Society for Scholarly Publishing: Keynote Reaction Video

June 4, 2009 By Adam

I spent last week in Baltimore at the Society for Scholarly Publishing‘s Annual Meeting. The keynote speaker was Adam Bly, Founder, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Seed Media Group. I thought his speech was excellent, and other attendees thought so as well.

Here’s a video I made of a few reactions from the audience:

Demo Video for GV Mobile iPhone App

April 6, 2009 By Adam

Last week, I saw that the developer of GV Mobile was looking for someone to make a demo video before the app was availabel on the iTunes store. I was excited get my hands on the program, so I said I’d be happy to make the video for him. I wanted to experiment with shooting the screen of my iPhone in the “Apple/Google” style, so I did it that way.

I used no video lights at all for the filming — only room and window light. I was quite impressed with what I could get with only a piece of colored paper, an iPhone, and a tripod as my materials. It was an experiment for me, so I really do appreciate any and all critiques on the video.

The reason there is some yellowness to the shadow is that I did mix lighting colors. If I were doing this as a paid project rather than an experiment, I would definitely have done a few things differently — with lighting at the top of that list (first and foremost, actually using lights!).

Does anyone else have any comments on the video? I was thinking of offering to do these for other iPhone developers for pay, if this one serves Sean well. I’d love to hear what the app-buying public thinks of this kind of video.
