TED2008-BIG VIZ Production

Here is a short video of the work I was doing at TED2008 with Tom Wujec, Kevin Richards, and  John  Schmeir of Autodesk and Phil Davidson of Perceptive Pixel. It was a tour-de-force of documentation, where we graphically illustrated all 50+ speakers on the topic of The Big Questions. The illustrations were created by Kevin and myself on Wacom tablets, and then accessed from our hard drives by the Perceptive Pixel-Multitouch wall shown in two posts ago. I made this video from photos and videos I took at the event. Tom Wujec is now making an on-line book of all our drawings that will be available at www.autodesk.com.

Simple Animations Bring Commoncraft Videos Alive

Ole Qvist Sorenson, our Bigger Picture colleague in Denmark, linked me into a wonderful source of simple, animated videos that explain things like blogs, social networking and other subjects relevant to the emerging metaverse of the web. These videos replicate the experience people have working with a skilled graphic facilitator who can sketch out things like this, and go further by providing a reusable format. Thanks Ole.
