With each passing month, online videos are getting more creative, more fun to watch, and less expensive to produce which bodes well for our Spidvid community. Below are 5 remarkable viral videos from September. There are dozens of others likely just as deserving as these, so if you have a favorite please include the link in the comments below.

1. Rhian Touches Herself – What a brilliant move to campaign for men getting tested for testicular cancer. I’m sure that Rhian had many guys grabbing their balls, but for what reason?! Video production takeaway: Sex sells, and hot women get attention, use them when appropriate in your entertaining videos.

2. Puss In Boots – The Cat Haz Swagger – The Old Spice TV commercials were huge viral sensations. This video isn’t an ad for Old Spice, but rather, features a co-star from the Shrek series, Puss. Antonio Banderas would make a great cat, but in this video his character promotes the upcoming movie Puss In Boots. Video production takeaway: Cats are huge stars online, but getting them to do what you want isn’t always easy. So keep a quality camera close by at all times because you never know when that magical moment will happen. If that doesn’t work then animate a cute cat and give the kitty a sexy voice over.

3. World Greatest Drag Race – If you love sports cars and racing then this video is for you! Motor Trend reserved an airport strip and put 11 of today’s hottest cars (including a Ferrari, Porsche, Audi, Lotus, Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Evora, Corvette, Mustang, and Laguna) in a row to see which one was fastest. Well shot from many different angles with lots of car candy, enjoy. Video production takeaway: Always think big, and tap into people’s passions.

4. McFly’s Closet – Nike recently launched a campaign called Back To the Future. 1,500 shoes are being auctioned off with the money going to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinsons disease research. Check out these cool glowing kicks! Video production takeaway: Sell the future.

5. Carlsberg stunts with bikers in cinema – Beer maker, Carlsberg pulls off a genius stunt in Belgium with 148 bikers in a movie theater. Some innocent couples want to take their seat, but the room is filled with not so friendly looking gentlemen… how will they react? Video production takeaway: Reaction videos can be massive hits, just look at what Ashton Kutcher did with his TV show Punk’d.

5. Otter Mimics Boy – Many of us grew up with cats and dogs, and while playing with them was certainly fun, it is nothing like the experience this kid has with an otter at the San Diego zoo. Video production takeaway: animals and kids playing together are two key elements for viral success.
