I think we all have inhaled helium to hear our funny voice but this video takes it to the next level..

A friend of my FOUND this on his video camera. Apparently his son had “borrowed” the camera to make his own helium video. He takes some scissors, cuts open the mylar balloon, inhales the entire ballon then hits the floor with scissors in hand..

Enjoy!

Sports Video Group: X Games Live: NewTek Doubles Up on TriCasters for Video Board, Streaming Productions

Philip — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 15:31:09 +0000

Brandon Graham hosts Inside X, a live webcast from X Games 17.

On the second day of the ESPN X Games, Sports Video Group dropped by to see the TriCaster compound. Check out this behind the scenes article!

NewTek’s TriCaster has a two-fold presence at Summer X Games this year, producing video board shows for the outdoor venues at L.A. Live, as well as ESPN’s live companion webcast. However, the most notable difference this year is not in the quantity of video being produced with the TriCaster, but rather the HD quality.

“This is our third X Games, but it’s the first year that it’s been fully HD,” says NewTek SVP of Strategic Development Philip Nelson. “It’s a fully HD pipeline and workflow, which is huge. If you look at the quality on the screens here it’s not even a comparison [to the previous SD].”

When “Debbie” uploaded her eHarmony video, I don’t think she could have ever dreamed of what an overnight sensation it would be. When the guys at Songify got ahold of it, magic was created.. Enjoy. “Can’t Hug Every Cat” the song.

For some reference, here is the original eHarmony video. It’s true.. She REALLY does love cats! Well.. Maybe not really true as it seems that Debbie is actually Cara and the YouTube page links to her line of “I Love Cats” T-Shirts.. No matter what.. It’s all AWESOME!
