Leaked! How to make a viral video

Yesterday I heard from another contestant in Doritos’ Viralocity video contest and he asked me to check out his video.  That of course is code for “please consider posting this on your blog!” Well, the video turned out to be great so I will indeed post it.  Not only is it funny, it’s an awesome tutorial for video contest filmmakers who need to increase their view counts in view-based contests!

In his e-mail, the guy said that Doritos initially rejected his video because it contained unauthorized music.  But he didn’t use any music, just chip bag sounds.  So he missed out on a week of exposure.  There are still 5 days left in the contest so if you want to help this guy in his quest for Viralocity, visit his page on the Doritos’ site and facebook and tweet him and link him and stuff:  http://bit.ly/bjjyT0

I also got an update from the guy who made the for-charity, Viralocity video. (check my last post for the full story)  He said his entry has started to creep up the rankings so if you want to support a good cause, go spread this video:  http://bit.ly/djGMqG
