Bright Forecast for Cloud Computing:
"Origin Digital's use of Windows Azure and SQL Azure really exemplifies the key benefits of the platform – economy and flexible scalability. In the entertainment industry, especially on the broadband side, use and consumption of media services can be really unpredictable – largely due to the collaborative nature of digital media. The Windows Azure platform offers a great way for strong Microsoft partners in the Digital media industry, like Origin Digital, to handle this dynamic gracefully - without frontloading costs or sacrificing quality."  Read the full press release: http://tiny.cc/3mlf5

HDHere at Origin Digital, we are frequently asked to explain just what HD, or high definition, means in the online world.  The conversation normally starts when the client asks for a “widescreen” player size (16:9 aspect ratio) which has become popular on social media sites such as YouTube who recently switch their default player to widescreen.   This is also driven by the explosion of HD television sets in the home, and the closer fit of the widescreen format to our vision (we see in widescreen).  HD online is actually more about making that content accessible to everyone versus making sure they can view it at the same quality as on their TV.

Powerful Quote:
Oglivy once said...


Dr. Gallup reports that if you say something which you don't also illustrate, the viewer immediately forgets it. I conclude that if you don't show it there is no point in saying it.
Try running your commercial with the sound turned off; if it doesn't tell without sound, it is useless.
