FOX Sports' $1 million YouTube challenge to redefine the sports show
четвер, 30 січня 2014 р.
Love sports highlights on YouTube? Love music? How about a bit of both? You're about to see what happens when one of YouTube's beloved musical channels teams up with one of the biggest names in sports, with $1 million on the table.
Last week, FOX Sports Digital VideoFest challenged a dozen popular YouTube channels to create the next big idea in sports video, in 48 hours from the
YouTube Space LA
. FOX Sports’ judges selected
AVByte
for a $1 million development deal, based on their idea of putting your sports to music to create the next big idea in sports video on YouTube. To see how AVByte sets sports news to song, stay tuned to FOX Sports’ YouTube channel at
youtube.com/foxsports
.
If you’ve never heard of AVByte before, you should join the 400,000+ subscribers who’ve learned that these brothers can turn anything into a musical, from
hipster Disney princesses
to
"Grand Theft Auto"
to
"Sherlock."
Want to see what all the channels tried to do with new forms of sports shows? Check out this playlist of all their videos, and look for clips of them in a Ford ad this weekend during this Sunday's Big Game.

Meet ActiveMelody: Your January On The Rise featured partner!
четвер, 30 січня 2014 р.
Congratulations to Brian Sherrill of
ActiveMelody
, our featured
“On The Rise”
partner for this month. You’ll see his channel and videos in the spotlight on the
On The Rise homepage
and then YouTube Spotlight channel today.
Brian is a music professional that has taken his passion for guitar online to help aspiring musicians. His expertise spans from
Rockabilly
to
SRV
and
Delta acoustic blues
. On YouTube, Brian goes one step further, uploading tutorials to share his experience and knowledge with fellow guitarists. It doesn’t matter which video you choose to watch; you’ll be impressed with Brian’s talent and dedication to sharing his knowledge with his viewers.
Here are a few words from Brian:
One afternoon, while sitting on the front porch playing the guitar, it dawned on me that I should share my love for playing blues guitar by creating how-to videos that provide a detailed look at the many nuances that most seasoned guitar players take for granted, and share them on YouTube. I launched my first guitar lesson video on YouTube back in spring of 2009 with a great amount of angst. At present, I release a new, detailed guitar lesson each Friday so come check out the ActiveMelody channel on YouTube if you enjoy learning new things on the guitar. I’m honored to be YouTube’s January On The Rise channel and would like to thank all of my subscribers and those who voted for the opportunity.
If you’ve enjoyed this monthly blog series and are interested in learning more or participating, we encourage you to visit our
On The Rise homepage
. You can check out all of our past featured partners on the
Featured Partners
tab.

Tonight at 9 p.m. ET, President Obama’s fifth State of the Union address will stream live on
the White House’s YouTube channel
, followed by the Republican response by Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers on

If you’d like to join the Hangout, record a 60-second video with your name, location, a bit about yourself and the question you’d like to ask the president. Then post it on YouTube with the hashtag #AskObama2014.

Catch a sneak peek of the 2014 Super Bowl commercials
четвер, 16 січня 2014 р.
The wait is over, football fans: from today you can get a sneak peek of some of this year’s Big Game ads right here on YouTube. For the first time ever, the
YouTube Ad Blitz pregame gallery
will feature teaser commercials to watch all in one place.
This year’s
Ad Blitz channel
will feature:
Teasers
: Get ahead of the game--YouTube is hosting your one-stop shop to view teaser commercials. Last year some of the most iconic ads were released before the game even began--remember the
cat hugging lady
,
purple genie chihuahua
and
exploding soda bottles
?
Highlights
: Kick back before kickoff with FOX Sports playoff analysis for teams on the road to the championship.
Custom content
: Tune in to see custom content from some of your favorite YouTube stars.
Postgame voting
: Challenge your friends to vote for their favorite commercials. Ad Blitz puts the commercials in your hands postgame, letting you view and vote on your favorite ads from your laptop, smartphone or tablet.
It's clear how much you love watching and sharing these commercials on YouTube. In 2013, you watched Big Game ads more than 265M times for over 3.2M hours--that’s the equivalent of watching 800,000 Big Game broadcasts!
So let the 2014 ads game begin!

Shira Lazar

If you’re at the festival, keep an eye out for videos from some of our most talented creators, as we showcase a selection of shorts already entertaining audiences on YouTube prior to the official short film screenings. And, if you need a break from the cold, warm up at “
YouTube on Main Street
,” THE place to convene for must-see panels, happy hours, screenings and even a daily yoga class.
On YouTube, there are no limits to creative freedom. You can experiment and push the boundaries of innovation and experiment with distribution.

So, if you are inspired by this year’s short films and want to learn more about creating great content, check out the
