PowerPoint Karaoke

http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/files/images/ppt_karaoke_0_0.png Have you played PowerPoint Karaoke yet? Ok this is one for the real nerds and geeks. The rules are simple. 1. Have a powerpoint or slideshow that no one knows yet. 2. A presentor tries to present the Powerpoint or Slideshow and make a coherent (and often humoruos) presentation. 3. (Optional) Presentor must take a shot after every second slide or other interval for drinking game varioation.

I first saw this played at Kinnernet09. I realised this is an excellent game to use in my presentation techniques course at the HKU. Unfortunately there is a lack of powerpoints created for Powerpoint Karaoke. so I had my students make a bunch of them. Here is a whole slew of free Karaoke presenations that you can use with your friends or co-workers that they made. Just click on one of the links and start playing.

For an example there are a couple free games to try out that some of my students made. Felisberto de Brito has made eggCademy and Ziggy Naumann has made Hotel Luma. Both are in the running for the Festival of Games 2009 award from the NLGD. Go and check them out if you can't handle the humpday this week. Enjoy!

Theater Festival TF Video Blog

When I was back in Amsterdam I gave a Video Blogging Masterclass at the Machouse to a group of young video blog enthusiats. The class was put together by the TF, Theater Festival for the Netherlands and Vlanderen and the Fringe Festival. This week they have an annual Theater Festival in Amsterdam and the students from the Masterclass are making all kinds of videos and posting them on the TF Vlog Site. I love seeing people start to Video Blog for the first time. The smiles and the joy of creation and worldwide publication is a real thrill when they do it. I really hope that they keep it up. In any case check out the site and the vlogs.

Here is the first one from the class:

If you are into Theater and Video, this is going to be very cool. The TF (Theater Festival) organization is looking for students and creatives to Video Blog the Theater Festival in Amsterdam this September. As training I will be giving a 2 day workshop to at the Machouse in Amsterdam on the 21 and 22 of August to those that want to participate.

We will be going through everything from camera work, sound, live moblogging, review of various video sharing sites and more. It will be 2 days of non-stop Video Blogging tips, tricks and techniques. So if you are interested got to this site for more info or email Carolien Labib [ carolien (AT) tf.nl ] to sign up. The course will be in English, because my Dutch is slipping away. Sign up quickly while there is still space.

Exposure 08 roundup

It was very cool to goto the North last week to give a small workshop in Video Blogging. I saw some old students, met some new ones, and even got some alocoholic beverage which I can only describe as watered down jet fuel. Because I went through the whole process and introduction less than an hour, I flew through the sites as examples and tools that I like to use. I promised everyone I would add it here, so I made a PDF of the keynote project (so no films, but the links are there) so everyone could browse through afterwards. Now I'm gonna start working on my Socail Gaming and Theater presentations. ;-)
