Come back inner monologue, all is forgiven!

I've been on facebook since 2007, three years since it launched in the U.S.A. and as I'm physically removed from most of my friends, I've relied on it heavily, becoming both an active socialiser and the go-to guy at work for Social endeavours, even taking on the responsibility of the Samsung Developers LinkedIn Group management. Away from the corporate side of things, I'm at the point where I have a though, then copy-edit it and store it for future release via a social channel... Something doesn't quite feel right about the fact that my good, often unformulated ideas, become soundbites, reduced to 140 characters presented to a pool of connections I might not know as well as I should, or value as much as I should....

 

Recently I caught myself trolling on-line. I hadn't expressly set out to, but I'd found myself being mean, harsh and derogatory toward my connections on both facebook and LinkedIn and I realised I should know better. I gave myself a 10 day time out from facebook, (coinciding with a busy period at work) and did some thinking about Social Networking.

this is what I do: 2011 Test Flash movie

Found this while checking through my YouTube channel and thought I should make it live... The final version (in Flash) was used in the Commerce: Making money with bada video made in 2011.

So it's been about a month now since my last post, announcing work on the S Pen tutorial video and it's been a good experience so far. After shooting all the direct to camera, we recorded all the audio, leaving me able to go away and start chopping it out into scenes. I was quite happily sailing along, one eye on Motion, one on Final Cut when Apps World 2012 rushed us from a dark alleyway.
