Stats that’ll change the way you (maybe) think about social media

Carl Rousseau from CabTV showed me this video about social media the other day. I thought I knew a lot about all of this, but this video has stats that’ll blow your mind. Good video to show your parents if they still don’t have a clue what YouTube is.

Surface film

One of my friend Tweeted this student movie yesterday and I was really amazed by it. The movie is called Surface, and it was directed by Varathit Uthaisri, a graduating student from Parsons School of Design in New York as part of his thesis project. The movie really reminded me of a sick ad for Fox about Nascar.
The movie is really clever, and has a good rhythm throughout with a cool climax at the end. Check out the website also, there is a whole section about the creative process as well as the production which is super interesting.

It’s that time of the year again: NAB 2009 !

As anyone working in the media domain, I’m truly excited to hear about everything new that will be launched in Las Vegas this year, during the NAB Show (National Association of Broadcasters). The trade show will go on until April 23rd. Conferences have already started, but the exhibits (what I want to hear about !) are starting on Monday.
I’ll be updating often during those 3 days, because I’m on the look out for a couple of products. I’m a new owner of Panasonic’s HMC-150, and the workflow with Final Cut Pro pretty much sucks right now. Apple is rumored to launch Final Cut Studio 3, with AVCHD support and Blu-Ray authoring, which would make my life much better !
Anyway, check often for updates. You can follow NAB updates realtime on Twitter !
