InDesign Music Video, by Johnny Encore and the Acrobats

This music video brought down the house at the recent InDesign conference in Seattle (turn up your speakers before playing!)

If you want to learn more about Johnny or the After Effects CS4 “Cartoon” effect used to produce this movie, check out this half-hour show at Adobe TV.

In the meantime, if you just want more, see what Johnny and the folks at Adobe came up with when they tackled Photoshop (Photoshop Dream Girl).

(Many thanks to Michael Ninness and Branislav Milic for bringing this to our attention. And a significant thank you to Johnny’s mother… for bringing us Johnny.)

Happy InDesigning!

    Yes, the bar has been raised. But wait till you see InDesign on Vacation II. We start filming as soon as I can get another pile of boxes to destroy. None of this CGI stuff. ; )

    Jeez Mike, Anyone who’s anyone downloads their software today. Perhaps you could just trash a few Macbooks.

    You make a good point. I do have a PowerBook G4 that’s getting a little “vintage.” Maybe I could drop it off the roof. With InDesign running, of course.

    That’s one way to speed it up…for a very short period of time, of course.
