Viral Videos

A viral video. I'm sure that you all know what a viral video is. Recently, I've been finding more and more and more of them. This happens especially when I'm searching through youtube videos for a music artist's song I want to see. And then, I find a video that I think is the real music video and it's this crazy parody of the song. It's hilarious in a lot of ways. Some are better than others. I know you know what I'm saying.
I think making these videos is a really good way to just laugh but to also know your editing skills when making videos. You learn basic stuff about the various editing softwares out there. Most computers have them already built in. Some are easier to use than others. I hate to say it but I'm partial to Mac, just because I used to be a journalist and I work with a lot of photos and art and a Mac is made for that type of work.
Considering the actual taping and making... what you use is up to you. Think of quality when viewing. I have to say... I hate pictures that are like a 3 megapixel photo. And yeah, I know your phones have those cameras on them. And, I know that some of them do the recording as well. If you are going to put the work into it, really make it so someone can see it.
A'ight.
Maybe you already know about this site but I found it recently:

Here's a viral video from a very, very old Beastie Boys song that I found. It's on the Paul's Boutique album and it's called the "Sound of Science"
They were pretty creative with this.
