- I have my own video website, it's called ellentube,
[applause] and if you don't know,
brace yourselves, because I have some exciting news.
You ready? (audience) Yes.
I have my own site. It's called ellentube.
[cheers and applause]
It's only been up for a few months,
but it's the number one video site with my name on it.
So-- [cheers and applause]
Thank you, thank you. [cheers and applause]
[cheers and applause]
You know, what's great about ellentube is that the content
is--it's fun for your whole family.
Your kids are safe on ellentube.
Babies love it, adults love it.
Teenagers love it, which is impresive,
'cause teenagers hate everything.
[audience laughter] And you can upload your videos,
and so, you've been posting some really great ones.
I'd like to share some that you've uploaded here.
This one is from Adolfo Sagastume, I believe,
from Tarzana, California.
(man) Okay, [indistinct], come on.
You got this.
Trick shot. Ini the basket.
- Go. - Come on, Batman.
go.
- [cheers] [cheers and applause]
[cheers and applause]
- Amazing!
[cheers and applause]
That is very impressiev, Batman. Good for you.
[audience laughter] That was a good video,
then I noticed there were some mistakes people are making,
and I want to help-- I'm alays happy to help you,
so here are some tips: when you're shooting a video,
make sure tehre's sound. [audience laughter]
Because I ask my viewers to record themselves,
'cause I hear a lot of people dance when I'm dancing?
So I said, "Hey, video yourself dancing,
and upload it to ellentube."
so I got one from--I think her name is Tiana Buckley
from New Minas, Nova Scotia,
and she forgot the sound.
[audience laughter and [applause]
[audience laughter]
[cheers and applause]
She was tickling tWitch.
Here's another tip: if you-- you should point the camera
at what you're trying to film.
[audience laughter] This is what I think is a scare,
and it's from Tara Murdoch in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania.
[audience laughs quietly]
[scream] [person making barking noises]
- [laughs] [audience laughter]
- I--was that a good scaer? I don't know.
[audience laughter]
We'll never know.
You can see that exclusively on ellentube.
[audience laughter] You can watch it,
over and over again and find out what--
if you can figure out what was going on.
If your going to scare someone,
you hanve to make sure and point the camera at them.
- Yah!
[laughter and applause]
- See?
See, like, I pointed a caemra at Andy
and Andy didn't know I pointed a camera at him, so,
that was a good scare. Did you like it, Andy?
- Yeah, very funny. - Okay, good.
[audience laughter]
If you want tos ee that aagain, you can upload it on--
you know, I'm gonna upload that on ellentube,
so people can watch that over and over again.
And finally, when you're shooting with a smartphone,
Um, most people know to hold it horizontally, don't you?
Because if--you get more in the frame,
because if you hold it vertically,
the picture will narrow,
like this one from Ray Thompson from Joplin, Missouri.
- Ellen, would you please help me convince my wife
why she needs to stay off the lawnmower?
I appreciate her wanting to help me,
but this is why I need your help.
[audience laughter]
Here's my lawnmower. As you can see,
it has been scorched in flames.
And there's our fence.
[audience laughter]
Thank you.
[laughter and applause] - Okay, so--
How does that happen?
[cheers and applause]
How does a lawnmower catch on fiore?
Why are you sending me lawnmower repair questions?
I-- [audience laughter]
I want to hlelp you. My first idea
was to get you one of those push mowers,
with the blades, 'cause those don't catch--
they can't catch on fire, but then I had a better idea:
I called my friends at John Deere,
and we are going to send you a brand-new John Deere S240 Sport.
[cheers and applause]
How you doing over there, Gina?
- Good. - You can't get it going?
Don't know how to do that?
- [giggles] - Okay.
[audience laughter]
No, don't even try it.
I have a feeling you'll set that--oh.
[audience laughter]
