Backstage crew or Spinal Tap.

This video is to corporate theater road dogs what Spinal Tap is to aging rock stars… it hits a little too close to home but totally funny.

Behavioral Economics

Rory Sutherland speaking at #TDC10 from Herb Kim on Vimeo.

Fascinating discussion about Behavioral Economics. I highly recommend if you are in any type of “communication business” that you take the time to watch this.

Behavioral Economics: The context, the medium, and the interface within which a decision is taken, may have a far greater affect on the decision we make than the long term  consequences of a decision even when we KNOW those consequences.

- Daniel Kahneman, Nobel Prize Economics 

Today's Secret Ingredient... A dose of crazy.

I found this on another website and couldn’t even get thru the whole thing before I had to share it.  Watch his eyes get bigger and bigger thru the episodes… apparently this is a compilation of every “secret ingredient” since the beginning of Iron Chef America.

Amazing Stop Motion.

Wanna Learn Apple Color?

Here is a tiny disclaimer. Joseph Linaschke is a good friend of mine. We met about 8 or 9 years ago when Joseph was at Apple as their head demo artist and tutorial producer and I was a contractor that they use to bring in to create tutorial videos. 

Well now ever since Apple abandoned the trade show circuit they didn’t need Joseph. And since the advent of Screenflow, Joseph doesn’t need MY help anymore. 

At any rate. I watched his latest project, an in-depth demo of the best “free color corrector” you’re ever gonna get for Final Cut Pro, Apple’s Color. I’ll admit I am NOT a fan of the workflow of color but when Joseph walks you through all the features of Color it makes you wonder… “wow, why aren’t I launching this app more often.?”

Joseph is CLEARLY one of the best. He never glosses over anything, including how to set up your mouse so you have all the controls at your fingertips that you’ll need to really operate the application.

In my career I’ve literally shot THOUSANDS of software demos going back to the mid 80’s and I can honestly say, there is NO one I look forward to working with and listening to more than Joseph.  Do yourself a favor and take a look at this video, you won’t be disappointed.
