High Praise, Indeed

My library's YouTube channel just received high praise, indeed, from a national blog.

Now Scowl-Face will be impossible to live with.  Here's what his head looks like (with ego inflated):

Actor Lance Fuller (1928-2001) in the movie This Island Earth (1955),

lampooned by Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (1996)

Anybody out there have a smartphone app that makes people's heads look bigger?  I've got a photo of Scowl-Face upon which to experiment.  Just saying.

We need to release some of that ego pressure from Scowl-Face's noggin.  This should do the trick.

Congratulations, MPL, on your video success.  Now, let's get serious.  Somebody needs lunch.  Hop to it, minions.  Those cans of tuna-in-oil don't open themselves.

A Cauli Le Chat Production

Viewers of my library's YouTube Channel  know all about Cauli Le Chat videos.

Yep.  Pretty Much.

My paws are all over those videos my minions make for the library.  Did you know our YouTube videos are approaching a million views?  There's a really nice newspaper article about it, and everything.

The channel has many playlists for different types of videos (book trailers, program/promo trailers, historical videos, music videos, live action, sing-alongs, readalouds, puppet shows, and much more).  Browse our playlists to watch the videos, or just trawl through our video list to pick-and-choose from among our (currently) 730 uploads.

The newspaper article requires a few corrections, however:

• I am a female feline.  Who could not know that?
• Scowl-Face's first name is Bill, not Bob (that's his middle name).
• Broadway Gal's first name is Suzanne, not Susan.
• Our YouTube channel currently averages between 21,000 and 24,000 views per month, not week.
• Scowl-Face is baffled by everything.

I like producing these videos.  I can lounge around inside where it's warm (or cool), depending upon the time of year.  Plus, my supper bowl is always nearby.  Creativity makes moi mighty hungry.

We hope you enjoy our videos.  Remember, they're brought to you by moi.  My minions helped.  A little.

P.S.  By the way, my production clip at the top was adapted from a share-alike video called Animal Motion Animation, by Megan Goodson (2010).

Five years ago today, my Library launched our YouTube channel.

MPL YouTube Channel

Five years later, our videos have been viewed over half a million times.  What's our current viewership total?  Glad you asked.

We probably wouldn't have made any of these videos had it not been for Broadway Gal, who, a few days before we set-up our YouTube channel, asked Scowl-Face to create a book trailer (our first one, above) to go along with one of her book trailers she was showing during a guest lecture at (as it used to be called) the Indiana University School of Library & Information Science in Indianapolis.  Let's reprise our tribute video to Broadway Gal, who was formerly our youth services director (2007-2012).

Our Tribute to Miss Suzanne, by MPL (Oct. 5, 2012)

Broadway Gal, who is now the Professional Development Office (PDO) Supervisor at the Indiana State Library, is returning (with her parrot pal, Sammy the Toucan) to videos at ISL. Here's an exclusive interview.  To see some of Sammy & Broadway Gal's videos when they worked at MPL, here's their playlist.

Thanks to all our video viewers over the past half-decade.  We hope you've enjoyed them.
