My co-worker Eddie sent me a YouTube clip today since he knows I’m a sucker for viral videos. This was me the whole time through the video :0 Followed by a Whaaaa??????
A kid flashes a piece of paper in front of the camera that says “Guitar Hero World Tour. Prisoner of Society. The Living End. 1999.” Flips the paper around and it says “Difficulty Hard” Already in my head I’m thinking oh this better not be an epic fail. The kid jumps on his bike lights up his handle bars and begins following the colored dots on the floor. I continue with :0 followed by repeated “WTFs!?!?” I especially was in awe when I caught the fountain, park, and bridge parts. I had recognized it was Griffith Park in Los Feliz from playing there when I was kid. I had to back track a couple of times since the footage was dark and tried to make sure.
Kudos to the people who made this video because this was not some professionally produced video since the cuts are a little bit noticeable. If it is professionally done and this is backed by Activision, then you’ve hit the nail on the head by doing a viral video right.

NIECEE’s TAKE AWAY:
- That’s What I Call Creative! A lot of thought and creativity was put into producing this video. To be able to think out the thought process and map out the direction is really difficult. A fellow Twitterer @DaveConrey gave feedback on the video saying “That was pretty insane. And they say Gen-Y are a bunch of slackers.” Good point!
