SKITish Media Partners with JCC Manhattan to Create Seder Parody Video

Last month, the SKITish team had the pleasure of partnering with Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan. What did we create, you ask? Nothing short of a frickin’ miracle!

We present to you, Seder: The Movie! Written and Directed by comedian Eitan Levine and Produced by Christine Page, Jon Fatigate, and Dani Zoldan.

The video portrays the common characters at everyone’s Seder table starting with your Aunt who relates everything to Jerusalem down to your Bubbe who makes her own rules up as she goes. Not to mention, Elijah the Prophet makes an appearance – one you definitely don’t want to miss!

We wrangled in some of the best comedians in the biz to bring this video to life. Let us tell you, they were nothing short of hilarious the entire way through. Thank you to Joyelle Johnson, Iris Bahr, Max Ash, Anna Roisman, Jenny Gorelick, Ashley Gavin, Matt Broussard, Kathryn Kates, Liza Treyger, and Judy Gold!

We would also like to thank the amazing crew Dan Hirshon, Gabriel Lacks, Mariya Chulichkova, Melanie St. Clair, Ben Jackson, and our wonderful PAs who kept us caffeinated and sane.

Buzzfeed Tasty Parody: Nudtrition and Skitish Media

With the help of Skitish Media, Nudtrition has created a satirical video parodying the iconic Tasty videos on Buzzfeed, to help broaden its consumer base.

Nudtrition is a vitamin company based in New York. According to the company’s research, most beauty products for hair, skin and nails use unnatural and sometimes harmful ingredients. These products may enhance a persons looks but for how long are people willing to risk the damage it can do to someone’s body? Nudtrition has an alternate solution. Rather than replacing natural beauty with artificial colors and products, Nudtrition offers health, natural, supplements, which merely complements a persons natural beauty rather than substituting it with unnecessary beauty products. For example, Bare Beauty is a new Nudtrition supplement that supports and promotes natural beauty.

To help gain publicity, Skitish Media created a parody of healthy food preparation videos like Buzzfeed Tasty. Lipstick, foundation, eyelashes, blush, press on nails, hair extensions, are just some of the many ingredients used to make a delicious “healthy smoothie.”

“All-Natural Vitamin Beauty Enhancer Nudtrition™ Offers a Healthy, Sexy Way to Support Your Natural Body.”

  

 

Nudtrition, offers a healthier and sexier look. With over 540,000 views on Facebook, Nudtrition has been able to reach a wide audience and spread its health supplement products to a wider consumer base; from foodies to workout buffs.

This is due to Skitish Media’s efforts in creating new and fresh content. Partnered up with Stand Up NY, a premier New York City Comedy Club on the Upper West Side, Skitish Media focuses on branded entertainment and used comedy to help promote and disseminate information about the Nudtrition.

Gamer Up Goes Viral in Video With Kendra Sunderland, AKA Library Girl

Kendra Sunderland AKA Library Girl

Gamer Up, a supplement which gives focus, energy and endurance to gamers, partnered with Skitish Media to produce a hilarious video with famous porn star, Kendra Sunderland.

New York, NY – Controlled Labs is a popular supplement company who saw a huge opportunity with a demographic that you might not expect from a brand that is typically associated with body builders.  If gamers are athletes, then focus is their muscle.  Gamer Up was designed to maximize that focus, and our creatives at Skitish Media decided to push it to the limit.

Kendra Sunderland is a wildly popular adult film actress who gained fame for using her time at the Oregon State University library to give peep shows to people on webcam sites. She quickly became known as “Library Girl” and a fan base followed her as she was arrested and kicked out of school for the viral display.

Skitish Media creatives were well aware of Kendra and her talent for humor as well as for beauty.  Tapping into some of our favorite comedians (Greg Stone, Rosebud Baker, Neko White, and Zac Amico), the video features them competing to game while Kendra fights for their distraction.  The results are hilarious, and the feedback has been very exciting.

The video reached more than 500,000 people in less than 24 hours.  Check out the video below:
