Safety first: sexy hologram for your car!

Published by Lev Detrez under Gadgets, ads, comedy, technology

A new Chinese hologram technology for your car is launched. I rather see it as a gadget, but it’s cool; a hologram man or woman will take place next to you to prevent you from falling asleep, getting lost and letting your car get stolen…

The company made a HI-LA-RI-OUS youtube video to demonstrate their latest product. It’s about 5 minutes long, but really worthed! Watch and smile!

Keep in mind: Safety filst, and lelax!
Now what do you think… is this real? or fake?

IMDB launches streaming video

Published by Lev Detrez under brands, technology, video

The Internet Movie Database, better known as IMBD, is finally upgrading to a more modern way of dealing with films and internet, by announcing the free streaming availability of 6,000 films and TV shows.

IMDb is now showing full-length movies and and a great selection of full-length TV episodes directly on our site — for free!

I guess that’s exactly what we would expect from IMDB! Great job!

The only problem is that the content is being provided by CBS, Hulu, Sony Pictures Teleivision, and some 500 indie production houses. This means Europe will not always be allowed to watch the content. A problem that can be solved by installing Hotspot Shield

Hans Teeuwen is back

Published by Lev Detrez under comedy, internet, video

Today, www.hansteeuwen.tv was launched, an online ‘theater’ with video and audio from one of Holland’s finest stand-up comedians Hans Teeuwen. The site is not amazing, the videos on the other hand… crazy!

Hans Teeuwen looks like he’s been using drugs since he was baby, but I like his arrogant, straight to the bone style. I hope it will be updated regulary.

Fun fun fun!

UGC goes NGC

Published by Lev Detrez under UGC, video

In the newspaper today:

An American tourist was on a safari in Kruger Park, South Africa, where he filmed a fight between a bunch of buffalo’s, a group of lions and a crocodile. This cruel fight was an instant hit on YouTube (over 30 million hits) and now National Geographic Channel made a 60 minute documentary about this particular fight called ‘Caught on Safari, Battle at Kruger’.

I saw this video months ago. It was made 4 years(!) ago. Turning this youtube-movie into a documentary is a smart move by NGC. They say it’s “the most amazing footage of wild animals, ever…” (and it’s probably cheap), but I’m curious how NGC will make a 8 minute movie into a 60 minute documentary. They will probably show the images over and over again, perhaps in slow motion, and add some drama to it.

Published by Lev Detrez under news, technology, video, web 2.0

When I say ‘jump’, you say ‘how high’…
When I say ‘video’, you say ‘YouTube’…

Since the launche of YouTube, it has become THE place to be for online video’s.

This week, Microsoft launched Messenger TV, a European innovation that brings together two of the most popular activities online – watching videos and chatting on Windows Live Messenger.

This new service allows users to watch video’s together with your messenger buddies while chatting. Microsoft wants to create a new online video experience. The content will include MTV Shows and videoclips. Messenger TV will launch in 20 countries, excluding the US of A and Belgium (ofcourse).

EDIT: Okay, now Belgium can watch TV via Messenger too! We’re checking it out!

This looks like the new feature Streams of YouTube. For now, it’s only in TestTube.

Lonely Planet TV

Published by Lev Detrez under UGC, video

No more TV for me. I’d rather watch online! Today I was browsing YouTube and found the Lonely Planet Youtube channel. They publish all kind of short movies about different cities in different countries.

I must admit… I almost watched them all. They are really ‘down to earth’ and it looks like homemade holiday videos.

This is a perfect example of GREAT branded content!
Here are some examples:

Flickr Video launches

Published by Lev Detrez under internet, technology, video

Flickr users can now add video clips alongside their photos, a much requested and much anticipated feature that has been promised for over a year.

‘A YouTube clone!’ I can hear you think.
Well, it’s not.

Read all about it on TechCrunch

A great new feature, I guess, but I’m not sure if I was waiting for that.
