‘Deer’y Me – Fenton the Deer Chasing Dog’s Owner Unmasked

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011

For those of you who haven’t seen or heard about this video then fear not, we shall reveal all! It was recorded by 13 year old Jake Goodyear from Holloway in North London who was in Richmond Park with his dad at the time of the incident.

The man in the video has now been revealed. Father of two Max Findley was walking his black Labrador dog Fenton in the park when he suddenly bolted and ran after a herd of deer that were grazing in the park.

Young Jake was in the park with his dad Ali, last month when the incident happened and they recorded the whole thing and decided to put the video up on YouTube and within a couple of days the video was powering its way through the views and getting a lot of media attention.

In the video you see Mr. Findley’s dog chasing after the deer and the dog is closely followed by Mr. Findley himself alternately shouting “Fenton!” and “Oh, Jesus Christ!”. Then, despite Mr. Fenton’s furious attempts to try and stop his dog, the herd of frightened deer stampede across a busy road forcing cars to stop which leads to Mr. Findley swearing.

Mr. Findley was questioned about Fenton’s actions and said: “I don’t really want to add anything to the zillions of words already out there. I’d rather just leave the story where it is and move on.”

There are many videos on YouTube that are like this one, some have been produced by a video production company and don’t really do too well when it comes to turning viral. There are some good companies out there, like videotile.co.uk who can do both you and your company the world of good when it comes to producing a video. Whether that be to try and promote a product or service or whether that’s just to advertise your company.

A Polite Waving Bear – Video Goes Viral

Friday, December 16th, 2011

There are many animals out there that you would have down as polite, nice creatures that wouldn’t try and bite your hand off if you were to say, wave at them. Well we’d safely assume that a bear wouldn’t be in that list.

Well at the Olympic Game Farm in Sequim, Washington is a bear. It’s a part of the somewhat quiet reserve for orphaned or retired animals that starred in Disney’s nature films in the 1960’s. One of the Kodiak bears that they have there is a part of a group of Kodiaks that some may say are not normal Kodiak bears.

Having starred in a number of Disney films, some of these bears are a lot tamer than many others of the same breed. Well one of these tame bears was sat at the fence one day when a woman drove past in her car and waved at the huge beast, she was amazed to see it wave back at her.

The video was first uploaded to YouTube back in 2010 but it has recently become a viral hit having racked up over 300,000 views in the last few days.

There are a number of videos out there that have gone viral after a number of months or even years, and that’s just the way it goes sometimes. However, if you get in touch with a company and ask about their video production services you never know, you could be one of the lucky ones who’s video goes viral within a couple of days!

If you get in touch with a company such as videotile.co.uk then you may be able to produce a video that is of a substantial quality to pull in plenty of views and hopefully you will see the benefits of it!

Two Toddlers Become Internet Sensations

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

Two young toddlers have quickly gone from a troublesome twosome to internet stars overnight! Well, more like 5 days. But we’re not here to bicker about that. The video shows how the two youngsters aged 1 and 3 covered their home in an ‘avalanche’ of flour.

The video, recorded by their mother has racked up well over 700,000 views in 5 days. You may argue however that a lot of these are not genuine views that people have gone on to watch this video. No, an awful lot of them are probably when people have gone on YouTube to watch the video to see how staged it is!

There are an awful lot of people commenting on the video saying how obviously staged it is. There are apparently a number of things in the video which indicate that two youngsters, aged 1 and 3 could not have done. For example there’s flour on a picture frame and on the mantelpiece which are far too high up for youngsters of their height to reach.

Viewers are speculating that the woman who uploaded the video is trying to cash in on what YouTube announced last week that they are paying out thousands and thousands of pounds to YouTube users who upload videos that create a frenzy on the web! Basically they’re paying out some of the money that they make from advertising in these videos.

If however you are a business owner and you want to make a promotional video for one of your products, or you want to make a video that will help to push the release of one of your new products then you should definitely look at getting in touch with a company like Video Tile who can help you make the perfect video!

There are of course many pros and cons to having a video made, but the pros heavily outweigh the cons. The only major con is that you have to pay for it without having any guarantee of what you will get from it. The pros are pretty obvious, increase in sales or business coming into the company and hopefully enough that you will cover the costs of having the video made!

Old Spice is back again with ‘MANta Claus’

Monday, December 5th, 2011

Old Spice has made a dramatic Christmas return, with THE Old Spice guy Isaiah Mustafa. He was controversially replaced earlier in the year when they decided to bring in a new ’hunk’, Fabio.

There were many Old Spice fans that were outraged by the fact that the original guy had been replaces, but fear not he’s back. In this Christmas special he’s returned as MANta Claus.

He is acting as the modern day Santa Claus and in the clip he promises to deliver gifts to each and every person in the world on YouTube. Yes that’s right, all 7 billion people in the world. When the videos end there’s a picture of a map showing which part of the world has just received their gift from MANta Claus and it comes with the ever so catchy strap line: “MANta Claus. 1 man, 7 billion gifts”

So far he has done quite a remarkable job and has already visited the likes of Switzerland, Alaska, Sweden and Norway and delivered them their presents.

If you fancy making a video and you think it has the potential to be as big as the Old  Spice videos then you should definitely look at getting in touch with a company like Video Tile who have the experience and the know how to make a video for you that could very well do as well as the Old Spice videos. You may want to have a web presenter like Isaiah Mustafa in the Old Spice videos. They can help draw in your audience, especially if they’re dressed in a towel!
