Building 43: The coolest iPad application ever invented

Robert Scoble of Building 43/Rackspace interviews Etienne Mineur and discusses what may be the coolest iPad app/technology i’ve seen. It’s basically a Disney game that uses plastic figures placed on the iPad screen as pawns in a game. The iPad can actually differentiate between the different character figures when they placed on the screen.

After watching the interview, make sure you visit Etienne’s website. What a creative guy.. “The Living Dead Pixels” is worth a look. 🙂

The Future of Live Sports Production!

The world is rapidly changing. Budgets are dropping, sponsors are cutting back.. It seems like everything around us is in decline! Everything except the demand for sports programming!

In this perfect storm of lower budgets but more demand for content, what is a producer to do?

D2 Productions teamed up with live sports producing legend, Joel Kitay to show what the future holds for live sports production..

On the weekend of May 13-15, 2011, D2 Productions teamed up with longtime partner Kitay Productions to produce cutting-edge experimental coverage of college baseball for Conference USA.

Our mission: to produce network-level HD sports coverage within a budget roughly one-third to one-half that of comparable broadcasts.  We headed to Rice University in Houston for a weekend series against Memphis.  We built the production system on Friday, and then produced games on Saturday and Sunday which aired on CBS Sports Network.  Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we did it.

TriCaster powers live coverage for Rice University Baseball and Conference USA
