If you want to make great videos, you have to watch great videos. Here are this week’s offers for your consideration.

1) The Message

What can you do with a Sharpie, your hand, a camera and your community?

2) Daft Hands

Speaking of Sharpies…

3) A 6th Grader’s Version of Paparazzi

You probably saw this little viral sensation last week. Got talent around the office? Show it off (but maybe hold off on the Jason Bieber haircut).

4)Phurnace Burns Down The House

Why not allow your CEO to set a few things on fire in the backyard?

5)Nike: To Catch A Predator

Take a look at the shows and commercials that surround you. What are you taking for granted? In this clip, Alec Brownstein pokes fun at “To Catch a Predator” and places the alleged perp in a pair of Nikes.
