My boys love watching YouTube videos. Mainly it's some sort of Lego movie that catches their eye, or a superhero one, or even a combination of them both. They actually love watching my movies because they love to see what their characters are up to. I love doing it because they are fun to make. It does get disappointing at times when you see that so few are actually watching the videos, especially when you look at some of the videos that get a billion hits. I mean do we really need to see a cat fall off of a TV or some kid bite his older brothers finger? Honestly it's kind of annoying to see what people think is entertainment. Then along comes the latest craze, so I thought, if you can't beat them... join them.
A frog on a bench? What will they think of next, a squirrel on water skis?
Love the humor in this one. I think you nailed it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame these don't get more views. Your videographer skills really shine - excellent lighting, great pace, and the way you highlight the main character while slighly blurring the background is super cool.
On a different level, I can totally relate to your frustration. When I was early in my career as a musician I would write intricate and clever compositions that would impress any seasoned player but no one cared to hear them more than once. The songs that made the radio were the very simple songs that only took me about 5 minutes to write. Even worse, the mainstream radio was filled with sugar pop songs, crappy one-hit-wonders, and boy-band songs.
ReplyDeleteThat has got to be worth at least 1,000,000 views. At least.
ReplyDeleteI don't make them to get a bazillion views, but to have way less than a frog that just sits there is annoying
ReplyDeleteMaybe I will have one where Lego Carter bites Lego Tylers finger. That would probably get 100,000,000
ReplyDeleteI love it. I love them all. Im sorry that more people dont see them. Honestly. They are clever and cute and fun and appealing. I am 100% a fan and I hate frogs. Im scared to death of them, much rather watch your vid's
ReplyDeleteThanks buddy! Maybe we need more Repo Man movies... That was hugely popular.
ReplyDeleteThis. Is. Hysterical.
ReplyDeleteI for one look forward to every Lego video. We need to somehow get this to pop up next to the real frog video. It's way funnier.
Hopefully the title will drive people... there has to be at least a few people searching for "Frog on a Bench" videos. If I played my SEO cards right, this should be right up there
ReplyDeleteThat being said there are also 100's of Frog on a Bench parodies already on YouTube
ReplyDeleteOMG I am laughing so hard --- your Lego movies are just the best. I might have developed a bit of an obsession with your films! :)
