Visionary is the celebration of extraordinary individuals, innovations, ideas and events that offer progressive or foretelling insights. Bendrix highlights his thoughts and other lunatic fringe thinking.
Michael Rubin is the author of “Droid Maker” a book about the digital video revolution. Rubin states that Francis Ford Coppola, Steve Jobs, and George Lucas were the pioneers of the movie making: special effects, gaming avatars and video editing. The innovations that were created has given tools to everyday people to create motion picture stories in their own homes. This video was created at Macworld in 2006 when Podcasting and video-sharing were just arriving on the scene. The following is a tribute to the pioneers who paved the way for all of us to be able to create movies using the digital format.
You may have heard of the power that viral videos can have on brands. The “Will it Blend?” and Smirnoff’s “Tea Partay” clips have received unbelievable traffic - (5.4 and 4.5 mill page views respectively!). And the good news is you don’t have to be a Hollywood producer to create a rockin’ 3-minute message for your business, whether it’s client testimonials, or product demos, or company news. Take advantage of free video applications that give your site’s visitors a much richer experience. It’s time to move from the printed word to the moving image!
