I pulled Aza Raskin and Atul Varma aside on a busy day in Mountain View and asked: “What are you going to do at Drumbeat Festival“? Shooting from the hip, Atul suggested using Etherpad for teaching/learning HTML. Aza – departing from a Margaret Mead quote:
“Never underestimate the power of a small but committed group of people to change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has”
- will explore how rapid prototyping and the open web can empower said small groups of committed people.
The Drumbeat Festival will be filled with people like Aza Raskin and Atul Varma– people taking advantage of the fact that the internet gives all of us a million new ways to learn. Anywhere.










Wish I could concentrate on the audio, but I’m mesmerized by the quality of the video.
Looks like a prime lens very wide open; lovely depth of field and moiré for video. Only thing that distracted me was the few times that the white balance seemed to reset / adjust.
Great video, Henrik. Really nice. Same rig as in Toronto for Drumbeat?
Phillip.
Thanks! It was a really quick and dirty shoot with the 7d and the 17-55 lens and not even sure I had a mic on. 7d is really difficult in those kinds of situations!
