Nuthin' But 'Net
This one's gonna make the rounds.
Kelby and McNally, apparently having way too much free time on their hands, went and made a spoof of the classic Bird-Jordan McDonald's commercial.
As for CLS believe-ability? They lost me at the Pepsi machine.
But then, it is McNally, whose flashes work amazingly well -- unless he is trying to demo them for more than 50 people. Heh.
And if you are under 30 and have not seen the original classic commercial, hit the jump (so to speak).

These guys were amazing. Shame about Jordan's whine-athon Hall of Fame speech…

Great video! And yeah, they definitely had some time on their hands...
That was awesome! Although they could have bought a nicer burger to showcase at the end...
I wonder if the football player has the faintest about was going on...
The video was cute, but I share your skepticism about wireless CLS actually working in most of those scenarios!
(I also wonder if they haven't already heard from McDonaldLand's lawyers about their use of the Golden Arches trademark...)
Love it love it love it ... Just goes to prove that you can still have a sense of humour and use off camera flash in one life time :-)
There is no such thing as bad publicity. Kelby knows how to market himself and we're eating it all up.
It was great to see it in person!!
That is awesome but check the other video by Scott on Dave Cross blog: http://tiny.cc/O7Hmi
As I said on Dave, Joes' blog, hilarious and making my morning.
Cheers,

laughed my ass off. and I'm 26 and definitely remember the original! so enough of the Agism Mr.Hobby.
I think people under 20 probably wouldn't remember it. young bastards have no knowledge of the past!
Of course, up here in Canada McDonalds put the Gretzky vs Sundin hockey version into rotation instead of basketball.
I mean, it's not like basketball was invented by a Canadian or anything.....
Fun video! Thanks for sharing!
Love the video. Scott has a ton of enthusiasm and humor. For those in the Detriot Metro area, he's do a Kelby Training day on Lightroom on 10/16/2009. http://bit.ly/snd9Y
Photoshop World had a couple other funny videos too this year. It sounds like a fun event that I hope to attend some day.
wtf is with the crazy black visor thing at about 29 seconds in???
ROFLMAO
im only 21 and i remember the hockey one. But WTF is with the black visor thing at about 26sec in the video?
Both appear to be using the IR SU-800, which appears to be on Mr. McNally camera, excellent range and reflectivity.
Quite do able, with pinch of salt outdoors. Mr McNally travels with a trick quarter so Kelby was suckered.

RE: the arches copyright usage... I think they should be ok since there is provision for usage under "parody". Plus, they aren't obviously trying to deceive the customer regarding the McD's Brand.
A classic Kelby and McNally showdown.
Instant fav!!
Now I like to see what Mr. Hobby has stored for us.
Hey, I was thinking of doing the same thing but using Canon.
First one who got it to work gets the burger :-)
And yes I own Canon strobes :-(
Classic!
Great video!
Hahahaha,
I'm Italian and never saw that commercial before, but LOL :) :D
Hi David,
After you last post on shooting for a good cause I decided to get my camera out and help a local artist. In case you haven't heard of it, there's a project going on in London at the moment where one person takes to the fourth plinth in Trafalgar square for one hour and it's permanently occupied like this for 100 days.
Well my friend Bob Race decided to go up and since he's a potter he got everybody on the ground to make little morphs of themselves, then collected them by fishing rod before building a sculpture on the plinth. I took the photos including the model shot of the plinth which is now on Ebay for friends of Fullbourne, a charity dealing with early onset dementia.
You can find my photos with a write up of the studio piece here:

and the video of Bob's hour here:

Hoping we can get some more bids before the end for this really great work of art!
Cheers,
Alex
HILARIOUS!!
Can anyone tell me the type of softbox being used for that speedlight? Thanks.
With the whole pixel count thing just about at its limit cameras are going to have new features to compete. Just look at the Canon 7d they finally added what Nikon has had for years popup ettl flash control plus a host of other cool new stuff. So this probably isn't that far fetched especially for Nikon shooters since Nikon seems to dominate a little on the flash side.
That's what we need. More humor! Great fun.
ROFL, to me the parody far outranks the original! Instant favourite. The great quality of this video goes to show that McNally and Kelby aren't just photographers. For starters, they've got a sense of humour; the kind of humour that only the initiated can appreciate. :)
Best laugh I have all day. What if Joe had put that in his last book?
Great video!
