Al Gores Movie " An Inconvenient Truth" Just Absolutely Fabulous
I want to replace my older digital videocam with a new one, but I don't know exactly which one to buy. Do you guys have any idea? I was thinking HD...
Funny? yes!,.....accurate? On a PowerBook it seemed unlikely!
Duarte Design helps Al Gore "go visual"
"When I posted about Al Gore's one-man traveling slideshow last week, I had totally forgotten (misremembered?) that it was Duarte Design that helped Al Gore create those compelling slides that are so crucial to his live presentations. Then I received this comment from Ted Boda, a Duarte designer who worked with Al Gore on the project...
"Al Gore's presentation was in fact using Apple's Keynote presentation software (the same software Steve Jobs presents from) and did so for a number of reasons. As a designer for the presentation Keynote was the first choice to help create such an engaging presentation." Apple's Keynote anti-aliases its fonts and graphics, scales vector objects and supports QuickTime videos easily and without any plug-ins. Duarte used a combination of Keynote's graphics and graph tools, Illustrator, Photoshop, AfterEffects (for more complex animations) and dropped in numerous videos from different sources to complete his presentation. Some of the videos dropped were up to 1920x1080 (HD), they played and scaled extremely well and was something our team could not even begin to think about doing in PowerPoint." -- Ted Boda..........
......Duarte helped take Al's visuals up several notches Yesterday I asked Nancy Duarte a few questions about working with Al Gore. Here's what she said.
Q: How did Al Gore find you guys?
A: "We were referred to Mr. Gore from Apple's graphic design group because of our mastery of Apple's Keynote application. Keynote really was the only option since it handles image, video and animation so well. He had just joined the board so our office location was very convenient.
