OgilvyCT rethinking the skippable YouTube Ad for Audi
I spotted this on Twitter last night and thought this was worth a repost. For a while now, YouTube has implemented the idea of the skippable ad which means after 5 seconds of the ad, you are able to click a skip button and get to the content you actually wanted to see. Most of […]
I bought a Samsung phone and my world didn’t end.
I need to preface this by saying that I’ve been an Apple user for nearly 25 years. I have worked almost exclusively within the Apple ecosystem for that period and things have been good. For my chosen profession of video editing, this relationship, for the most part has been a good one. So when the […]
I’m not a runner…
I’m not a runner, or at least I wasn’t. I never thought I would end up being someone who could be identified as being a runner. Each time I think about this, I keep having a ‘who are you and what have you done with Alister?’ moment. It’s just not me, and yet here I […]
Backup your shit.
Seriously people. Backup your shit. I don’t care what you are doing now. Stop whatever it is and go and do a backup NOW. You think I am kidding? Don’t make me come around there….. This is the kind of ‘take to people with a stick’ attitude that is needed to get regular folks to […]
30 days without Social Media. An experiment.
Ok, so I read an article this morning by Steve Corona (CTO @ Twitpic) about giving up Social Media for 30 days and it struck a chord. You can read the article here. http://stevecorona.com/how-30-days-without-social-media-changed-my-life So rather than doing the usual thing of waiting till the end of the month for this kind of adventure or […]
Don’t forget to archive your MobileMe.
oh mobile me. I remember that. It was that super early cloud offering from Apple that kind of lost relevance as time went by. Well, if you hadn’t heard, it is being shut down at the end of the month (30th June 2012). More details can be found here. http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html I have seen others post […]
USA Trip. Part 1 – Pre-NAB
Ok, so I have been in the USA for nearly a week now. Just a bit of a pre-NAB tour of the countryside to get acclimated and ready for the mayhem that is NAB. Part of this trip is to experience the wonder that is the yearly festival of all things broadcast – NAB Show […]
Rendering….
One of my New Years goals (note. not resolution) is to write. Not write more or write heaps. Just write. I am one of those people who is constantly thinking of ideas, then gets frustrated when I cant get that idea out. It doesn’t necessarily matter if anyone is listening or reading for that […]
Back again.
This is really just a setup post. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s more of a ‘hey, is this thing on?’ than a ‘hello world.’

A boy and his ATOM. A short film by IBM.
I’ve just spotted this on the interwebs and felt the need to share. The folks over at IBM have made a short film. Initially there is nothing special about that except that the star of the short film is an atom. Well, actually a group of atoms. They are using single atom’s as pixels to […]

New email spam pretending to be via @vimeo . Pls RT
Just a tip in case folk haven’t spotted this, there seems to be a new email spam adventure with emails pretending that they were sent via @Vimeo and relating to your videos. The emails say that they are a reporter (I’ve had two pretending to be from the Wallstreetjournal.com) who want to use your video. […]
