There is no human interaction with the video, no faces, and no verbal language use. The videos also fit into the 2 minute window during which internet users commonly give up viewing a video. The viewer gets to experience food creation and the final product, which is stimulating without having any effort put in. The creator obviously knew his market and is now able to make money through advertisements. I wonder how long this trend will last, though, being that their dishes have been mass viewed and there are only so many recipes to post.

I have multiple friends tell me that they cannot replicate the results of the Tasty videos on their own, leading me suspect the validity of those videos. I wonder why there is such an issue with so many people.sinplatedgoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073192757815406380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149635592475082.post-76126033383222409202017-04-19T15:26:13.338-07:002017-04-19T15:26:13.338-07:00I can relate to this post because I love tasty vid...I can relate to this post because I love tasty videos! I agree with the fact that they're appealing because of the visual demonstration. I personally have read recipes where I am confused on what to do. I think the best part of the videos is that when you watch it, you feel as though you can do it. They take many dishes and show how easy it is to make them, and provide a convenient link to the full recipe. I would be interested to hear more on how they created it. It was inspired by a burnt cookie, but how did they come up with the concept to record it in such a different way than has been done before?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14906846173868087543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149635592475082.post-84008873237396686232017-04-18T22:00:50.067-07:002017-04-18T22:00:50.067-07:00I think tasty bridges the ideals of the old with t...I think tasty bridges the ideals of the old with the new. They take the original trends of the cookbooks, cooking channel, cooking shows, and brings them to the new medium:internet and social media. By givig such detailed step by step instructions they are highlighting certain failproof methods to cook some amazingly detailed products. Since they are giving such detailed guidelines in how one should prepare a meal, do you believe that they are in fact taking creativity out of cooking?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835490280235160230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149635592475082.post-44897197753682741192017-04-18T19:38:04.779-07:002017-04-18T19:38:04.779-07:00One a month?

I really love how they are simple videos that show easy meals that one would usually consider to be outside the bounds of their repertoire. I have definitely found many new recipes that I now cook quite often. Although this was the idea of Zhou, I wonder how many different chefs were able to collaborate with him in order to create all of the videos and meals.

In the web of interconnected social media today, it has become more important that videos like Tasty carry over into other medias. I know that Tasty videos are also available on Twitter, further widening their audiences!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388211198441925851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149635592475082.post-12818865020755773542017-04-18T18:19:58.675-07:002017-04-18T18:19:58.675-07:00Tasty-style videos have certainly become an immedi...Tasty-style videos have certainly become an immediately recognizable and enjoyable genre of online content in the past few months. I wonder, however, what Zhou's creative process was like when he made the first Tasty videos. In some ways, Tasty has taken hallmarks of cooking shows that go back at least to Julia Child. Even filming from above has been used by Rachel Ray, Mario Batali, and Martha Stewart. At first glance, these videos seem to be just an amalgam of techniques already available in the consumer market. Yet, there is something special and different about them. What about Zhou and his team's creative process has made these style of easy-to-access, aesthetically vibrant videos such a hit?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11858426010515147808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4351149635592475082.post-63241681893811377212017-04-18T17:27:46.868-07:002017-04-18T17:27:46.868-07:00I love these Tasty videos!

I hate taking the time to pay attention to the directions which I still get wrong half the time; it makes me not want to cook. It is actually extremely helpful to see exactly what it should look like step by step, and it makes me think that it's something I could actually accomplish. This is a really good example of someone taking a well-known and respected thing (cooking shows and traditional recipes) and making it more accessible and appealing to the next generation. This could also be an example of collaboration as many cultures, food styles, and companies have participated and added to the "hype" of the Tasty videos. I wonder if Zhou came up with the idea himself or if he collaborated with others to get this simple yet creative idea?Kennedy Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08991076358052940261noreply@blogger.com
