Wburg.TV :: Vol. 1, No. 3.1

Play it

Vol. 1, No. 3.1 - What a ride!

It's amazing to be able to promote the videoblogging motion picture folks I've come to know and respect from around the planet, but more amazing as local creators begin to submit their materials for inclusion in the Wburg Brooklyn video magazine that Wburg.TV becomes.

Took the lessons 11211 Magazine taught to heart, most particularly its editorial policy and total commitment to the art and commerce of 11211.

My goal with Wburg.tv Vol. 1, Nos. 1 and 2 was to inspire folks to ask, "WTF?"

Done.

It's easy to vlogvertise with us. Really.

Shoot something you love with your cell phone - a video or still. Send us a scan of a drawing you made. Send us a link to some music you recorded. Record us a song to your phone. We're not interested in perfection, but passion. Oh, passion and 11211, the zip code for Williamsburg, Brooklyn, County of Kings, USA.

Email: WburgTV@gmail.com

If you need to learn how to get your stuff to us from your phone or computer, we'll teach you how. It's not difficult in the least. A first step in learning is found at FreeVlog.org. Check it out.

Thanks to Jen - for helping prepare for the launch party; and to Quirk - for coming.

Proud and happy to present our first vlogvertising effort for Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

The best vlogvertising comes from love and I most certainly fell in love with Michael and his best pal, Beverly, while making this vlogvert.

Falling in love is the future of advertising.

Made with love by Wburg.tv and The Faux Press.

Adweek :: Motorola Sponsors Williamsburg's "The Burg"

Motorola to Sponsor Web Video Series
May 08, 2007

By
Brian Morrissey

SEATTLE Following in the steps of Lonelygirl15, another Web video serial is turning to product placement as an ad model.

Motorola has signed to sponsor "The Burg," a Web comedy series of nine four-minute episodes that explore the hipster haven of Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Motorola products will be featured in the programming, which will not include pre-roll spots.

The Burg goes bigtime w/Motorola product placement sponsorship.

Congrats!

Testing the Vimeo Thumbnail Player / Generator

Video on the web. So many video distrubution outlets, so little time.

We're hosting our vlogvertising videos at Vimeo, too.

Wburg.TV @ Veoh

Wburg.TV Online Videos by Veoh.com

I really like the look and quality of Veoh's transcoded flash and player.

Moreover, Veoh will automatically cross-post to all the major social networking sites that support video. Nicer still, is that Veoh is 'fed' from our Blip.tv uploads, so once uploaded at Blip, the videos show up at Veoh, and on to YouTube and MySpace, and Google Video.

My Veoh Show

Holy Cannoli :: Buyer Beware :: Real Estate Developers in the News

So much development, so little time. "The 'Enron' of real estate development deals," right here in Brooklyn - and in Williamsburg.

In a word, appalling.

Re-vlog :: With Love, From Williamsburg, Brooklyn

I totally get how folks are inspired to make love letters to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, County of Kings, USA, 11211.

Do it all the time, m'self.

I really like how this v-love letter is edited. Love its energy, and the music's perfect.

Check it out.

More vlogvertising.

Hand made.

Smells like fresh-baked cookies.

Wired editor Chris Anderson speaks about tech trends and how to compete with 'free'.

If you think tech trends have nothing to do with your business, think again.

He gives a simple formula for predicting when movement is called for.

Wburg.TV :: Vol. 1, No. 2

Click To Play

Could only devote two days to editing Vol. 1, No. 2. I say this not by way of apology, but rather as acknowledgement of how its relative simplicity is embraced. Intention as by-product of exegency.

David Howell's been given a lot of space here; couldn't bear to cut a single frame of his performance. David's the real deal.

Weagel-as-Human-Dog (as always) makes me laugh from an unexpected place as his Professor plays God to Howell's fear and frustration.

We're delighted to welcome 11211 Office, Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate, Champion Wireless, Baci & Abbracci Restaurant / Pizza, and Optical Warehouse as advertisers.

Wrapped principal photography on our first in-house vlogvertising piece for Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate this Sunday past, and look forward to cutting it this week.

Wburg Concierge Focus :: Turn Here Films

TurnHere is geocentric, and uses local film makers to feature local stuff of interest to the traveler and local alike.

I've been an email subscriber to their films for a while now and they turn out about one a day from all over the world, including Williamsburg and Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

This is just one of the web sites we plan to use to feature Concierge video content.
