I should've left a comment on the YouTube so you'd get it quicker and more constructively. Me bad.</p>
<p>Glad you're a) uploading a fresh version and b) that you've stimulated some good debate on the attention gap that's emerged since, indeed, Facebook was invented! :-)</p>Angel A.

Yes, it's embarrassing the errors in it (even though I did check for errors, seems not hard enough) I made the changes and will be re-uploading it.</p>
<p>The video was done in Adobe After Effects in a style called "Kinetic Typography" which, essentially, is just moving type. The original layout was done in Adobe Illustrator then animated in AE.</p>
<p>Great topic of conversation by the way.</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p>Dean Shareski commented on 'Do I Have Your Attention?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e20133f5b91394970b2010-11-10T04:06:50Z2010-11-10T04:06:50ZDean Shareskihttp://shareski.caTechnically speaking, this type of typography animation is also referred to as Illuminated Text.

I also know that the lastest version of PPT offers some less complex ways of accomplishing this.<br />

<p>Once again, you've got me thinking. Thinking about attention. <br />

(let's put some responsibility on all).</p>
<p>Also, I wont quibble with spellings in the video, but its not prezi, but done in After Effects. It does strike me as an interesting assignment to animate a scene form a movie via typographic animation.</p>Stephen Downes commented on 'Do I Have Your Attention?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451f00f69e2013488d442cb970c2010-11-09T11:48:14Z2010-11-09T11:48:14ZStephen Downeshttp://www.downes.caPerjur is also glaringly incorrectly spelled.<p>Perjur is also glaringly incorrectly spelled.<br />

<p>Asked by teachers- loads of times.</p>
<p>Asked by students - rarely if ever.</p>
<p>This question can also relate to teachers blind to the needs of the students in the way that they wish to learn. </p>
<p>With 25 students (or more) in a classroom, a teacher can never give a student their full attention but when the curriculum gets more attention than students over a year, it is easy for the students to offer the minimum amount of <i>their</i> attention. </p>
