Hi! I'm Lisa. I make videos about TV and movies. This is my tumblelog about the work I do and the news, trends and technologies that touch it, with the occasional totally unrelated bits thrown in. You'll find me at/on/around gmail, vimeo, and twitter.

SKINS on BBC America is my new obsession — it’s like GOSSIP GIRL on crystal meth.

My friend Mariclare made this amazing promo for Season 3, which starts this week.  Can’t stop listening to the track she used - “Dominos” by The Big Pink.

I know someone in this audience gave a good review to ‘Real Housewives of New Jersey,’ and for that I will hold you personally accountable.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker
at the Television Critics Association BRICK CITY panel yesterday.

Launching today on sundancechannel.com, a futuristic science fiction thriller called THE CAPTIVE starring MAD MEN’s Michael Gladis. This all-new original web series won the 2008 New York Television Festival Award for Best Web Series Pilot.

This promo was a lot of fun to do, and even more fun to mix.  Hope you like it.

Jon’s show is always a good time.  This makes it even better.  It’s like he built an entire show around you.

Anyone who might happen to be bored around the NYC area tomorrow night is encouraged — and by encouraged, I mean “strongly discouraged” — to come by Jon Friedman’s “The Rejection Show,” where I will be “performing.” The theme of the evening is “I Lost on a Game Show,” so, for hopefully the last time, I’ll be dusting off the old “Win Ben Stein’s Money” material.

Ohmigod you guys! This is EXACTLY what it’s going to be like tomorrow when we shoot the key art imagery for the Season 1 advertising campaign of MAN SHOPS GLOBE.

Except it will be green screen…

On a small sound stage…

In New York…

Without a water tank…

Or Jon Hamm.

But it will be cool nonetheless.

I didn’t MAD MEN myself yesterday.

No one will appreciate this more than chrismohney.

One guy created a venue for his penis, with all sorts of ‘tips.’
My favorite of all the anti-Foursquare comments on this Mashable post.

Ad Age:

Time Warner’s CNN and Walt Disney’s ESPN are grappling with the idea that a TV ad should not be judged solely by the number of people it reaches, but also by how many of the people who see it are spurred to share its message with others.

It’s all well and good for a TV network to boast about the ability to lure a sizable crowd, but that’s so old school. Today, marketers want to know what subset of that audience talked about their ad with other people, and if that conversation was a positive or negative one.

…and…

CNN found… that people who make use of multiple CNN venues — i.e. TV and web — are four times more likely to speak about [their advertiser] Lexus than the total population.

Thought not mentioned in the article, social media like Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter could play a big part in a model like this.
