Brighten up for happiness?

While working in my half assed youtuber studio with bright color accurate light I noticed something. The lights seem to mildly mitigate my winter blues. Lets embiggen that effect! The experiment starts now, with more, larger and better quality video light panels. Every year I have a moderate case of the winterblues.

I like to up my game, so what microphone should I get?

That’s the most asked question I get. Here’s some very common and great working microphones. These are my favourites (that are available at moment of writing this article) The Blue Yeti Nano: https://www.coolblue.nl/product/819845/blue-yeti-nano-grijs.html It’s small, it’s relatively affordable and sounds good. It’s also USB and runs out of the box.

Why don’t users care?

As a prime example our pension fund friends are without exception blind for the elephant in the room: nobody cares about the pension until it’s ‘too late’. All because they do not know who they are making for: people with more on their mind than that automated financial transaction. They are just focussed on their financial products and the baffling feedback that people are discontent, but don’t want a dialogue.

Who do we design, make and create for?

Regarding people in antiquated words is not sustainable! We should do more. We shouldn’t design, build and create for an alien race! We’re creating for our mom, for the part time cashier at the swimming pool where your son got his A-certificate, for the soldier defending our right to complain, for the millions of people we like and the millions of people we don’t understand.

Learnings and next steps, with you?

This was a really cool project to work on, but it’s not finished by a long shot because we’ve got an arm-long wishlist to incorporate. To mention some: ditch the green screen and use camera’s with depth perception, use gestures to interact with the experience, use more interactive animations, track the body in the experience, so we can even put some elements ON you.
