Disrupting New Media and Verticals


This is an amazing article. Below is a little teaser of the type of disrupting you might be reading into.

If I can build on that, I'd like to point out the right column content area labeled just as honestly.


SxSW Recap

I was asked to help shoot the KEXP shows at Mellow Johnny's this year during SxSW. Being a fan of the all the great music KEXP runs on air and posts online, I was happy to help out. Below are stills from the interviews of The Black Lips and Hurray for the Riff Raff.





I also ran into this set by happy accident, Les Claypool's Duo de Twang.





SXSW Voting is Open


2014 is already on peoples mind. Especially if you are a SXSW event holder - official or not. We usually have a gathering of sorts at the McGarrah Jessee building, and of course plenty of musical acts are within walking distance, day and night. Last year we held a rooftop party at the office with beer, brats and musical acts ranging from Mayeux & Broussard to The Oh Sees.




Now, let's talk interactive. SXSW panel picker voting has started, I have submitted a workshop session and I'd love for people to have a look to vote, share and so on.

My workshop is titled Turn Your Idea into an Ownable Brand. I'll take product designers and startups through a 4 hour session to help them define their brand. They'll walk away with a DIY book that has typography, color, texture and personality. Guiding attendees through this hands on workshop will be a Strategy Lead, Motion Design Lead and an Executive Creative Director.




Skate Game with Leap Motion

As stated in a previous post, I got an early version of the Leap Controller and started playing around with interaction ideas and gaming concepts. I've ended on a skating game that really focuses on the board and the footwork. We'll have a scoring system, social gaming like S.K.A.T.E. (I do a trick and pass to a friend to match or get the letter "S"), and of course it goes on from there.

I'd love to hear some feedback or ideas to build upon.
