Use more comedy to get attention

This presentation did not seem as formal as the Pecha Kucha you showed us in class on Tuesday. He was more interactive with the audience and made more jokes then the introduction to Pecha Kucha. He took ideas that people already had but tweaked a few things to make them a little better or safer for people to use. For example he had a bench press mixed in with some sort of reclining chair so that if someone had dropped the bar on them selves it would give in instead of crushing your chest. The audience seemed like young adults or ages twenty to forty because of the fitness plans and the audience had to be pretty laid back because of all the jokes he was making. Most of his ideas were real far fetched that he drew on his on.

It seemed like he let his picture dictate how his speech was going or more like he was winging his presentation. He had really good images of his ides he had came up with and a lot of things that made you think that maybe in the near future these ideas he had could really be created. I still don’t know the format of the Pecha Kucha but it did not seem like he was following one. The one you showed in class was a recorded voice timed with pictures that would rotate. This guy did it live and went long with the pictures instead of the example one.

He drew a lot of his own lines in the pictures to show us visually what he was thinking in his head as he came up with the idea. I feel if he would have used still clips or jus one clip the audience would not of got a good idea or really good visual of what he was trying to create. I think if I would have pictures and a chance to visually show you what I was talking about in my RP3 argument it might have been felt more by the audience I was presenting to. I talked about how Cuban defectors were being taken advantage of by the Major leagues and some of the thing they had to do was take a little boat or waft to another country with sharks circling the boat and fifteen foot waves around them.

I had a nice picture of them in the boat but I did not have a chance to show what they were going through. It might have been better for me to use still clips instead of a video so the picture I would show could really sink in to the audience and they one in to what I am saying
