Probably one of the best online videos I've seen.</p> <p>Not sure this one would make the top ten list, but Obama's environmental team released <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdA1iBf4aRw">this unsettling and fascinating ad</a> for "Green Gatherings" that mostly flew under the radar but deserves honorable mention.</p> <p>But one of the best campaign videos of the cycle has to be the Obama campaign's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUV69LZbCNQ">commemoration</a> of the fifth anniversary of his antiwar speech by retelling it in the voices of his supporters.</p> <p>Those three demonstrate some of the potential of online video to do things a little differently. </p> <p>I thought it was interesting though that TechPresident highlighted a lot of the more highly produced web videos --- I can't blame you, these videos certainly pack more punch individually --- though one could also compile a lot of the kind of campaign YouTube videos that James Kotecki would love: direct appeals to the audience, head and shoulder shots, shaky camera, etc.</p> Sun, 30 Dec 2007 02:06:38 -0500 Peter Erickson comment 1610 at http://www.techpresident.com
