These are some interesting ways of using sequential imagery and LF with a minimal cost.

Here is a video I found that was kind of stupid but it was made pretty well. Very low budget, we've all seen things like this before but I thought the execution of some of the scenes in this video were really well done.

Here is something that I was really into when I was playing Halo. It's pretty funny, but I think more importantly is what these guys are doing. They are using the game to create a story of their own. All they need is the game, some friends, and their voices. It's pretty inventive.

You can check out more of the videos on the site, everything rooster teeth is gaming. They have things other than Halo, like fear and stuff check it out. This is the first season, there are many more where this came from. If you like it, keep watching!

Take something boring.

I came upon these youtube videos and I thought they were great. An awesome way to turn something completely mundane into something else completely. These are basically voice over auditions for Miller Lite. They've replaced the actors with animals. Simple. I love it. How can we use this to our advantage. We should look into everyday human insights and find ways to make them outrageous. Every great idea starts with an insight. 

There are a few different animals, the bear is my personal favorite. I'll send the link to him. don't forget to check out the other ones. 

Also, this blog is supposed to be for "Sequential Imagery, and Long Format Media" but, seeing as how half of the class is in advertising and the other half has no idea what we do I thought it would be beneficial for me to post some TV spots and other things that have to do with advertising. 

Some of these you've seen, some you haven't. Some are viral spots that were never TV spots. Some are interesting because they are self aware. They know they are advertising to an audience and they make it known. ENJOY!

Take a look at these videos:
