in this video , so I feel very wonderful. The whole MV is like watching a science fiction film, it is worth recommending.

My go to video is a live version of Stevie Ray Vaughan, "Life Without You". There are those that play music and there are musicians. This video clearly showes this talented muscian in the "zone".

I think this ad really sends a good message to girls and women.

My favorite online video is entitled "Hell's Club". It is a excellent mix of movie scenes that leads to a new story. It feature Scarface, Terminator, Star Wars, Saturday Night Fever and even Michael Jackson on his short movie for "Smooth Criminal".

This has to be my favorite Christmas commercial of all time. I love how strongly it evokes emotion among watchers, and it definitely gets me in the holiday spirit!

This is the Beauty and the Beast Full trailer for the movie coming out in 2017 with the trailer from 1991 for the original movie. The video has the trailers side by side so you can see the similarities and differences between the movies which I think is really cool.

This is one of my favorite movie trailers to date. Logan, the tenth installment in the X-Men franchise, has one of the most beautifully structured trailers I have ever seen. The story, mirroring the Old Man Logan comics, is set in a distant future where nearly all the mutants are dead. The use of the song "Hurt" by Johnny Cash in the trailer sets a notoriously dark and Western undertone. Although this is the second R-rated movie brought by Marvel Studios (with the first being Deadpool for its graphic violence, humor, and language) the movie is intended to set a violent, gory and dramatic precident. The momentum for the movie is currently through the roof, and the trailer is critically acclaimed. I am excited to see how the movie turns out.

This is an 18 minute Ted Talk video that is worth watching. It talks about the dangers of basing your opinions and judgements by only hearing a single story. I had to watch this for a class, and it is now my favorite video and its truly eye opening. 

Student

This is my second favorite video.

I do not watch a ton of videos on the internet but this year, my team and I got to shoot an official video introducing us as a dance cast. We get to step outside of NBA dance team norms and I am proud of that. This video is a feed from our opening night halftime using that introduction footage.

I love this commercial becuase it focuses on people that a ot of us take for granted.

Since you're watching all of these commercials and other various videos, I decided to bring some comic relief with this amazing cat video. Enjoy!

My favorite video which is linked below, is about Julia, a deaf girl who adopted a deaf dog named Walter when he was just 10 weeks old. Julia taught Walter sign language and I think this is a very inspiring story between the two.

This is the Pep Talk from Kid President to You. This is my favorite video right now on the internet. It is one of the most entertaining videos I have seen in a while.

This is a 360 degree trailer of Doctor Strange, which is supposed to watch in Google cardboard or a VR headset. I feel this is really a brilliant idea.

I am sure you have seen Gary Johnson's response to smoking weed and heart attacks; but it is still a great video, and hilarious. Check it out.

My favorite online video would have to be "a Pep talk from Kid President". It so cute an inspiring and always get me in a good mood. Its funny but also real. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-gQLqv9f4o

This video might be boring for some people, but for me its so exciting!! All my friends know that I love to shop, and I love finding pieces to wear out that no one has, so I have a video on one of my favorite online boutiques. This chose this video because its the kind of videos I would like to do on my youtube channel eventually. Girls love seeing clothes they are about to purchase on someone other than the online model, so fashion haul's are perfect when someone is about to make a big purchase.

I choose my video because Dave Chappelle is funny and I also like the walking dead and this video has both.

"The Upstairs Neighbors"

This video is a skit about the truth behind "everyone's" upstairs neighbors. What is unique about this video is that it takes an everyday annoyance for a lot of people, and pokes fun at it. The unique thing is, you would never think of this annoyance to be made into a video. I think that humor is a great way to capture viewer's attention. Personally, I'm a witty, sarcastic, person, and this video has a very similar tone to my personality, so that's why I enjoyed it.

Student

Currently, this is my favorite video called " LIFE IS INTERESTING". Honestly, this is a really awesome video. This is what Wing Chun is all about passion, drive and the belief to be who your are. I am making prepare for enter graduate school, I have ideas to give up becasue it is so hard for me. However, this video making me have more energy and confidence. Life is interesting and it is a attituade to look forward. Also, this video filmed by different visual angles. A great video to inspire both of us.

This pretty old video from Derek Sivers about the power of the first follower when starting a movement is one of my favorite videos. It's not because of any fancy HD video quality or great editing, in fact both of those things are actually pretty bad in this video. The reason I like this video is because of the message it is spreading and how easily it is to comprehend. The language he using is on par with what we actually see and it teaches us a very important lesson in a very simplistic way.

I have tons of favorite videos online. I find a lot of joy in laughing over stupid Vines. It's almost impossible to pick my favorite Vine but this is one takes the cake currently. Hopefully you find it just as funny as I do. You can watch it here!

The Mannequin Challenge is hot right now and I was not really in to it all. But this one killed me when I first saw it. So unique and different from the rest. My favorite part is when he is leaning on the sink with the water running.

This is one of my favorite videos of all time on the internet. It is an SNL skit about alien abduction and I think it's one of the funniest movies ever. I love all things comedy and a day is not complete without a good laugh.

I recently saw a video on Facebook and it quickly became my favorite video on the internet. The video is titled, "This Little Girl Made Friends With a Lonely Widower." The video shows a little girl who becomes friends with a depressed old man who just lost his wife. The video is very inspiring showing the bond between a little girl and an old man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCpjqqqtwJE

This video was probably the first YouTube video I had ever seen and it used to be the most talked about thing when it was released. "Charlie Bit My Finger" is classic YouTube footage.

I think this is one of the coolest music videos of all time. It's for a song called "The Writing's On the Wall" by a band called "Ok Go". Ok Go is very well known for the music video of them dancing on the tread mills. What most people don't know is they've owned that space and made cooler and cooler music videos for each new song. To me, this one is the coolest. It's basically them walking around singing to a camerea as it goes through a bunch of optical illusions. It makes you a little dizzy at times but it's so fricken cool!

Student

My favorite video would have to be 'Battle at Kruger' which was posted in May, 2007 and has achieved over 78 million views. It follows a baby buffalo that is attacked by lions, which then has the lions attacked by crocodiles, and then the buffalo come back in a herd to protect the baby, who is finally saved. It is a crazy story.

My question for the week would be, how does surprise factor into a great viral video, and what motivation underlies a viral video? Are you more impressed with surprise, disgust, or happiness? Overall, what makes something viral to you?

Student

One of my favorite videos would have to be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7yqtW4Isec becasue at the time it was such a unique way to transition between shots and it still is a source of inspiration for me.
