Communication

A great segment on Communication form on of my favourite shows Morning Joe:

Don't be afraid of making great videos.

It takes guts to make great videos.  It takes guts to have fun.  But if your whole organization buys in a simple training video become a marketing sensation.



Note: the blond guy -- he'd the CEO of Air New Zealand.  (And, yes, the other guy is the amazing race guy)

We Live in Public

Watch it.

ONLINE BUSINESS VIDEO BREAKDOWN

I get a lot of questions about online videos.  People know online video is exploding and they know they have to take part.  What they are unsure of is the type of video to produce.  Unfortunately, there is little on the topic on line and even video producers are often not very helpful.  I built the graph below as a tool to help guide clients through the process.

TECHNOLOGY -- WHAT IS IT?

Another great talk from TED.  I struggle with this idea constantly in this blog.  What is Technology?  What does it mean to us?

Using video to work with nurses in a hospital on efficiency isn't a new concept, but what I love about it is how the video is not used to spy on employees, but to show the employees what they do.  It's the employees who then offer suggestions on how to be more efficient.

WEIRD AL AND AUTO TUNE

I thought this video was a great way to providing entertaining information -- the goal of almost every corporate video.

CLIENTS

I love clients, but some can be very challenging. This video was obviously made by someone you just came off a bad experience and I bet it's close to true.
