The Burns Effect

I haven't yet figured out how to add video clips so... do me a favour and click on the link for this clip with Ken Burns.

He is `famous' for the idea of giving motion to photos by zooming in or moving around still pictures. The clip was on Presentation Zen, one of my favourite (not often updated) blogs about presenting.

Garr Reynolds (the blogger and author of Presentation Zen) comes up with some wonderful ideas about how to bring presentations to life. What I like about the way he goes about it is looking outside your world for inspiration.

So, even as an accountant, a teacher, a lawyer, a doctor, or an engineer training managers... you can improve your presentation skills and tell a good story by learning from documentary makers, comic-strip artists, comedians, TV-series, adverts or just about anything where anyone is telling a story.

Don't Bore People.
