There’s been so many great videos this weekend – hats off to the DIY curatorial team for really putting together a great show!  It’s been great fun to see the videos usually seen in tiny little windows on the big screen.  A few videos particularly stood out to me, and not too surprisingly, many of them made by young vidders.

Chongalicious:  a great spoof on the song “Fergalicious”

Slip of the Toungue:  A girl at a bus stop responds to the question ‘what is your ethnic makeup?’

Black Doll White Doll – a strong and sad discussion of race by talented young girls.  Pre-schoolers still choose the white doll.

In My Language – an incredibly original, eloquent and powerful vlog by an autistic woman.  Watch it.

Ballad of Black Mesa  -  this piece that will blow away most of the videos on MTV.  The program describes it as “Half-Life 2 meets iPod commercial meets stomp.”

Bush vs. Zombies - George Bush addresses the zombie threat.

Mad as Hell - walking manifesto about work, life, and vlogging

Bomb, Bomb, Bomb.  Bomb, bomb Iran - scary. funny. scary.  watch this if you’re even thinking about voting for John McCain.

George Bush don’t like Black People - very cool remix about Katrina

The summit will be putting many of the videos screened up on their site soon.   Be sure to check them out!
