Many commercial sites are
learning to leverage the power of the Internet and
"viral" videos to promote their messages and SELL product.
Some are a bit heavy handed and obvious. Check out these
four short and funny films from Bic - two are really good.
Stubble Trouble and The Lab made our insides

This is a great example of how to use

Do you believe in Reality TV? Do you think that any of what you are seeing is real? In that case, you need to watch this funny and subtly educational video about the secrets of Reality TV and editing. Its quite good - especially if you appreciate the British humor thing. Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe - Reality TV Editing
Pirelli Tires - Yes it is just a long commercial but it features great editing, an extremely fast and sexy Lamborghini sports car, gratuitous violence and a beautiful blond - Uma Thurman.

"Dead Wrong" is the funny story of how a happy, but mistake-prone intern for Death makes a house call. Written, Edited and Directed by Craig Kuehne. Hosted at the YouAreTV site. There are not a lot of films here yet but we really like their interface and the video player. Extremely cool
"Drawn by
Pain" is a great example of unique and very
impressive film making combined with a strong
marketing and web sense concept. The promo is
brilliant and mixes live action and animation.
If you are thinking of using the web to promote your
video making expertise, you got to visit
"Drawn By
Pain"
'Revver'" is Rob Pongi's humorous promo for his favorite internet video sharing company known as "Revver": http://www.revver.com which is located right on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, CA. "Never Say 'Never' Always Say 'Revver'" was filmed on location in Tokyo, which, believe it or not, according to Rob, actually resembles L.A. in many ways! So, check it out!
We don't know how good this is but it is awfully goofy.
This is brilliant!
Every 30 Seconds....Directed by Jeremy Corray. By
the time you finish reading this film synopsis, a drunk
driver will cause a traffic accident. Every 30 seconds
in America, a man is hit by a drunk driver. However,
this little factoid isn't as terrifying as it might
sound, since drunk drivers apparently hit the same
guy every 30 seconds. This is that man's story.
Don't miss the Hitchcock homage...
