Judd Albrecht has always been a creative person, from when he was young all the way up until now. Some ways he satisfies that need to be creative are animating, creating graphics, writing/playing music and playing with his kids. He went to school and graduated with a degree in 3D animation. Along with a background in animation, he developed many more skills that have made him a well-rounded digital artist. The thing he loves most about being an artist at PresenterMedia is being able to create content that will help people better express their message and help bring their presentations visually to life.
In this conversation, Judd talks about PresenterMedia, and Roundy, their new animated character.

When you are in train stations, airports, or shopping malls, you will see video advertising for clothing, electronic devices, bags, perfumes, etc. everywhere. They are using very attractive and colorful television screens to broadcast their ads. These screens scream for attention because the more they are seen, the better the marketing campaigns are, the better the sales. Let me give you a very good tip on how you can save time and money and make video advertising much easier using PowerPoint.
Videos are a bit more complex to create. First of all, you have to record your environment. Imagine a woman walking in a sunny and romantic city with a new travel suitcase. You have to clear the pathway, arrange that model, dress her, walk around with the suitcase, and then video-record it, possibly from different angles and with multiple shots. That takes time and preparation. Maybe your video recording work is much easier when you don’t need recording and maybe can rotate your product on a turntable and record it that way. Much easier and cheaper!
