You would think the world was coming to an end with our endless hours of cable news channel stories on the swine flu. Board up your houses and lock your doors. This pandemic might effect you and your family! How are we not all cowering in fear? Watch these two Public Service Announcements from the 1976 swine flu and you just might be. (if you’re not laughing at the terrible stereotypes : )

Don’t you just love these new public social experiments? Have these always gone on through time, and now we’re just finding out about them more because they’re being filmed and put online somewhere? There are a bunch of different ways to do them, but it comes down to some sort of planned event that involves many people, but it seems like it is random and just comes together to outsiders, who are in fact the audience. My friend Jo gave me this one, and it’s pretty funny, and like most of these at the very end when the event stops everything is back to normal… This is what happened at a Belgian Train station one day.

Some of the best videos are done on low budgets. Don’t get me wrong there are MANY crappy low budget videos out there, but there are some that are inventive, fun, have a good idea and are entertaining. These rise to the top. Maybe the low-budgetness forces them to be creative, to get some footage people would watch to hear your bands song. Here’s an idea: How about a bunch of kids, boys in Karate outfits, girls as ballerinas and they have an all out war on the beach using Super-soakers and water balloons? I might just pay to see that… Here is a great indie band (The Pernice Brothers), with a great song (The Weakest Shade of Blue) and a fun little video to go with it, that didn’t cost much to make.

I think all those American car companies really need, is some good focus groups like this one.
