Video of the Week
A great video of Steve Jobs for this Friday’s Find.
Quick Question… What’s more important Content or the Process?
From the title I expected a touching story of a man finding a video of himself from childhood.
Instead we get this funny parody of that same situation.
I don’t want to give too much away, so just watch it.
What I love about this video
The reason why this video was chosen for the Friday Find of the Week is its perfect mix of story and comedy. The interaction between the past and present Jeremiahs is both hilarious and touching.
As someone who enjoys creating stories with comedy, it is hard to master that balance of jokes for joke sake and a joke that furthers the viewer/readers understanding of the character or plot.
In 3.5 minute movie we make a personal connection to the protagonist (present Jeremiah), we get a very small view of his life story, and it ends in a way that gives a feeling of closure. You can’t ask more from a short film/video.
Let me know what you think of my interpretation in comment section below? Feel free to include what you liked or didn’t like about the video.

This week’s Friday Find is a Trailer for the Graphic Novel Silence & Co.
If you have followed the progress of my Comic Book (which will eventually be bond as a graphic novel), you will remember that I created a motion comic for my Kickstarter campaign (view here).
I think this will be a new trend for creators/publishers of comic books and graphic novels. Meaning if you plan on releasing a comic or want to raise money through Kickstarter you should be making a motion comic of some sort as a great way to promote your project.
The reason why it is such a great marketing tool is because …
- It is a fast way for people to judge the quality of the art & writing
- It shows professionalism and dedication (which people like)
- Can allow early feedback if done before printing
- Allows you to be in the search engines of all the video sites you submit to.
Here is the video:
What I don’t like about this Motion Comic
Today I have been working on organizing both my office and my emails because they both are a huge mess. I’m a little worried with only 12 hours left in the day neither will get finished. Since I am watching Everett (my 5 month old) this morning while Mama Love is getting some sleep. I am moving at a crawling pace and already exhausted.
I did, however, find time to locate another great Friday Find which is an 8 minute YouTube video you are going to enjoy.
The Video: The Rise of WebComics
The Rise of Webcomics is a quick look at webcomics from the perspective of the creators. It doesn’t go to deep into how-to or history, but I found the video getting me excited to be part of this ever changing medium.
Each of the creators in the video have a different emphasis they enjoy about their projects.
Some of those are:
An amazing documentary on Wonder Women and Feminism in American History as it was reflected in Comic Books, Television, and Film.
The main focus of the video is to cover the history, the story, and backdrop surrounding Wonder Woman.
In 1 hour, this documentary covers an amazing amount of detail in the Wonder Woman’s story. It
Today’s Friday Find is actually a Promotional strategy for a car. Specifically, the Audi.
According to a Press Release I received “Audi Teams Up with Marvel to Launch Iron Man Crowd-Sour
From the website, it looks like they will be having a group choose your own adventure comic. People vote what Iron Man should do, and then they write it into the next part of the webcomic.
At the end (looks like there will be 2 choices made by votes) their will be a contest involving an
